Israel has an expiration date

Very scary way to put it

I've read this article a few times now, and I think that there's a major translation flaw.

I don't think that "expiration" is being used in the "expire" (or "end") sense. I think it's being used in the "deadline" sense.

That's a really significant difference in meaning. Along the lines of Khrushchev's "We will bury you" comment - by which he (erroneously) meant that Communism would outlast Capitalism, not that Communism would destroy/kill Capitalism.
