And From Iran, Threats

Reported:

Commander of Iran's Basij (volunteer) forces Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi stressed the Zionist regime's weak and poor conditions in the confrontation against Islamic resistance in the region, and said...

..."Today Zionists are completely surrounded by the Mujahedin of Islam and we advise them (Zionists) to return to the countries of their origin soon to save their lives," Naqdi said on Wednesday..."Zionist leaders and Mr. Netanyahu should prepare themselves for the cage (to be tried in), and this is our response to such
threats."

Nice guy.  Not.

Do You Like Letters Games?

A few years ago I recognized (as most of us now do) that Ahmadinejad is a dangerous man, and I found the vitriol coming forth from his mouth to be of such a uniquely evil and hateful calibre that he was clearly in a class of villain shared by few in our long world history.

So I decided to dig deeper. This man was from Persia.Perhaps he was somehow related to Haman.

Looking at the name AHMADINEJAD, indeed one does find the letters, H A M A N.

But the remaining letters D E A D I J floored me, and sent an ominous chill down my spine. The anagram of AHMADINEJAD, sparing the J, is:

I DEAD HAMAN.

As I said, the J is left over, or spared.

His very name is shouting to us exactly who he is, and if we pay attention, and prepare accordingly, Haman will hang on the J once again, and the Jews will be spared.

It is somewhat ironic that my survey of the Internet incidentally found that some (Christian) websites had already been casually referring to Ahmadinejad
as "Haman" even before I had performed my independent anagraphic analysis.

This is pretty wild stuff, and it could form the basis of a movie. But the danger is real, and requires a call to action in my view. I entertain your comment and discussion...

Building One House

There's a new sign on my street. It announces a future construction project:

But as the last line reads - work will begin right after the end of the suspension/freeze:

Which brings me to this clip of Latma. It is a reworking of the Seder song, Chad Gadya (One Kid) and has Peace Now's Oppenheimer taking pcitures, influencing Haaretz to publish, which pressures Bibi, which encourages Tzipi, which entices Obama which delights Ahmadinejad, well, you get the picture:

4. Now, what we do without the nutty Neturei Karta kooks? Anyone for dismantling them?


5. "Because we are Jews against Israel" is the only reason Ahma tolerates you. Otherwise, you'd be pigeon feed yourself.

So, Now I'm Illegitimate?! Obama Joins Ahmadinejad's Lexicon

Reported:

President Barack Obama called Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegitimate a day after he praised Israel for showing restraint in their construction, a comment that had left Palestinians angry.

“We continue to call on Palestinians to end incitement against Israel. And we continue to emphasize that America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements,” Obama said in a speech today before the United Nations General Assembly.

I asked once before if illegitimate is worse than illegal and I still am not sure.

After all:

Saeb Erakat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, said Obama’s address to the UN was “encouraging.”

“We very much appreciate President Obama’s statements on settlements being illegal and his calling for an end of the occupation,” Erakat said in a telephone interview.

And guess who thinks like Obama - or is that Obama thinking like him?

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called Israel a "counterfeit and illegitimate regime that cannot survive", in a live broadcast on state television.

"The Zionist regime is counterfeit and illegitimate and cannot survive," he said in a speech to a crowd in the town of Islamshahr in southwestern Tehran.

Hearing Iran Loud and Clear

A news report:

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashed out at Israel and the West saying Friday the Holocaust was a lie and a pretext for occupying Palestinian lands, while hard-liners attacked a reformist cleric who was marching with the opposition at an anti-government rally in Tehran.

Thousands of opposition supporters held protests in competition with government-sponsored mass rallies to mark an annual anti-Israel commemoration, the Quds Day that reflects the Persian nation's sympathy with the Palestinians...The ceremony was established in 1979 by the leader of the Islamic Revolution and founder of present-day Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Since midmorning, opposition supporters poured out on the streets...There were also chants of: "Neither Gaza nor Lebanon, but our life is for Iran" — a slogan defying the regime's support for Palestinian militants in Gaza and Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrilla. [ha!]

At the climax of the occasion, Ahmadinejad addressed worshippers before Friday prayers at the Tehran University campus, reiterating his anti-Holocaust rhetoric that has drawn international condemnation since 2005, questioning whether the "Holocaust was a real event" and saying Israel was created on "false and mythical claims."

...Ahmadinejad also accused world powers of double standards in favor of Israel and of disregarding violations of Palestinian rights. He repeated his old predictions that Israel would soon cease to exist and urged people to stand up against Israel's "Zionist regime as a national and moral duty."

The Clown (and the Finger)

Just vs. Unjust

US President Barack Obama has strongly condemned the "unjust actions" of Iran in clamping down on election protests.

Hmmm.

So just violence is okay.

And who decides what's just?

Obama or Ahmadinejad?

The Iranian Two-Timer

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said yesterday:

To attack humanity and to achieve their goal, western countries raised the issue of the Holocaust and created the Zionist regime without considering God Almighty and the holy prophets,

The issue of Holocaust denial for this guy is not a question solely of racism or antisemitism. It is more evil.

Israel has no right to exist from an Islamic theological interpretation according to Ahmadinejad (and, of course, I would claim that the Quran can been read as very pro-Zionist). It is anti-Allah for him. So, where is its basis as a geo-political entity?

Is it in its 3000 years and more of religious, cultural, historical, linguistic identity? Is it in the archeological discoveries confirming the Biblical narrative? Is it the international legal decisions?

No, these cannot be because they are objective. So he creates an inverse thinking.

The nations of the world persecuted the Jews for all the wrong and the right reasons. With no where to go, the Jews claimed they needed to go to "Palestine" due to some fictional past. Now, in order to eject the native population who are not guilty of anything towards the Jews (not really but I never said the Iranian was logical or factual), the Jews created a fictional Holocaust and this dovetailed with the need to provide a 'cover' feeling of responsibility for those nations who yielded to the Jews to aid them in establishing their 'Zionist entity' and this enabled the usurping of the Arabs of "Palestine".

Besides being all wrong, the Iranian doesn't only deny the Holocaust. He denies Jewish nationalism.

He's a two-timer.

The Calm, Rational Thinking of A World's Leader

Just kidding.

Here, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

"This Idol of Zionism Must Be Shattered in Order to Save Humanity… Iran's Revolution Has Already Been Exported"

In his speech in Eslamshahr, Ahmadinejad said: "...The people of the West fabricated what is known as the Holocaust and Zionism, and they have sanctified it and placed it at the top of all holy beliefs. They have all united around it, and by hoisting the banner of Zionism, while using violence and aggression, spreading civil strife, and [perpetrating] Zionist crimes, they have taken over the world and wish to rule it.

..."I declare from [this pulpit] that this idol of Zionism must be shattered in order to save humanity...(1) They must know that the free nations, the Iranian nation, and the people of Eslamshahr will not tolerate this modern idol-worshiping, that they will shatter this idol with force... Indeed, they have already shattered this idol.

"The Zionists are the Ones Running International Relations… The Mask of Judaism [Behind which Zionism Hides] is False"

At an April 22, 2009 speech at the international conference of Islamic prosecutors, which convened in Tehran, Ahmadinejad said: "Let me say a few words about the Durban [2] conference in Geneva: The Zionists are the ones running international relations... Everybody knows that Zionism is a political party, and you all know that the mask of Judaism [behind which they hide] is false, because Zionism is devoid of religion, and they are against religion, against race, and against humanity.

"Zionism is a convoluted and crude party, which operates contrary to the teachings of the divine prophets and against humanity [in an effort] to take over the foundations of the world. Their management of the world takes two forms: One is behind-the-scenes control – they have arranged the [international] institutions so that they will continuously strive to achieve the Zionist goals. They [i.e. Westerners] have prepared the ground for the fulfillment of Zionism's aspirations, and they fully support the Zionist regime, without donning the mask of Zionism [themselves].

"All the organizations – the [U.N.] Security Council and the international political and judicial institutions – wholeheartedly support the Zionists, even though the Zionist mark is not branded on their foreheads.

"I believe that behind the scenes, the Zionists are running these institutions to their own advantage."(3)

Re “More Hatred From Mr. Ahmadinejad” (editorial, April 21):

What does Israel’s handling of the Gaza war have to do with President Mahmoud

Ahmadinejad’s anti-Semitic rant at the United Nations conference on racism? Mr. Ahmadinejad’s hatred of Israel has no more to do with Israel’s actions than Hitler’s opinions of Jews had to do with the behavior of German Jewry.

Iran’s president isn’t interested in discussing the subtleties of Israel’s behavior; it’s Israel’s existence that he objects to. To get drawn into a discussion of Israeli policy is to play by his rules, not ours.

President Obama was right to pull out, but I’m especially proud of Canada for having led the way months ago.

Elie Weisel Called a "Zio-Nazi"

What's a "Zio-Nazi"?

And how many times does he say it?



And who is he?

For the Record and For Reflection

In an ugly speech on Monday that served to divide and incite rather than find constructive solutions to racism, Mr. Ahmadinejad said the formation of the state of Israel left “an entire nation homeless under the pretext of Jewish suffering” in order “to establish a totally racist government in occupied Palestine.”

Source


Reflections:

1. If the formation of the state of Israel refers to 1948, why were Arab residents of the British Mandate living in Judea and Samaria and Gaza "homeless"? All of them?

2. Was Jewish suffering a pretext or, perhaps, the justification of Zionism that only in our own country could Jews defend themselves against suffering?

3. If the Arabs had agreed to the UN Partition resolution and established their Arab State, would it be racist too, or is only a Jewish state racist?

4. What are the borders of "occupied Palestine"?

Nuclear Caricature

Treif

Treif is the Hebrew word for very non-kosher.

Like in describing this meal:-

a group of Jews had dinner with the Iranian President Thursday in New York.

...Ahmadinejad said. "Zionism is a political party that has nothing to do with Jewish people."

The Iranian leader gave a lengthy discourse on the need for religion in both private and public life, and the decline of morality in countries where politicians reject religion.

..."A lot of it was very challenging," said Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb who was also a speaker. She said that while Ahmadinejad had not denied the Holocaust in his speech (whew!), he had minimized it in the way he spoke about World War Two.

"Our world views are rather different. But unless we ...dialogue face to face, how will we create any kind of understanding?" Gottlieb told Reuters, adding that she chose to attend because "peace is better than war."

Source


But it wasn't only Jews eating treif:

Arli Klassen, executive director of the Mennonite Central Committee...asked [Ahmadinejad] to avoid rhetoric that "is heard as a threat to destroy the state of Israel," to allow religious freedom in Iran and to be transparent about Iran's nuclear program.

Rabbi Lynn




is an old acquaintance of Iran's president having traveled to see him in April and she still wants to meet and talk with him despite all that has happened since then.

(Here, in Iran,



she actually has her head covered but I don't think she normally is that Jewishly modest - but maybe that's part of her Judaic renewal?)

I was wondering, if foreign workers badly treated by America's largets meatprocessors is being attack as not kosher, i.e., treif, by persons who are concerned about their human rights being violated, can that dinner above have been very not-kosher?

Or perhaps Rabbi Lynn doesn't keep kosher?


P.S. Is her poem kosher?

...O Iran
Revelation bursts forth from your soil
draped in ten thousand shades
of illumination.
You returned my people to Jerusalem
restored the Temple
provided my relatives with a Persian home for thirty centuries
and I did not know.
Now I jump over fires on Norouz
go to the garden of roses
the first Sabbath after Passover
recite poetry
at Hafez's tomb
touch my forehead to the clay earth of Jamkaran
where the Mahdi is hidden
but everywhere present.


P.P.S.

And if by now, you don't think something is out of the ordinary, go here where Rabbi Lynn is active.
