kactus

Since the whole sexual affair and rape accusation against him started in 2007 which subsequently led to his resignation from the post the media has been on his case since. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7952687.stm And a bit of background about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moshe_Katsav

And there's evidently very little difference between demonising Islam for the actions of the few muslims and haterd of the whole nation! It works both ways and unless one takes off the tinted glass and see the argument from both sides then I will consider it biased and will argue against! As for the rest of your comment, I'm afraid it has no relevance to the topic on this thread, which concerns the misquoted comments on Israel.

It's interesting that people call muslims who practise that religion as evils even though there may be christians that have converted to islam. So in essence all those that followed islam not even muslims you have problem with. In that sense you can take the same brush and label all muslim countries from Morroco to Indonesia as practicing evil religion. Infact whilst you''re at it the whole 1.2 billion muslim population is now the subject of discrimination. Same kind of prejudices that was shown towards jews during the WWII only this time the focus is on muslims. But as soon as one mentions zionism then the anti semitism card shows up!!! Sad!

You're absolutely Spot on Jerry! Only thing I woulds say is this: It's zionism that is the "new" USSR. Remember back in the sixties the commies were Amercia's no 1 enemy? Communism is long gone but Russia is still there. That's exactly what Ahmadinejad was quoted saying "this corrupted zionist regime must be removed from pages of time" not "another country to be wiped off thew map!"

There's not going to be a war................ Isreal is not that stupid to take on Iran... and neither is Iran...

Regardless of the numbers that died by the nazis in WWII the terror and mass murder caused by the paws of Nazism is a tragedy for the mankind to be remembered! But there is a second tragedy, a post-tragic tragedy! And that is the objectification and commercialisation of the ”holocaust” in the hands of the ultra-orthodox Zionists who intend to milk this golden cow for as long as possible to nourish their political agendas! It is much easier to justify your own injustice and intolerance by an injustice and intolerance you’ve been put through! An eye for an eye is justifiable, but not an eye for no eye! Ironically this very same movement who intend to aid the Jewish community in its defence, manages to contribute and consolidate the "anti-Semitism" and prejudices against their people!

Hezbollah is an entity. Iran on the other hand is a sovereign nation with government! The question still stands!

Amen to that! Best of british to ya!

Not at all! Here's what I wrote: To you or anyone else for that matter provide with facts that Iran attacked or invaded another country in the last century.

Your comments are irrelevant! To you or anyone else for that matter provide with facts that Iran attacked or invaded another country in the last century. Next time go easier on sexing things up!

The funny thing is that arabs and jews are both semites and yet there is a connection between arabs and nazis! Oh and ofcourse those devil eyeranians. Geez! I almost forgot they are there to get da joos! Lol!

You genuinely think so? I mean the topic of conversation to this was foregn policy politics and Ahmadinejad and now you're extending this to the whole of the iranian population??? OK...I have nothing more to say in this regard. Question is rhetorical but just imagine the consequences of such action by Israel? We are talking REALPOLITIK not some wishful thinking. Based on what? Susbtantiate please! I mean I don't know where you live and I don't really need to. But how are iraninans danger to you? No, he didn't say that! Using the same analogy first off Ahmadinejad is not the man in charge if you konw the power of command in Iran. So the gun (if proven that that there is a gun in the first place) essentially is not his. Second, I will reiterate this point. What gives you the indication that Iran will attack Israel? I have heard so many hypothesises from people telling me that it's not Iran that will attack. The nukes will fall in the hands of others etc, etc, etc...If they wanted to attack Israel they could have done so directly already without even having the nukes. Third to this date there is no evidence that Iran has a nuclear bomb. So again where do you get the proof that they have it and indeed there will be an attack on Israel? Unfortunately, the media on both sides is to blame for sensationalising the news. They know exactly what they are doing. It's cold and calculated by raising the patriotic sentiment and breed extremism on both sides.

These are two separate statements and unrelated! Iran's attack on Osirak has nothing to do with Iran/ Iraq war. They happened at different times. So not sure what you're getting at apart from glorifying IDF!?

There's just a tad bit of problem with such comment! Iran even to date has the largest number of jewish community in the ME outside Israel. Israel has been trying to offer them incentives to come to Israel or immigrate to the US but they love Iran and are staying there. So by suggesting blowing Iran off the planet and let's be clear making your intention by "wiping another country off the map" will results to the death of iranians as well as jews. C'mmon we can all raise above that...It's old, rhetoric and lame! Wrong wrong and wrong again! Go and read those statements before making bold assumptions!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! It's all the faults of those evil Eyeranians! They want to wipe Israel off the map! Kill da joos! Didn't you know it's even written in the old testament! They are coming to get us! Armaggedon is near! LOOOL!

Yeeha! Ladies and gentelmen and here's your WWE tack team Dancing Queen and Doggie Pooh! Give me five!

You missed the point! It's not the soviets that I associate with the sales of arms to Iraq. Rather you implying that only 20% of arms came from the west or as you put it France only. I find that hard to believe which is why I question those stats unless you can substantiate on the claim. And are you telling me Rummy's handshake with Saddam in 1982 two years into the Iran/ Iraq war was just a coincidence. It looks more rather like shovelling some more arms contract up Sadam's arse!

You're walking on a shaky ground here! First you said no involvement of the west now admittedly the french connection. % does not mean anything here whilst a lot more of these weapons can be traced to the west

Iran's nuclear program is not a danger to UK, Canada or US for that matter. It's for Israel losing its nuclear monopoly status in the ME. Israel with all the hypes about their air superiority alone is not capable to destroy all the undeground facilities in Iran which is why they are trying the iranian nuclear issue an international issue and engage other countries.

http://www.fff.org/comment/com0406g.asp http://www.brucekelly.com/saddam-hussein-iran.html I would have thought that geo-politics of the region would place France in the heart of Europe (the West) although some would argue otherwise. Nevermind! Errrm after what you stated earlier...No thanks! Yup as expected a bunch of drivel!

First off it's not the question of wether I disagree with you or don't. Afterall, we all have misconceptions and different opinions on this issue and whilst you're entitled to yours I will stand firm on how I read this. My point still stands. If you wanna brag on about how strong and mighty the Israeli air power is then why is it that they issue daily threats to attack Iran's nuclear facilities and seek to engage americans (BIG BROTHER) in this war on terror? If they're so powerful as you claim they are they can deal with it alone. People claim Iran's nuclear power is a danger to the rest of the world or atleast that's what the media feeds us 24/7. It may be a danger to Israel as Israel will lose its monopoly status in the Middle East it has enjoyed for many years but it doesn't affect me here in the UK nor Canada nor amercian citizens for that matter. Anyway this is a hypothesis as Iran doesn't even have a nuclear bomb to this date. You're also missing the fact that during the eight year war between Iran and Iraq the west armed Saddam's regime to the teeth to fight against Iran. Whilst Saddam gassed his own people and Iranian kurds back in the late 80s with the weapons provided by the west the whole world remained silent and put a zip on it! In essence, Iran was fighting the whole world not just Iraq and Saddam was then an ally of the west to sell the weapons . You wanna give me credibility you better read about Iran/ Iraq war. Second of all what is it with this nonesense that you guys talk about allah at every opportunity? I recall that lunatic Bush when he was still in the office made the same bold statements when he said GOD was on his side. So what? Allah is to the arabs god to you me and the rest of the world. IMO extremism on either side breeds extremism and we have plenty of our share here in the west in the form of some of our leaders.

BS! Palestinian children seeking refuge in the schools under the supervision of the UN get bombed by the israeli raids. Hmmm! yes it's all because of Hammas forcing them to stay in school

Above post is a typical example of hot airs with just lots of pride for their country. Quite frankly have seen it so many times and it's quite typical of the usuall suspects! I'm so glad that non of you are sitting on the hot button in making decisions for foreign policies! Can't imagine the catastrophes! Better stick to the argument that .... my garden is bigger than yours la bla bla ... to massage your ego than talking about iranian military strenghth. Tell yourself this what if Iran is such a weak country militarily then why so much talk about her and banging on about how powerful and mighty USrael airforce is to deal with it. If USsrael airforce is powerful enough to deal with the so called threat then there's no reason to brag on and on and on about it or maybe it's the typical "da joooooooos paranoia". Anyway, coming back to the topic at hand. President Ahmadinejad has not threatend to "wipe Israel off the map" contrary to the popular belief amongst those wishing to believe. As I have stated before US has threatened the communist USSR in the past. Wishing the demise of the policies of USSR did not tantamount to the existence of ordinary russians. Anyone can see that!
