JERUSALEM, July 30 (Reuters) - Israeli President Shimon Peres, in a radio interview on Monday, called Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a "joke" and said he appeared to worship "the bomb more than he's worshipping the God in heaven".
Whilst Reuters continues to use the now discredited 'statement' by Ahmadinejad: "Ahmadinejad has said Israel should be "wiped off the map" and recently forecast the destruction of the Jewish state. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said recently that a country with such an attitude must never be allowed to develop nuclear arms. Peres said Ahmadinejad was "an unbelievable joke", adding the Iranian president "claims he's religious"." http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L30813486.htm
