When you read directly translated speeches, they don't make sense with the word "regime," like when he says, "an illegitimate regime, there is no legal basis for its existence," that means the jewish nation of Israel, not just their government. So when it is put in context, yes, he does advocate the destruction of that nation, quite often.

He doesn't talk about killing jews. Iran is actually home to many jews and is probably one of the best places to be a jew in the Middle East.
Regime means regime. If he wants the eradication of the artificial zionist entity, then i applaud the man. But that has nothing to do with killing jews, it can actually have a lot more to do with justice and democracy. I support as Arafat called for, a democracy of all the land of Palestine where Muslims, Christians and Jews have equal rights. That is the noble position. Anything less is undemocratic and imperialistic.

I am assuming that Khamenei is in charge. Which is the only sensible assumption to make. He was in charge before Ahmadinejad was made President and God willing he will remain so afterwards. As President Ahmadinejad may have influence but he cannot enforce any policy against Khamenei's will.
