Comment on As US Slaughters Iranian Kids, Iran Says It Does Not Want to Hurt Americans

They’re also saying “Death to Israel,” but I guess they’re not talking about literal death there either - despite the fact that that’s what’s explicitly stated in the Hadiths. Although it doesn’t talk about Israel but Jews.

A translation would still remain ‘Down with Israel’ in that phrase.

  The literal meaning of the Persian phrase Marg bar Âmrikâ (مرگ بر آمریکا) is “Death to America”.

    ‘Marg’ also means ‘demise’ and ‘damage’ as it isn’t an english word. Point being we have a word that doesn’t directly translate.
