Iran Calls for All Muslims to Attack Israel

Middle East • Views: 4,149

As Hillary Clinton pressures Israel and vows to work for a Palestinian state, the Islamic supremacists who rule Iran are still clenching: Iran urges world Muslim ‘resistance’ against Israel.

TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called on Wednesday for world Muslims to join the Palestinian “resistance” against Israel as he kicked off a two-day summit in aid of war-torn Gaza.

His statement came as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas and premier Salam Fayyad in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on her first visit to the region since taking office. She had met Israeli leaders in Jerusalem on Tueaday.

“The only way to save Palestine is resistance,” Khamenei said in his address to open the global summit Tehran organised in aid of Gaza and the Palestinians. Support and help to Palestinians is a mandatory duty of all Muslims. I now tell all Muslim brothers and sisters to join forces and break the immunity of the Zionist criminals,” Khamenei said.

And all the finest thugs in the world were in attendance.

Attending this hatefest: Palestinian terrorist Samir Kuntar, Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar and Moussa Abu Marzouk, Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ramadan Salah, and Fatah's Farouk Kadumi, the PLO leader in Tunisia.

Nasrallah was rumored to be there. Hamas thugs were there. Fatah thugs were there.

It was a target-rich audience.

And they were all united on one goal - Israel's destruction.

Support and help to Lebanese Christians is a mandatory duty of all Christians. I now tell all Christian brothers and sisters to join forces and break the immunity of the Islamist criminals, Benedict said.

Note that you've got Hamas and Fatah and Islamic Jihad and Hizbullah all in attendance of this hatefest. They may hate each other, but they're all bound to the same goal - Israel's destruction. Keep that in mind when the terrorists engage in the triangle offense to suck still more "aid" from the West to help out the PA while Hamas keeps firing rockets into Israel with the intent to murder Israelis.

Israel's failure to continue Operation Cast Lead continues to show Israel's political class remains incapable of dealing with the ongoing existential threat to Israel's existence posed by these Islamic terror groups. It's not something that can be merely contained because Hamas doesn't care how many thousands of their own are used as chum. They want to kill Israelis and don't care about the consequences. You can't buy them off either - since the money will go to bigger and better missiles and rockets.

If you doubt where this hatefest aid money will go, that's your answer. Just watch as the next round of the Hamas war results in rockets going ever deeper into Israel - creeping closer to Tel Aviv.

My biggest concern about the next two elections is that too many people will allow their votes (and their souls) to be purchased by Dem handouts. For the Repubs to win, they need 3-4 percent of voters to go the other way. If that happens, a 52-48% loss in 2008 can become a 52-48% win in the next election. I just hope there are enough people out there who are too smart (and have too much character) to allow themselves to be bought and sold like "electoral slaves."

re: #87 buzzsawmonkey

I will remind people that the Arabs who have taken the name "Palestinian" define themselves as "refugees," from the oldest grandam to the youngest babe. Despite the solidity of Gaza City and Ramallah, they refer to these cities as "refugee camps."

By their own definition, their entire lives are bound up in waiting to move somewhere else. There is no reason these international welfare recipients must be moved where they would prefer to go; typically, welfare recipients go where they are moved. They can be moved just as easily to the "Palestinian" state of Jordan, or to Egypt, or to Syria, or to Lebanon--to any or all of these, and/or to any other Muslim Arab country.

Since Yemen thinks they can move their Jews "for their safety", how about relocating Yemeni Jews to Israel, and the Palis to Yemen? And the other Arab countries that kicked out their Jews.

Syria is another place the Chamberlain Obama administration is engaged with. Please read Bret Stephens excellent article in Commentary on why this is yet another shitty idea from the appeasement administration:

The Syria Temptation—and Why Obama Must Resist It

[Link: www.commentarymagazine.com...]

"....it is easy to imagine a scenario in which an ostensibly “demilitarized” Golan, under Syrian sovereignty, is infiltrated by Hizballah while Syria uses demilitarization either as an alibi to do nothing or as a pretext for the re-militarization of the area. If this seems far-fetched, note that Israel is now prepared to acquiesce to a large Egyptian troop presence in the Sinai in order to stop Hamas’s weapons-smuggling into Gaza. By such or similar means, Syria really could transform a deal with Israel into yet another phase in its proclaimed “liberation of Palestine.”

Such considerations all lead to a single conclusion: No “process” between Syria and Israel under U.S. auspices is currently worth having. The regime in Damascus has offered no indication that it is prepared to accept Israel’s right to exist, or respect Lebanon’s sovereignty, or abandon its links to terrorism or to Iran. Instead, for nearly two decades, Syria has offered only indications to the contrary, indications that have multiplied since Bashar Assad came to power almost nine years ago. For Israel to engage in such a process risks its status as a sovereign, self-respecting nation, one that is nobody’s fool. And for the United States to do so risks the diminishment of its status as a serious power and a reliable ally...."

Carter deja vu:

[Link: www.timesonline.co.uk...]

via Backspin

The reporter who knows Jerusalem better than anyone is Nadav Shragai of Ha'aretz.

About 20 years ago, the Jerusalem municipality shored up the water runoff there, and in the open green area (al Bustan, in Arabic), which the Turks and the British took care to preserve for hundreds of years as a public area intended for preservation and development of parks and tourism, an illegal Palestinian outpost arose.

Within 18 years 88 buildings went up there, under the noses of mayors Teddy Kollek and now outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Under former mayor Uri Lupolianski, the construction was halted, after the municipality confiscated tractors and heavy machinery from the lawbreakers.

Last summer the director general of the Antiquities Authority, Shuka Dorfman, noted in a kind of "post mortem" that the construction in the King's Garden caused significant and irreversible damage to antiquities.

I love the way he uses "illegal ... outpost." In this case it's completely justified. And this building is destroying antiquities. (Consider the way the world acts when Israel "disrespects" Muslim holy places but doesn't endanger them!)

re: #77 Kosh's Shadow

0bama told Israel to get out of Gaza before he was inaugurated, or else. But he's going to pull the "or else" anyway.
(No one has confirmed this, but why else would Israel say that they would end Operation Cast Lead by the inauguration? They told us, but in a deniable way, what 0bama was saying.)

Ending Cast Lead was the worst thing Israel could have done at the time since Hamas was on the ropes and no one was looking to help them out. Israel was being pressured to stop by the incoming Administration, and what has Israel gotten in return? Several hundred kassams fired in the latest "cease-fire!" The only difference between this and the situation before Cast Lead is that Israel is responding quicker to the attacks, but they still aren't putting boots on the ground in Gaza to stop the smuggling tunnels that remain Hamas' prime source for obtaining weapons and equipment.

I will remind people that the Arabs who have taken the name "Palestinian" define themselves as "refugees," from the oldest grandam to the youngest babe. Despite the solidity of Gaza City and Ramallah, they refer to these cities as "refugee camps."

By their own definition, their entire lives are bound up in waiting to move somewhere else. There is no reason these international welfare recipients must be moved where they would prefer to go; typically, welfare recipients go where they are moved. They can be moved just as easily to the "Palestinian" state of Jordan, or to Egypt, or to Syria, or to Lebanon--to any or all of these, and/or to any other Muslim Arab country.

True- but they don't want them and will not give them citizenship.
They only want to continue to use them to their own ends.
And the Palistians are on board with this.

true ... but ... i think obama benefitted from the Bush derangement syndrome, which will not be "front and center" in upcoming elections. I think if Michael Steele and the Repubs emphasize how the economy really started tanking when the Dems took over Congress in January 2007, it could be persuasive enough to convince some voters. And I know this is not a popular sentiment on this board, but McCain would have come much closer had he not chosen Sarah Palin as VP. If we see a ticket with the likes of Romney and another fiscally responsible and defense-oriented person of principle, they'll have a chance in 2012. I think we'll get a sense of that in 2010 if the Repubs chip away at the DEM advantages in Congress and the Senate.

Isreal is never going to allow Iran to develop a nuclear warhead, ever.

They're biding their time, and when the timing is right they're going to tell the UN to go f*ck themselves and open a big bad can of whoopass on Iran that will bring the Iranians to their knees.

This is not wishful thinking, it is a FACT. Israel is armed to the teeth and has one of the most powerful defense forces in the world, far superior to those of its' neighbors. And yes, it will do whatever has to be done to insure it's own survival. Even if it means the loss of innocent Iranian and Israeli lives.

Israelis have now come to understand and accept that loss of innocent life is going to be a part of the process, and they will not shrink from doing what must be done.

And they're going to do it with or without the help of the United States, because they can.

Blinded Iranian seeks eye-for-eye justice

Late last year an Iranian court ruled that the man — identified only as Majid — who blinded Bahrami in 2004 after she spurned him, should also be blinded with acid based on the Islamic law system of "qisas," or eye-for-an-eye retribution, according to Iranian newspaper reports from November.

But Bahrami, who moved to Spain after the attack to get medical treatment, said Wednesday that under Iranian law, she is entitled to blind him in only one eye, unless she pays euro20,000 ($25,110), because in Iran women are not considered equal to men.

"They have told us that my two eyes are equal to one of his because in my country each man is worth two women. They are not the same," she told Cadena SER.

These are the people Obama wants to sit down with.

Spokeswoman Karen Kaufman said the embassy had planned to move to the high-rise Kirya Tower in Tel Aviv, partly owned by real estate company Africa-Israel Investments Ltd., but the ambassador, Tom Phillips, decided not to move last month....

Okay, here's a terrifying thought.
Back in December 1979 when Jimmy Carter gave us and the world his great legacy, the regime of the mad mullahs, there was barely over one year left in his presidency.
...Less than a year if you consider Reagan's election victory in November 1980 as the first real sign that America wasn't going to put up with the barbarians' shenanigans any more. Sure enough, Iran's act of war in taking Americans hostage ended mere hours before Reagan took office.
But this time around, the savages are already in control of Iran and Iran's oil wealth and they're already on the verge of having a nuclear weapon, and we've got at least 3 years and 10 months of Obama's spineless foreign policy idiocy still ahead.
How much more damage could those animals do in the huge window we're giving them with this clueless administration?

I think it goes without saying that the Israelis would like to have the support of the US if they're forced to attack Iran, but they certainly don't need it, or require it.

They will do whatever it takes to preserve their sovereignty, even if they have to stand alone to do so.

Yes, I think so, too.

The Democratic party plans to dry to depict the GOP as the "party of Rush Limbaugh," and give Rush a lot of free publicity in the process, because they feel that the majority of on-the-fence voters will hate Rush if they start paying attention to him.

Unfortunately, I think it will be an effective strategy. I personally can't stand Rush Limbaugh, even though I agree with some of his political views. He's not a very likable person.

Obama, like most of his grisly foreign policy crew, believes that the Israelis are the bad guys and that the various factions of the Muslim Brotherhood or whatever names they give themselves today are the oppressed good guys. Hillary, deep down, doesn't really care, although she made suitable pro-Israeli noises for the sake of both Bill's and her elections to public office.

So far, Hillary is acting as a stalking horse by hinting at a reverse 50 years of US Foreign policy, but shortly, when the excrement hits the old paddleblade, the Obamunist heavies will move in in an attempt to remove Israel from the scene altogether. Hopefully, they will get their just deserts as did the Carter team, when their "freeing" Iran from the Evil Shah resulted in the months-long captivity of the US Embassy. (It was unfortunate that some perfectly innnocent Americans were trapped in that mess, but I was almost sorry that we had to repatriate the Carterites and the Islamacists on the staff who brought on the disaster in the first place.)

Orbiting a satellite of what size? Matchbox? Shoebox? Range Rover? Winnebago?

Based on their abilities with the Shahab 4 series, they don't exactly have throw weight to fire a nuke if they had one, let alone know where it would land. That's not a problem if you are trying to hit say Germany and aren't particular if you want to hit Dusseldorf or Munich or anywhere in between. But it is a problem if you're trying to hit Israel and might instead hit Egypt or Jordan or have it land inside Iran itself because the tech is still wobbly.

It will still take time to have sufficient nuclear materials for a warhead, but it will also take time to put that material in to a useable warhead.

Antisemitism apologist United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay engages in a bit of antisemitic innuendo while lying about Durban II:

U.N. racism meet challenged on Israel, free speech

GENEVA (Reuters) - United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay said Monday there was no need for the United States and other Western countries to fear that a Geneva conference on racism would be sullied by anti-Semitism....

...She complained that the conference, to be held in Geneva from April 20 to 24 to review the outcome of a similar meeting in Durban in 2001, was the target of a "lobbying campaign" of disparagement, but made no direct reference to the U.S. stance....

"...And now the (Geneva) review conference has also been the target of a disparaging media and lobbying campaign on the part of those who fear a repetition of anti-Semitic outbursts," Pillay said, adding: "This is unwarranted."

Oh, the mythical power of Zionist lobby.

re: #236 damnyanqui

Okay, here's a terrifying thought.
Back in December 1979 when Jimmy Carter gave us and the world his great legacy, the regime of the mad mullahs, there was barely over one year left in his presidency.
...Less than a year if you consider Reagan's election victory in November 1980 as the first real sign that America wasn't going to put up with the barbarians' shenanigans any more. Sure enough, Iran's act of war in taking Americans hostage ended mere hours before Reagan took office.
But this time around, the savages are already in control of Iran and Iran's oil wealth and they're already on the verge of having a nuclear weapon, and we've got at least 3 years and 10 months of Obama's spineless foreign policy idiocy still ahead.
How much more damage could those animals do in the huge window we're giving them with this clueless administration?

Let's be honest with ourselves: The hostage siege ended because Reagan worked an arms-for-hostages deal behind the scenes. Also, during this period of the 70's and 80's , US defense companies were selling anything to anyone, including (if not especially) to our enemies, who always pay the highest bounty.....as did France when they sold Saddam Osirak in the SAME year.

Aha! They come up with a diabolical plot to paint Limbaugh as the "voice of the Republicans". So far so good. Why? Because they see that he's not that popular among younger voters. Now, if they can get Republicans/Conservatives to denounce Rush and move away from him, his ratings will drop, and he'll go away. Then they've gotten rid of their biggest critic, and - as they see it - leave the Conservative movement leaderless.

Syria is at least a brother Arab country. The Iranians are Persian, and neither the Arabs nor the Turks have any love for the Persians. Furthermore, the Arab states & Turkey are all largely Sunni Muslim. The Iranians are Shia Muslim. The two sects don't exactly get along.

So I'm not worried the Iraqis or anybody else would complain if Israel overflew them to hit Iran. The only worry is that Obama might red light the operation out of misplaced "sensitivity" to the "Arab street".

Also assumed that Obama and Clinton will attempt to screw Israel.

This is much worse than it might appear on the surface. There has always been a debate about what really goes on inside of Iran. How much is DinnerJacket and what do the Supreme Leaders actually think?

Now we know.

There are no illusions that the supreme leadership likes Israel, but they have been very quiet about open calls like this for some time. This statement means that even if DinnerJacket gets tossed in the next election, we can expect not only continued, but increased belligerence from Iran.

Honestly it is vastly worse than any of the bile that DinnerJacket spews because the Jacket only has teeth if the Supreme Council gives it to him. We are quite possibly seeing the groundwork for an atomic announcement. We are certainly going to see the HEzzies and Hamas act up again soon.

The fact is that the Supreme Leader is a religious leader in every sense of the word. What he says becomes binding to believers beyond normal politics. The Council is careful and thoughtful. They would not have said something like this after all of their years of silence unless they have something planned. They are going to do it soon.

G-d help us all. I truly hope that Obama can see this writing on the wall.

Mookie's militia is finished. The governing party in Iraq is Shia, but not a pro-Iranian faction. They rely upon support from the Kurds, who are very pro-US and somewhat pro-Israeli. The Sunni opposition parties are may take advice from their Jordanian & Saudi friends and just keep quiet.

Thanks Kenneth that makes me feel better. O can't interfere to prevent a IDF flyover of Iraq can he? I'm assuming the Iraqis are the only ones who have say so and they are in no position to do anything to stop it even if they were to opposed it.

I have to think Iraqi airspace is effectively, if not officially, controlled by the US. If Obama really wanted to be an asshole, he could order the USAF to intercept Israeli jets over Iraq.

It was the "officially" part I was wondering about, yeah O could do that if he wanted to and I have a feeling Hillary would support the decision.

re: #277 lawhawk

Orbiting a satellite of what size? Matchbox? Shoebox? Range Rover? Winnebago?

Based on their abilities with the Shahab 4 series, they don't exactly have throw weight to fire a nuke if they had one, let alone know where it would land. That's not a problem if you are trying to hit say Germany and aren't particular if you want to hit Dusseldorf or Munich or anywhere in between. But it is a problem if you're trying to hit Israel and might instead hit Egypt or Jordan or have it land inside Iran itself because the tech is still wobbly.

It will still take time to have sufficient nuclear materials for a warhead, but it will also take time to put that material in to a useable warhead.

That's time that the rest of world must use to thwart Iran from ever accomplishing the aforementioned.

Experts said Iranian satellite size = shoebox

I'm sure all of the "Palestinian Rights" folks understand this, and would still justify a nuclear attack on Israel---but if such an attack were to occur, there would be no more "Palestinians". It seems like once these folks get a taste for mass murder combined with self-righteousness, they just can't get enough. Not to mention that the destruction would reach as far north as Cyprus. That means that southern, middle, and northern Lebanon would also be gone.

And yet, the only folks who seem outraged by this little fact of science are supporters of "the state that, according to the UN, regularly commits terrorist acts and human rights violations against the defenseless Palestinians."

Can you imagine the uproar? You can't talk like that. It's hate speech. It's nazi. It's downright rabid.

Yes, it is. But it wasn't the Pope who said it, not in this our real world.

And all the finest thugs in the world were in attendance.

Attending this hatefest: Palestinian terrorist Samir Kuntar, Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar and Moussa Abu Marzouk, Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ramadan Salah, and Fatah's Farouk Kadumi, the PLO leader in Tunisia.

Nasrallah was rumored to be there. Hamas thugs were there. Fatah thugs were there.

It was a target-rich audience.

And they were all united on one goal - Israel's destruction.
