Students often write that Iranian leader Ahmadinejad had said that
""Israel must be wiped off the map." It is now widely agreed that it was
a mis-translation.
As the Guardian columnist Jonathan Steele explained in 2006, a more direct translation of Mr. Ahmadinejad’s remarks would be: “this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time,” echoing a statement once made by the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
