In yet another verbal attack against Israel, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the Jewish state a "filthy bacteria" whose sole purpose was to oppress the other nations of the region.
"The world powers established this filthy bacteria, the Zionist regime, which is lashing out at the nations in the region like a wild beast," the Iranian president told supporters at a rally in southern Iran.
"[Israel] won support [from the other nations] which created it as a scarecrow, so as to keep the people of this area under control," Ahmadinejad said.
Referring to the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh, the Iranian leader said that Israel "uses terror as a threat every day, and afterwards is happy and joyful."
Meanwhile, the Israeli mission to the United Nations has written a letter of complaint to the UN Security Council, protesting recent remarks by two senior members of the Iranian regime threatening Israel.
Last week, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported that Commander-General Muhammad Ali Jafari of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps wrote in a letter to Hizbullah head Hassan Nasrallah that he was convinced "that Hizbullah's might is increasing with every passing day, and that in the near future, we will witness the disappearance of this cancerous growth called Israel."
Later that day, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran, Maj.-Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi, said in his own letter to Nasrallah that "the hero-breeding land of Lebanon... [would] nurture hundreds and thousands of such heroes... and that combatants of the Lebanese and Palestinian Islamic resistance [would] continue the struggle until the complete destruction of the Zionist regime and liberation of the entire Islamic land of Palestine."
The letter from the Israeli mission - written Tuesday at the request of the Foreign Ministry - to Security Council President Ricardo Alberto Arias, calls on the international community to condemn "these outrageous anti-Israel, anti-Semitic and racist threats, which undoubtedly constitute direct and public incitement to commit genocide."
Ambassador Dan Gillerman said the Iranian officials' letters represented "anti-Israel rhetoric and racism of the worst kind."
He called the Iranian rhetoric a "blatant violation" of the United Nations Charter. Furthermore, the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide is explicit in its demand for states to punish and prosecute those that carry out "direct and public incitement to commit genocide," wrote Gillerman.
The letter does not ask the Security Council to issue a statement, because similar instances in the past have failed to round up the necessary 15-member consensus.
"This still doesn't diminish the importance of the complaint," Deputy UN Ambassador Daniel Carmon told The Jerusalem Post. "The name of the game in this organization is texts, speeches, letters and documents circulated as a way for people to express themselves. We feel that every time there is something [unusual] - a terrorist attack, or a dangerous expression - we put it on record."
While the letter does not call for a statement by the Security Council, it expresses a demand that the international community condemn the Iranian officials' rhetoric, said Carmon. "How will they do it? I don't know," he said.
Yeah? Well, it takes one to know one. Nanny, nanny, boo, boo!
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Wednesday called Israel a “dirty microbe” and “savage animal”, as Iran stepped up its rhetoric against the Jewish state after the murder of a top Hezbollah commander.
“World powers have created a black and dirty microbe named the Zionist regime and have unleashed it like a savage animal on the nations of the region,” Ahmadinejad told a rally in the southern city of Bandar Abbas
They (Israel) assassinate pure and pious people and then they celebrate it, like what happened to the son of Lebanon who had stood against the savage onslaught of the Zionists and broke the Zionists’ horns,” said Ahmadinejad.

Iran’s embassy in Riyadh meanwhile vehemently denied reports in the Saudi press that Mughnieh had been travelling around the world on an Iranian diplomatic passport, the state-run IRNA news agency reported.
Mughnieh was suspected of masterminding the abduction of Western hostages in Lebanon in the 1980s and of the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires that killed 29 people.
He was also linked to the bombing of the US marine barracks at Beirut airport in 1983, in which 241 American servicemen died and the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in 1985, in which a US navy diver was killed.
What is to stop these barbaric killers from getting papers from any number of nations and come in the USA as ‘guest workers’?
Calling them monkeys and pigs didn’t work.
He, and his culture, don’t know the difference between sticks, stones, and words—yet.
What’s to stop them from walking across a virtually unprotected northern or southern border without papers?
It is time for the UN to join the ranks of the League of Nations
Nothing, but NO papers would cause them problems in either country north or south of the border.
True.
Again, nut job...you see in others what you MOST NEED TO SEE IN YOURSELF!
Those poor people in Iran...--the normal everyday citizens--...we know how you feel. We had Bill Clinton speaking for us for a long time, too.
As said by an Islamic virus.
Julius Striecher must be smiling from Hell at Pres. Imadinnahjacket.
Most excellent graphic!!!
