5. Quoting Iran's rights under UN Charter? What about Israel's?
Samuel Prime ,   Canada   (09.10.08)
The Iranians are digging themselves in a hole doing that since they're accusing Israel of a matter much more trivial than their threats to annihilate Israel as a nation---a crime under the genocide code. If Israel could abduct Ahmadinejad, he should be put on trial right away, perhaps even twice: in Israel and the Hague.
6. In which law,
Daniel ,   ISRAEL   (09.10.08)
direct threats "to destroy Israel" by Ahmadinejad fits in?
7. is poor little ahmadinjad scared of big bad Israelis
zionist forever   (09.10.08)
An ex Mossad agent makes a comment that everybody knows will never happen and the Iranians are up in arms demanding the UN does something. Every other day allmost Iran threatens to destroy Israel or says it will soon come to an end. Iranians are very sensetive and that nasty Israeli Rafi Eitan hurt their feelings.
8. who is less sane?
Pete ,   Bat Yam   (09.10.08)
the raving lunatic Achmadsheetheadinajacket or the senile alzheimer patient alter kaker Eitan? Both need to be locked away one in a padded cell in a straight jacket and one in an old age home
9. Every week, A-jad & Co. threaten to destroy Israel
Laura ,   Israel   (09.10.08)
A-jad and his cronies announce, very loudly and very consistently that they intend to wipe Israel off the map by whatever means. Iran's proxies proclaim just as loudly their intention to kidnap Israelis and use violence and terror to attack us. (Why else would they have 40,000 missiles smuggled in under the noses of the useless UNIFIL?) There is no instance when any Israeli official has proclaimed the total destruction of Iran and its people. It is a fact that Israel honors the people of Iran, but not its terrorist leaders who are bent on committing Holocaust II. Where does the UN stand on that? They have NEVER admonished the Iranian regive for its genocidal statements of intent. The fact that Ban Ki-Moon has been swayed by the Iran-backed Hizbonazi government in Lebanon to demand $1 billion from Israel for damages during the 2006 war - an absurd and outrageous demand considering that the war was started by the Hizbonazis and aimed almost entirely at Israel's northern civilian population. The UN doesn't have a moral leg to stand on and, at this point, no right to judge.
10. PLEASE ATTACK IRAN: IF ONLY TO SHUT THIS CRETIN DOWN

11. He's a coward.
Kev ,   London   (09.10.08)
He's afraid that what happened to Imad Mugniyah will happen to him.
12. Iran has no international law, its an Islamic dictatorship
Zion   (09.10.08)
13. The UN
lawrence ,   Philadelphia, USA   (09.10.08)
As stupid as it is, the UN, will probally condem Israel for threating Iran . Threats against the US and Israel are OK according to the UN but Not to islamic facists. How dare Israel respond in kind. (Hint - that last statement was sarcasism.)
14. Funny ain't it?
Talula ,   Israel   (09.10.08)
Everyday he threatens to wipe us off the planet, but say one thing...... HA HA HA HA HA HA what a misfit loser of monkey.
15. The Sword Cuts Both Ways
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (09.10.08)
Iran kidnapping British sailors in international waters is apparently ok. No condemnation by the world, least of all, the UN. Mossad kidnapping Ahmadinejad and putting him on trial for threatening the existence of a nation...If this hypothetical statement on the ministerial level becomes the only offense worthy of UN condemnation, it will further marginalize what's already a farcical body of blowhards.
16. ahmadinejad
alexi   (09.10.08)
mahmoud, you will be kidnapped. Say goodbye to fatima.Say goodbye to your children. You will be educated in judaism and have to attend to synagogue. No mosque for you. You will eat jewish food. You must stop saying one word against israel or we will continue planning to kidnap you.
17. The new definition of chutzpah.
Allan ,   US   (09.10.08)
18. Iran's demand
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (09.10.08)
True, Iran's president threatens "Israel", admittedly, perhaps with somewhat pungent rhetoric. But bear in mind that Iran has long existed licitly, whereas "Israel" exists at best on world sufferance, and more realistically, illicitly. Thus, Iran, trying to right a 60-year wrong, has every right and reason to make threatening statements, and we need to acknowledge that this is legitimately not a two-way street.
19. Ahmadino, the Jews, an the UN
chop-chop   (09.10.08)
AGAIN ??? The Iranian shrimp, as compared to Hezbo's fat slob, is complaining to the UN regarding Israel "uncivilized' behavior. And now he is forced to work 3 shifts (24 hrs-no coffee break) in order to produce another 12 submarines,2 dz. long range missiles, 6 3/4 dz. med. size rokets,,3 tanks, a cruiser and a aircraft carrier (Truman class).....It's a back braking job. I got inside information (2nd hand) that he is looking to recruit Israeli scientists in order to improve the quality of his "toys",and to borrow one or two Generals. Very generous 10 tear contract plus fabulous perks. In exchange, he will send us 1307 barrels of oil daily. Is it a good deal? as I am not an expert in black gold
20. # 18 graczek
Robert Mcgarrah ,   Hurst USA   (09.10.08)
I don't know where your from, but you should go back. Isreal and the Jews have been in the middle east much longer than 60 years.
21. Doesn't make sense
Chris ,   UK   (09.10.08)
It's a bit silly really. If he believes that Iran is so tough that it can easily handle Israel, and wipe it out completely, why does he care? Anyway, surely he wants chaos to ensue, to conjour up Imam Mahdi?
