Those who created Israel should “wrap it up and take it away,” Iran’s president said. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched his latest anti-Israel broadside last Friday, criticizing Israel’s strikes on the Gaza Strip. Israel is a “fabricated regime” Ahmadinejad said, according to Reuters, and its strikes on Gaza “showed that it cannot last. I think the only solution would be for those who created it to wrap it up and take it away.”
