    So some Muzzie loving apologist going to say this was mistranslated?

    Do you people understand the word "never?" That means we "never" should allow Iran the ability to Nuke Israel.

    http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/ahmadinejad-iran-is-determined-to-eradicate-israel-1.380629


    So basically he's saying "please attack me and destroy my regime" 'so my people can take over and create a Democratically run government.'

    I say ok lets do it.

    Israel must choose between life with moral/political condemnation or death.

    I think it's more like "Ahmadinejad is determined to use Israel as a distraction from his own failings."

    I don't believe that Iran is suicidal. They surely know that if they destroyed Israel, we'd destroy them.

    Iran may not be but Ahmadinejad is crazy. He believes that the 12th imam will come and save Iran from destruction. Therefore he doesn't believe it is suicidal to attack Israel.

    The Ayatollah has all of the real power in Iran. If he came to the same conclusion about Ahmadinejad, Iran would have a new president shortly thereafter.

    The Ayatollah has already told Ahmadinejad to step down, and he ignored him. Happened a couple of months ago.

    They don't need to attack Israel directly, they can provide nuclear weapons to Hezbollah or Hamas or any other terror group in the Middle East. They are already supplying all Israel's enemies with money and weapons, under the nuclear umbrella they will be doing it much more brazenly.

    Well, I guess that means that he won't be alive much longer.

    Defying the Ayatollah (even if you're the president) is usually the fastest path to death in Iran.

    Admittedly, I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. Maybe this is a clever ploy to compensate for the disastrous elections they held not long ago.

    Ahmadinejad lost a lot of his public credibility when it became painfully obvious that the last round of elections were rigged even more blatantly than before. By evoking a public feud with the Ayatollah and by making Israel the subject of his angst, it's easy to get the Iranian public on his side.

    This is true. Iran is definitely a pain in the ass, but currently, we've been supplying insurgencies in Iran as well.

    This game has many sides to it. We've been a player for decades now, and Iran's actions are largely just counterreactions.

    It's a game indeed...except of course for Israel it is a survival game. I hope you realize that their stake in the game is their existence and will therefore be supportive and understanding if at some point of time Israel decides to call the bluff of its primary opponent. :)

    I'm not particularly supportive of Iran or Israel, to be honest.

    I just wish we got out of the region altogether. If that requires more domestic drilling and refining, so be it.

    Fair enough. My problem is with the hypocrites and clowns who knowing full well that Iran is an existential thread for Israel, cheering Iran on and rooting for Iran to wipe Israel out, will be faking hysteria and righteous indignation if Israel decides to take matters into their own hands and eliminate the threat.

    Um... I would hope that "righteous indignation" would result from an attack by either side.

    Um...I was afraid you'd say that. Moral equivalence between a side that wants to eradicate the other (see the title of this thread) and a side that does whatever it can in order to not get eradicated.

    Zionist REGIME is not ISRAEL. He made the distinction many times and he always said it should be done in a peaceful way which will be a long process.

    You'll never convince these idiots that criticism of a political movement-Zionism-does not equate to vilification of their nation. They're either being deliberately obtuse or just plain stupid. You choose.

    don't think so, there Al. Only an insane religious fanatic with an nuke who was jonesing for paradise could even contemplate destroying Israel. Er, okay wait a minute........

    Are you familiar with why the US and USSR intervened in the yom kippur war?

    If it comes down to it, Israel has one helluva last resort. MAD worked in cold war, shud work in the middle east.

    Nonsense,

    zi·on·ism/ˈzīəˌnizəm/: Noun: A movement for (originally) the reestablishment and (now) the development and protection of a Jewish nation in Israel.

    That Islamists refuse to recognize Israel and call it "zionist regime" or "zionist entity" is well known and won't fool anyone. But by all means keep trying.

    Can you provide any credible links that demonstrate that he has made a distinction between the zionist regime and Israel many times?

    Can you provide any credible links for him stating that is should be done in a peaceful way?

    I don't care if Israel gets attacked. I don't want to see any country nuked since I believe nukes are very unpatriotic weapons. I'd much rather see the Israeli Prime Minister get popped by PLO lunatics.

    If Israel was really "doing whatever it can in order to not get eradicated", it would have dealt with Palestinians in a very different manner.

    The legacy of abuse that they've perpetuated on Palestinians helps to generate worldwide animosity towards them.

    I don't see Israel as that different from Iran in that respect. Both countries are pariahs for their abusive behavior.

    We are being called zionoists, zionist enemy or zionist whatever, instead of saying "state of Israel" the reason is simple, they dont acknowledge our existance, Mr,Ahmadinejad could simply say Israel has to change its way/political agenda and the world wouldnt get upset, but he''ll die before saying Israel, he wouldnt recognize us even if we make peace with Pal

    Interesting then that Iranian Jews are protected from persecution under the Iranian Constitution. If they were so hated and 'subhuman' I'd guess they'd be the first to go, no? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...6257611/Mahmoud-Ahmadinejad-Jews-in-Iran.html

    Mr. Ahmadinejad is involved in a war of words. Both sides in this phony war are guilty of giving each other the finger. http://www.linktv.org/video/4389/israels-prime-minister-condemns-iran
