Actually, it is less likely to be anti-zionist anti-semetic foaming at the mouth crazy in English translation. Arafat was famous for the difference between what he said ( and caused to be translated ) in his English pronouncements and then then turn around and rave in Arabic in an entirely different vein. It is very unlikely Ahmedinijhad is being translated to make him sound more anti-Israeli.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
