Judging from this video of a rally addressed by President Ahmadinejad at a half-empty stadium in Tehran, attendees were more interested in getting something to eat than in wiping Israel off the map.
Potkin Azarmehr writes:
The crowd that turned up were either government employees, who either had to go, or people who were there for some fun and freebies. Even so the organisers were unable to use them for their propaganda purposes. People chanted “Where is our lunch?” just when Ahmadinejad was being introduced as the next speaker and when he did start making his speech, some started booing him and leaving the stadium or chatting amongst themselves. There were hardly anyone who was paying any attention to his usual rhetoric of “global justice” and the need for “collective management of the world”.
