What did the President of Iran Mammoud Ahmadinejad really say?

" A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get it's pants on"

That is a quote by former President of the United States, Winston Churchill. I can't say that I disagree either. According to a legend almost every major mainstream media outlet in the US and around the world, the President of Iran threatened to "wipe Israel off the map" despite having never uttured the words "map", "wipe out", or even "Israel".

So what did Mr. Ahmadinejad really say?

To quote his exact words in Farsi, he said: "Imam ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad".

Now here is a word by word translation: Imam (Khomeini) ghoft (said) een (this) rezhim-e (regime) ishghalgar-e (occupying) qods (Jerusalem) bayad (must) az safheh-ye ruzgar (from page of time) mahv shavad (vanish from), which can be found here and here


As you may have noticed by now, Ahmadinejad did not refer to Israel the land mass or Israel the country, but the fascist political Zionist regime which occupies the Israeli government. It is also important to understand the context within this statement was made.

According to the 1967 International Recognized Borders, East Jerusalem belongs to the Palestinians and is currently being occupied illegally by Israeli military, as is the West Bank. No country has recognized Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem and the United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 rejected as a violation of international law!


In the full speech, he also gives examples of 3 regimes within the past 30 years who have collapsed or crumbled:
The Shah Of Iran (Which the US helped install. The operation was called Operation Ajax)
The Soviet Union
Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein

Now, even if the major media outlets that carried the lies concerning what Ahmadinejad really said were to each issue a public apology, the damage has already been done. What has just been demonstrated is proof of media manipulation and propaganda at work. Considering that many of the Board Of Directors and CEO's of the major news network are Zionist and also have money invested in the Military-Industrial-Complex, it doesn't suprise me one bit.
