Upon arriving in Italy Ahmadinejad immediately began attacking the Zionists!
YNET News reported:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in Rome on Tuesday to attend the United Nations summit on global food security.
Ahmadinejad was quick to attack Israel upon his arrival, saying Europe was bearing the economic and political costs of the “false Zionist regime.”
“I do not believe that my declarations create problems,” Ahmadinejad told summit goers via an interpreter. “People like my comments, because this way the public can save themselves from the imposition of the Zionists.
“European peoples have suffered the greatest damage from Zionists and today the costs of this false regime, be they political or economic costs, are on Europe’s shoulders,” he said.
Italian public television, RAI, reported that the Iranian president’s name was dropped from the summit’s closing gala event guest list, which will be hosted by Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
