There's your problem, you're not getting the quote right. If Iran had said that all Jews need to be wiped from the face of the earth, then I would agree with you as well. But the fact that he said Israel and leaves it at that, he is indicating a geopolitical issue, not an ethnic issue like you were suggesting. IMO Quebec should be wiped from the face of the earth as it would make Canada a much more peaceful place to live, but I don't wish that on Quebekers living there. I would like to see the political construct that is Quebec obliterated and have them conform to the standards outlined by the rest of Canada. It's a political statement, not a statement towards the people.
Here's a question that I think is at the root of this, and I've yet to get a resonable answer from anyone one the subject matter. Why should the Jews have a country homeland, when no other religion has the same need? Religion knows no political boundries, yet we make a special exception for the Jewish religion. Why?
