According to Cole, "Ahmadinejad did not say he was going to wipe Israel off the map because no such idiom exists in Persian" and "He did say he hoped its regime, i.e., a Jewish-Zionist state occupying Jerusalem, would collapse."[1]
I think he was saying that he hoped for a better regime that will make peace with the palestinians.
I do not think that he is that dumb since he seems highly intellectual and Media misinterprets what he says.

One of the reason that media hates him is because he calls for the Palestinians to be given their rights.
he did say that he is not against the Israeli people just against the policies of the regime.

One of my Irani friend said that Ahmadinejad used the word regime rather than state of Israel.

Human rights of the Palestinian people are as important as the rights of Israeli people.

Well i have the same opinions a you have and it is actually the Media actually the western media which is always mispresenting Islam like as they are giving misinformation about what the muslim leader Ahmadenijad
had said.Similarly if a muslim is cought in a terrorst activity in the USA in any western news channel which is supposed to be nuetral like BBC or CNN they will show it again and again in the news that a muslim is cought in the terrorist activity atleast ten times they would show it but after a day or two when the news comes that a wrong person had been cought they just show it once and until that time they had done the damage to Islam by misrepresenting it to the people.This shows that these western channels like BBC and CNN are supposed to be neutral and also pretend to be but are actually run by the christians with jews on their heads as bosses so u know what is going to happen.
And if a sixty year old Arab marries a girl of 16 years of age they would give a news of it again and again but they won't tell it even ones that in USA a ten year old girl is rapped by a 50year old man and in America actually it is so common to rape a women that in 10seconds several get rapped and many of them are yet very young girls and such terrible news will never come from arabia as the men are (stonned to death ) not hanged But(stonned to Death) who rape anywomen as this is a law of Islam so i don't want to say that in arab these kind of things don't happen they actually do but the rates in which they happen are uncomparable as to those which happen in the western countries.

The professor is a liar.

I had a student in one of my classes who was born and raised in Iran and speaks Farsi (not "Persian"), spoken by 75% of Iranians. He has heard Ahmadinajad's speaches televised, and since Pete speaks fluent English, as well, is able to give us accurately what is said.

What kind of a sucker do you have to be to watch Hezbollah attack Israel without provocation and then try to say that the President of Iraq only wishes for collapse and doesn't actively seek it?

The media can not be trusted anymore for reporting accurate info. Nowadays you need to get info from different sources to even get a hint of what is really going on.
