I wish Ahmadinejad had not made the comments about Israel...

The comments being absolutely repulsive and unfortunate, I thought it would be wise to recall Khatami's approach to the sensitive issue of Israel. He had once "argued Iran should be no more radical over the Palestine-Israeli conflict than the Palestinians themselves". (Financial Times, Thursday, October 27 2005). Also, did you know that the current Israeli president, Moshe Katsav, and the defence minister, Shaul Mofaz, are Iranian in origin!
