The very thing that I was talking about before. The American government states it with certainty, gets their (temporary) buddies in Russia, Europe, allies all-around to accept it, and suddenly we're hearing it everywhere; so it must be fact!

There's been plenty of translations, including by those fluent in the regions language, that say something more around the lines of "whipe away the Israeli regime". Not too friendly, but no less than what we're saying over here.

Ahmadinejad wants the territory put back under Muslim control, as a Muslim nation, as it was prior to 1947 (might be a couple years off, memory's rusty on that one). "Wiping it off the face of the map" doesn't even make sense when the land is as holy to them as it is to us; the only difference being that it would be even more holy to them in a sense, because of their religious fanaticism. No Muslim of any standing could get away with wiping out the holy land with nukes, the people would revolt faster than Texans under Communist rule.
