Seems clear to me what he said. Apparently the Official Iranian News org thought so too....

Good find that enlighten us about the meaning of Ahmadinejad's words in Farsi.
Meridor should have a look at this link.

I don't see the difference between should be "wiped of the map" and "must vanish from the page of time".

I guess Iran is trying to low down its usual anti-Israel rethoric. I suppose that it's a part of a broader deal on its nuclear program and other things.

My farsi friends have stated to me that this is the correct translation. The Iranian people know exactly what he means as well.

Ahmadinejad want in his own words ''the eradication of the zionist regime'' and not the average Jewish people

Nice guy.

i wonder why the bombed the AMIA, it was just a jewish community builidng. And do not tell me that Iran have nothing to do with it, because everybody knows Moshen Rabbani did it.

Yeah, and we all know that all those rockets Iran provides to Hizbollah don't kill and maim "average Jews". They'll score direct hits on Bibi and Barak's offices.

LOL!

Nearly 6 million average Jews live in this "zionist regime''. Overwhelming majority of them support it.

So does Achmenijad share Ezz Al-Arab's scholarly opinion that the Anne Diary is a fake? They both shared the opinion that the Holocaust has been greatly exaggerated.

[J.Noah ה]

Its a mis-translation everyone. What he meant was that the Zionist government would implode, and not the jewish people! ( quote from professor)

[MUSHROOM123]

He really believes that the Mahdi will come if Israel will be destroyed.

[J.Noah ה]

He really believes that the Mahdi will come if Israel will be destroyed.

If you look at Linedoggie's link. So I guess the official Iranian newssource mistranslated its own native language?

Iran 'committed to Israel's annihilation,' says top general

When Ahmadinejad purportedly said Israel "should be wiped off the map" there were many who argued that the Iranian leader was mistranslated. No such argument can be made regarding the latest comments by the chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces.

According to the Iranian Fars news agency, while addressing a defense gathering in Tehran on Sunday, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Maj. Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi stressed that the Iranian nation remains committed to the "full annihilation of the Zionist regime of Israel to the end."
According to Fars, Firouzabadi "reiterated the Iranian nation and supreme leader's emphasis on the necessity of support for the oppressed Palestinian nation and its causes," and noted, "The Iranian nation is standing for its cause that is the full annihilation of Israel."
