What Part Of "Erase" Don't You Understand?

TEHRAN — Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki called on the world's
Muslims on Sunday to work to "erase" Israel, in the latest verbal attack by
Tehran against the Jewish state.

"As the Imam Khomeini said, if each Muslim throws a bucket of water on
Israel, Israel will be erased," Mottaki told a conference in Tehran, recalling a
saying by Iran's late revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sparked international outrage for his
repeated attacks against Israel, which he has predicted is doomed to disappear
and described as a "stinking corpse" and a "dead rat".

His most notorious attack was in 2005 when he repeated another saying from
Khomeini calling for Israel to be "wiped from the map".

Mottaki added: "More than ever, the Zionist regime is disintegrating from
within. Today, the Islamic resistance in this region has shattered the regime's
legend of invincibility."
