You still did not answer my specific question as to what your beliefs about Iran's intentions are. Readers, please take notice. In addition, I am not striving for originality. So much ink has been spilled over whether Ahmadinejad said that Israel should be "wiped off the map" but here we have a man who was appointed to one of the highest position in Iran who EXPLICITLY ADVOCATED THE USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AGAINST ISRAEL. No ambiguity there. This should put an end to all debates.

As per usual you have misquoted me:

Why I protested AIPAC (and what brought me to that point)

by Russ Greenleaf on September 27, 2010 · 6 comments

I’m not anti-Israel. I’m not a self-hating Jew. When Israel launched the Gaza war in 2008, I was a member of Brit Tzedek v’Shalom. We were committed to working politely within the Jewish community, promoting a two-state solution, stressing our pro-Israel credentials, refusing to do street protests.

If what you say about Tareq Ramdan is correct, why would the University of Oxford employ him?

@benny

The reason that Iran at least pretends to engage in negotiatins is not because of its peacelike character but because of sanctions and a threat of military strike. So, this threat is already working!

@JJ

Rather misfit than a bare faced liar. You pompous SOB. What makes you think you have anything interesting to say. Sheer babble,, bawl bawl poor me. I doubt if you could find somewhere where you could make a difference which is why you keep posting on this page. I don't scare from your one liner diatribes. Self serving prixx! Go find someone who is taken in by your shxx

@Mariella

Apologies. Still, the Goebells reference is apt wouldn't you say?

What did you think of the piece by Mr Wilders?

Letter to the Jewish Chronicle, January 2012

Dear Sir,

Nobody was at the court case (‘Zionists always lose’ chant as SOAS cheekbiter is acquitted of assault http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/62609/zionists-always-lose-chant-soas-...) on behalf of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, so we couldn’t have ‘gloated’, and if we had been there, we wouldn’t have. JfJfP doesn’t do ‘gloating’. Rather we grieve for the abandonment of the humanitarian values of Judaism which have been corrupted by the Israeli state’s human-rights abuses.

Yours faithfully,
Vivien Lichtenstein

First of all, Mariella, it is not I who says this, I am quoting others. And if Oxford employs him, so much worse for Oxford's reputation.

As I said, I do not need help from you. As for my time, I think it is up to decide how I spend it. I do not remember delving into the issue of how you spend your own time. Believe me, I would rather have spent time otherwise, debating fanatics does not give me much pleasure. However, I just could not remain silent seeing all these falsifications. I do not want others to be misled.

“That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour. That is the whole Torah, the rest is commentary.”
RABBI HILLEL

WE BELIEVE THAT
Peace in the Middle East will only come about with mutual recognition and respect and must be seen as just by both sides.
Peace requires the end of illegal occupation and settlement.
Violence against civilians is unacceptable.
Israel’s policies in the West Bank and Gaza are breeding hatred and resentment.
It is crucial that Jews speak out for Palestinians’ human rights.
The humanitarian values of Judaism have been corrupted by the Israeli state’s human-rights abuses.
A lasting peace must be seen as just by both sides.
Britain, the EU, the USA, Russia and the UN must be persuaded to implement UN resolutions on Palestine.
IF YOU AGREE then link up with over one thousand six hundred other Jews in Britain who make up Jews for Justice for Palestinians

The Torah teaches: ‘Justice, justice, you shall pursue’ (Deuteronomy 16:20).
To secure a lasting settlement to the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis so they can live in peace and security, thrive side by side, and co-operate together, Jews today are obligated to pursue justice on behalf of both peoples.”

RABBI ELIZABETH TIKVAH SARAH

WHO WE ARE
Jews for Justice for Palestinians is a network of Jews who are British or live in Britain, practising and secular, Zionist and not. We oppose Israeli policies that undermine the livelihoods, human, civil and political rights of the Palestinian people.

We support the right of Israelis to live in freedom and security within Israel’s 1967 borders.

As well as organising to ensure that Jewish opinions critical of Israeli policy are heard in Britain, we extend support to Palestinians trapped in the spiral of violence and repression. We believe that such actions are important in countering antisemitism and the claim that opposition to Israel’s destructive policies is itself antisemitic.

We cooperate with other organisations on specific issues without necessarily endorsing everything they do.

We work to build world-wide Jewish opposition to the Israeli Occupation, with like-minded groups around the world and are a founding member of European Jews for a Just Peace, a federation of Jewish groups in ten European countries whose principles include:

condemnation of all violence against civilians in the conflict, no matter by whom it is carried out;
recognition of Israel’s 1967 ‘green line’ borders;
commitment to the Palestinians’ right to a state in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza;
calling on Israel to acknowledge its part in the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem and its obligation to negotiate a just, fair and practical resolution of the issue.
“Israel must withdraw from all the settlements and dismantle the wall within Palestinian territory.
Then, perhaps, we may at last see some justice for Palestinians.”

@JJ "Also, the allusion to 'Friday night' was of course not lost on anyone here"

Agreed. Classic slip up - using the word Zionist but meaning Jew. The hard-core, full-time Israel-hater would never let themselves make that error.

Please help Alexander thinks he is helping the world. He has had to take time out from his busy schedule to bring forward the truth. Don't know about you but I don't even remember much of what he said. It wasn't that memorable.

This is what Alexander said of Julia: However, just for the record, I have nothing to be ashamed of in terms of being linked to Julia, her posts are 1,000 times more cogent, coherent, intelligent, and factual than yours. Just wanted to share with you some of Julia’s gems.
The point of calling someone Nuts or Mad is sometimes necessary as it helps us understand if the person is worth listening to or if they are being not rational.
@ Agoodword, you write alot of words but say very little in terms of substance or how and why you have arrived at your airy fairy little outburst

Mehdi is obsessed with Israel, simple. Everything Mehdi says about UN resolutions etc against Israel is bullshit. Since there is the Organisation of the Islamic Conference block of 57 countries that vote against Israel while maintaining their own barbaric ways, preventing any meaningful discussion of sharia, or of the incompatibility of the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Uncle Sam, on planet earth you dumb fuk :) as I said Israel is always singled out, read my post, watch those clips. Other country's kill and do with they want with impunity as the Islamic despotic nations say nothing about themselves, Hypocriticy and Obsession with Israel as the only nation who can do anything wrong at the UN...

I am happy for them spout there incorrect views as I know my understanding and ideals are superior and better than there - so have no problem in putting them in there place.

JVP Rabbinical Council Says No to an Attack on Iran!

Posted on March 8, 2012by Rabbi Brant Rosen

We, the undersigned American Jewish clergy, are deeply concerned about reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu will demand of President Obama, at their meeting at the White House today, that either the United States attack Iran, or else, Israel will.

We do not welcome the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran. We call on all the military forces in the region – including Israel’s – to divest themselves of their nuclear armaments and renounce any belligerent nuclear aspirations.

The State of Israel refuses to acknowledge its own nuclear arsenal or to submit to international monitoring. We believe it is hypocritical of Israel to demand of Iran what it refuses to agree to itself.

Most of the people of the State of Israel oppose Prime Minister Netanyahu’s military threats against Iran. They fear the consequences of an attack on Iran. As Jewish leaders, we too believe that the path of wisdom towards achieving peace and stability in the region is through dialog and engagement and not through acts of war. We call on the United States government to safeguard the interests of the people of Israel and Iran.

Nine years after the United States launched a war against Iraq that is widely recognized as having been badly executed and unjustified, Israel would have the U.S. implicate itself in a new war in the region, this time against Iran. We believe that Jews, and other Americans, will not support more reckless adventurism in the Middle East.

In this election year, we call on President Obama not to give in to warmongering. As Jewish leaders we cannot endorse an Israeli act of war against the people of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Bible teaches us: “bakesh shalom v’rodfehu - seek peace and pursue it.” We urge President Obama to stand firm and to use his power as Israel’s chief supporter to draw Israel to the path of peace and justice.

Interpol hunts two Israelis for Kosovo organ trafficking

Moshe Harel among seven indicted for membership of a criminal group trafficking people into Kosovo to remove human organs for transplant; another Israeli citizen, Zaki Shapira, identified as co-conspirator.
By The Associated Press

So you would know better than the University of Oxford. SO let me get this right Oxford University's reputation has been made worse by the employment of Tareq Ramadan.

SO there you have it . Great words of wisdom from Alexander.

Keep digging!!!

Industrial scale of Israeli organ theft. Netcare, the biggest health care provider in South Africa, has pleaded guilty to charges of performing illegal kidney transplant operations using Israeli-linked organ trafficking syndicate.
In return for charges being dropped against Netcare's Chief Executive Richard Friedland, the firm acknowledged in a plea bargain that, "payments must have been made to the donors for their kidneys, and that certain of the kidney donors were minors at the time that their kidneys were removed."

The suit follows a seven-year investigation into the illegal operations at St. Augustine's Hospital in Durban in association with an Israeli-linked organ trafficking syndicate.

According to reports, while organs had originally been sourced from Israeli citizens, they were later obtained from poor Romanians and Brazilians at a lower cost.

According to prosecutors, the Israelis were paid about USD 20,000 for their kidneys, while the Brazilians and Romanians were paid an average of USD 6,000.

Other related reports surfaced regarding 25,000 Ukrainian children who had been brought to Israel over the past two years to be used by Israeli medical centers for their "spare parts."

Additionally, the Israeli military was accused of stealing the organs of Palestinian prisoners.

The illegal operations in South Africa included the removal of organs from five children.

@Alexander: I'm also wondering where have these misfits come from. They actually sound like EDL or BNP. But some of them are Nation of Islam from the US. It's all very strange.

Then you had those with the Jewish sounding monikers...

Olijaan, again, if you read this excerpt you will see that Mr. Rafsanjani did not use this concept defensively. He did not say that Iran would use nuclear weapons only if attacked by Israel. To say that the strategy will reach the "stalemate" stage in view of Iran's nuclear weapons is tantamount to saying that Iran could use nuclear weapons offensively against the strategy in question. By putting this in the form he did, he endorsed this sort of use. And, again, people who criticized him for going too far, had precisely this in mind.

The Torah Demands Justice for the Palestinians

Presented by Rabbi Dovid Weiss of NKI

At Time Square in Manhattan

on Friday afternoon, June 1, 2001.

With the Creator's help, may my words and those of all the speakers today - help sanctify the name of G-d.

Daily tales of horror, reach us every day from the Holy Land. Innocent people, Palestinians and also Jews all suffer.

@TOUSANT

I'm not sure that I would equate Islamism with fascist ideology it's not that 'sophisticated'. I would simply equate it with primitive savagery.

THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID TOUSANT. LET THE READERS JUDGE. YOUR COMMENTS ON TURKEY, PAKISTAN ET AL BELIE AN EXTREME IGNORANCE.

As for your comments on the Iranian Jewish population. All Iranians are free to come and go, including the large number of Iranian Jews who holiday on the Aegean coast in Turkey. Surely the threat of stealing property pales in comparison to fleeing to save your life. SO let me get this straight: the Jews in Iran won't leave because their property will be stolen. I seem to remember the same arguments were used about Moroccan Jews. Despite several campaigns by Israel, Iranian Jews have elected to stay put. Indeed the numbers leaving are going down. You raise the question of religious practice. In point of fact freedom of worship is enshrined in the constitution.
