IRNA: "President: Improper distribution of wealth major challenge of today's world"

From Islamic Republic News Agency:
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Wednesday evening that improper distribution of wealth among the world's constituents was the major challenge of today's world.

Addressing a large number of local officials, scholars and elites upon his arrival in this western city, the president complained that the world was now getting more and more polarized between the world's rich and poor.

"The present world is suffering as a result of the decisions of a number of hegemonic powers and their unlimited thirst for dominance," criticized the president, adding that "these same powers are the cause of all the problems facing the world's inhabitants." Ahmadinejad said that the desire for dominance by hegemonic powers and to impose their own culture and traditions on others has been the cause of many conflicts.

"Colonial powers seek to rob nations of their wealth by funneling these into their own treasuries," the president complained.

Describing colonial powers as a "blight" in the life of nations, the president said they try to perpetuate their power and hegemony by engaging in disastrous wars and the massacre of lives.
Would Ahmadinejad be an example of an anti-Semitic leftist?
