Perham,
this question is very similar to one i asked you about previously.
ahmadinejad is at it again and below you will see how his comments have been reported in the western press. however, i have also seen comments that he was referring to "zionism" rather than "israel" in his remarks, which does affect the understanding of what was actually said.
if this is something you can clarify, it would be appreciated.
Quote:
Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday called Israel a "stinking corpse" which is doomed to disappear as the Jewish state celebrated its 60th anniversary.
"Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency. "Today the reason for the Zionist regime's existence is questioned, and this regime is on its way to annihilation," he said.
Ahmadinejad added that Israel "has reached the end like a dead rat after being slapped by the Lebanese" -- a reference to the July-August 2006 war between Israel and the Shiite Hezbollah militia.
