Iran's supreme leader said Friday it was illogical to say Iranians are friends with the Israeli people, seeking to end a controversy over Tehran's stance toward the Jewish state - it's biggest enemy in the region.
Actually, the originally statement, and what was cleared up by Iran's Supreme Leader today was, "Iran is a friend to Jews but not a friend to Zionists." But, as was the case with the "wiping Israel off the map" fabrication, mis-representing Iranian leaders makes better news print. However, given that Iran has a Jewish Parliamentarian and maintains the largest Jewish population in the region outside of Israel, the original statement is consistent with their actions and national policy.
