Ahmadinejad called Zionism a tool for imposing Israeli regional hegemony. He's right. Zionism isn't Judaism. Longstanding Israeli policy calls for for dividing, controlling, and at times waging war to achieve it.
He said the "existence of the Zionist regime is an insult to all humanity." Destructive policies harm everyone. Jews aren't exempt.
Ahmadinejad criticized Israeli policy, not Judaism. He doesn't advocate "wip(ing Israel) off the map." He called its agenda self-destructive. Many others agree. Living by the sword assures dying by it.
Israel is a modern-day Sparta. Confronting over cooperation is lose, lose. Wars make enemies, not allies or solutions. Western double standards fuel conflicts. Ahmadinejad's "New Middle East" excludes US/Zionist influence. Achieving peace depends on it.
