Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Israel's establishment was "a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world".
"As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map," he added, referring to Iran's late revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini (Al Jazeera)
France, Spain, Britain, Canada, and Australia have all condemned this statement. France, Spain, and Britain have said they will demand an explanation.
Responding to Ahmadinejad's comments, French Foreign Minister Phillippe Douste-Blazy said in a statement that "if these (reported) comments are true, they are unacceptable. I condemn them with the greatest firmness."
At the United Nations, the United States ambassador, John R. Bolton, labeled the comments "pernicious and unacceptable."
This comment is the freedom for him to say, but this is NOT right. If Iran has a problem with Israel, then they need to take a pro-active approach, not to call for total destruction.
