«The dignity, integrity and rights of the American and European people are being played with by a small but deceitful number of people called Zionists. Although they are miniscule minority, they have been dominating an important portion of the financial and monetary centers as well as the political decision-making centers of some European countries and the US in a deceitful, complex and furtive manner. It is deeply disasterous to witness that some presidential or premiere nominees in some big countries have to visit these people, take part in their gatherings, swear their allegiance and commitment to their interests in order to attain financial or media support.»

«This means that the great people of America and various nations of Europe need to obey the demands and wishes of a small number of acquisitive and invasive people. These nations are spending their dignity and resources on the crimes and occupations and the threats of the Zionist network against their will.»

«The repugnant ideas and prejudiced sentiment asserted by President Ahmadinejad must not go unanswered,» Mr. Foxman said in a letter to the Secretary-General. «We ask you to speak out against his vile words and denounce his outrageous claims and abuse of the U.N. platform.»
