The statement is likely in reference to comments about the “Zionist regime” made by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during Friday prayers at Tehran University last week.
The Associated Free Press quotes him saying (Farsi video clip here):
This is his Palestine related statement:
The Iranian president’s comments are meant to be inflammatory and his holocaust-related remarks are odious and despicable, but AIPAC is arguing that people shouldn’t support a Palestinian state simply because Iran does. That the bid for their own state is an independent Palestinian initiative decades in the making is apparently not worth considering.
Here’s the link to the section on AIPAC’s website urging members to lobby U.S. congress to oppose the bid at the U.N.
