Al Jazeera, STOP SPREADING THE LIES OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA. Ahmadinejad NEVER said that he will wipe off Israel from the Map. Read the article "The Importance of Cole v. Hitchens" from Huffington Post or GOOGLE IT!

As an Iranian, go to hell Aljazeera!!!!

You picked a few young Iranians whose families support the Iranian government, are rich, have had the god damn luxury of studying in the US or outside of Iran, go back to Iran and live their lavish lives while most of Iran's population is below poverty level!!! Then they say all these bad things about America and Israel like Iranians care about the Israeli-Palestinian crisis at all! Go to hell you fuck face Arabs and all you Arab loving whores!
