Caught Red-Handed: Media Backtracks on Iran's Anti-Israel 'Threat'
lol at all you dumb cunts who believe this in the first place.

For close to two years, the media has stubbornly clung to a long discredited story about the Iranian President’s alleged threat to “destroy Israel” with nuclear weapons Iran doesn’t have and denies any intent to acquire. ‘Wiped off the map, wiped off the map,’ they bleat incessantly, even though his actual words, “The Imam [Khomenei] said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time,” were paralleled with the fall of regimes like the Soviet Union and Iran's former U.S.-installed monarchy [see: “WIPED OFF THE MAP” - The Rumor of the Century for a thorough disassembly of this claim]. From the start of his Presidency, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has rhapsodized regularly about the demise of the ‘Zionist regime’ in various metaphorical terms. He and his associates in the Iranian government have compared its fate to the Pharaohs of Egypt and the former apartheid regime in South Africa (which they also did not recognize), but never have they threatened to start a war with any country.

Yet the rumor persists. Top respected journalists, advocates for peace and dialogue with Iran, and individual Iranians themselves bring up the misquote regularly, as do noted Iranian-American scholars. The media's constant drumbeat has even duped top world leaders into believing the myth. On October 29, 2005, the false quote was officially condemned by all 15 Security Council members in a United Nations statement, just following Israel's prior demand that the Security Council expel Iran from the UN due to the remark.

Great post
So true.

And the same zionist media was immediately crying "Al Quaeda Al Quaeda" after the London bombing attempts.

You can see the agenda as surely as you can smell the stench of zionism.

They can cry al CIAduh all they like.

Fuck Em!

Check out the video in the link below and see what former Scotland Yard detective John O'Connor said on Criminal News Network (CNN) this morning.

"So incompetent as to be almost laughable." That's how former Scotland Yard detective John O'Connor described the botched UK bombings this morning on CNN. He also noted that it's probably wrong to refer to these guys as 'al Qaeda'. Check it out ...

Good for you that you rely on the lies of the MSM, probably you live deception in your real life yourself.

Ironically, the more sinister mistranslation was not "wiped off the map" but rather "Israel". The Iranian president, who was quoting his religious leader, was clearly not referring to a nation of people, but to a regime--specifically, the regime occupying Jerusalem. Indeed, one could make a strong argument that if the Israeli government merely withdraws from historical Jerusalem as United Nations resolution have told it to, it will then have fulfilled the Iranian president's quote.

Op you sound like a robber who tells his victims he is here to redistribute wealth and nothing more. The president of Iran is a whack job. I watched the Squeaky voiced Iranian mouse get beaten and killed, what sane mind feeds this drivel to their kids?
