Let's go over a few points concerning "wiping Israel off the map."
- He believes that Jews should never have been given a state in the Arab world. That it is a great cause of conflict between the east and the west.
- He questions why the people of Palestine, who had absolutely noting to do with WW2, lost most of their land to Jews who fled Europe.
- His statements that Israel will no longer exist one day are not meant to imply a violent death to Jews, but a belief that Europe or the US will establish a new home for Israel outside of the Arab world.
It's very important that Americans do not buy into the media and government spin on his words. Stuff like this is what drums up support for wars that people end up regretting.
