Report: Ahmadinejad Calls Israel a ‘Stinking Corpse’ on its 60th Birthday

Thursday, May 08, 2008

It’s Israel’s party but Iran's president will apparently mock it if he wants to.

While world leaders sent the Jewish state congratulations on its 60th anniversary, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's birthday wish was that the “Zionist regime” be annihilated, according to the Agence France-Presse.

"Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken," Ahmadinejad told the official IRNA news agency.

He went on to compare Israel to a “dead rat after being slapped by the Lebanese,” making reference to a 2006 war between the Jewish state and Hezbollah, the AFP reported.
