2) HERE is where Ahmadinejad said, and I quote:

“Israel must be wiped off the map,” Ahmadinejad told a conference called “The World without Zionism”, attended by some 3,000 conservative students who chanted “Death to Israel” and “Death to America”.

Are you truly suggesting that Ahmadinejad will tolerate Jews themselves but wants the country of Israel, the nation, the land, to disappear, but the people to stay….???? Where? He boasts that Iran has Jews, but they are NOT afforded the normal priveleages of the typical Persian Iranian.

Look, let’s be real. Muslims HATE Israel. From the days of Isaac and Ishmael Arabs have been trying to exterminate the Jews. ANd if this is about Jews “occupying” Jerusalem, how do you explain the Islamic persecution of Jews before 1947?

“‘When the dear Imam [Khomeini] said that [the Shah's] regime must go, and that we demand a world without dependent governments, many people who claimed to have political and other knowledge [asked], ‘Is it possible [that the Shah’s regime can be toppled]?’
“‘That day, when Imam [Khomeini] began his movement, all the powers supported [the Shah's] corrupt regime… and said it was not possible. However, our nation stood firm, and by now we have, for 27 years, been living without a government dependent on America. Imam [Khomeni] said: ‘The rule of the East [U.S.S.R.] and of the West [U.S.] should be ended.’ But the weak people who saw only the tiny world near them did not believe it.
“‘Nobody believed that we would one day witness the collapse of the Eastern Imperialism [i.e. the U.S.S.R], and said it was an iron regime. But in our short lifetime we have witnessed how this regime collapsed in such a way that we must look for it in libraries, and we can find no literature about it.
“‘Imam [Khomeini] said that Saddam [Hussein] must go, and that he would be humiliated in a way that was unprecedented. And what do you see today? A man who, 10 years ago, spoke as proudly as if he would live for eternity is today chained by the feet, and is now being tried in his own country…
“‘Imam [Khomeini] said: ‘This regime that is occupying Qods [Jerusalem] must be eliminated from the pages of history.’ This sentence is very wise. The issue of Palestine is not an issue on which we can compromise. ”

Even the context shows that he´s not talking about destoying a contry.

Oh yeah, I contributed to CBS’s ratings last night to watch Mike Wallace pacify Iranian’s leader Madman Ahmadinejah.The interview almost was the same as on Fox News Sunday with Connecticut Dem. Senate nominee Ned Lamont. Dems Talking Points!!…
