Corporate Media Lies: Iran’s Pres Did NOT say “Wipe Out Israel”
The corporate media is full of it- here is the Guardian UK’s headline:
Move to bring genocide case against Ahmadinejad as Iran president repeats call to wipe out Israel
Here is Ahmadinejad’s quote (from the same article):
“Thanks to people’s wishes and God’s will, the trend for the existence of the Zionist regime is downwards and this is what God has promised and what all nations want.”
“The trend for the existence of the Zionist regime is downwards” is a far cry from “Wipe out Israel”. It could even be interpreted that Ahmadinejad is not so concerned with Israel the state, as he is with the current regime ruling Israel.
“Israel is about to crash. The Soviet Union disappeared, and this will also be the fate of the Zionist regime.”
Did someone “wipe out” the Soviet Union? No- it collapsed from within.
Are editors across the globe stupid or consciously manipulative?

You’ll find just about any creative way to defend anti-Israel remarks; was there any real difference in the spirit and meaning of the message?
