Israel’s Hidden Persuaders
Khaleej Times / Richard Silverstein (World View)
23-May-2009 (8 comments)

Despite the ballyhoo of the recent Aipac national policy conference in Washington, when Israel-US bonds were feted, relations between the two countries are currently more strained than at any time since 1991. That was when the elder George Bush, as US president, fiercely lobbied Yitzchak Shamir to join in the Madrid peace conference. Relations then reached their nadir when James Baker uttered his infamous remark about Israel’s American-Jewish supporters: “…they don’t even vote for us.”

Nothing that you say or do is legitimate.

Your blind support of illegitimate and illegal expansion of settlements by Israel makes you illegitimate.

Your blind hatred of Iranian nation, of which you ILLEGITIMATELY call yourself part of makes you as such.

Israeli ILLEGITIMATE call of Amalek on Iran makes her existential threat to entire world.

So lets not talk about legitimacy shall we?

Capt-ayhab,   

It’s a legitimate question, answer it!

    Ostaad,  

“Dude”, why do you get mad every time anyone mentions anything about the IRI regime, which has been oppressing the Iranian people, destroying Iran and causing chaos and terrorism all around the world for 30 years now? Are you a supporter of the regime? Are you on its payroll?

 

Furthermore, Israel had great relations with Iran prior to 1979, and Persian and Jews had great Historical relationships. The animosity started when your beloved IRI regime, acting based on early Islamic traditions, started an irrational animosity with Israel. It thought it was following Prophet Mohammad’s campaign against the Jews in Khyber. IRI started the animosity and Israel is defending itself against an IRI aggression. Also, it’s about dominating the region.

 

Your character has two rods in them (you get an extra name)..They start with A@@ and H@@@.

  

GO FIGURE.

The future looks scarier than I thought

Thanks for posting this article it was an eye opener. Israel is capable to start a new war in Middle East and will try to involve United States (us) too. This war would be a disaster for the American (our) interests in Middle East.

It has nothing to do with IRI

IRI is a dictatorship, no buts ifs or ands about it. And it’s up to the Iranian people inside Iran to deal with it. But the animosity between Iran and Israel is not about the IRI. It’s about dominating the Middle East. Any regime in Iran; IRI, or another dictatorship, or a democratic regime in Iran will not allow Israel to dominate the ME. Iran is the defacto ME power. Israel doesn’t have the social, economic, and military capacity to dominate anything. And the US is realizing that Israel is becoming a liability. It is just a matter of when not if.

Farhad, are you addicted to...

by Ostaad on Sat May 23, 2009 04:01 PM PDT

Dude, why do you constantly get bent out of shape anytime someone mentions AIPAC and/or the Apartheid regime in Israel?! It's a fact Israel and AIPAC are Iran's enemies and they would treat any regime in Iran the same as they are treating the IRI, if it sought independence and security based on its own power and capabilities. 

You seem to be perfectly happy to cut off your nose despite your face by your blind support for Iran's enemies just because you don't like the current Iran's rulers.

There's a name for characters like you which starts with "T". Go figure.

capt ayhab,

I'm going to ask you the same type of question you ask me:

Why are you obsessed with Israel and AIPAC? Why don't you tell IRI to stop messing with Israel so it can leave our country alone?
