As a rule, they still prefer to point the finger at Israel and the Jews which is a comfortable position..."</b></i><br /><i><b>"...Genocidal antisemitism means that you want to kill Jews in order to redeem the world. A Nazi party directive of May 1943 provides an example. It prophesied: 'This war will end with antisemitic world revolution and with the extermination of Jewry throughout the world, both of which are the precondition for an enduring peace.'</b></i><br /><i><b>"Ahmadinejad, in his speeches, has revived this kind of genocidal utopia. Thus, he promised to the audience at the Holocaust deniers' conference in 2006 in Teheran: 'The Zionist regime will be wiped out, and humanity will be liberated.'"</b></i>Daniel Bielakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792786894694523598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-26665530274643960412012-02-24T13:47:21.038-08:002012-02-24T13:47:21.038-08:00Iranian Antisemitism: Stepchild of German National...<b>Iranian Antisemitism: Stepchild of German National Socialism, by German academic scholar, and former member of the "Anti-Zionist" Left in Germany, Matthias Küntzel</b><br /><a href="http://europenews.dk/en/node/29641" rel="nofollow">http://europenews.dk/en/node/29641</a><br /><br /><b>What Iranian Leaders Really Say about Doing Away with Israel - A Refutation of the Campaign to Excuse Ahmadinejad's Incitement to Genocide</b><br /><a href="http://www.jcpa.org/text/ahmadinejad2-words.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcpa.org/text/ahmadinejad2-words.pdf</a><br /><br />"Supreme Leader" Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranian TV Sermon, Dec. 15, December 15, 2000: <i><b>"Iran’s position, which was first expressed by the Imam [Khomeini] and stated several times by those responsible, is that the cancerous tumor called Israel must be uprooted from the region."</b></i><br /><br />Ayatollah Ahmad Janati, member of President Ahmadinejad’s inner circle, Chairman of the Guardian Council of the Constitution: <i><b>"The blind enemies should see that the wish of these people is the death of America and Israel."</b></i><br /><br />Senior advisor to Supreme Leader Khamenei, and one of the founders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Yahya Rahim Safavi, February 23, 2008: <i><b>"With God’s help the time has come for the Zionist regime’s death sentence."</b></i><br /><br />Adviser to Ahmadinejad, Secretary of the political committee of the Rayeheh Khosh-Khedmat party which supports Ahmadinejad, and Holocaust-denier, Mohammad-Ali Ramin: <i><b>"Among the Jews there have always been those who killed God’s prophets and who opposed justice and righteousness. Historically, there are many accusations against the Jews. For example, it was said that they were the source for such deadly diseases as the plague and typhus. This is because the Jews are very filthy people. For a time people also said that they poisoned water wells belonging to Christians and thus killed them."</b></i><br /><br />Ayatollah Hussein Nuri Hamadani, a leading religious authority associated with the Iranian regime, Mahdaviyat (messianic) Studies Institute, April 2005: <i><b>"One should fight the Jews and vanquish them so that the conditions for the advent of the Hidden Imam will be met."</b></i><br /><i><b>"...at present the Jews’ policies threaten us. One should explain in the clearest terms the danger the Jews pose to the [Iranian] people and to the Muslims....Already from the beginning the Jews wanted to hoard<br />the world’s goods in [their] greed and voracity. They always worked in important professions and now they have hoarded all of the wealth in one place. And all of the world, especially America and Europe, are their slaves."</b></i><br /><br />The Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Mohammad-Ali Jafari, in a message to Secretary General of Hizbullah, Hassan Nasrallah, February 2008: <i><b>"In the near future, we will witness the destruction of the cancerous microbe Israel (جرثومه سرطاني اسرأييل ) by the strong and capable hands of the nation of Hizbullah."</b></i><br /><br />The speaker of Iran’s parliament, Gholam Ali Haddad-Adel, in a speech at Tehran University’s mosque, February 2008: <i><b>"The countdown has begun for the destruction of the Zionist regime."</b></i>Daniel Bielakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792786894694523598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-13732596784960417762012-02-23T17:33:37.146-08:002012-02-23T17:33:37.146-08:00I would only add that Progressive-Zionists, as the...I would only add that Progressive-Zionists, as they call themselves, rather than focus on the Republican candidates or others that speak to issues that endanger Jews and others, would do better to focus on the antisemitism and disproportionate attention on Israel we see among many that call themselves Progressive.<br /><br />There are plenty of places to attack Republicans. What's the big deal with that, adding one more voice to the drone? However, problems in the Progressive "intelligentsia" are systemic and this needs to be confronted.<br /><br />From the PZs, virtually nothing about the upcoming Harvard "one state" conference, about the recent happenings at UPenn, or the goings on elsewhere where Progressives are front and center in fomenting incitement against Israel and/or Jews.<br /><br />So far as I can tell, at the Progressive Zionist site, there was one small, but good diary about Apartheid Week, but hardly any other discussions.<br /><br />As a liberal, I speak about this issue concerning those on the prejudice from the Progressive wing quite often. The message is stronger when it comes from within. That is why I like to refer to what apostates say. I have been banished from within by some. It would be nice to see more of them stepping forward.<br /><br />Oh well....Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-4284801199550344612012-02-23T16:22:29.514-08:002012-02-23T16:22:29.514-08:00I'll give it a look-see, Dan.
