I think the problem with supporting Ahmadinejad's statement regarding  
Israel is that he has openly expressed a fond wish that Israel be  
wiped off the map and every Jew exterminated from the face of the  
Earth.  Whether he makes a completely valid criticism of Israel after  
that or not, he's a terrible messenger.  It would be sort of like  
quoting Jeffrey Dahmer in a restaurant review.
