TEHERAN, Iran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad branded Israel a cancer cell that must be removed on Sunday, after Israeli gunfire killed 13 people and wounded hundreds as Palestinians marched in a mass show of mourning over the creation of the Jewish state.
"On the anniversary of this regime, people demonstrated in various places, but there were dead and wounded and this regime once again showed its real nature," he said in a television interview.
"Like a cancer cell that spreads through the body, this regime infects any region. It must be removed from the body," he added.
