		<description>WHO recently said: &quot;These Jews started 19 crusades. The 19th was World War I. Why? Only to build Israel.&quot; Some holdover Nazi? Hardly.

It was former prime minister Necmettin Erbakan of Turkey, a NATO ally. He went on to claim that the Jews - whom he refers to as &quot;bacteria&quot; - controlled China, India and Japan, and ran the US.
 
Who alleged: &quot;The Arabs who were involved in 9/11 co-operated with the Zionists, actually. It was a co-operation. They gave them the perfect excuse to denounce all Arabs.&quot;

A conspiracy nut? Actually it was former US senator James Abourezk. He denounced Israel on a Hezbollah-owned television station, adding: &quot;I marvelled at the Hezbollah resistance to Israel ... It was a marvel of organisation, of courage and bravery.&quot;
 
And finally, who claimed at a UN-sponsored conference that democratic Israel was &quot;much worse&quot; than the former apartheid South Africa and that it &quot;undermines the international community&#039;s reaction to global warming&quot;?

A radical environmentalist wacko? Again, no. It was Clare Short, a member of the British parliament. She was secretary for international development under prime minister Tony Blair.
 
A new virulent strain of the old anti-Semitism is spreading worldwide.
 
This hate - of a magnitude not seen in more than 70 years - is espoused not just by Iran&#039;s loony President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or radical jihadis. The latest anti-Semitism is also now mouthed by world leaders and sophisticated politicians and academics. Their loathing often masquerades as &quot;anti-Zionism&quot; or &quot;legitimate&quot; criticism of Israel.
 
But the venom exclusively reserved for the Jewish state betrays their existential hatred.
 
Israel is always lambasted for entering homes in the West Bank to look for Hamas terrorists and using too much force. But last week the world snoozed when the Lebanese army bombarded and then crushed the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp, which harboured Islamic terrorists. The world has long objected to Jewish settlers buying up land in the West Bank. Yet Hezbollah, flush with Iranian money, is now purchasing large tracts in southern Lebanon for military purposes and purging them of non-Shiites.
 
In the US, &quot;neo-conservative&quot; has become synonymous with a supposed Jewish cabal of Washington insiders who hijacked US policy to take us to war in Israel&#039;s interest. Yet when the US bombed European and Christian Serbia to help Balkan Muslims, few critics alleged that American Muslims had unduly swayed Bill Clinton.
 
And such charges of improper ethnic influence are rarely levelled to explain the billions in American aid given to non-democratic Egypt, Jordan or the Palestinians, or the Saudi oil money that pours into American universities.
 
The world likewise displays such a double standard. It seems to care little about the principle of so-called occupied land - whether in Cyprus or Tibet - unless Israel is the accused.
 
Mass murder in Cambodia, the Congo, Rwanda and Darfur has earned far fewer UN resolutions of condemnation than supposed atrocities committed by Israel. A number of British academics are sponsoring a boycott of Israeli scholars but leave alone those from autocratic Iran, China and Cuba.
 
There are various explanations for the new anti-Semitism. For many abroad, attacking Jews and Israel is an indirect way of damning its main ally, the US: by implying that Americans are not entirely evil, just hoodwinked by those sneaky and far more evil Jews.
 
In the US, there are obvious pragmatic considerations. Some Americans may find it makes more sense to damn a few million Israelis without oil than it does to offend Israel&#039;s adversaries in the Middle East, who number in the hundreds of millions and control nearly half the world&#039;s petroleum reserves.
 
Cowardice explains a lot. Libelling Israel won&#039;t earn someone a fatwa or a death sentence in the manner comparable criticism of Islam might. There are no Jewish suicide bombers in London, Madrid or Bali.
 
This new face of anti-Semitism is so insidious because it is so well disguised, advanced by self-proclaimed diplomats and academics, and now embraced by the supposedly sophisticated Left on university campuses.
 
When national, collective or personal aspirations are not met, it is far easier to blame someone or something rather than to look within for the source of the failure and frustration. More recently, someone must be blamed for getting terrorists (with oil and its profits behind them) mad at us.
 
That someone is - no surprise - once again Jews.

		<description>Hey, why are you still using that lame looney toon image, when &lt;a href=&quot;http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/blogagog/sad-1.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;I gave you one&lt;/a&gt; (for free) that looks much more real?  Don&#039;t be all partisan, Gavin (aka Brad Rocket).  As they say, don&#039;t look a gift horse in the mouth.

We all agree that the crazy right is better than the left at making images (we&#039;ve got to work a bit to make them look good, and let&#039;s face it - only the right loves to work), and I GAVE that one to you.

Don&#039;t be gay.  Take the pic.  It&#039;s free, and makes you look compitent!  (well, would have)</description>

		<description>The problem is not islamic supremacists.  It&#039;s Christians trying to say that they don&#039;t believe in evolution!  At least when the jihadists say &#039;&#039;Allahu Akbar&#039;, they&#039;re only trying to behead people, not like those evil Christians who are trying to actually prove things that probably aren&#039;t true!

Get those evil Christian bastages, so we can move along to peace.  The islamists will of course support your actions.

Oh, and death to america.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Granted, itâ€™s earned a measure of that disrespect, but the US embassy incident was nearly thirty years ago.&lt;/i&gt;

And the US efforts in overthrowing the democratically elected Mossadegh government were over 50 years ago, which earned the US a whole lot more than just disrespect in Iran. Particularly since the effects for them lasted about 26 years (and which also make the embassy incident more than a little understandable).

&lt;i&gt;A lot of Iranians are tired of being punished for their parentsâ€™ misdeeds. Isnâ€™t this why theyâ€™re working on a nuke?&lt;/i&gt;

No, actually. Well, in a sense, yes: they&#039;re being punished for their nation&#039;s ongoing failure to kowtow to the US. And I think they&#039;re more likely to want to build a nuke (please note that there&#039;s &lt;b&gt;no&lt;/b&gt; evidence that they&#039;re actually working on one) because the US government has been threatening and abusing them, and has invaded and occupied and devastated the country next door.

What would the US do, d&#039;you think, if Russia had invaded Canada, stomped around there for 4 years, during which they kept up an unrelenting barrage of threats and abuse at the US? Including repeatedly claiming that the US was evil, that there was a need for &quot;regime change&quot; throughout the North American continent, and that the US was responsible for Canadian resistance?

&lt;i&gt;Whoâ€™s holding Iranâ€™s leash?&lt;/i&gt;

Don&#039;t know, don&#039;t care. I think Iran is a mature country capable of walking without a leash. What I want to know is who&#039;s holding Bush&#039;s leash? And who the fuck let him out of his cage?</description>

<p>And the US efforts in overthrowing the democratically elected Mossadegh government were over 50 years ago, which earned the US a whole lot more than just disrespect in Iran. Particularly since the effects for them lasted about 26 years (and which also make the embassy incident more than a little understandable).</p>
<p><i>A lot of Iranians are tired of being punished for their parentsâ€™ misdeeds. Isnâ€™t this why theyâ€™re working on a nuke?</i></p>
<p>No, actually. Well, in a sense, yes: they&#8217;re being punished for their nation&#8217;s ongoing failure to kowtow to the US. And I think they&#8217;re more likely to want to build a nuke (please note that there&#8217;s <b>no</b> evidence that they&#8217;re actually working on one) because the US government has been threatening and abusing them, and has invaded and occupied and devastated the country next door.</p>
<p>What would the US do, d&#8217;you think, if Russia had invaded Canada, stomped around there for 4 years, during which they kept up an unrelenting barrage of threats and abuse at the US? Including repeatedly claiming that the US was evil, that there was a need for &#8220;regime change&#8221; throughout the North American continent, and that the US was responsible for Canadian resistance?</p>
<p><i>Whoâ€™s holding Iranâ€™s leash?</i></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t know, don&#8217;t care. I think Iran is a mature country capable of walking without a leash. What I want to know is who&#8217;s holding Bush&#8217;s leash? And who the fuck let him out of his cage?</p>

		<description>mikey, it&#039;s the same reason Bush thinks the Bush doctrine of preemptive warfare in &#039;self defense&#039; is only permissible for the US.

I mean, crikey, Iranian meddling in Iraq is a prime example of the Bush doctrine in action.</description>

		<description>When I walk my dog we pass a lot of other dogs being walked. Some she challenges, but she and this one other dog play an extended game of &quot;I can ignore you harder than you&#039;re ignoring me.&quot; It&#039;s a doggie status thing, saying, I have so little respect for you I won&#039;t even deign to notice you. This when they&#039;re standing two feet from each other.

Iran is sick of being treated like a pariah. Granted, it&#039;s earned a measure of that disrespect, but the US embassy incident was nearly thirty years ago. A lot of Iranians are tired of being punished for their parents&#039; misdeeds. Isn&#039;t this why they&#039;re working on a nuke? To &lt;i&gt;force&lt;/i&gt; the world, primarily the US, to stop playing these stupid doggy status games and show a decent measure of respect for one of the world&#039;s most ancient civilizations. If we keep playing I-don&#039;t-see-you, don&#039;t we risk making them mad enough and desperate enough to consider &lt;i&gt;using&lt;/i&gt; a nuke, not just building one? Starting a polite, non-committal conversation, something that would smooth their feathers and ease their wounded pride, might be the safest course.

Oh, by the way, my dog indulges in these doggy status games becuase she knows I&#039;m holding her leash and won&#039;t let her get into any &lt;b&gt;real&lt;/b&gt; trouble. Who&#039;s holding Iran&#039;s leash?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Such a country should never have nuclear weapons, or the ability to invade other countries, and the rest of the world should use force to prevent the accumulation of those powers.&lt;/i&gt;

And, to the extent that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, we need look no further than idiotic statements like this to understand why.  Hell, the saber rattling is driving them to it, even if they wouldn&#039;t have gone there on their own.

Jesus christs tits in a mason jar.  Has ANY American ever even read the NPT?  Even the wikipedia article?  Makes me wanna put a wingnut in a hole and throw books at him...
