Benjamin Netanyahu is a pathological liar
Netanyahu has recently concocted a number of lies over the past few days. Iran, he has said, is “indefinitely more dangerous” than North Korea! Why? Well, Iran wants to “dominate the world.” He added:
“The one potent force in militant Islam that has emerged is Iran. And it is devouring one nation after the other. It is doing so either by direct conflict, or more usually by using proxies.”
This man obviously thinks that the entire world is blind and that no one has been able to keep a record of what’s happening in the Middle East. When was the last time Iran invaded another country?

The government of Iran wants to “wipe Israel off the map” (those exact words have been used multiple times by high-ranking members of the Iranian government), so you can understand if the Israeli leader has some anti-Iranian biases. Iran is in a geographic location where it has the ability to threaten Israel; North Korea, is not, even if it wanted to.
Historical and current antisemitism is never an excuse for the appalling way Israel continues to act in foreign policy, particularly in its encroachment on the Palestinian Territories, but calling out Netanyahu for disliking the regime that doesn’t recognise Israel’s right to exist and would gladly put an end to that existence, is barking up the wrong tree.
The Iranian nuclear deal may have gone a long way to easing these tensions, however it is your government, led by Donald Duck, that wants to rip it up, and destroy years of diplomacy, all to spite former president Obama.

James, the “wipe Israel off the map” is completely debunked. It’s from MEMRI, which is Mossad propaganda.
Since at least 1982, the US and Israel have claimed that “Iran is months away from a nuclear weapon”. This is because the US lost control of Iran in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution after toppling it’s democracy in 1953 and installing a dictator/traitor.
Which you sheep would realize that all governments lie. Netanyahu is a compulsive liar and yet you still believe him. Obama was one too and so was Bush Jr.. It’s pathetic that some people, like you, can be fooled all the time.

It’s a classic propaganda tactic to strip a statement of critical details then take some artistic liberty in order to make it fit a political agenda (a type of straw man argument). Fun fact: the orginal iranian statement does not contain the word “map”, it also does not refer to Israel as a state but, rather the current regime with their zionist ideology. In other words, from an iranian point of view the problem is the current israeli political system, not the state by itself.
US and Israel are perhaps the best current examples if you want to study the concept hubris.

And so the original statement says what exactly? You have said what it doesn’t say.
Come on, Critter. You’re letting me down here!! Where is your usual thorough comment which ties up every loose end?

Fair enough, I’ll just take the liberty of quoting the explanation/translation given in this article by Arash Norouzi, (I reccomend reading the whole article, it’s quite illuminating regarding Irans view of Israel) https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-wiped-off-the-map-the-rumor-of-the-century-fabricated-by-the-us-media-to-justify-an-all-out-war-on-iran/21188
“…
THE ACTUAL QUOTE:
So what did Ahmadinejad actually say? To quote his exact words in farsi:
“Imam ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad.”
That passage will mean nothing to most people, but one word might ring a bell: rezhim-e. It is the word “Regime“, pronounced just like the English word with an extra “eh” sound at the end. Ahmadinejad did not refer to Israel the country or Israel the land mass, but the Israeli regime. This is a vastly significant distinction, as one cannot wipe a regime off the map. Ahmadinejad does not even refer to Israel by name, he instead uses the specific phrase “rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods” (regime occupying Jerusalem).
So this raises the question.. what exactly did he want “wiped from the map”? The answer is: nothing. That’s because the word “map” was never used. The Persian word for map, “nagsheh“, is not contained anywhere in his original farsi quote, or, for that matter, anywhere in his entire speech. Nor was the western phrase “wipe out” ever said. Yet we are led to believe that Iran’s President threatened to “wipe Israel off the map”, despite never having uttered the words “map”, “wipe out” or even “Israel”.
The full quote translated directly to English:
“The Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time”.
Word by word translation:
Imam (Khomeini) ghoft (said) een (this) rezhim-e (regime) ishghalgar-e (occupying) qods (Jerusalem) bayad (must) az safheh-ye ruzgar (from page of time) mahv shavad (vanish from) … “
