Yea, but who decides it should be part of Palestine? Why not say... Germany? Who were the cause of the holocaust. Or maybe some other random place? My point is, the majority of countries shouldn't dictate who should take the fall for it.

Look at the article reference ... Maybe you should write "probably means" instead of "means" ...

I'm pretty sure there was... google it. Everyone was saying that the Iran President (which actually has no power.. their religious leader, whatever he is called has the real power) said that Israel should be wiped off the map. That was a mistranslation. He said that the Israeli regime needs to be wiped off the map.

Um, okay I'm going to assume you are correct in what you say. However, what about the other 500 instances of his blatant threats towards Israel? Look you can dislike a government, and what not, however wanting to wipe people off the Earth is something I hope he has no supporters over here in the West.

Well without sounding like a total asshole ...

Apart from the probable retaliation, Israel is easily top of the list of countries that could get nuked and I wouldn't care.

As in truly wouldn't care.

I'd care more if [insert obscure country here] was nuked.

The person that says that stuff about Israel doesn't even have the power to do so.
