Netanyahu is one of the worst of the Israeli war-mongers, constantly striving to deceive the American public about the so-called "threat" posed by Iran. Israel is the rogue state in the Middle East, launching murderous rampages against Lebanon in 2006 and Gaza in 2008-09. Israel's defense budget is double that of Iran, and Israel is a far greater threat to Iran, than the other way around. Ahmadinejad did not threaten to "wipe Israel from the map" as repeated so tiresomely in this article. He did say that Israel will cease to exist as a Jewish state, assuming it fails to create an independent Palestine, but this will happen through demographics and not by military intervention.
