Yes the United States of America props up this murderous regime and has vetoed every United Nations resolution made against Israel for the past 60 years.

I hardly think you can call a country united when grandson of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the regime's founding father, was booed and jeered by the government's supporters on the 1 year anniversary of the June 2009 elections. Iran, with the third highest oil reserves in the world should be a peaceful and wealthy country. Instead unemployment and inflation are rampant, the country cannot not hold a peaceful election, and the government rules by thuggery and fear.

I expect you have to write this to keep alive. You are just lucky that there are areas in the world where there is freedom of speech and religion (like Israel).

EQ, you're kidding right?
Everything negative you hear about Iran comes from a Pro Israel or Israeli run source.The United States is run by Israel not the other way around, most of us "informed" people come down squarely on the side of Iran.
Here, try an Iranian news site: http://presstv.com/
Besides everything else Israel is one of the most corrupt and criminal societies on the planet, it's a major centre of drug manufacture and distribution, human trafficking,sexual slavery, money laundering etc.

'Today, it's known to everyone that Israel is a political entity which the United States supports in order to maintain its interests in the Middle East'.
I understand this comment and why it was made and even though this is true, the real motivation of the parasitic US/Israel relationship is primarily reversed in importance, particularly to Israel in that it uses and abuses this association to protect its interests in the US, wide and varied but all strategic.
These cover communications, switching networks, media of course, financial, entertainment but of most importance is the penetration of the Zionist AIPAC organisation into government, the pathetically weak Congress and Senate who accept Jewish graft and corruption to maintain their seats in the houses.

So whereas the US does see Israel as a buffer against Islam, the difference between the two countries is almost indiscernible as to values with Israel having the upper hand, likely to stay that way until they finally make a mistake that forces the sleepy US public to turn on Israel and cast them out. It didn't happen with the USS Liberty, the Shatila and Sabra massacres, the Lebanon Marine base bombings or 9/11 but it will happen.

Arrogance brings its just rewards with over-confidence, the current state of play. As well, the Israelis have been good pupils, learning all of Hitler's tricks and then improving them every year over the past 60 years. So evil begets evil as the Zionazis will experience but their mindset of hatred and malice does not allow them to see the writing on the wall.

But I do agree that it is the lack of respect for Israel will be their undoing as no country cares what happens to them now. They have shown their true character and colours and have been found wanting.

Jay, you're kidding, right ?

Yes, a pox on Israel for its enforcement of Apartheid for Palestinians: perhaps the solution to that mess is a secular, single democratic state.

And yes, a pox on the medieval theocracy of Iran, not least for its oppression of Kurds, Azeris, Nuris, Hazaras, Baluchis and a multitude of other groups: perhaps the solution to that mess is a secular, single democratic state.

There's usually at least three sides to every story: yours, mine, that other bloke's and the truth :)

After arguing futilely with Singer D on another thread, it's comforting to come to a thread where most people have the wit to see that imperial Israel and America are the guilty parties and, collectively, they pose a danger to the world's survival.

I guess that America is mainly to blame because it armed Israel without realizing just how puffed up and militaristic the tiny but brutal Jewish nation would become.

Of course, Israel, driven by religious fanaticism, has plans for the creation of Greater Israel which, if they achieve it, will eventually include all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates! Many Arab countries will disappear and their citizens will become homeless.

Israel's madness must be stopped
