ben ,   singapore   (06.21.07)
Your TIME has come. the mordechais prayer has taken effect long ago, you will fall into the trench that you dug for the Children of Yisrael.Divine Justice Ahmadinejad, DIVINE JUSTICE ! You will soon start eating GRASS like NEBU !
3. Well, it's about damn' time!!!
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (06.21.07)
4. Genocide?
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (06.21.07)
I didn't hear that Ahmedinejad said to kill any Jews or any other people. He said wipe Israel off the map, but that could be done without killing anybody. The term "genocide" hardly applies in that case. If somebody has verified instances of him advocating annihilating all Jews, I'd like to have the references. Other than genuine genocide like that, this attack on Ahmedinejad for "genocide" cheapens the Shoah, which was genuine genocide. Don't throw the term around loosely. .
5. UN Security Council would
john ,   nz   (06.21.07)
slap Ahmedijerk wrist and say, "Bad Boy, don't say that again, OK?"
6. Think the UN cares?
J K ,   NYC, USA   (06.21.07)
The UN Human Rights Committee (?), set in place to replace the older commission that singled out Israel from everyting to being the worst abusers on the face of the earth to replacing the old Coke with new Coke is up to its old tricks. Think the UN could give a crap? Sure...about the next anti-Israel resolution perhaps.
7. FYI: These congressmen voted against the bill
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (06.21.07)
Kucinich (d) and Paul (r) (both running for president). These congressmen voted by saying "present" (i.e., we dont support but dont have the guts to say it): Abercrombie, Baldwin, Blumenauer, DeFazio, Gilchrest Hinchey, Jones (NC), McDermott, Miller George, Stark, Wu.
8. About time Congress took a stand on this psycho freak!
Adam ,   USA   (06.21.07)
They should have voted for this a long time ago and should now press President Bush to press the U.S.'s U.N. envoy to push for indictment of Ahmadinejad ASAP and put him on public trial!
9. and what is the UN's response?

10. Finally someone calls Ahmadinejad by his real name!
Sabientje   (06.21.07)
It's about this blood-thirsty, Jew-hater, Ahmadinejad face the world forum of nations and be punished for his statements calling for the destructuon of Israel. Thank you US Congress members for having the gut to call this monkey by his real name: Murderer
11. something has to be made before it is too late; jail him to
(06.21.07)
secure a constant flow of his statements.
12. Sadly, war looks certain
Juan ,   Spain   (06.21.07)
This is OK. However, it is a symptom of worsening relations in the whole ME area. Gaza + Hamas = more rockets. Lebanon fired off some a couple of days back. Syria are talking peace and war in the same breath. The Arab league are pressuring Israel to accept their plan. Doesn't look good does it? The God of Abraham will have the last say.
13. what is next?
Vorax ,   UK   (06.21.07)
..those who openly call for genocide of Jews.. ..those who sponsor terrorist organizations.. ..those who violate human rights, oppressing women, gay people and minorities.. ..those who violate international law on nuclear non-proliferation.. (another 3 resolutions please).. ..then ultimatum.. ..then.. yeah..
14. wonderful!
(06.21.07)
a verbal criminal! should be kicked out of the united nation and should be isolated completely from all civilized nations of the world. then, institutionalize him because he is absolutely mad. clinically mad!
15. Really?
tom ,   bsas,argentina   (06.21.07)
Wow I DID NOT KNOW THAT! thank you! You Iranian terrorists will pay for Israeli Embassy in 1992 bombing and 1994 AMIA bombing here in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Long Live Israel

21. NOT IN MY NAME
Yusef ,   CA, USA   (06.21.07)
I'm American, I vote, and I do not support this line of action.
22. RE;#4 Your statement is perplexing.
Bartley Kulp ,   Safed, Israel   (06.21.07)
How do you wipe a country off of the map without physical annihilation. Even Germany(what they tried to do to the Jews is a different story) did not describe their conquests of other countries as wiping them off the map. You could say that Mt. Vesuvius wiped ancient Naples of of the map. The Geneva convention includes threats against a national entity (the state of Israel certainly qualifies for this), not just an ethnic one. Also saying that dissolving a national entity by amalgamation or some other legislative, would hardly describe it as wiping it off of the map.
23. #21
(06.21.07)
since you are a small minded arab who has come to this country to "escape totalitarian islam", who cares what you think. here in this country we deal with people that are contributors and decent. do you fit this category? i doubt it. return to the hole you left.
24. A Myriad Israeli Ahmadinejads. Yes.
Jude Barlow ,   Perth, Australia   (06.21.07)
"Former chief rabbi Mordechai Eliahu has called for returning fire on [Gaza] homes; Minister of Pensioner Affairs Rafi Eitan has proposed that Israel manufacture a domestic version of the Qassam and launch it on Gaza; Public Security Minister Avi Dichter has said that targeted assassinations are not enough; his successor at the Shin Bet security service, Yuval Diskin, has complained that "in Beit Lahiya and in Beit Hanoun they are living in tranquility;" our old acquaintance Lieberman has proposed a hit on the quarter where Gaza City's well-off reside for every hit on Sderot; Major General (Res.) Amiram Levin has called for dividing the Gaza Strip into squares, and after every Qassam destroying one; former justice minister Yosef Lapid supported this proposal; former chief of staff Moshe Ya'alon, the progenitor of the theory of "consciousness-searing," has proposed "cleansing the territory;" Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal has said that he prefers "a dead child in Gaza to a dead child in Sderot," and a bereaved father from the Second Lebanon War, Ami Schreier, has called for the wiping out of a neighborhood in Gaza, with advance warning of three hours, for every Qassam. Not one of them has been castigated for his words, not one of them shunned." This is what Israeli public leadership looks like. That is its moral portrait, at least according to Gideon Levy, one of Israel's last moral consiouses.
25. 21 Then Yusef, you need to know what being
freedom ,   canada   (06.21.07)
an American is all about. Only then will you understand why America does not like the actions of the Iran regime.
26. Ahma-DIN-ajad
did   (06.21.07)
Your own DIN (trial) wll soon come. Just be patient and you will see who is going to be wiped off. You have long exceeded the limits of political dispute, of civilized discourse. You demand the outright destruction of a democratic nation. Those who do so will have to pay, in an international court. Question is, have you got the guts to show up ? I didn't think so.
27. 23,speak only for your democrazy; he's protected by true one
(06.21.07)
28. WHAT Is that ALL?
Cy ,   Reading, Berks   (06.21.07)
AhMADinejad and his friends have more than THAT to answer for. 1. For causing mayhem, death and destruction in Lebanon 2. For causing mayhem, death and destruction in Iraq 3. For causing mayhem, death and destruction in Gaza 4. For causing mayhem, death and destruction in Saudi Arabia 5. For causing mayhem, death and destruction in Afghanistan 6. For creating one of the most vile police states in Iran on earth 7. For trying to create instability in Bahrein, Emirates, Kuwait, Yemen, Sudan, Jordan, Egypt and Turkey As for Russia, China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, South Africa and Japan who have stayed quietly on the sidelines regarding Iran - make no mistake. Should that madman get hold of nuclear weapons WE WILL ALL PAY. Our economies, our hard won prosperity, our freedoms our destiny maybe even our lives and NOT JUST THE USA AND THE WEST.. I find it bizarre that these countries feel that they can permit a mentally deficient man and his cohorts in Iran to hold the entire world to ransom in this way
29. resolution
none of your busines   (06.21.07)
