*Clip # 1222 - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: "Death to Israel"

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: I hereby declare that this sinister regime [Israel] is
the banner of Satan. It is the banner of the Great Satan. All it does is to
implement the orders of the criminal America and England. They think that
the peoples are the same as they were 100 years ago. They are not aware that
things have changed in the world. Today, all the peoples have awoken. The
Iranian people is the standard-bearer of this awakening for all the peoples.
As we can see, from the southernmost point in South America to the
easternmost point in Asia, all the people are shouting a single cry. With
placards in their hands and clenched fists, they shout: Death to Israel.

Crowd: Death to Israel.

Death to Israel.

*Clip # 1221 - Secretary of Iranian Expediency Council Mohsen Rezai: Israel
Should Expect Very Difficult Days in Tel Aviv and Beyond

Mohsen Rezai: I predict that Hizbullah will deal much more decisive blows
upon Israel. If Israel does not declare a cease-fire soon and does not end
the war, it should expect very difficult days in cities like Tel Aviv, and
even deeper inside Israel. I believe that if America and Israel use their
brains and end this war as soon as possible, they may save themselves from
many of the ramifications.
