>My opinion is that Iran wants either the conversion of every Israeli to Islam or the forced expulsion of every non-Muslim from Israel, or the death of every non-Muslim in Israel.

Isn't this more or less analagous?

We all know that. I don't think we have a disagreement here. But highlighting iran, is missplaced imo as virtually every country in the middle east calls for the same.
