The threats emanating from Iran, with its parades of missiles engraved “Marg bar Israel” (Death to Israel), the regime's Holocaust denial, the determination of Ahmadinejad to wipe Israel off the map (yes, he indeed did say it


 

“Israel must be wiped off of the face of the map”.

Did Mahmoud-Ahmadinejad say that Israel should be wiped off of the map?

Wipe Israel Off Of The Map!

 

I don’t speak Arabic but I know that it’s a much more flowery language than English or probably all European languages, “rivers of blood”, “mother of all wars” etc so I’m wondering what Ahmadinejad actually said in Arabic.

Thanks

    Translated literally Ahmadinejad’s proclamation literally translated says that “the Zionist regime should be wiped from the page of time” (بايد از صفحه روزگار محو شود).

    And according to Juan Cole, who is 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)".

    I’m not sure of course if the revised translation is any more comforting than the original translation, and Ahmadinejad has said similar things at different times.

    It is rumored that the Republican Guard is about to take over the country but I have no idea if that is good news for the world or bad.
