Iran, Iraq, the Palestinian Authority…All have experienced and continue to perpetuate ethnic cleansing of their Christian populations once the “democratic” revolutions have taken place…Why expect anything different in Egypt, Yemen, Jordan or Tunisia?…
And…Although only 1500 Jews remain in Tunisia, they fear for their safety as synagogues beef up protection in light of anti-Jewish demonstrations in the streets following the ouster of THEIR autocratic leader, Ben Ali…
Also…Rabbi Shmuley Boteach urges the Pope to promote “Shabbat Dinners” amongst his Catholic followers…This, as Rabbi Boteach promotes his new book about pop icon Michael Jackson, who, in Boteach’s words, “was a family man with strong values and love for his children”…Huh???
Plus…The Israeli public votes “National Religious” as the group that contributes most to the Israeli Army…
Tel Aviv Pedicure
How about topless female barber(ettes) in Tel Aviv…
Michelle Obama's Cousin...Rabbi Funnye
And President Barak Obama receives another letter calling for clemency for Jonathan Pollard…This time from a Jewish Rabbi…who happens to be First Lady Michelle Obama’s FIRST COUSIN!!!

U.S. Secretary of State Clinton Pledges Support for Protestors in Iran…Where Were You in 2009?
Written by Marty Roberts on February 15, 2011 – 7:09 pm -Where was US when protestors for democracy took to the streets in Iran in 2009 after Ahmadinejad’s rigged “democratic” elections?
Hillary’s words of support for the “people in the streets” in Iran ring very empty, indeed…
Clinton
Iranian protestors, police clash; US backs ‘people in the streets’
Security forces fire teargas to disperse thousands of opposition supporters chanting ‘Death to the dictator’ while marching toward Tehran square; dozens arrested during clashes with police in central Iran. Clinton slams ‘hypocrisy’ of Iranian government. News agency says one killed by protestors
Reprinted from YNetnews.com
Dozens of Iranian opposition supporters were arrested on Monday while taking part in a banned rally in Tehran to support popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, an Iranian opposition website said.
“Witnesses say in some parts of Tehran security forces arrested dozens of protesters,” opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi’s Kaleme website reported.
Security forces fired teargas to scatter thousands of opposition supporters marching toward a Tehran square, a witness said. There were also clashes between police and demonstrators, resulting in dozens of arrests, in Isfahan in central Iran, the country’s third largest city, another witness told Reuters.
The semi-official Fars news agency said one bystander was shot dead and several other people were wounded by protesters.
The rallies amounted to a test of strength for the reformist opposition, which had not taken to the streets since Dec. 2009, when eight people were killed.
Large numbers of police wearing riot gear and security forces were stationed around the main squares of the capital and pairs of state militiamen roamed the streets on motorbikes.
There were minor clashes at some points across the sprawling capital city of some 12 million people, witnesses said. Mobile telephone connections were down in the area of the protests.
“There are thousands of people marching … Security forces fired tear gas to disperse them near Imam Hossein square,” one witness said earlier in the day.
“Death to the dictator,” some of the protesters chanted, though in other places, demonstrators marched in silence.
The demonstrators marched towards Azadi (Freedom) Square, a traditional rallying point for protests in central Tehran dominated by a huge white marble arch. Hundreds of marchers also gathered in Isfahan and Shiraz, witnesses said.
But security forces surrounded the Tehran houses of opposition leaders Mirhossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi preventing them and Mousavi’s wife, Zahra Rahnavard from joining the march, their websites said.
“Mirhossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard are still trying to leave their house and join the protests… but security forces are preventing them. Security forces have even threatened Mousavi’s guards to not allow them to leave the house by any means,” the Mousavi’s Kalame website said.
Mousavi and Karroubi took advantage of official Iranian backing for the huge street protests in Egypt and Tunisia to call their own demonstrations in solidarity, but authorities refused their request.
The opposition nevertheless renewed the call for the rally. Iranian authorities have warned the opposition to avoid creating a “security crisis” by reviving protests that erupted after the vote, the biggest unrest in Iran since the 1979 revolution.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia an “Islamic awakening”, akin to the 1979 revolution that overthrew the US-backed shah.
But the opposition see the unrest as being more similar to their own protests following the June 2009 election which they say was rigged in favor of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The Revolutionary Guards, fiercely loyal to Khamenei, put down the 2009 protests. Two people were hanged and scores of opposition supporters jailed.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul, on a visit to Tehran, called on Middle Eastern governments to listen to the demands of their people, although he did not refer to Iran.
“We see that sometimes when the leaders and heads of countries do not pay attention to the nations’ demands, the people themselves take action to achieve their demands,” Gul told a news conference alongside Ahmadinejad.
Any use of heavy force to stop the marches in Iran during Gul’s visit could be an embarrassment for Turkey.
However, Ankara, officially an ally of the West, was one of the first governments to congratulate Ahmadinejad on his 2009 re-election and is seeking to triple the volume of trade with its neighbour despite UN, US and EU sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic over its disputed nuclear activity.
Iranian authorities deny doctoring the 2009 election results and accuse opposition leaders of being part of a Western plot to overthrow the Islamic system.
“They are incapable of doing a damn thing,” the hardline Kayhan newspaper quoted Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi as saying, echoing words used by the late revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to refer to the United States. The opposition is “guided by Iran’s enemies abroad”, Moslehi said.
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton expressed support for the tens of thousands of protesters in Iran’s capital, saying they “deserve to have the same rights that they saw being played out in Egypt and are part of their own birthright.”
Speaking to reporters after meeting House Speaker John Boehner on Monday, Clinton said she and others in Barack Obama’s administration “very clearly and directly support the aspirations of the people who are in the streets” of Tehran.
She spoke of the “hypocrisy” of the Iranian government that hailed the protests in Egypt but has tried to suppress opposition at home.
Clinto added that there “needs to be a commitment to open up the political system, to hear the voices of the opposition and civil society.”

A Seminar on a College Campus: Purpose – Recruiting Suicide Bombers
Written by Marty Roberts on August 23, 2010 – 9:00 am -Thousands of intelligent, middle-class college students signing up to blow themselves up…This is taking place at a major university…It’s mind-boggling, but it’s REAL…Do you realize that this country is only months away from developing and producing a nuclear weapon of mass destruction, along with the ability to deliver it against Israel?…
And…The world leaders continue to jabber blah-blah-blah, but no one does anything…Sound familiar?, i.e. Berlin circa 1940′s?…Does history always have to keep repeating itself?…Why don’t we learn from the mistakes of the past?…
Also….Holocaust denier cum historian David Irving gets a three-year jail sentence in Austria…He’s doing time for denying the Holocaust…Shouldn’t world leaders that do the same also have to pay a price?…Is there a price for a leader calling for the destruction of another country?…Calling for genocide?…Hellooooo!!!…

The Plaque Posted at the Seminar at
University of Tehran
Can there be some misunderstanding here?
Seems pretty clear to me…
The Iran Foreign Minister says that there is no call to wipe Israel off of the map…
It’s just a big misunderstanding…
Am I missing something here?
Translation of the Hebrew: “Israel Needs to be Erased From the Face of the Earth”

Iranian President Ahmadinejad
He publicly denies the Holocaust… Now, He’s calling for the transfer of Israel from the Middle east to Europe… But Ukraine’s largest university says that this is not against the Jews, just Zionism… Well, if you deny Zionism, the Jewish People’s holy connection to the Land of Israel, you are, in fact, denying the Torah, the Bible and The Creator Himself!!! ZIONISM=JUDAISM
(Or, at the very least, a VERY BIG part of it!)
American tycoon
Donald Trump
Big plans for investing in Israel…
I guess HE doesn’t think that Israel is leaving the Middle East any time soon…

Everyone seems to agree that SOMETHING has to be done to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat…but who’s going to be the one to do the dirty work??? America??? Israel??? No one, until it’s just TOO LATE???
The Right Tool for the Job???
Israel denies any plans to attack Iran…England says Israel is already training for the mission…
America says that there is still time for diplomacy…Dick Cheney signals “understanding”, were Israel to take action to eliminate an existential threat…
In the Crosshairs???
Polls in America support America and\or Israel taking pre-emptive military action to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat… But polls in America support military action ONLY if AMERICA is directly threatened…
Same-day Delivery Guaranteed???
And, in the meantime, Iran warns Israel not to dare take any aggressive action…while, at the same time, vowing to destroy the Jewish State at first opportunity…
What to do, what to do???
What do YOU think SHOULD happen???
What do YOU think will happen???
