Umm, yes we can ignore that part because he didn't fucking say it. It was spin by the media. Loads of professors in the Farsi language have confirmed that it was a mis translation and what he said is that the
"Zionist regieme from Israel should be wiped from the pages of time"
When we wanted to wipe Communism from the pages of time, we didn't want to wipe Russia off the map.
Official translation: The Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem (een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods) must [vanish from] the page of time (bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad) or .بايد از صفحه روزگار محو شود
