Iran leader Ahmadinejad brands Israel an 'insult to humanity' in explosive rhetoric

Israel's existence is an 'insult to all humanity', Iran's president has said in one of his sharpest attacks yet against the Jewish state, as Israel openly debates whether to attack Iran over its nuclear programme.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said confronting Israel was an effort to 'protect the dignity of all human beings'.
'The existence of the Zionist regime is an insult to all humanity,' the president said in an address to worshippers at Tehran University following nationwide pro-Palestinian rallies - an annual event marking Quds (Jerusalem) Day on the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Israel considers Iran an existential threat because of its nuclear and missile programmes, support for radical anti-Israel groups on its borders, and repeated references by Iranian leaders to Israel's destruction. Ahmadinejad himself has repeatedly made such calls, as has Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran has denied allegations that it is seeking to build nuclear weapons, saying its nuclear programme is peaceful and aimed at producing electricity and radioisotopes used to treat cancer patients.

Well, assuming their elections are fairer than ours which is almost a given he may actually be campaigning for the next election
After all simply being polite and playing by the rules is never going to make an impression on the West or Israel.

That's not "explosive rhetoric", that's just common sense. Israel is a terrorist theocratic garbage heap.
