Iran’s Words Mistranslated Again by Americans Trying to Start a War
Most Americans confuse zionism and Judaism.
While many assume that zionism simply means allowing the Israeli nation to exist, many zionists in high positions within the Netanyahu and Sharon administrations advocate for very different policies altogether, including the use of offensive wars throughout the Middle East. See this, and read the section entitled “Securing the Realm” here.
In reality, many devout Jews are against zionism as being antithetical to traditional Jewish values. As such, many Jews say that criticizing zionism is not anti-semitism. … and some zionists themselves admit that even non-Jews have the right to criticize Israel.
Zionists can be also be Christian. Indeed, millions of fundamentalist Christians – including many in the American military - want to start WWIII to speed the “second coming” of Jesus Christ.
As such, the common practice of American politicians and media of interchanging Iran’s words about the “zionist regime” with the word “Israel” is disingenuous. For example, AP reported today:
Israel‘s existence is an “insult to all humanity,” Iran’s president said Friday ….”The existence of the Zionist regime is an insult to all humanity,” Ahmadinejad said.
Criticizing a particular “regime” in Israel is akin to criticizing the “Bush administration” or the “Obama administration”. For example, saying that Bush should have been impeached is not calling for the American government to be overthrown.
Similarly, the AP story repeated the old canard:
Tensions between Iran and Israel have intensified since 2005, when Ahmadinejad said in a speech that Israel will one day be “wiped off the map.”
As a New York Times translation notes, Ahmadinejad wasn’t referring to Israel at all, but to the “regime” – i.e. the current political administration – in Israel.
Moreover, it was not Ahmadinejad himself speaking. He was quoting Ayatollah Khomeini, who died in 1989 (and who looked exactly like Sean Connery’s long-lost twin).
People can debate whether zionism is helpful or counter-productive, or which form of zionism is best. But interchanging zionism and Israel without explanation is misleading.
And anti-semitism is wholly unacceptable, as is prosecution of Christians, Muslims or anyone else for their religion or race.
But whatever Iran’s faults, the fact is that:
- The U.S. has been looking for an excuse to bomb Iran again for many decades
- The U.S. funds terrorist groups within Iran
- Iran protects Jews, and it’s constitution officially recognizes their rights (scroll to bottom; on the other hand, our close ally Saudi Arabia is virulently anti-semitic, and is the main backer of terrorism in the Middle East and abroad)
- The American media is always pro-war, and happily trumpets disinformation about supposed enemies to drum up support for new wars

"[Shahak] concludes that "there can no longer be any doubt that the most horrifying acts of oppression in the West Bank are motivated by Jewish religious fanaticism." He quotes from an official exhortation to religious Jewish soldiers about Gentiles, published by the Israeli army's Central Region Command in which the chief chaplain writes: "When our forces come across civilians during a war or in hot pursuit or a raid, so long as there is no certainty that those civilians are incapable of harming our forces, then according to the Halakhah (the legal system of classical Judaism) they may and even should be killed ... In no circumstances should an Arab be trusted, even if he makes an impression of being civilised ... In war, when our forces storm the enemy, they are allowed and even enjoined by the Halakhah to kill even good civilians, that is, civilians who are ostensibly good."

I suggest you study your heart and motives GW. It seems to me you have a predisposed agenda and there is innate hate in almost everything you post here. Newsflash: This is a very imperfect world, by Christian definition. Israel is a deeply flawed State. However, any flaws of the Israeli government pale in comparison to the imbedded Evil of fundamental islamic regimes like Iran. I fear you lack a moral foundation that allows you to differentiate flaws from Evil. At least be honest about your agenda with yourself and your audience. And good luck to you in this short journey.
The only difference between modern Israel and Germany circa 1944 is that modern Israel has not enacted the final solution to the Palestinian problem. Establish and maintain an homogenous ethnic state... check; Place dissident ethnic minorities in ghettos and exploit there labor... check; enforce and ethnic / religious basis for citizenship... check; destruction and seizure of the assets of the ethnic minorities... check. You go ahead and try to explain the difference between 2012 Israel and 1942 Germany... that is Germany before the "Final Solution." Go ahead, point out one difference between the way in which Israel has treated Palestinians and Germany treated Jews prior to the Final Solution... ONE DIFFERENCE!
The evil that is Iran's government pales in comparison to the evil of Israel's government.
If there were Nobel Prizes in evil, Israel's politicians would earn a disproportionate number.
Just as the Jews do in the sciences.
That's all you got? The more red arrows, the prouder I am sissy boys. My people have chunks of guys like you in our stool. Kiss my ass you NSA, climate-change, anti-business, welfare-society, big-Government retards, (Hangover pronuciation). And God bless.

Fairy tales are for children, you pathetic weakling....
Everything I do is motivated by love, sir:
There is a real misunderstanding of what it means to be courageous.
In America, courage is often thought of as a testosterone-driven
toughness. There’s nothing the matter with testosterone. Masculinity is a
great thing. But many American men secretly fear that they don’t have
sufficient testosterone to really be brave when the chips are down. Even
those of us who think of ourselves as brave men usually only act like
that when we know it is within the bounds of safety, within the limits
of what we can handle.
We might jump into a bar room brawl to protect our buddy, but that’s
because we know we’re only going to get knocked around a little bit —
nothing but bruises that will go away in a little while. The stakes just
aren’t that high.
But most American men secretly doubt whether they are macho enough to
pull it off under fire. They may watch alot of action movies, and talk
tough, and stand up when its not really dangerous (or when they clearly
outgun the other guy), but they are secretly terrified that they don’t
have quite enough backbone to pull it off against the big boys, such as tyrants.
I would argue that this view fundamentally misunderstands the nature of courage, and ensures that we will never have true courage when it counts.
By way of analogy, the word “discipline” comes from “disciple”. If
you are a true “disciple” of an idea of a plan or a strategy or a
religion, then you will stick to it and “have discipline” to reach your
goal. It is not just a matter of willpower; it is also devotion to
something bigger than ourselves.
Similarly, the word “courage” comes from the French “with heart”. Why does it have this root meaning? Because it takes heart
to act bravely. That’s how my childhood Karate teacher used the word:
when I was practicing with courage, power and focus, he would say “you
have alot of heart today” (indeed, many old-school warriors use the
phrase “fighting with heart” in that way).
If courage is acting “with heart”, we’ve lost heart. And without heart, we cannot face the truth.
So how do we regain our heart? Well, let’s start with what gets our hearts beating.
Remember that the mother bear is one of the fiercest animals of all.
Just get between a mother bear and her cub and you’ll see what I mean.
It is her love of her cub which gives her the heart to face any enemy
when her cub is threatened. It is not her level of testosterone, but
rather her love for her cub which makes her so fierce.
Just as discipline is more than just willpower, courage stems from
something bigger than just cajones. In fact, the strongest courage comes
from the love of something we care about, since our heart will sustain
us even when the chips are really down and we are really up against a
tyrant. As the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said: “Being deeply
loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives
you courage. “
In addition, we’re no longer living in the old west. Individualism is
very important in numerous ways, but we can only win against the
tyrants as a team, as a community, as a nation. And only by opening our
hearts to what matters will we be able to work together, to fight for
all of our kids, and all of our freedom. Only then will we be able to
put the crooks and the looters and the tyrants back in the box.
Do we care about our kids, our significant others, our parents, our
friends? Do we care about the freedom to choose what we want, instead of
having our “great leader” choose for us?
If not, what DO we care about? Because if that is where your heart is, that is what will give you courage.
I care too much about my kids and their future to be afraid. I care
enough about them that it gets my heart beating, connects me to
something bigger than myself, and that gives me courage, even when the chips are down.
Courage is an innate human quality. It is within each of us, waiting
to reveal itself when we open our hearts. When we act with heart, by
definition, we are courageous.
Well said GW, well said. Truth has no meaning to most anymore, except the the Old School. I salute you.
Brave words,Mr Washington.
I made a stop, at the,words said by this old Chineese man Lao Tzu:
And i made it,rest for a while,inside,to cheew it:
And then this came out,would he then, might say today, as i do:
Do you realy hate this planet that much,and each other,that you are prepared to let go up in a Nuclear cloud,just because somebody can?
Just beceause some spoilled kids,has got the Matches,aint no difference between Kings and todays leaders,they all send young people out to die,just as always,for wealth and power,and your right,most people are cowards today:
The gunship killing from Irak is an outstanding example on cowardishm,and By by miss American pie,an other,the drones talks for them self!
Always good to read your thoughts!
GW, you remind me of the mayor in The Music Man. You seem to delight in pontificating and, (vrey annoyingly), quote your own blog ad nauseum. You'd be a lot more credible if all the links for the items you cite didn't lead back to your web page. Have a nice weekend.
He would also have more credibility if he looked into how Iran gets around the "religious technicality" of legally putting to death virgins in an Islamic state.
Basically, rape is not rape if sanctioned by the state to meet its ends.
But of course, I stray too far from the current meme put forward by GW, Americans are fools.
Apologies to all ;-)
GW feeds us with fact and logic, which no mayor worth his political salt will EVER dare produce in from of his constituents.
His selling points are flashy rhetoric and inuendo and promises! Thats what a politician is.
Talk is cheap. Blah, blah, blah. Community and charity counts And I'm not talking about an internet community of non-productive, lay-abouts. But like I said, good luck. It is never too late.
Fuck you, loathesome piece of shit.

kamikaze mos sad
rather a divine fart
Very insightful comment. I'm sure you are a real hit at cocktail parties.
Don't tell Matt Drudge.
GW you are stupid idiot. Israel is a Zionist state, that's the definition of what Zionism is. How can you have state of Israel without Zionism? An attack on Zionism is an attack on Israel. It's straightforward.
I'll be your Huckleberry. Zionism is a poltical belief akin to Nazism in almost every respect: to establish a homogenous ethnic / religious state; to seek Liebenraum / expand Israel to its "historic borders;" to place ethnic minorities in ghettos, seize their property, and not allow them to properly practice their religious beliefs. The question is: what type of nation shall Israel be: one that respects property and the rights of minorities and makes good faith attempts to live in peace with her neighbors; or a Nazi state that seeks expansion through war and conquest, the subjugation or annhilation of other ethnic groups, and the suppression of all ideas that run counter to orthodox religious / political views. Does this explain the difference clearly enough?
Let's attack both Zionism and Israel, then...
Definitions don't dissuade this red arrow crowd. But you are, obviously, correct. If one of your 30+ disapprovers wants to weigh in on why you are wrong I would be mildly interested.
See my comments above. I'll be your Huckleberry.
You should write your very own dictionary Sparky. Or you can pull your head out of your ass and look up the actual definition of Zionism.

Your tirade of a "Jew behind every tree" is growing irksome. I'm sure the jews are behind the Cubbies repeated failures, behind the Countrywide fiasco, behind the Californima municipal bankrupties, and orbably even behind the mid-west drought.
And having been of those mindless blivets in the military i don't know of a single one who looked forward to starting another war to hasten the second Coming of Christ. Not One. I do know of several who read shi_ like this and come knocking on your door to prevent the spread of this verbal cancer.
Grow up, get outside, start a garden, have a good glass of wine, and quit huffing the roach spray.
You are confused badly. He said nothing whatsoever either for or against jews.
Nice demonstration of numbers 1, 11, 12 and 14
GW's bogus first sentence says all. Historically, Jews are Red or Zionist...but today they tend to be both. On the one hand, for example, demanding that America "Welcome the Stranger": via the White-destroying black/brown immigration rackets...while vis a vis Israel the selfsame Jews massacre the Palestinians and deport the Blacks. Face it. America today has the worst Jew-problem endured by any nation in 3,000 years. Hollywood/MSM kosher culture of death. Kosher crime-lobby legal system. JeWall Street-driven debt-drowned Ponziconomy. Both parties owned and controlled by the same Jewbux. And did I mention foreign policy? One bloody Zionist/petrodollar war after another, aka the "War on Terror"...now exposed as a complete scam by the Isramerica-driven bloodbath in Syria, and the upcoming IranWar.
you do realise that GW differentiates between the jew race and the zionist regime; just as previously Mandela differentiated between apartheid regime and the boer people. THe first was abhorrent to Mandela the second are now part of new SA he presided over.
It s important that those who defend core western civilisation, steeped in secular values, do not mix these issues. We can be against regime never against a people. I know you avatar is not mainstream west, but just saying, in case your seig heil facade feels compassionate and steeped in conventional logic over here.
Outstanding blog post, and speaking of the State Department....
A WikiLeaks Primer
Originally, WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange fled Iceland as he was under surveillance by business-suited strangers, plus he was tipped off by the bank where the WikiLeaks’ account was located that they had been approached by US government personnel.
In Sweden, Assange was immediately approached by a Bonnier family publication for exclusive rights in publishing WikiLeaked documents. Assange declined their offer, both against the principle of exclusivity, and because he’d been advised that the publication was similar to Rupert Murdoch’s British tabloids; not necessarily respectable.
It is important to understand that the Bonnier family is a major European media family (Bonnier AB is one of the 10 largest media companies in the world), who’s ownership extends to American publications such as Sports Illustrated, Popular Science, Time, etc.
The woman who first approached Assange for consensual sex, Anna Ardin, worked for one of the Bonnier family publications, and while her present source of income is difficult to determine, she appears to be surviving nicely. Ardin would later approach the second young lady, Sofia Wilen (who also had consensual sex with Assange), to accompany her to the police.
The law firm which volunteered to represent the two women is comprised of two law partners, Claes Borgstrom, who has two sisters who work for Bonnier family companies, and Thomas Bodstrom, who publishes through the Bonnier family media company (he writes legal fiction).
Bodstrom was also the Swedish Minister of Justice who had OK’ed the CIA’s illegal kidnapping of several Swedish citizens of Arabic origin --- also called extreme rendition --- who were transported to Egypt for torture (and what could have led to murder), but were eventually released and sued the Swedish government in Swedish courts, winning a financial judgment against them.
Sweden claims it would never allow extradition to any country with a legalized death penalty, yet by allowing extreme renditions to such countries, we know this to be a lie.
Originally when the women approached the police, a junior prosecutor on duty ordered Assange to remain in Sweden, but the Swedish Prosecution Authority shortly dropped all charges as they had no merit.
Later, after allowing Assange to leave Sweden, and due to political pressure from the highest levels of government, the Swedish Prosecution Authority resumed the case without merit, seeking Assange’s extradition, solely for questioning, in violation of both existing Swedish law, and the regulations pertaining to issuing European Union arrest warrants (two very important points!).
During those early events in Sweden, Anna Ardin had chat message traffic with reporters for a Bonnier family tabloid, Expressen, which indicated criminal conspiracy and malfeasance on her part, and while her attorney, Claes Borgstrom, illegally directed her to delete this evidence, she forgot to delete the copy from her blog site, later downloaded by an enterprising Australian journalist.
Unfortunately, this has received scant attention or reportage in the corporate media.
Later, the other law partner and former Justice Minister, Thomas Bodstrom, went on a book tour in America, where he routinely spread disinformation about the WikiLeaks/Assange case.
Much of the time Bodstrom stayed at a residence in Virginia, a short drive from the CIA’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
A curious coincidence, or logistical necessity?
The present Justice Minister, Beatrice Ask, who resurrected the extradition case against Assange, was originally appointed to her cabinet positions by Carl Bildt, the former Swedish prime minister who is presently the Swedish foreign minister.
Carl Bildt appears unfavorably mentioned in several WikiLeaked cables, and was a director at Lundin Petroleum during their involvement in massacres of Sudanese living on oil-rich land in that African country.
Later, in America, a relatively unknown author named Jaclyn Friedman, would attempt to publicize the consensual sex case against Assange as rape charges. Friedman’s web site, at that time, displays her boasting of enjoying sex with multiple male partners in a given week’s time, although at times Ms. Friedman claims to be an avowed lesbian?
Perhaps more troubling is that Ms. Friedman was published through Perseus Books, which at that time was owned by the private equity firm, Perseus LLC, which was also listed as the business address, for tax purposes, for the American Friends of Bilderberg, Inc., whose directors are listed as David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger and Richard Perle.
The business contact for that group at Perseus LLC and either the firm’s CEO or a senior executive, was James Johnson, a major character featured in a recent book by NY Times financial reporter, Gretchen Morgenstern, cited as playing a major governmental role in the subprime mortgage meltdown.
A Bonnier family member, Elisabet Borsiin Bonnier, was and still may be the Swedish ambassador to Israel.
Quite a bunch of improbable connections pertaining to a strange case of consensual sex?

Thanks, sgt_doom. Do you have links to any source material about Assange, Bonnier etc?
Fantastic information,sgt_doom,thumbs up!
To GW to!
I think all we need to know about whether this is a setup, or he's being framed, or it's a pretext, is very, very simple.
They are trying to prosecute him for FAILING TO WEAR A CONDOM.
That's the best thing these fucking Swiss shrew prosecutors could come up with? They were probably told by the CIA that the US would quit prosecuting their banks for hiding money for wealthy American clients, if they turned over Assange.
That makes a lot more sense than indicting someone for a condom felony.
What Swiss prosecutors (and banks) have to do with Sweden?
Get your bearings. You risk making an idiot of yourself.
Precious,
While agreeing entirely with your sentiments, I think you should know that Sweden and Switzerland are quite different places. The Swiss don't have laws that forbid sex without a condom and nonsense like that. In fact, Switzerland may be the last real democracy in the World - voting is either on local things by local people or by referendum which makes it quite impossible for the Americans to corrupt.
