Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad never fails to take opportunities to speak out against Israel. In the latest spew, he gives credit to Lebanon and the Palestinians: “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated yesterday that Lebanon and Palestine had pressed a “countdown button” to bring about the demise of Israel.”
“With God’s help, the countdown button for the destruction of the Zionist regime has been pushed by the hands of the children of Lebanon and Palestine,” Ahmadinejad said in a speech.”By God’s will, we will witness the destruction of this regime in the near future”. No further elaborations were offered by the President.
These remarks reiterate past statements made by Iranian head of state who two years ago triggered outrage in the West by declaring Israel should be “wiped off the map”. While Ahmadinejad has often referred to the destruction of the Jewish state he continues to claim Iran does not pose a threat to the nation. (ToTheCenter.com)
Is Ahmadinejad willing to let those associated with the Palestinians bring Israel down and take the credit? We all know that Iran is assisting these groups with money, arms, men, and training. Perhaps he is willing to sit back and let others do his bidding.
Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said yesterday the world would witness the destruction of Israel soon, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. (NY Daily News)
Ahmadinejad’s aspirations are lofty, but in reality he is a short, under-dressed, arrogant little man who has much less power than he would like. He’s frustrated. He’s like a child that wants another child’s toy and can’t seem to get his hands on it. He puts grandmothers, women and old men in prison and charges them with crimes of espionage. He’s dangerous. If the US is conducting black-ops in Iran, good for us and good for the Iranian people. The sooner Ahmadinejad is gone, the better.

40 years ago today, 14 Arab nations pushed that button to no avail. Read how time magazine reported the 6-day war here.
It is fascination how the mainstream press recognized the existential threat faced by the tiny nation back then, because of the perception of the persecuted Jewish underdog vs. the gang of Arab bullies. Notice how Arabs living on the territory occupied by Israel after the war were never referred to as “Palestinians”
Because of the wealth and military prowess obtained by Israel since that time, coupled with economic stagnation of the Arab world and Arafat’s brilliant subversion of the media to invent Palestinian Nationalism from thin-air, we now witness a situation where Marxist-academia trained journalists report another “David vs Goliath” episode, except this time David is the Philistine and Goliath is the Jew. Therefore the Philistines must be right.

Excellent point Jimmy the Dhimmi. I don’t understand the media. It’s like they get behind everything that is wrong in this world. After Israel’s display in Lebanon LAST Summer, I worry that Israel’s present leaders do not have the ‘right stuff’ to pull Israel out of this situation. I talk to Israelis and many of them feel the same way.

Michael Rosenburg, columnist for the Detroit Free Press, recently said that the purpose of modern journalism was to “afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted; then, after the afflicted become comfortable, afflict them again. This should provide an endless supply of news stories.”
