what Ahmadinejad said was Israel as a country should be deleted from world maps that the country has no right to the name and it should be called Palestine, not Israel.
The Quran speaks of the children of Israel and that G-d told them to settle in the holy land. The Quran does not mention "Palestine" or "Palestinians".
The Quran might not be good enough for the pagan president of Iran, but it is for me.
"Palestine" was the name the pagan Roman empire gave to the region to erase its connection to G-d. Why "Muslims" insist on using the pagan rather than the Quranic name for the region is beyond me.
