Iranophobia - Israeli Style...and about face

(http://jta.org/news/article/2009/04/06/1004286/early-sings-netanyahu-seeking-to-shake-things-up)

Will this xenophobic madman who dreams of a nuclear holocaust, and with a utter aversion to dialogue, actually try to get in over his head here?

Obama is clearly sending out conciliatory signals as to the importance of dialogue and a renewed relationship based on mutual respect towards the Iranian people. His conditions for that are also clear.

And all we have from the Knesset is war talk.

Furthermore, Netanyahu seems intent on creating more tension with the Palestinians and Syria. Poor Israel.

Any comments?

Havent they already been attacking Iranian plants and factories? I wonder what would happen if Iran did the same.

That is far from the truth.

War, but what's your point? I'm certainly not in favor of bombing Iran, but there is no equality among nations, some are worse than others.

In your eyes, some may be worse than others, but respect of international borders is an integral part of international law

 

Not sending weapons to black-listed terrorists groups is another.

At least Israel is open about what they do.

 

Oh?

What does this mean?

 

I think its all very good. Finally, the Israeli government is one which represents the people. Much better to deal openly with them than with some "peace" promoting "left" that talks one thing and actually does another. This is the real Israel, masks off.

 

Its not as integral as respect for international borders, but ya thats part of unternational law too. However, some dont apply the law to Israel as they do to Iran. For some reason, it is ok for Israel to bomb Iran using its military, not some random militias, over and over and its ok for the US to send covert ops, not some random militia, to undermine the regime through various actions, but when Iran supports Hamas, a democratically elected government of a people, then suddenly international law is touted. Funny. Whens the last time Iran actually used its military to bomb Israel? Or the US?

 

The question is one of causality.

Israel existed...Iran unceasingly has supplied enemies of Israel with weapons at almost no cost to the militia.

Look into history, when did American conflicts with Iran begin? After the creation of the state, the first issues were caused as a result of what? Irani support for the destruction of Israel. Iran IS THE AGGRESSOR historically and therefore American and Israeli counter-units were and are retaliation. After 50 years of said behavior they're now deemed preventative. Though Iran has never bombed another sovereign nation, they've armed the men who have. They've repeatedly broken international laws...when THEY BREAK INTERNATIONAL LAW the UN is supposed to enforce the punishment. The UN doesn't because Islamic nations in the UN Veto every action they can...the sanctions never worked because the nations didn't abide by the sanctions. Thus the international law falls into the hands of Israel and the US and often Britain.

According to International law...Iran shouldn't be a legal state after its list of infractions. Should Israel be one? Yes, it's infractions were only said-violations of the Human Rights Declaration...not those of Military operations against local nations. Iran as a nation is consistently breaking International law...therefore the quote from George Bush comes to mind "We tried the UN, it hasn't worked in the past so we took it into our own hands.".

 

It means he worries that a nuclear Iran will destroy Israel.

 

I think after the US had Mossadeq killed and replaced with a ruthless dictator.

Gimme links to all this.

 

Ya, even though its not true. On the other hand, members of the Israeli government have repeatedly encouraged new holocausta nd mass murders of other people.

 

Nonsense.

 

Fair enough.

Can you give some examples of:

 

No. It means he has an itchy trigger finger.

 

No one wants war, and attacking Iran would not be any benefit to Israel unless it prevented something greater than a regional war, namely the total destruction of Israel.

 

So what do you think he wants to achieve with his aggressive rhetoric?

 

I don't really support the guy, but perhaps he just wants to warn Iran.

 

Look at all the local nazis having a song'n'dance around Khameini and his poodle Ahmedishithead. Just admit it - you're getting a hard on at the thought of these 2 having a nuke.

 

If that would stop Israel and the US from attacking Iran constantly then Im all for Iranian nukes. Somehow nukes deter bullies. But Im afraid even the Iranians themselves do not want nukes.
