Ahmadinejad: I'm not anti-Semitic, I'm against 'Zionist regime'

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insists he is not an anti-Semite and is merely opposed to the “Zionist government”.

Ahmadinejad, who is notorious for his calls for Israel to be wiped off the map and for his Holocaust denial while in office, made the comments in an interview with Samuel Thrope, a Jewish writer with The Nation.
