By Taya Fabijanic, published 10/3/2006

Israel needs to be reminded as much as Hamas about not using violence for political gains.

All, thanks for the uncompliments. But what was written in my Post, was mostly taken from "Dissent" a philosophical magazine recommended by the Murdoch School of Humanities, and contributed to mainly by Uni' Professors and Phds.

What was said about Iran, to our minds is commonsense, as it should be to Israelis. In fact, the only country really backing Israel is America, and talking about democracy in the Middle East, if it came to a vote overall, both Israel and the US might be asked to move out next day after the election.

It is not that we dislike Israel, having had great sympathy for the way the Jews were treated by the Nazis, but the reality is there that the Middle East is mainly Arabic or Persian, and the situation cannot be changed but only be held by police action, either by the UN or by the US.

The United Nations, naturally, is a lost cause, mostly through the wishes of a dominant United States. So it is left to America to do the job, already partly achieved by the US letting little Israel have atomic capability ridiculously out of context for its size.

You must admit that it is the main reason that Iran wants to go militarily nuclear.

Finally, to get to the real crux of the matter, ALL', it is well to enquire, do you want a defiant Iran taken out, as both Cheney and Rumsfeld have threatened, or would it be better to have Israel de-nuclearised, and protected by a far stronger United Nations, even protected thereon by strong forces from Russia, China and India, as well as Nato-style forces? Better that than letting the US of A become more unpopular in this world than ever.

Would like a straightforward answer from you, ALL, rather than another character assassination.

Any Islamist state is as much democratic as contemporary Australia sovereign is.

Imposing own standards on others is as much practical as asserting public that the Big Ben is a natural feature of a proudly Australian landscape.

Bush bred:

Iranian conundrum.
The Alternative is worse, so strategic targeting of nuclear plants is required. Obviously: Political, the people will eventually.

Iran , what you and others think, it is not Islamic, The Attila Looters have the Guns, as you will find out , it is under Islamic Occupation and has been for 1400 years, much like every other Middle Eastern country, You will find that out as you progress.

You must have understood what you wrote previously, PhD these days by some is not worth toilet paper. Just pure Anti-Semitic garbage. Zionist by the way is interesting, considering Saudi Arabia has 700 Billion dollar control interest in USA; you must ask your self why the Jews are being used as the red herring. So who controls your version of? “The protocols of Zion”, helps explain the leftoid alignment might you say? Think about it.

According to Alan Grey, "Israel...is in a very real struggle for survival". Yet Boaz boasts: The Arabs "can try the military option and become a 'deceased people'". It'd really help the rest of us if the Zionist propagandists who infest this site could get the party-line straight.

Bushbred;
This book was recommended to me by an Iranian Professor early last year: It is an eye opener.
Here is an Interview in text with the author on radio National. ABC : http://www.abc.net.au/rn/relig/spirit/stories/s1101232.htm
The book is : In Search of Zarathustra: By : Paul Kriwaczek:
A great read, but the only problem is, you end up buying more books.
I think you will enjoy it, and at best- will give you an outline of Iranian thinking , and the people through out the region. I’m sure you will find it of great value and very informative.

Israel is a becon of light surronded by Islamic darkness - a darkness which casts its shadow on Europe and Australia.

People, the sun is going down on our civilisation, the darkness of Islam is falling and the Leftists are tearing down our civilisation from the inside - (liberal minded people who protect minorites to the detriment of the local people - ie, saying its racist to acknowledge an Islamic culture of rape against local Australian, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, and French, gilrs, but do not say a word to protect their own people who are being raped - heads in the sand and self-hating).
