"wiped off the Map": a biased Translation for a War... (The Guardian, etc etc)

The Guardian explains that very well :

BBC editors try to justify their position, but, That there is a degree of uncertainty in all translations seems a fairly weak excuse for confusing
"this regime must ultimately vanish of page of time" with "this country must be destroyed".

The Guardian :

Lost in translation

Experts confirm that Iran's president did not call for Israel to be 'wiped off the map'. Reports that he did serve to strengthen western hawks. reddit this Comments (163) Jonathan Steele Jonathan Steele guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 14 June 2006 12.49 BST Article history

Four well-established translation sources confirm that Ahmadinejad was referring to time, not place. The version of the October 26 2005 speech put out by the Middle East Media Research Institute, based on the Farsi text released by the official Iranian Students News Agency, says: "This regime that is occupying Qods [Jerusalem] must be eliminated from the pages of history." (NB: not "wiped". I accept that "eliminated" is almost the same, indeed some might argue it is more sinister than "wiped", though it is a bit more of a mouthful if you are trying to find four catchy and easily memorable words with which to incite anger against Iran)

Funny how this doesn't have 100k views. But at least we know that this video exists.

@asg102 :-)

[DiatonicSoul]

But why all of a sudden Iran wants a nuclear weapon?

[DecryptorV1]

@DiatonicSoul To defend itself against the usual "preventive attacks", but not for nuke israel, just as disuasion

Israel is the owner of at least 200 Nuclear and thermo-Nuclear warheads, Iran needs Aa force Disuasion able to rebalancing the forces.

@DecryptorV1

Please don't disable ratings. On face value, the video looks like crap if ratings are disabled. Enable ratings, I'm sure it will have a lot more likes than dislikes. It's a really IMPORTANT video.

[LT07312]

@EuroPropaganda Ah yes. The famous "all European Nuclear experts". Pure speculations. Now again who cares? I will trust nukes to the Israelis anytime before a man who still supports Mr Al-Assad. Some of you talk about rebalancing regional power? Iran is a strong player as it is, it has no need for nukes. Iran has pretty much done what its wanted for the past decades without any intervention from the West. Good luck keeping the Straits of Hormuz open if he gets his hands on them.

[EuroPropaganda]

@LT07312 All the European Nuclear experts agreed on this fact, your lies are used

[LT07312]

@DecryptorV1 You must be pretty high up in Israeli intelligence since there has never been any disclosure of what Israel has or doesn't have. Saying that Iran needs nuclear warheads because Israel has them is based on pure speculation. P.s. Mr Galloway is not a valid source for intelligence on nuclear arsenals

[TheNova1960]

David Horowitz is a liar and anit-American! I wish he would go live in Israel and shut his big fat mouth he's nothing more than a piece of white trash!

[TheNova1960]

The President of Iran never said he wanted to "wipe Israel off of the map"!  Although, it's not a bad idea considering they're always causing so much trouble for America!
