In October 2005 President Ahmadinejad said these EXACT WORDS in farsi: “Imam ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e Qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad.”

Here is a literal word-for-word translation:

Imam (Khomeini)
ghoft (said) een (this) rezhim-e (regime)
ishghalgar-e (occupying) Qods (Jerusalem )
bayad (must) az safheh-ye ruzgar (the page of time)
mahv shavad (vanish from).

The full quote properly translated into English:

“The Imam [Khomeini] said that this regime [now] occupying Jerusalem must vanish [one day] from the page of time”.

Note that (1) the word “map” (“nagsheh” in farsi) is never used.
(2) The farsi verb “wipe out” or “destroy” or “eliminate” is never used. (3) The word “Israel” is never used.

The sentence is no more than a prediction that the Zionist entity would one day die a natural death; it expressed no desire whatever for the violent obliteration of that entity.

Firstly, Ahmadinejad is hopeless at clearing the misconception that surrounds him in the mainstream press of the west. I know he was mistranslated – this page has a good explanation regarding that. Why has Ahmadinejad never said overtly, on the many chances that he has had with western media, that the mistranslation occurred? It’s almost like he wants to look bad.

This really confuses me. I read his letter to Bush – it was very touching really, and gave some faith in this guy.

Can Anyone help me out here?

So McClelland is taking advcse concerning the prosecution of Iran’s President. While he is hot to trot would he also take advice on the articles of impeachment laid in Congress by Senator Kunicich in April 2007. Particularly article ‘three’ which refers to allegations that Cheney has offended by pushing for war against Iran by means of threats which is contrary to international law.
Rudd/McClelland: I suggest that your Government starts being a little more even handed, remember what happened to that war supporter, Howard and his Government.
(911 was an inside job and more are realising it every week due to the scientific evidence of people like Prof Jones, Dr Leifer (Syd Uni) Dr Frank Legge(Perth) and all at aefor911truth.com and all at the patriotsquestion911.com website.)
Ant; great to see your readers coming out of the wood work!! We might start getting some debate here in Australia at last, it will not be balanced in the usual media outlets. May I suggest that you read Steve Alten’s doc/novel; The Shell Game.

You’re a bit thick, which is understandable. Turning black into white is hard and demeaning work. On the contrary, being pro-Israel or Zionist means subordinating one’s intelligence and ethics to a greater cause, Lebensraum. This pathology would be inconsequential if it didn’t have such calamitous consequences for other parties. But then, of course, they aren’t Jews so they don’t matter.

So being pro-Israel or a Zionist means that you’re an idiot?

For those short of time, analytical capacity and/or moral integrity, the Truth is effectively anything currently denied by the Israeli lobby. Vide Mondoweiss (http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/2008/05/jaffa-1948-and.html):
“Commentary’s piece denying the Nakba … shows how fealty to Israel is eroding Jewish intelligence, as it has forced some of the smartest people on the planet to devote themselves to coming up with elaborate proofs that black is white.”
A good local Exhibit A of the phenomenon was ex government Cabinet Minister Barry Cohen’s piece in the SMH, 12 May.

for Zionists the translation is whatever they want it to mean. The truth is not merely irrelevant but dangerous, which is why it has to be suppressed.
