By Brian Holden, published 3/8/2007

The media’s unrelenting promotion of a negative image of Islam and the government’s scare tactics must cease.

BOAZ_David,
South Africa is similar in this instance, propaganda, false media reporting to overseas viewers (some of the crimes not even mentioned to overseas media for fear of scaring off any potential investors)It's running rampant, government controls and covers-up everything.

You people out there do not hear it all and guess who benefits?

hi Paul.L, your post "... Israel has invaded no country, that hadn’t first attacked Israel. They have never used their nuclear weapons..."
Surely the same should be said for Iran, they too haven't attacked any country that hadn't first attacked them. What evidence is there to suggest that they would use nukes if they did ever get the capacity, surely this is a biased opinion.
Again " ... and in my opinion have them only to deter arab/muslim countries from continuing to invade Israel.... ", why shouldn't Iran 'have them to deter zionist/neo-con administrations from invading them, there's surely been enough threats from both!
And for "I have zero confidence that Iran won't pass nuclear technology onto Hezbollah....", Why would Iran pass it on (if and when they get it) more so than the zionists/neocons, they all support many non-government terrorist groups.

The same cannot be said for Iran. Iran’s is one of the major sources of funds and weapons for terror groups worldwide. Pasdaran, otherwise known as the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, supports Hezbollah operations in Lebanon, Iraqi Kurdistan, Jordan and Palestine and the Islamic Jihad in Egypt, Turkey, Chechnya and Caucasia. They are believed to use Hezbollah to counterfeit United States dollars and euros, and disrupt the finances of western nations by impairing international trade and tourism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_state_terrorism_by_Iran

The threats to Iranian sovereignty are linked to their continuing efforts to gain Nuclear Weapons and their support of terror groups in Iraq. Iran could guarantee its security by desisting in both these operations.

Finally you merely need to listen to the words of the Iranians and their proxies.

" .. If the world-devourers wish to stand against our religion, we will stand against their whole world and will not cease until the annihilation of all them. Either we all become free, or we will go to the greater freedom which is martyrdom. Either we shake one another's hands in joy at the victory of Islam in the world, or all of us will turn to eternal life and martyrdom. In both cases, victory and success are ours.” Ayatollah Khomeini,

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

"no doubt the new wave [of attacks] in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot from the face of the Islamic world."

And more recently

"God willing, the eradication of Israel would soon be realized through the continued wisdom of the Palestinian nation," http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Iranian_president_calls_Israel_%E2%80%98disgraceful_blot%E2%80%99

” Our dear Imam (referring to Ayatollah Khomeini) said that the occupying regime (Israel) must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise statement.” This is the Iranian media English translation.

Nasrallah,

“If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew. Notice, I do not say the Israeli.

“If they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.”

Paul.L, had a web search and found a few including ".. two statements he attributes to Hizbullah’s secretary-general, Sayed Hassan Nasrallah (Letters, 7 September). Goodheart uses the inflammatory quotations to accuse Nasrallah of being ‘an anti-semite with fantasies of genocide’. If I am unfamiliar with the statements, it is because they are in all likelihood fabrications. The first (‘If they [the Jews] all gather in Israel it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide’) was circulated widely on neo-con websites, which give as its original source an article by Badih Chayban in Beirut’s English-language Daily Star on 23 October 2002. It seems that Chayban left the Star three years ago and moved to Washington. The Star’s managing editor writes of Chayban’s article on Nasrallah, that ‘I have faith in neither the accuracy of the translation [from Arabic to English] nor the agenda of the translator [Chayban].’ The editor-in-chief and publisher of the Star, Jamil Mrowe, adds that Chayban was ‘a reporter and briefly local desk sub and certainly did not interview Nasrallah or anyone else.’ The account of Nasrallah’s speech in the Lebanese daily As Safir for the same day makes no reference to any anti-semitic comments. Goodheart’s second quotation – ‘They [the Jews] are a cancer which is liable to spread at any moment’ – comes from the Israeli government’s website at http://tinyurl.com/99hyz. For the record, a Hizbullah spokeswoman, Wafa Hoteit, denies that Nasrallah made either statement."
