Ahmadinejad says Israel has 'no roots' in Middle East

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad didn't need to make it to a UN podium to make news after coming to New York for the world body's General Assembly, telling reporters Israel has "no roots" in the Middle East and that Iran doesn't take the threat of an Israeli attack seriously.

The comments came a day after UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met with Ahmadinejad to warn him about the potentially harmful consequences of inflammatory rhetoric "from various countries in the Middle East" and "the grave regional implications of the worsening situation in Syria and underlined the devastating humanitarian impact," U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said.

Ahmadinejad said Iran has been around for thousands of years, Reuters reports, but Israel has existed for only 60 or 70.

"They (Israel) have no roots there in history," Ahmadinejad added. "They do not even enter the equation for Iran."

Israel is believed to be considering a pre-emptive strike to take out Iran's burgeoning nuclear weapons capabilities, but Ahmadinejad scoffed at the prospect of an attack on his country.

"Fundamentally we do not take seriously the threats of the Zionists," he said. "We have all the defensive means at our disposal and we are ready to defend ourselves."

The White House condemned the Ahmadinejad's comments Monday afternoon.

"President Ahmadinejad's comments are characteristically disgusting, offensive, and outrageous," said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor. "They underscore again why America's commitment to the security of Israel must be unshakeable, and why the world must hold Iran accountable for its utter failure to meet its obligations."

what a complete Idiot, he speaks great blasphemies.

Israel is found in the begining of the world in the bible long before Iran was in exsistance, but this type of stupidity is to be expected from a Middle eastern leader.

Theres a reason they still ride camels and have sexual relations with goats.

Sadly "you're" the complete idiot here.

Did it ever occur to you that when he says they've no roots there,he means "THEY" are'nt from the Region,they are'nt the TRUE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,hence they as being no more than whats commonly called caucasians have origins elsewhere on the planet,and not where they claim to be from.

oh bologna, you dont even know what your talking about. Israel is Israel and they are descendents of the original jewish people from that area. Almadinajerk is full of great blasphemys and the world believes every word he says, of course the exception being the majority of the Christian and Jewish population in the world, including catholics, so really every time he speaks, he just looks more and more stupid in our eyes.

Good night all.

God Bless.

Does that 3ft sand negroid ever shut his mouth?

The Israel of the Bible is a people not a place.
Yes they were given land but it was taken away by G-d and only G-d is to return it. YES IN ADDITION TO RETURNING LEBANON, SAUDI ARABIA, IRAN and much more to Israel....

If Israel was founded in the beginning of the world.....Prove it!

There is NOTHING in the BIBLE that states that Israel was founded in the beginning of the world.

And you have the gall to call him stupid. I guess you should get a trophy if you could figure out how to have sexual relations without choking yourself and your other half!

Attack by Iran's Ahmadinejad sparks Israel walkout

Iran's president called Israel a nuclear-armed "fake regime" shielded by the United States, prompting Israel's U.N. ambassador to walk out of a high-level U.N. meeting Monday promoting the rule of law.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also accused the U.S. and others of misusing freedom of speech and failing to speak out against the defamation of people's beliefs and "divine prophets," an apparent reference to the recently circulated amateur video made in the U.S. which attacks Islam and denigrates the Prophet Muhammad.

The Iranian leader, who has called for Israel's destruction, used his speech to denounce Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory and U.S. vetoes in the U.N. Security Council to back its ally. He urged all nations to "hold occupiers accountable and make efforts to return the occupied territories to their rightful owners."

Ahmadinejad blamed the "discriminatory" veto power of the U.S., China, Russia, Britain and France for the Security Council's failure to ensure peace in the world, and he called for a change in the rules "in favor of nations with due regard to justice."

As Ahmadinejad addressed leaders and ministers from more than 100 countries, Israel's U.N. Ambassador Ron Prosor walked out of the General Assembly hall.

"Ahmadinejad showed again that he not only threatens the future of the Jewish people, he seeks to erase our past," Prosor said in a statement.
