According to the official translation:
"Following World War Two they resorted to military aggressions to make an entire nation homeless under the pretext of Jewish suffering.
And they sent migrants from Europe, the United States and other parts of the world in order to establish a totally racist government in the occupied Palestine.
And in fact, in compensation for the dire consequences of racism in Europe, they helped bring to power the most cruel and repressive racist regime in Palestine."
Can't see what's so "vile and hateful", "extremist" about this. "Unacceptable," I'll buy. Perpetrators of such behaviors always find it unacceptable to be confronted with their behavior. My understanding of history seems to coincide exactly with Ahmadinejad's description. Perhaps"pretext" implies it never happened. But it also means it is the "reason" used for the action. And the comprehensive ousting of Palestinians from their ancestral homes was certainly justified because of the holocaust. And did not people from all over the world go to Israel to build their new homeland? And does not Israel raze homes with tanks, make Palestinians carry special ID, isolate them into controlled areas they can only exit from through checkpoints...
...am I starting to sound vile and hateful now?
