The Biggest Lie Told To The American People: Ahmadinejad's Alleged Remarks On Israel
I speak a couple of languages and the "lost in translation" aspect of language is something I have often struggled with.
Try translating any language and you will be confronted with the difficulty of context and multiple meanings. The English language is very versatile and is full of virtualy untranslateable sayings, I believe translators the world over are guilty of the "lost in translation" trap.
Just off the top of my head I think of the old theater saying "break a leg" , now imagine trying to explain to someone that you aren't wishing bad luck on them , in fact it means good luck but that just isn't said in the theater.

I don't support the violence by arabs, but violence doesn't come from anywhere. It's continued to be perpetuated by the policies of Israel with intent to create an all Jewish state, map their borders so they acquire all the water resources.
Ahmadinejad maybe extreme, but some of his points have some truth.
To this day, I don't understand why the USA is allied with them. Not only that, but we fund it, when we have more domestics priorities that are of more importance.

there should be a referendum with both Jews and Arabs participating based on their right of self-determination to decide whether they want a single- or double-state solution.
While Iran believes in a single-state solution,
the country's official policy is to support the referendum
The fact that Ahmadinejad specifically mentioned the occupation of Jerusalem indicates the main reason for his discontent.
It is certainly legitimate for one to wish the fall or disappearance of a regime - "a government in power" - based on the policies that that government has pursued.
