Iran has more oil than US, Mexico, Russia and Norway alltogether and he needs atomic energy - give me a break!

ok so he said isreal should be undone right? how do you do that without destroying isreal?
if you say that it really means that the zionist regime should be removed, who do you want to be in power in isreal? i guarantee anyone who says this wants non-jews to be in power. guess what, jews and muslims have both been in the area for many many generations.
its as ridiculous as saying usa should now give all the land back to the native americans, and we need to get the pro-americans out of power.

The problem with Muslims is that they ask US to think, they don’t realize that we stopped to think since we found these corporations and multinationals that provides US with Loans and Wages and also take FULL care of the THINKING PROCESS FOR US. THEY EVEN TAKE THE TRUBLE OF INFORMING US WHAT TO THINK THROUGH A VARIETY OF TV CHANNELS , NEWSPAPERS, and BOOKS…
Life is not about THINKING NOR ABOUT FINDING THE TRUTH. IS ABOUT GETTING WAGES TILL YOU DIE. …
Ahmadinejab is apparently a psycho & 2 face. First he wants to death to Israel & then he wants peace with Israel, while simultenuously repressing Israel in every words and deeds. Yeah.., I'd say he is worse than Hiltler.

"Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves... The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country."

"Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories."

jimiydoorshamlech is still deliberately misreading Rafsanjani's quote where he states that while ultimately Iran will have nukes, it would not be in their best interests to use them against Israel.
jimiydoorshamlech is on a deliberate campaign to defame Iran and dupe the stupid goy American public into favoring an attack on Iran for Israel. Don't fall for it. We already fell for their lies about Iraq and 6 years later we are still there.

Zionism was condemned by the UN sec Council in 1975 for being racist. So yeah send those fuckers on a holiday and let the Israeli's and Jews live in peace.
By 1890, the number of Jews who had settled in Palestine reached 50,000 and, by 1907, numbered 100,000. In Jerusalem alone the Jews numbered more than 25,000, out of a total population in the city of only 40,000 Jews, Christians and Arabs.
This is what happens when Americans and Brits, and other English speaking countries, choose to be ignorant of not only anything foreign but basically anything non-English. That brief clip in the first part of this video of those stupid yapping celebrities, or whoever they are, cracking a cheap joke about Ahmadinejad's name is a lucid example of this. I don't support him but international and cross-cultural relations in the 21st should hardly be hindered by mere language barriers.
If one day, the Islamic world is also equipped with weapons like those that Israel possesses now, then the imperialists' strategy will reach a standstill because the use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything. However, it will only harm the Islamic world. It is not irrational to contemplate such an eventuality. (December 2001)[31] (Hashemi Rafsanjani, former President of Iran, Currently on expediency council of Iran, Considered a Moderate)
All they have to do is buy wheapons that is,I think there to cheap .. they want some one else to supply them. Your right if the muslums had a bomb, they would use it. that is how crasy and stupid they are..

If one day, the Islamic world is also equipped with weapons like those that Israel possesses now, then the imperialists' strategy will reach a standstill because the use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything.

Ever heard of the Monroe Doctrine? Paraphrased, it says that if anyone messes with American economy or interests, we (America) will kick their ass. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor for this very reason. America was embargoing steel and other resources that were hurting the Japanese economy and national interests. This is just ONE example of the double standard America lives by.
TEHRAN 14 Dec. (IPS) One of Irans most influential ruling cleric called Friday on the Muslim states to use nuclear weapon against Israel,
"One of Mr. Rafsanjanis main characteristics in Iranian politics is that in order to preserve himself, he is ready to set fire to all the Caesareas for one handkerchief, including, presently, providing Israel with enough pretext to attack Iran", ".said Mr. Ahmad Salamatian. , a veteran political analyst based in Paris.
Forbes magazine at one time listed Rafsanjani in their list of richest people in the world and has written that as the real power behind the Iranian government, he "has more or less run the Islamic Republic for the past 24 years.
LONDON - Gulf states believe Israel will destroy Iran's nuclear programme rather than allow it to acquire an atomic bomb, an adviser to the Kuwaiti government and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) said on Tuesday.
If Iran did build the bomb, said adviser Sami Alfaraj, then Israel might be one of the countries -- along with the US and Pakistan -- Gulf Arab nations would ask to provide a "nuclear umbrella" to guarantee their security.
Last time i checked, Iran has a much larger population then Israel. Iran has 25,000 jews, but Israel has one million arab muslims..and even Arabs in the government. After Ahmedinejad gave his speech, reporters asked him about "wipe Israel off the map". He didn't correct them. He agreed with that
fairly logical considering that where Israel lies now was formerly inhabited by Arabs no?And believe me there were a whole lot more before the Zionists came in....
One fact cannot be disputed - Ahmadinejad's statement that "the Jerusalem-occupying regime must be erased from the page of time" was interpreted by Persian-language bloggers - without exception - as meaning the physical destruction of the State of Israel.
Terrific job, at a very right time indeed :) Watch out for the movie Persepolis coming with more of the same old demonization fashionably presented in French.

Why can't Fox, CNN and MSNBC conduct even the slightest bit of investigative journalism? I have to turn to the internet to get the truth. How sad.
