Ahmenidijad (sp) never said "wipe Israel off the map." This was an intentionally poor translation provided by our media Jews to stoke paranoia in Israel (already suffering from high levels of unfounded paranoia) and demonize another Arab country.
Actually, his own government website had his quote translated, which was something like "Erase Israel from time" or something. Of course, they took it down, after a while, but the translation was basically accurate.
Actually, here's the quote:
People who know Farsi People who know Farsi:
According to Juan Cole, a University of Michigan Professor of Modern Middle East and South Asian History, Ahmadinejad's statement should be translated as:
The Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem (een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods) must [vanish from] the page of time (bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad).[11]
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) translates the phrase similarly, as "be eliminated from the pages of history."[12]
So basically being erased from history seems even worse, considering you're conducting revisionism as well.
