TEHRAN — Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki called on the world's Muslims on Sunday to work to "erase" Israel, in the latest verbal attack by Tehran against the Jewish state.
"As the Imam Khomeini said, if each Muslim throws a bucket of water on Israel, Israel will be erased," Mottaki told a conference in Tehran, recalling a saying by Iran's late revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sparked international outrage for his repeated attacks against Israel, which he has predicted is doomed to disappear and described as a "stinking corpse" and a "dead rat".
His most notorious attack was in 2005 when he repeated another saying from Khomeini calling for Israel to be "wiped from the map".
Mottaki added: "More than ever, the Zionist regime is disintegrating from within. Today, the Islamic resistance in this region has shattered the regime's legend of invincibility."
While Ahmadinejad and top military commanders reguarly predict the demise of Israel, such virulent attacks from the foreign ministry are relatively unusual.
Iran vehemently denies charges of anti-Semitism, pointing to the continued existence in the country of the largest Jewish community in the Middle East outside Israel and saying it is only against Zionism.
Tensions between Iran and Israel have also intensified in the past year over the Iranian nuclear drive.
Israel, the Middle East's sole if undeclared atomic arms power, accuses Iran of seeking a nuclear weapon and, along with its chief ally the United States, has never explicitly ruled out a military attack against the Islamic republic.
But Iran, which does not recognise Israel, insists that its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful and aimed solely at generating energy for a growing population.

Hey, Obama, go talk to them, will ya? Maybe you can get them to agree to erasing only half. /UltraMegaGigaDrippingSarc
Pay attention, kids, we’re next.....
Israel ain't made of sugar.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has described Israel as a "stinking corpse" and a "dead rat".
He was misquoted. Actually he was describing himself and his wife.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a vid of this Mottaki guy speaking at Trinity pops up.
LOL!
He’s probably interviewing this wackjob as a possible running mate.
This is easy......we invite every Jew to America and then nuke the entire region. Win/win!

Please don’t forget my fellow Christians...
Our future President wants to have tea and cookies with Iran and see how we can appease them so that we get really comfortable with our Muzzie friends. We need to ask Mr. Obama about what his new church is going to be. My guess its a Mosque.
Pelosi’s non-existent political expertise is taking care of everything. She and her Liberal cohorts in Congress have cases of “white surrender flags” ready for all our enemies intent on destroying Israel and the United States.
Bush, Cheney and Rice are so stupid not to understand that the Iranians just want to vent their hurt feelings and play nice in the sandbox
No, why should any Jew be forced off their land?
With all the mosques popping up in the dark of night in the US, Osama Hussein Obama will have his pick of mosques where they’re already plotting against us. Clueless Americans better wake up or it will be 1933 Germany all over again with a Muslim radical twist.

It’s time for a NGO to form a covert mercenary army and start killing these a$$holes.
