Damn! He is smart. Farid Zakaria became so little in front of this man of logic and reason.

I love Ahmadinejad. Loved his people. Humble without being a pushover, highly intelligent, honest, straight forward.

Because Zakaria got desroyed by truth and logic.

Wow, yea they didn't show the most important part of this. He tells him that the Jews that are there are not the Jews but are immigrants which is key!

Ahmadinejad u are great....

Still my favourite politician of all time. Humility. Logic. Reasoning. Compassion. Intelligence. Quick wit. Sarcasm. I mean I could go on & on. This man is one of the most brilliant people to ever walk this Earth.

Wow great answer brother ! Thank you professor Ahmadinejad

Let me guess, [Israel question] ...AGAIN?!?!?

Absolutely body slammed the reporter. Amazing!

Great answer from wise man!

Where can I see the full interview? Why CNN only shows parts of it?

I dont care about Religion. BUT this Human Ahmadinejad are telling logical und true things.

Fareed Zakaria only quoted part of the Qur'an & took it out of the context. He (conveniently) failed to mention the rest of the story where the followers of Prophet Moses(pbuh) betray him by worshiping the golden calf in his absence therefore God banishes them people to diaspora.

oh i definitely agree with you there.

I love how zakaria tries to be clever by referencing the holy Quran to promote his agenda, i hope any1 watching this video takes the effort to go and look up the reference and see the statement in context, not ignoring the verse before and after...yes indeed the jews have the right to dwell in palestine but they must be humble and not seek to overtake that land. Out of context quoting is an elementary school error. Jews are different to zionist, Judaism is a religion, zionism is nationalism!!!!!

He's very technical.

+ My point is that there is no evidence/ moral or legal justification for such a state...and even regarding the ancient israel, the qs would still be as vivid as before, as how was the original israel formed....If U had watched the video, it would've given U a very clear explanation....

One possible interpretation of what Mr. Ahmadinejad said is whoever he considers a "Zionest" is not a Jew and therefore has no connection to the Middle East. This brings to mind Golda Meir's reasoning that the Palestinians are just Arabs and they can be absorbed by other Arab countries. They both use the same tactics. Relabel your enemy and then deny their connection to the disputed land.

just search for ahmadinjead interview Zakaria and you will find it

zkarias, did you know that the first person who said to the Jews, "Go back to your homes," was an Arab poet before Islam

1:54 of Kindy class.

"arabs deserve praise/respect"....by god our world is a joke, if this is what respect looks like, i hope no one, or any race ever experiences such invaluable praise or respect.......

every act of aggression has a reason/motivation..youre talking abt the symptoms of the disease...67 died, but 435 jews were saved by many arab famillys..so to focus on specific events, no one is infallible, crimes have been on both sides, but we must address the wholeistic argument, as this wholeistic image will be ignored when focusing on specifics! Every action has an opposite reaction..we must ask why were arabs so angry at the time?..when they had lived with jews in peace for 1000s of yrs?

The reporter asked a ridiculous question. Obviously Jews have existed for a long time in that region. As Mr. Ahmadinejad rightly pointed out, Zionism and the state of Israel and the actual physical concept of Zionism is only a thing that has existed for a short period of time.

Wait why is his face buggin

see, an arms embargo on israel?? no, lets rephrase so u dont select history for your own argument,..it was an arms embargo on the whole region, and for a very good reason..but not to say the US didn't support israel..rather the pro israeli/jewish policy of Trauman was always clear..the immediate recognition of israel, and the promotion of the partition are some examples.

it will be huge clash in poor and high class..all the money will go to those contries..I can't believe those director with money who produce show that time still alive..

the idea that one describes one self as a jew was not true in the past...we have iranian jews, arab jews,..as the original people of Judaism were Palestinians, in fact prophet Jacob (israel) was a Palestinian sheppard living in palestine. so you see the land belongs to plaestinians, be they jewish in their faith, muslim or christian...the fact is the idea of a jewish state has no legitimacy whether morally as its based on occupation.....

im trying to have a civilized debate with you...hope you find in yourself to just watch a 10min video...and then draw up your own rational conclusions...take care.

show me the quote where prophet Moses himself tells the people of israel (meaning the children of Jacob and not a country) to "conquer the land and safeguard it from evil"! logic tells me that is a fabrication, as why would prophet Moses claim to safeguard palestine from Jesus christ and then prophet Mohammad (pbu all), when all of the main commandments of god are consistent in deeds/words of these prophets. surely evil would be secularism and atheism, something that rules over that land today!

Haha..you dont fool the world and a professor

ok, don't know what you mean by "safeguarding from evil", but im sure its not what moses (pbuh) meant, if he ever said such a thing. in iran there are more/older evidence of jewish culture/community, so does it mean iran should be a jewish state?! ur problem is you see jews as an ethnicity, rather than a religion by the people that lived in that area many 1000s of years ago. Jacob (pbuh) was a palestinian..that land belongs to the people that lived there, be they jewish,christian,muslim..

IRAN 🇮🇷. 👍💓 ISRAEL. 👎 ... SUA. 👎

Fareed doesn't even know the difference between surah and ayah

Here is the full interview /watch?v=u4fBQmq5KtQ Ahmedinejad swallowed and spat out Zakaria.No one can debate AHmedinejad.Ahmedinejad is FTW

zakaria is wrong on this one.Actually all western presidents are talking about the elimination of the mullahs islamic regime in iran.So why ahmedinejad cannot talk about the elimination of the zionist regime in israel?there is a difference between jews and sionists.If iran want to eliminate the jews,it would begin the jews living peacefully in iran.I love jews but i hate zionism racist ideology.

see, i am of the opinion that the seeds of prophet abrahim both deserve to live in that land, why cant they live in peace and as brothers...because the jews want to say, no its a jewish state, and the palestinians are only residents of this state...im telling you, there is no biblical justification for setting up a new jewish state..see jews can live there, but the idea that they take over the land by force is not courageous nor bravery....leaving several generations of refugees is not bravery!

are you disputing that the land now as the "USA" was not conquered by mass murder of the indians?..accepting your premise of the jewish ownership of palestine, im saying the american land belongs to the indians..r u disputing that?!..however, with regards to the jewish state, land..that is exactly what i am disputing. How does it belong to you..explain using your own scriptures?..Soleman, seeds of ibrahim, U might say?google videos: Ahmed Deedat - Did God Promise the Jews any Land?(only 10mins)

lol how can u say they didn't consider it their land?!.a silly idea!..."war"? there was no war in palestine, only when the british brought it flocks of european jews (including hardly any jewish decent), and gave them weapons whilst they were building settlements, all sponsored by them, biggest occupier of the time, did the palestinian people realise what mischief the west had planned, and rightly rose to defend their homes..village by village, their houses were demolished, men and boys killed..

.the original Israel, Explain How did You get that land?? it was also captured from Palestinians(peolpe that lived there), as they were conquered by the 12 united jewish tribes...so if by force that land was taken from its natives, in this case the palestinians, then they have every moral and legal right to take it back by force...what are you crying about!!!

see, that land belongs to both jews and arabs "full stop". if the arabs are welcome to be residents, why dont they allow the return of the plaestinian refugees?..countries and empires come and go, you cant go after 1000s of years and drag a guy out of his home, only to say this was mine when even your family roots don't stretch that far...that is ridiculous,..im iranian, for 1000s of yrs 99% of the region was part of persia, can i now claim iraq/turkey/ or even plaestine..NONSENSE!

tell me prophet Ibrahims(pbuh) ethnic origin?? plz don't say a jew, bec. u'll only embarrass yourself. oh and how is occupying a nation, driving the people out of their homes before destroying them, killing thousands of people in the process, is LEGAL or MORAL?? if ure secular then a "jewish state" is self defeating, nd "national self determination"well thats zionizm for u, something Moses whould've stood against..based on the torah, there is no backing for this idea, no matter how hard u try!!!

bigger hint i dont think you know what a zionist is if you think that

lol good, so ill give u time to respond to my other comments, most important of them all, about "conquer"....enjoy!

its very interesting how U suddenly speak on behalf of the native americans...they were forced out of their homes just like what the israelis did and continue to do to the palestinians..unless ure telling me the natives happily packed their bags and just immigrated. so no difference there! Hope you watched the video,..and i agree, because there is no theological backing of such a state, in fact it demands the contrary. yet the basis for the re-establishment of the state, was originally biblical!

Israel in the Quran not same as Israel now 🤣🤣and that happen before Islam maybe before, 20000 years and which land ?? we dont know
