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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

"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.

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. ...

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 In the remaining schools, Jewish principals have been replaced by Muslims.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.

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.

[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).
