Blaming Israel for the world's woes is an age-old approach that works at all levels of education or wealth. To some extent the Jews have brought this upon themselves but in this case it is merely another attempt at taking the focus off himself. I wouldn't be surprised if the common Iranian hasn't become so tired of this tactic that he isn't merely ignored or even have it backfire.
Mr. Ahmadinejad has outgrown his welcome, even with the real power establishment in Iran.
