    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad_and_Israel#Translation_controversy

    From Wikipedia , section on "Translation controversy"

    Iranian government sources denied that Ahmadinejad issued any sort of threat. On 20 February 2006, Iran's foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki told a news conference: "How is it possible to remove a country from the map? He is talking about the regime. We do not recognize legally this regime." [15][16][17]

    Shiraz Dossa, a professor of Political Science at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada, also believes the text is a mistranslation.[18]

      Ahmadinejad was quoting the Ayatollah Khomeini in the specific speech under discussion: what he said was that "the occupation regime over Jerusalem should vanish from the page of time." No state action is envisaged in this lament; it denotes a spiritual wish, whereas the erroneous translation—"wipe Israel off the map"—suggests a military threat. There is a huge chasm between the correct and the incorrect translations. The notion that Iran can "wipe out" U.S.-backed, nuclear-armed Israel is ludicrous.[19][20][21]

    Could you point to my lies then?

    Zionism is a political movement (based on your own references). My opinion is that it is an extremnist movement which has has caused uncountable problems in last 50 years.

    For the mistranslation of Ahmadinejad's speech take a look at Google:

    Could you give us a reference on your accusation that Iran once (if not ROUTINELY) threaten to wipe out a country? If you mean the mistranslated ONCE said by Ahmadinjead then all your accusations are fake.

    By the way, Israel has committed genocide and it is something that Everyone in the world knows about that.

    And who told you what Ahmadinejad is convinced about? I guess it's you that is convinced on that because he did not say that.

    Besides Ahmadinejad is a president and president does not have say in military. Military is under the direct orders of supreme leader and supreme leader's official position is that Nukes are not allowed (what they call Haram).
