Despite the overall, toned-down nature of his words, there was one section in which he lambasted the “imposition of a fake government [and] displacement and genocide of millions of people around the globe,” purportedly speaking about his views on Israel. At another point, he also berated the ”uncivilized Zionists” who have threatened to attack Iran over its nuclear weapons program.
Toward the middle of his speech, it seemed as though Ahmadinejad was speaking out in an effort to court those sympathetic to the Occupy Wall Street movement. After lamenting about the economic chaos and income disparity present across the globe, he praised the so-called 99 percent (a terminology that is central to the Occupy Wall Street movement).
While speaking about poverty and the general populace, he said, “In the United States and europe their (the citizens’) voices arent heard even if them comprise of 99 percent of the societies.”
