Middle East
“Across the world, a dangerous rumor has spread that could have catastrophic implications. According to legend, Iran’s President has threatened to destroy Israel, or, to quote the misquote, ‘Israel must be wiped off the map.’ Contrary to popular belief, this statement was never made, as this article will prove.”
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=NOR20070120&articleId=4527 by Arash Norouzi. The words “map,” “wipe out” or “Israel” were never uttered.
On October 25th, 2005, President Ahmadinejad, delivered a speech at a program titled “The World Without Zionism.”
“In his speech, Ahmadinejad declares that Zionism is the West’s apparatus of political oppression against Muslims. He says the ‘Zionist regime’ was imposed on the Islamic world as a strategic bridgehead to ensure domination of the region and its assets.
Palestine, he insists, is the frontline of the Islamic world’s struggle with American hegemony, and its fate will have repercussions for the entire Middle East.”
“He concludes by referring to [the late Ayatollah] Khomeini’s unfulfilled wish: ‘The Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time. This statement is very wise.’ This is the passage that has been isolated, twisted and distorted so famously. By measure of comparison, Ahmadinejad would seem to be calling for regime change, not war.”
You would do well to spread this message far and wide to possibly avert more psychpathic insanity from those evil murderers who are working overtime to enslave humanity in their “New World Order.”
