Iran finds itself at odds with much of the entire world as it pursues a nuclear weapon

I think he may not have been referring to historical roots when he said that. To me it looks like Ahmadinejad is telling Netanyahu that the U.S. will no longer support him.
Ahmadinejad said Iran has been around for thousands of years, Reuters reports, but Israel has existed for only 60 or 70.
"They (Israel) have no roots there in history," Ahmadinejad added. "They do not even enter the equation for Iran."

No, I'm sure he knows all about Palestinian history that goes back a thousand years. While the tribe of Judah lost their temple in 70 ad, it's a stretch to say European-Israelis are the same as these Judahites of two thousand years ago. That is what he means by no roots.
However, there are semitic jews in Palestine/Israel that never migrated, they are on the same level as Palestinians, and unfortunately receive the same treatment. Mant of these jews represent the 'true torah jews' against zionist occupation.

Anyone else find it "convenient" that he's speaking on a day when Israel will not have anyone present at the UN? Wednesday is Yom Kippur.
It's even odder that he will say this when historical facts seem to indicate that there were jews in israel before the islamic faith even existed.

Israel didn't exist until 60 years ago. This is a map of the area in 1940 there is no Israel.
While he also believes the US is not supporting Israel as much as usual, he was being clear he did mean historical roots.
DNA evidence lends credence to accounts that in 312 BC Egypt's king settled Jews in Cyrenaica, in what is now Tunisia. According to the Jewish historian Josephus (born in AD 37), by the first century AD there were 500,000 Jews there. The DNA that Tunisian Jews share with those of the Middle East supports accounts that, after the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem in AD 70, 30,000 Jews were deported to Carthage, in what is now Tunisia.

Ahmadinejad says Israel has 'no roots' in Middle
There's no such thing as Jewish DNA. What DNA "evidence" are you talking about?
Dr. Skorecki made contact with Professor Michael Hammer, of the University of Arizona, a leading researcher in molecular genetics and a pioneer in Y chromosome research. Professor Hammer uses DNA analysis to study the history of populations, their origins and migrations. His previous research included work on the origins of the Native American Indians and the development of the Japanese people.
The finding of a common set of genetic markers in both Ashkenazi and Sephardi Cohanim worldwide clearly indicates an origin pre-dating the separate development of the two communities around 1000 CE. Date calculation based on the variation of the mutations among Cohanim today yields a time frame of 106 generations from the ancestral founder of the line, some 3,300 years -- the approximate time of the Exodus from Egypt, the lifetime of Aaron HaCohen.
Date calculations based on the mutations yield a time frame for the Cohen line of some 3,300 years!
He confirmed that his findings are consistent -- over 80 percent of self-identified Cohanim have a common set of markers.
