Ahmadinejad: "The existence of the Zionist regime is an insult to the dignity of the human being"

Denouncing the Annapolis Summit is a big current theme in the Iranian press. From IRIB:
No injury deeper than the Palestinian tragedy has ever hurt the body of the world of Islam, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a gathering of the members of the Basij Organization on Sunday.

"The Zionist regime has been committing crimes and murders in Palestine over the past sixty years," Ahmadinejad added, adding that the global arrogance had been trying in the past sixty years to deprive the oppressed Palestinian nation from its rights.

"They have designed a new plot now to further abuse the issue," Ahmadinejad said in reference to the Annapolis confab in the United States.

Ahmadinejad underlined a growing inclination on the part of the Palestinian people towards the option of resistance, adding that the coming to power of revolutionary and uncompromising figures in the latest Palestinian elections was proof to that argument.

"Following the elections (when Hamas was voted into office), Zionist regime's supporters have carried out many seditions," the President said, warning that the advocates of the regime want to wring concessions in favor of the criminal Zionists through the Annapolis confab.

The President reprimanded the invitees to the so-called 'peace' confab for their positive response, calling it repetition of failure.

"They have participarted in such confabs during the past sixty years, but they haven't achieved any result," Ahmadinejad said.

"These kinds of confabs are only in favor of the Zionist regime," the President said.

Ahmadinejad regretted that the Annapolis confab is set to be held in a country that is the base and supporter of the Zionists.

"The Palestinian nation is alive and awakened and will never ignore its rights," the President underlined.

Ahmadinejad noted that none of those who were to take part in the confab are representing the Palestinian nation.

Ahmadinejad then recalled the Zionist regime's weak conditions, saying "the regime is going downward."

"The existence of the Zionist regime is an insult to the dignity of the human being," he said, adding "those who take part in such confabs as the Annapolis meeting will leave no good records in history."
There's more where that came from:

IRNA: "Ahmadinejad: Annapolis conference not beneficial to Palestinians" [This one actually moves on rather quickly to the nuclear issue]:
He said enemies and opponents of the Iranian nation had made some wrong decisions based on false information and raised charges against the Iranian nation.

"The time has come for you to be courageous and accept your mistake. The Iranian nation is great and will forgive you," he said.

Press TV: "Hamas: Annapolis confab a mirage"

Fars: "Ahmadinejad Warns Participants in Mideast Peace Conference":
"They (the US and Israel) intend to deceive a bunch of people who are like themselves in a watery conference and make them give concessions to the criminal Zionists," Ahmadinejad said.
