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.



Seems pretty clear to me:

"Why should & how can #Israel be eliminated? Ayatollah Khamenei's answer to 9 key questions."

https://twitter.com/khamenei_ir/status/531366667377717248


"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?
