Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Friday that "the very existence of the Zionist regime is an insult to all humanity and an affront to all world nations” and that confronting Israel is an effort to "protect the dignity of all human beings." He also called Israel "a corrupt, anti-human organized minority group standing up to all divine values."
Ahmadinejad was addressing worshipers at Tehran University after nationwide pro-Palestinian rallies, an annual event marking al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. He said that al-Quds Day was “an occasion for all human communities to wipe out this scarlet letter, meaning the Zionist regime, from the forehead of humanity.”
"Today, confronting the existence of the fabricated Zionist regime is in fact protecting the rights and dignity of all human beings," said Ahmadinejad, with a black and white scarf many Palestinians wear around his neck. He added that “Confronting Zionists will also pave the way for saving the whole humankind from exploitation, depravity and misery.”
Ahmadinejad and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have both repeatedly called for Israel’s destruction.
Demonstrators in Tehran set U.S. and Israeli flags on fire and chanted "Death to the U.S." and "Death to Israel" during their pro-Palestinian rally.

Asking this nutjob his opinion on Israel is like asking Martin Borman. You can not be expected to get a sane, reasonable response.
