    Actual photographs, or course, do not amount to mere "propaganda." And whatever the case may have been in 2011, 2009, 2008, or 2006 is entirely irrelevant.

    But please don't allow mere facts to intrude upon your anti-Israel opinion...

    Nothing will be likely to persuade me of a threat? How about facts? That will do nicely. There aren't any good facts though. It's all hearsay. There is an assumption they will build a bomb because of minor actions in the past (not allowing inspectors in, breaking various resolutions, etc). Iran are not alone on this front though, and it doesn't prove they are doing anything in particular.

    The chances of Iran actually getting a bomb created in my mind is slim to zero (based on it being watched like a hawk and past reactor problems for "energy" let alone a bomb), and if the slim chance does occur, they are being watched so closely, by Israel and us, that they won't be able to leave the room with it before some F-16's take it away from them for good. I'm quite happy for Israel to do what's necessary to protect themselves, and given their history I know that they will.

    Suggesting Iran is a threat makes me chuckle.

    What makes you think I'm on the left? I hate when my peers embarrass themselves that way. Just because I can understand something from Iran's POV, doesn't mean I agree with it.

    There was no way to "organizing resistance to the regimes which menaced them" because it wasnt the "regimes" it was the ppl, the normal day to day civilians that chased Jews, as always in your "survey" you forget to mention what the OTHER side did at the same time, in this report the Europeans are non existant, you wrote as if they posed no threat to Jews and Zionism was created out if zeal and not necessity which is ofc a hater's lie........just as in your other "reports" the Arabs are non existant.

    You support murder of innocent civilians by Palestinian terror but now it's "just" the regime, not the civilians.....

    They had as much in common as German Liberals and Nazis - both wanting the best for Germany, a Jewish home away from Europe and Nazis (or Russian anti semite) not wanting Jews in Europe had same goal in that regard but one side was simply dealing with the illegal facist behaviour of another, more than that it wasnt just the Nazis but most of Europe's civilians, Zionism is a pragmatic movement, what would you have the Jews do ? protest in the streets ? write an angry colum ? Zionism dealed with racist Europe it didnt create it, your ancestors did.
    You mean the British Imperial conquest of Africa, the British colonies, the British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain made an offer to Herzel, it was a British offer and FYI Weizmann and Herzel were political rivals and didnt agree on Oganda, Weizmann refused to create a state anywhere but in Israel, he opposed Chamberlain propossal trhat Herzel presented in the 6th congress.
    You mean the Jews didnt send 100 armed men to destroy Nazi Germany? wow...

    Remind me what England did against the Nazis in 1933 and up till the start of the war ? what did anyone do ? but you figure the Jews could have fought them right :) ?
    You realize I hope that the Nazis hated Jews regardless of Zionism, that they went along with racist laws and later Genocide regardless of Zionism, so Zionists could try to ship some Jews to Israel or not, the Nazis perescuted them regardless. you are smart enough to know that right ? :roll:
    Source ?
    How did Jews in Israel or Eurpoe "change" laws in America ? where when Ben Gurion was supposed to say that ? source please.
    Sure that's why Jews blew the Twin Towers, spread the plague and drink blood, that's where you part from your brain, let me know when you meet it again and we'll talk some more.
    Yes, its called "war effort", remember where you accused them of working with the Nazis, well this tiny line you wrote here is the fact that once the war started the Zionists FOUGHT the Nazis, bigots usually counter themselves, I had same expireince with Jack when he started talking about race and genetics.
    Source ? or are you an eye witness ?

    BS, the Arabs were the aggressors they murdered and the Brits suppressed them, there was no Jewish army just Hagans volenteers most were'nt even armed.

    There is no such thing as zionist regime in Israel, just like there is no British regime in the UK or French regime in France. There are no regimes where people have choices and make them known at the polls.

    Israel is a zionist country, every political party in Israel is zionist, every Israeli is a Zionist, wiping "zionist regime" off the map would take waging an all out war against the Jewish state with the objective of exterminating the Jewish state. Stop splitting hairs, it's frankly silly.

    You clearly know little or nothing of Zionism if you believe all Israel's political parties are Zionist.

    You're fooling yourself; that's the irony. You're so convinced that every state in the region wants to annihilate Israel that simple facts become a mental block. Here's a hint; Israel really isn't that important and, frankly, those countries have far more pressing issues to contend with than bothering with a grubby little grease-stain called Israel.
    If Israel is so innocent one might wonder why Hasbara pays people to infect the internet with pro-Israeli propaganda...
    To quote Shakespeare; 'The lady doth protest too much, methinks...'

    Vast majurity are, the Left parties that rival the Right wingers - Likud and Jewish Home - call themselvs the "Zionist Camp" in upcoming elections, because Zionism is about a Jewsih state - not about borders. you simply sank too deep with the propaganda to know what Zionism is. allow a Zionist from Zion to educate you.

    Right...coming from you and your Israel obsessed ilk, it's actually ironic, aren't there more pressing issues in the UK that people like you are obsessed with Israel....just your ilk's generations of predecessors were obsessed with JOOS, despite the abundance of more pressing issues. Who are you kidding, no Israel is a wet dream of people like you, let alone the uneducated, fanatical and brainwashed Arab street.

    Zionism is a politcal ideology and not a Jewish identifier and the Torah Jews are anti-zionist. I'm guessing you drew the short straw at hasbara summer camp.

    Come on Borat, you've been complaining too much about the United Kingdom. You've got a very friendly horse strategically positioned. He will race but it needs a good jockey. Perhaps Frankie Dettori ?

    I think it is very relevant that the same group of screamers are proved to be wrong over and over in the past.
    There is are words for that: zero credibility.

    It's not an opinion but a mere fact that Israel got it wrong from 2006 to 2011.

    What I take from all that the Zionists are, at bottom, nihilists. What they really believe in is chaos and unending revolution. Some friends, eh?

    Civilians who vote in governments that commit war crimes on their behalf, or joined the military institution that commits war crimes, or exploit war crimes,... are not innocent. Don't be silly.

    But there is.

    Balad is a zionistic political party?

    I think I stick by my previous quote of:
    Stop looking like a freaking jester of the extremistic zionist lobby, by parroting what they got to say. The quote still doesn't say to wipe Israel of the map. The guy went out of his way to specifically mention it's about it's regime, and not it's citizens or the entire country.

    Because the way you're ranting your lies, soon you'll be saying Iran is out there to exterminate all the Jews in the world.

    Israel is not an innocent angel, but "soon you'll be saying Iran is out there to exterminate all the Jews in the world." has a grain of truth. It was good sarcasm, but Iran through its statements shows it would destroy Israel if it could. Extrapolate what Muslims do to other religions and elements of their own religion when given the chance. Observe events in Europe where Islamic people occupy large enclaves. I believe the only reason Iran doesn't want to exterminate all the Jews of the world is because it can't.

    I imagine you must be equally thrilled to see yet another warmongering thread that is anti-Iran and anti-American.

    The problem with that mentality is that politicians often say one thing during the campaign then do another once they are in office. It isn't always possible to know what you are going to get out of an elected leader.

    Speaking strictly of the United States here, I also believe that many a President Elect takes office with the best of intentions and then is burdened with debts owed to his larger funded supporters and faced with a government power structure that makes it difficult to the right thing.

    There are still about 25 000 Jews who live in Iran and are represented in the Iranian Parliament, and they are not afraid of being killed. These Jews call themselves Iranians of Jewish persuasion, their homeland is Iran, not Israel, because these people belong to the native population of Iran, and they do not want to be migrants in Palestine who live on the land of expelled Palestonias.

    :D

    What do you know about how nuclear bombs work that makes you believe the odds are against Iran building one or more of their own?

    Let me tell you, a gun type atomic bomb is not difficult to build. The tricky thing is enriching your fissionable material to weapons grade. They already have the equipment and technology to do that I believe.

    They don't need to produce a large amount of weapons grade plutonium. Just some Uranium-235. When they have that, all that is left is a delivery system.

    I would not be surprised to find that they have several warheads and are just waiting for their missile development teams to catch up.

    You are correct - in Hebrew they are referred to as Mizrahim or Oriental Jews.
