"Wipe Israel off the map" is actually a very crude translation. A better translation would be something like "We want to redraw the map without Israel." "Wipe off the map" has connotations of destruction in English; the phrase actually used implies more a redrawing of borders.
It still shows a desire to get rid of Israel as a state. It may not mean that Iran wants to kill all Jews, but they do still want to destroy the state of Israel, which is the Jewish homeland.
