Ayatollah Khamenei is being quoted often in the news media, but the quote is not accurate most of the time. I once heard that the literal translation was not being accurately reported. What were his exact words and was it being translated fairly?
I heard that he didn't really call for the destruction of Israel and it was more like erase from the map of history. Something can end without being destroyed. The USSR for example. The USSR ended, but it was not destroyed.
What did he really say? And was it translated properly without prejudice?
When Iran speaks of wiping Israel off the map, it doesn’t mean the mass slaughter of the country’s Jews but rather eliminating the Jewish state’s “imposed regime,” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Friday.
“The disappearance of Israel does not mean the disappearance of the Jewish people, because we have nothing against [Jews],” Khamenei said, speaking alongside senior Iranian officials at the so-called 33rd International Islamic Unity Conference.
“Wiping out Israel means that the Palestinian people, including Muslims, Christians and Jews, should be able to determine their fate and get rid of thugs such as [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu,” Khamenei continued, according to Iranian media.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidI know you are. War with Iran is not in your best interest. You will gain nothing from it. Nothing at all.
Lunatic
@Metal-Brain saidDont rile yourself up pal. All will be well soon in Iran. The Jews are taking care of things.... 😀

@Metal-Brain saidYes another quote from him was everybody gets a car. Fact!
I found this quote:
It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region.
Ali Khamenei
Is that the quote or is there another?
@Metal-Brain saidThat's a very reasonable position. 😆

@spruce112358 saidReasonable for terrorists and their supporters. Kamanenei financies proxy terrorists groups who kill Jews. He is guilty of murder, and he is going to die, and the Jews are going to damage Teheran and wipe out Irans ability to pose any further threat.
That's a very reasonable position. 😆

Calm yourself before you have a stroke.
The enemy sounds like you, if truth be told.
@Metal-Brain saidSure sounds like it to me.

Stop making excuses for Islam, they want to force their sick religion and culture on the whole world and kill anyone that doesn't accept Allah. It's right in their goddamn bible.
