Iran president raps Baby Killer Israel expansionism, warmongering

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has decried Israel’s “expansionist and warmongering” policies, saying the occupation of Palestine has resulted in various regional crises over the past decades.

“The expansionist, warmongering and inhumane policies of the fake and occupying Zionist regime [of Israel] have led to the continuation of instability and unrest in the region,” Ahmadinejad said in a message to the UN General Assembly on Thursday.

The impositions of five wars on regional nations, killing and imprisoning tens of thousands of people and displacing millions of others as well as the recent brutal assault on the Gaza Strip are clear indications of the nature and mission of the uncultured Zionists, he added.

The international community’s inability to resolve the Palestinian issue due to discriminatory and unilateral policies of certain UN Security Council members has also intensified the crisis and endangered global peace and security, the Iranian chief executive pointed out.

Ahmadinejad voiced the Iranian nation’s solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people, saying Iranians would continue to provide them with spiritual support.

It is obvious that holding democratic elections with participation of all Palestinians, including Muslims, Christians and the Jews, would be the best solution to the Palestinian issue, he said.

The Iranian president urged the international community and the United Nations in particular to play a “leading, effective and legal” role in settling the Palestinian issue and putting an end to its occupation.

“The era of Zionism and occupation has undoubtedly come to an end. The future belongs to the great Palestinian nation and other free nations,” he concluded.

On Thursday, the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to upgrade Palestine’s status at the UN from “observer entity” to “observer non-member state”, inflicting a major diplomatic defeat on the United States and Israel.

The 193-member assembly voted 138-9 with 41 abstentions at the UN headquarters in New York for a resolution approving the upgrade. Nine countries, including Canada, Israel, and the US, voted against it.
