Iran, Israel and the Bomb
2) ISRAEL - TO BLAME FOR IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM?

While Power cites an Israeli 'threat' as the motivation for Iran's nuclear program, in fact Israeli leaders had never challenged Tehran before that program advanced, nor did Israel ever contribute to an armed attack on Iran.

By contrast, the Iranian Mullahs have been clamoring for Israel's demise since the day they seized power in 1979. Witness the Iranians' more recent calls for the extermination of 'the Zionist Entity':

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenai explained in Jan. 2001 that 'the foundation of the Islamic regime is opposition to Israel, and the perpetual subject of Iran is the elimination of Israel from the region.'

Khamenai said in a recent sermon that 'the cancerous tumor called Israel must be uprooted from the region.'

In Dec. 2001, former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani called the establishment of the Jewish state 'the worst event in history,' and declared his intention to decimate Israel, clarifying that 'one bomb is enough to destroy all Israel,' and that 'in due time, the Islamic world will have a military nuclear device.'

Unfortunately, it's not just talk. Iran actively supports anti-Israel terror through Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah. And recall that in January 2002, Iran attempted to smuggle 50 tons of ammunition to Palestinians aboard the ship Karin A. Iran's nuclear program is clearly an extension of that aggression.

2. Name one...
Edited on Mon Sep-27-04 07:08 PM by drdon326



cause it aint israel that has signed TWO peace treaties with Egypt
and Jordan AND has twice come to the aid of Turkey after 2 devastating
earthquakes.


And lets not forget that israel is pretty much the only country in the ME that muslims have the right to vote AND have a higher level of prosperity than most other countries in the area. ( i quess oil money counts, huh?)



edit for clarity

3. where do you find all these ludicrous
sources don? there's a different one each time - love it when people bang on about anti-israeli bias in the media when Israeli casualties are reported 3 to 1 (despite Palestinian dying more than Israeli's 3 to 1) and the fact that EVERY single suicide bombing makes the news in the west but news about each incursion into Palestine and killing of Palestinians has to be weeded out of the independent press.

4. lol
Perhaps rather than attack the sources , you may want to address the
content of the article which is quite devastating....

shoot the messenger.


Maybe ......brace yourself.....its true.

6. What's the article got to do with the I/P conflict?
And, Don. That source is a stinky one that I hope no-one with a right mind believes is in any way credible. Hell, Jerusalem Post looks like a highly liberal and reputable source compared to that cess-pool. Tell you what. Get some articles on Iran that's not from some ranting, frothing at the mouth twits, post them in LBN or the FA forum, and you'll get plenty of folk voicing their opposition to the Iranian regime. Give it a try. You may even like it! There's a wide, wide world of DU outside of this forum :)

12. I'll hope you'll ask Mr. Sagle that same thing
or do you only get upset when the people you disagree with dont read the articles posted?

7. The western media has learnt to its detriment...
That talking about the killing of Palestinians can cause arousal for some folk. So instead of putting it where everyone can see the news, they hide it on highly secret Premium sites where the aroused ones can read in comfort in a hands-free environment ;)

8. I think being a "media patroller" could be kind of fun.
You know, like keeping America safe from the yellow peril?
Or Communism. Or whatever the current "peril" is. Maybe you
get a decoder ring too.
