I can't understand why this newspaper would make such an outrageous claim and cite tweets which very clearly disprove the point just made. Am I missing something, or does the Ayatollah not call for genocide in those tweets?
To those downvoting, I urge you to read the tweets linked. If I am wrong, simply quote the portion of these tweets which specifically makes a call for genocide and I will be delighted to be proven wrong.
"What does elimination of Israel mean in the viewpoint of Imam Khomeini?"
"The only means of bringing Israeli crimes to an end is the elimination of this *regime*. And of course the elimination of Israel *does not mean the massacre* of the Jewish people in this region. The Islamic Republic proposed a practical & logical mechanism for this to international communities."
I have a hard time understanding why so many people equate Israel with Israelis. Many people are opposing the Chinese government. Do you also equate their calls to end China's government with a call to genocide against all Chinese?
