To be honest i was fairly undecided about this whole iran affair, until i started doing some checking on the often heard rumours/facts about iran wanting to "wipe out" israel and threatning to use nukes.. upon closer examination these all appear to be complete false paraquotes.

The "wipe out" statement often attributed iran was nothing more than someone using zionism as en example in a quote.. i.e. the zionist regime will be wiped out , just as ussr was wiped out.. taken out of context it would appear they truly do want to kill all jews. taken in context and with ussr as an example , we realise exactly what the statement means.. it means a non-violent crumbling of a broken idea..

Then the nuclear threat.. was nothing more than someone saying basically if we had nukes colonialism would be impossible because we could flatten israel if they tried to attack us "

pretty big stretch to call that a threat
