Israel to go the way of the Soviet Union

Irans' president, Ahmadinejad, has been accused of genocidal ambitions for his stance on Israel but here, according to ABC4 he offers some clarification:

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's President, said, "I want to tell the western countries just as the Soviet Union was wiped out and today does not exist, so will the Zionist regime soon be wiped out."

Ah see, just like the Soviet Union. Was that genocide? Pity he said what he did against the backdrop of a conference to promote holocaust denial. Still, nothing wrong with Israel going the way of the Soviet Union.
