@ObamaIsMyMessiah (5:59 PM) Wrote: >Ahmadinajad never said he wanted to wipe Israel off the map. Very true! >It was a mistranslation. But only a minor one... if you know Farsi. Scroll to the bottom of this: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/17/israeli-minister-agrees-ahmadinejad-never-said-israel-must-be-wiped-off-the-map/ The correct translation, as provided by the Iranians, who might actually know Farsi better than either of us, reads as follows: "Israel should be wiped out of the face of the world." So "ObamaIsMyMessiah" is technically correct.
