Iran and Israel: Lost in translation?

[sionjajate]

Yes, because there is a "difference" between Zionists and Israelis. Anybody who lives in or supports Israel is a Zionist. Calling on Zionists to be wiped out is asking me to wiped out and so, you "ass-kissing" fools, I'm sure if Ahmedinjad ever got his way, you'd both would probably be next.

[pahlavi2500]

I'm an iranian and i think he is the most ediet president in the world ...

[FedFarmer]

"He wants to kill all Jews. The Islamic Republic of Iran is a fundamentalist movement which follows the Qur'an by chapter and verse.

In the Qur'an the Jews are described as apes and pics. Every Jew must be killed. So what the hell is he talking about that Ahmadinejad doesn't want to kill the Jews but only Israel. What king of sense is this ?"

They why hasn't he killed all 10,000 Jews living in Iran? One would think that would be a great place to start if one was as you say they are.

[luvahman1967]

The Islamization of the country has brought about strict control over Jewish educational institutions. Before the revolution, there were some 20 Jewish schools functioning throughout the country. In recent years, most of these have been closed down. In the remaining schools, Jewish principals have been replaced by Muslims. Jewish pupils are also required to attend school on Saturday.

[galuiot]

Sure Ahmadinejad wants to destroy israel, what is all this talking about?

[HHeine]

You are right and not only Israel: He wants to kill all Jews. The Islamic Republic of Iran is a fundamentalist movement which follows the Qur'an by chapter and verse.

In the Qur'an the Jews are described as apes and pics. Every Jew must be killed. So what the hell is he talking about that Ahmadinejad doesn't want to kill the Jews but only Israel. What king of sense is this ?

[luvahman1967]

One fact cannot be disputed - Ahmadinejad's statement that "the Jerusalem-occupying regime must be erased from the page of time" was interpreted by Persian-language bloggers - without exception - as meaning the physical destruction of the State of Israel.

[samnycsam]

you arn not iranian if you are mosleim

[NickAAylward]

irans no more a terrorist state than many other western countries, thats a line that the neo con crowd will try and roll out....but the reality is many countries some western have supported oppressive regimes around the world, if you had the US on your doorstep its understandable that they'd be justifiably defensive...!, the neo con crowd look at editorials like this as left wing communist bias, though they expect everyone to swallow there obsenely bias BS....

[youazadi]

@Islamic cesonre: Israel is a terrorist state so the regime must be kicked out and the fleed palestinians must have the possibility to go home again. I have visited your channel. You seem to be one of these islam haters... why ever. You are damn blindfolds. Note: I'm NOT muslim but atheist.

[h4m1dr3z4]

ahmadinejad is the most crazy president in the whole world's history

[youazadi]

You have never heard a speech of him and you dare to judge about him?

Have you ever seen the documentarys about the palestinians have been displaced??

[sashiadortman]

Haven't you heard of Bush? Hitler? Stalin? The Shah of Iran (a US of Hypocrisy supported brutal dictator) Pinochet in Chile - also a brutal dictator supported by the USH.

You are brainwashed.

[galuiot]

Sure he is not the worst, but one of the worst at the moment... well there is mugabe, Burma regime.. but then.

Iranian dissidents rally against Ahmadinejad in New York

Sep 25, 2007

NEW YORK (AFP) — Around 300 Iranian opposition exiles held a rally in a square near the United Nations Tuesday.

Navid Amiri said that Ahmadinejad's insistence since arriving in the United States that Tehran was not pursuing a nuclear weapons program was a blatant untruth.

"He's lying. The facts speak for themselves. They are the ones who are pushing Iran and the whole region towards more bloodshed and war," he added.

[luvahman1967]

Even the Iranian newscaster that introduced the report on the "World without Zionism" Conference used the word "Israel" (instead of the "Jerusalem-occupying regime") and also the word "world" (instead of the "page of time"), and thus referred to Ahmadinejad's statement as "erasing Israel, this disgraceful stain, from the world" (clip available from the Jerusalem Center upon request).

[stormz7675454]

yeah pakistan I hear will nuke the hell

out of India If that happen.

[mzjwright]

It is a fake regime and a fake Country and a fake system...WAR IS TERRORISM...Ummah unite..we need to seriously change things...This is happening so they can try n' start the next war with Iran..There's NO MONEY IN PEACE..Where are the armies of Egypt..or Jordan, or Syria? POWER TO THE PEOPLE**

** I HAVE VIDEOS POSTED..PLEASE WATCH THEM!!!!

[EvilHomerr]

Your so right

[galuiot]

Ummah is a construction of raging incompetance.

[NickAAylward]

i aggree, let iran and israel go for it.....I like to see a fare fight.....and israel for a long time hasn't really tried to get along with its neigbours...instead they controll western media and governments to get behind there own crimes.....and, I'm not anti semitic, though i show no bias....just let em go for it!....hopefully they'll bomb the shit outof eatchother....

[lastnymleft]

NickAAylward - A fair fight would see America first providing several hundreds of billions of US-taxpayer dollars to upgrade the Iranian military, and providing them nuclear technology and a minimum of 300 nuclear weapons, and nuclear submarines to dispatch them. Oh, and also the full resources of the most powerful intelligence collection system in the world.

[sashiadortman]

Why can't people see how hypocritical the US and Israel are? The US and Israel are nuclear powers whining about non-nuclear Iran being a "threat" to them.

The school yard bullies complain to the teacher that the small children have picked up sticks to defend themselves.

[IranPresswatch]

Gen. Thomas McInerney

"Here's what I would suggest to you. Number one, we take the National Council for Resistance to Iran off the terrorist list that the Clinton Administration put them on as well as the Mujahedin-e Khalq at the Camp Ashraf in Iraq. Then I would start a tit-for-tat strategy ... People don't have to know how it was done. It's a covert action. They become the most unlucky country in the world."

[Hesam0000]

Again Ahmadinejad said "The zionist regime" and again Bush and western media translated that into "Israel"!

[doobtribe]

He's definitly not very worried about the international comunity, what will it do? Another sanction? as if it would do/change/help with anything...

Imo its another attempt to keep petroleum(Oil) prices going up and feed the idiots in market speculation ("Analysts").

Of course Saudi Arabia and Russia (mainly, but others) are happy with a smile from ear to ear and the pockets full with all this.

[adventurousvictor]

I bet most American really thinks other people speak English and take everything literally.

[VerbLinguist]

Can someone please explain to me what America gets from supporting the Zionist Jewish movement??? I mean I understand we have a substantial Jewish population and a lot of behind the scenes influence from the Jewish community, but what is the real ADVANTAGE of supporting Israel the way we do? I mean besides not pissing off the Jewish community. LOL! I'm definitely not Anti-Semitic by any means, but I don't know about this Zionist bullshit, something ain't right with it.....

[lastnymleft]

VerbLinguist - "we have a substantial Jewish population"

No we don't. They make up just 2% of the population. They have *extremely* disproportionate influence over government policy and actions.

And don't worry about being labeled "anti-semitic". (They have pretty much worn that ol' chestnut out!) Zionists deliberately try to conflate zionism with judaism, but we mustn't let them hijack a whole religion for their B/S PR purposes. Zionism is a political ideology every bit as repugnant as racism

[lastnymleft]

D'oh! Meant for that to be:

"Zionism is a political ideology every bit as repugnant as NAZISM"

[bijanboxtub]

as long as americans are supporting zionist and there is trouble in midle east us can steal from those countries

[MuslimGhost]

They should point out the fact that all the news agencies which translate the Iranian comments to appear directly threatening are owned and run by Jews or Zionists. Jewish Owned/Run Networks: Associated Press, Reuters, CNN, Disney/ABC, Viacomm (media empire), Washington Post, New York Times, and many more than I can list here. Its not a coincidence, they are deliberately making those translation "errors". That lie about "wipe israel off the map" has been used by the neocons as war propaganda

[luvahman1967]

Khameini (Dec 1999)There is only one solution to the Middle East problem, namely the annihilation and destruction of the Jewish state

Obama Reaches Out to Iranian People in Message

Newsroom America - ‎Mar 20, 2009‎

Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called Israel a "cancerous tumor" that is on the verge of collapse and has called for its destruction. ...

[luvahman1967]

"The foundation of the Islamic regime is opposition to Israel and the perpetual subject of Iran is the elimination of Israel from the region." Khameini Jan 15, 2001.

Iranian journalist Kasra Naji translated this sentence from the original Farsi as follows: "It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region.

[HomansExchange]

If anyone, like myself, has watched Iranian television you wouldn't worry about translation. I really reccomend those who don't think racism is a national sport in Iran, should take a look for themself. Even if you didn't understand Farsi you would really the Jew Hating. As one of their popular shows has an evil witch with a giant Jewish Star on her forehead.

[lordblazer]

Racism was worse in America. Seeing that we almost wiped out an entire people, and ten we enslaved, and dehumanized another group. Then we made a system making sure that that group wouldn't be treated as humans. Now here we are today trying to recover from much of our past, but we are failing to recover, and it seems America doesn't want to recover from it's problems with racism.

[crazycatfguy]

Israel is a terrorist state guilty of multiple war crimes. An evil witch is being kind to them.

[koya25555]

thank you! you're a smart guy

[doboy09]

stop the warmongering neocons

[Pleblian]

Micheal Petrou wrote an artical in Mcleans magazine on Apr 23 2008 That many, in the region including the Israeli parliment, believe it cannot sustain it's theocratic policies for much longer. According to the artical, it's believed they will be out populated by muslim and christain arabs with-in the next twenty years and that the jewish political majority will be outvoted in a demicratic process.

[Pleblian]

Perhaps this was what Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was speaking of in his speech.

[cursedsilly]

Typical Americans,

The Ayotallah is the only one who could pose a threat to Israel, not Ahmedenejad. And so far he hasn't threatened Israel. Ahmed has no power whatsoever.

[AuroraKismet]

True.But most Americans can't find Iran on a map,much less understand the nuances of Iranian politics.

[Kittenkattan]

Folks!

No matter how you translate it. He has said plainly that he will never recognize Israel and wants it destroyed and returned to the Palestians. I think this was an exercise in intellectual mastabation.

It is not that he is not understood correctly, he is understood, very clearly.

Report the news, please. Thank you.

[dogstar7]

Kittenkattan,

If you feel that Ahmadinejad's remarks are being misinterpreted here, please show us where there are discrepancies. Otherwise your assessment is merely your own misinformed opinion.

Real News Network is focusing on analysis and discussion of issues, not merely spoon feeding edited facts to it's ideological clients, as is the practice of todays mass media news outlets.

[Kittenkattan]

I am pointing out that Mr.Ahmadinejad has stated on more than one time that He will not recognize Israel and wants it destroyed, how can that be misinterpeted? You can go on Aljeeria's website, New York Times website. What difference does it make the he said "Root it out" or "Destroy it"? It means the same thing! I just think that this time you were caught up in the minutia, that all.

I am not a Zionist, and I think there is a lot of problems in Israel of their own doing. continue....

[Kittenkattan]

Continued... but offering only Destruction from a head of state is very dangerous to say the least. That is the point I was trying to make. I think that you have done great job on the whole and I have donated to you in the last month to keep this news organization going. I just think this time it was missing the forest for the trees situation. That's my two cents.

Peace.

[cursedsilly]

God, you likudniks are paranoid. Iran doesn't have to recognize Israel's existence. Half the world doesn't recognize it as a legitimate regime.

Israel is not having an existensial crisis. But whatever, bring on the rapture. Kill 35,000 Iranian jews if you have to.

[cursedsilly]

Oh, and if you likudniks didn't show this much interest when the Malaysian Pres wanted spoke ill of your precious Israle. Where was the beef then?

[dogstar7]

Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Manouchehr Mottaki told a news conference, speaking in English, after addressing the European Parliament. "How is it possible to remove a country from the map? He is talking about the regime. We do not recognise legally this regime," he said.

[dogstar7]

Wasn't it George Bush who once start a war for "Regime Change" in another sovereign country?

[AcePilot101]

Iran is building the capacity to make nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, fools attempt to ignore the threat posed by Iran against Israel.

Israel has a right to exist in peace. Iran is a mad dog, determined to destroy Israel.

[OmarAlQaseer]

Even if Iran creates a nuclear weapon, it would be suicide for Iran to use it. Iran's leaders understand this, and Ahmadinejad is nothing but a voice box of the Islamic leaders of Iran. While Iran is ideologically set against Israel, they have no interest in attacking Israel, much less with a nuclear weapon. That's politics 101 - Nuclear holocaust starts with one warhead.

[lastritesread]

Iran is next on the Neo-con list of targets! I hope and pray that we as a people of a Constitutional Republic stand up soon and take back what is rightfully ours, for I fear if we do not unite and fight for what is right we will lose our voice via the Imperial neo-con empire destruction of our liberties.

We must wake up now, lest we never wake up again!

[FattKidd]

Ahmadinejad is simply making observations that many ISRAELIS share and that is, if Isreal continues on the current path it is on, where it disregards the Palestinian people, continues to build more and more settlements on occupied lands, continues to push Palestinians out of East Jerusalem, continues with it's Aparthied state, trying to starve the Palestinian people to death, they will eventually destroy themselves. The rest of the world will not tolerate such one sidedness/brutality.

[maunaowakea777]

one can only hope and pray that a successful diplomatic strategy can return a stable and honorable coexistance between Israel and her neighbors. Everyone knows that this must start with how the Israeli and Palistinian governments reach a completely peaceful and mutually beneficial brotherhood.

Thanks real news for the real translation. It makes me sick how propogandists twists what comes out of Iran to suit their own war mongering agenda.

It makes me sicker to see the news outlets (particularly Fox) continually perpetuate these lies and state them as fact.
