True Jews hate Israel?

I think it ill-behoves anyone to say who is a "true Jew" but Jewish member of the Iranian parliament, Morris Motamed, as reported by the Iranian Islamic Republic News Agency, thinks he knows:
MP for Jewish community Morris Motamed said Friday that all the true Jews and followers of the divine religion as well as those believing in Moses (AS) hate usurper Israel due to the barbaric behavior of the Zionist regime.

The unequal war and clashes between Israelis, equipped with the most advanced weapons, and Palestinians, with stones in their hands, should be taken as the root cause of the public resentment, Motamed told IRNA on the sidelines of the World Quds (Jerusalem) Day rallies.

He reiterated, "The late Imam's slogan that Israel should be wiped off the world map" reflects the brave resistance of Imam as the founder of the Islamic Republic and said that all nations should do their utmost to materialize Imam's statement."
True Jews, along with Muslim people, follow the path for campaign against Zionists and the Israeli crimes, he noted.

The suppressed people of Palestine should feel that all the followers of divine religions support them, he added.

Thousands have reportedly taken part in the rallies on the World Quds Day, the last Friday of the holy fasting month of Ramadhan.

President Ahmadinejad, the EC Chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and some senior officials took part in the rallies to express their support for Intifada of Palestine.
Incidentally, the same website carries a report of what the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, actually said regarding Israel being wiped from the map. One line stands out:
He added that a world without the US and Israel would be possible.
Why no outcry about the "threat" to America? Obviously, the threat is about as credible as the threat to Israel, ie, INcredible, but why is America (and it's European allies) more concerned for Israel than for America? I've used these profound words before regarding America and Iran: Funny old world.
