Iran's President Says Israel Must Be 'Wiped Off the Map'
By NAZILA FATHI
TEHRAN, Oct. 26 - Iran's new hard-line president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, told a group of students at an anti-Israel event today that Israel must be "wiped off the map" and that attacks by Palestinians will destroy it, the Iranian student news agency, ISNA, reported.
He was speaking to an audience of about 4,000 student at a program called The World without Zionism, in preparation for an annual anti-Israel demonstration held on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan.
His tone was reminiscent of that of the early days of Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979. Iran and Israel have been bitter enemies since then, and anti-Israel slogans are common at rallies.
Senior officials had avoided provocative language over the past decade, but Mr. Ahmadinejad appears to be taking a more confrontational tone.
He said in his remarks today that the issue of a Palestinian state would be resolved only when Palestinians took control of all their lands.
"The establishment of Zionist regime was a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world," Mr. Ahmadinejad said, the news agency reported. "The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of the war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land."
Referring to comments by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic revolution, Mr. Admadinejad said, "As the imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map."
The remarks brought swift reaction in Israel and in some Western capitals.
Mark Regev, spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, said Mr. Ahmadinejad and the Hamas leader, Mahmoud Zahar, "speak openly about destroying the Jewish state ... and it appears the problem with these extremists is that they followed through on their violent declarations with violent actions," The Associated Press reported.
"I think it reconfirms what we have been saying about the regime in Iran," the White House press secretary, Scott McClellan, told reporters in Washington. according to The A.P. "It underscores the concerns we have about Iran's nuclear intentions."
France's foreign minister, Philippe Douste-Blazy, learning of Mr. Admadinejad's comments, said "I condemn them very forcefully," adding that he will summon Iran's ambassador to Paris to ask for an explanation, Agence France-Presse reported.
The tone of Mr. Ahmadinejad's predecessor, Mohammad Khatami, had differed markedly, with Mr. Khatami proposing a dialogue among civilizations and pursuing a policy of détente.
At the funeral of Pope John Paul II in April, Mr. Khatami was seated close to the Israeli president, Moshe Katsav, who said he shook hands with Mr. Khatami and chatted briefly. Mr. Katsav was born in the Iranian city of Yazd, which is Mr. Khatami's home town, and speaks fluent Persian.
However, despite media photos that showed the two men standing next to one another, Mr. Khatami denied the account of the encounter after he returned to Iran.
Mr. Ahmadinejad also called Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip a trick, and said Gaza is part of Palestinian territories and the withdrawal was aimed at convincing the Islamic states to acknowledge Israel.
"Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury," Mr. Ahmadinejad said. Any Islamic leader "who recognizes the Zionist regime means he is acknowledging the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world."

I stopped reading there.that attacks by Palestinians will destroy it,
The religion of peace, they are.
Religion has nothing to do with peace..even a Christian can decide to go to war.
The more I read about Israel/Palestine the more unsympathetic I am to Israel.
Really? Can you explain why?
But this is like Israel saying all of Islam should be wiped out. It's just not productive to peace.
Plus, Israel has never said that.
Hey I would love to see Iran spanked with a big airstrike at least...
Sorry what we meant is, Muslims arent violent, only their prophet mohammed, messenger of allah is
He also said "United States" should be gone with God's help. I don't have the exact quote.. lol.. Dumbass. He's gonna get spanked.
Its like saying the more mouse reads about the obesity epidemic in america, the more he wants to shove big macs down his throat... No logic. Its okay. its expected coming from CBF's illegit toy.
and where does fairly weak Shiite Syria get the means to supply such military support? Would Shiite Iran be involved?

U.N. Reports Rising Flow of Arms From Syria Into Lebanon
By JOHN KIFNER
Lebanon is facing an "increasing influx of weaponry and personnel from Syria" to Palestinian militia groups, a United Nations report said yesterday.
The report, the second of two United Nations investigations into Syria's interference in Lebanon, said there had been a remarkable turnabout from Syria's long domination there. Damascus removed its troops last spring after 30 years of occupation following mass demonstrations and international pressure over the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Still, the report says, Lebanon has not achieved "tangible results" in disarming the Palestinians and the Shiite Hezbollah militia or in exerting full control over its territory.
The situation remains "volatile," the report warned, citing "a number of worrying developments affecting the stability of Lebanon, particularly in the form of terrorist acts and the illegal transfer of arms and people across the borders into Lebanon."
While couched in diplomatic language, the report's clear implication that the Palestinian groups were acting at the behest of Syria appeared certain to increase pressure building against Damascus in the Security Council. The Council's special investigator issued a report last week saying the slaying of Mr. Hariri had been plotted by top-ranking Syrian and Lebanese intelligence officers, including the powerful brother-in-law of President Bashar al-Assad.
Mr. Assad has denied that he or his aides had anything to do with the assassination. He sent a letter to France, Britain and the United States early this week promising to prosecute any Syrian implicated by "concrete evidence."
As the report was being released, Lebanese Army commandos backed by tanks were surrounding several Palestinian bases in the Bekaa region -including one manned by a main Syrian-backed group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command - and setting up roadblocks near the Syrian border.
A Lebanese officer, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment, said the military deployment was a tightening of security because of growing fears that the Palestinian militias were smuggling arms from Syria into the Bekaa.
"Things aren't like they used to be in that area, and they are a lot more sensitive and need to be heavily guarded," the officer said.
The report issued yesterday, by the United Nations special envoy Terje Roed-Larsen, noted that the Lebanese Army had detained and deported a number of infiltrators of Palestinian origin who carried Syrian identification do ents. It said "Lebanon is witnessing a momentous transformation" since September, 2004 when the Security Council adopted Resolution 1559 calling for the Syrian withdrawal and the disarmament of armed groups.
The events "have led the people of Lebanon to pierce a wall of silence and speak out loudly and clearly," it said, adding, "Taboos of the past have been broken, and matters previously too sensitive to discuss openly are now the subject of open debate."
"Over the past six months, with the first parliamentary elections held after Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon and the formation of a new government, Lebanon has entered a new phase in its history, " the report said.
But it also noted a series of assassinations and 14 bombings in the last year, for which Lebanese have widely blamed agents of Syria. "As a result of such acts, numerous Lebanese political leaders have chosen to spend prolonged periods of time abroad, for fear of their lives," it said.
The report paid particular attention to the mounting tensions between the Lebanese government and the Damascus-backed Palestinian militias.
"Such armed groups have enjoyed relative autonomy inside Palestinian refugee camps, which the Lebanese authorities do not generally enter," it said.
"While there has been no fundamental change in the status of such groups, a variety of recent reports has suggested that there has been an increasing influx of weaponry and personnel from Syria to some of these groups," Mr. Roed-Larsen wrote. "The issue has also been raised with me by a number of senior Lebanese and other officials."
The leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, Ahmed Jibril, was named last week in the United Nations inquiry into Mr. Hariri's killing in February. It said he was part of the group of Syrian and Lebanese officials who planned and executed the huge truck bomb explosion that killed the popular former prime minister-turned-opposition-figure and 22 others. Mr. Jibril's group acts on behalf of Syria.
The report noted that the front had issued a statement on Oct. 4 strongly objecting to the "insistence of certain sides of the Lebanese government" to "hastily enforce Resolution 1559."
"The attempt to sacrifice the weapons of the Palestinians of Lebanon in line with Resolution 1559 will not be greeted with silence or compromise," the group's statement said, warning that Lebanon's prime minister, Fouad Seniora, would bear "direct responsibility for the hostile measures against our Palestinian people taken under the cover of a political and media campaign of disinformation."
On Oct 7, the Lebanese Army raided "Syrian-headquartered Palestinian armed groups" in the Bekaa seizing weapons, and the Palestinians went on a full alert, the report said.
Mr. Roed-Larsen said he had met in Paris with Mr. Seniora and the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, in which both men "expressed their grave concern over the illegal transfer of arms and people to Palestinian groups in Lebanon." Mr. Abbas, however, does not exert any control over the Syrian-backed groups, which are, in fact, his rivals.
Meanwhile in the diplomatic maneuvering surrounding French and American efforts to put pressure on Syria at the Security Council, Russia said it would block any attempt to impose economic sanctions.
"Russia will do everything necessary to stop attempts to introduce sanctions against Syria," a Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mikhail Kalmynin, told the Interfax news agency.

When the Arab world hates you, you have your reasons. The only problem with Israel is that they will attack if you with them. American problems with the ME would probably drop 20% if were not allied with Israel, even though it will never happen.
this is the beginning.
russia is in bed with syria. and now it seems Iran is in bed with all of them.
the Iranian Govt must be taken out...same same with Syria.
we have a road map to peace being established and these other countries do NOT WANT PEACE! THEY WANT BLOOD!
I would have hoped the people of Iran would do it themselves, but they do not have the power or resources.
Al Quiada operatives are penetrating our borders here at home and will deploy nuclear bombs soon.
Millions will die.
Last days, i'm tellin you.
GO NINERS!
The big beef Iran has with Israel and with most of the ME is that they got free HOLY land. I mean as far as I see it Jews and Muslims should be goody goody I mean they both don't eat pig!!!!!!11111
