Propaganda war latest: Tehran 3 Israel 0

Iran’s tactic of portraying its enemy as facing inevitable destruction is proving successful

As Iran’s leadership prepares to dispatch a Red Crescent flotilla to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, its propaganda organs are spreading one message throughout the Muslim world: the Jewish state, branded by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as “the Zionist stain of shame”, is heading for its inevitable destruction.

An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said of these aid ships that “if this symbolic campaign continues, it will result in the surrender of the Zionist regime, which will certainly be one of its biggest defeats”.

Over the past three years, Iran’s Khomeinist regime has succeeded in changing the traditional perception of Israel. Instead of Israel being the almost invincible enemy that crushed the Arabs in the Yom Kippur War and the Six Day War, it is now portrayed as a waning power, a small and vulnerable enclave that, having lost the support of its powerful protector, the United States, is facing the might of a resurgent Muslim world under Tehran’s leadership.

This message is pumped out through Iranian satellite television stations, such as the Arab language al-Alam News Network. Tehran also publishes scores of magazines and books that are freely distributed throughout the Muslim world. Muslim opinion-formers are regularly invited to Iran for seminars on the pan- Islamic campaign to accelerate “the inevitable end of Israel”, a phrase repeatedly used by Iran’s official media. Mr Ahmadinejad has visited more than two dozen Muslim countries to propagate this new anti-Israel strategy.

No so. Israel can get it out of the symbolic and elevate to the level of war.

Sink the Iranian naval vessels.

Then Israel has its reason to attack Iranian nuke sites.

"As Iran’s leadership prepares to dispatch a Red Crescent flotilla to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza..."

If this is true then this will be the beginning of the SHTF

I think you are LIKELY quite right.

1. Muslims have . . . perhaps by

A) Spiritual genetics;
B) Choice;
C) Cultural/family conditioning;
D) Demonic oppression, possession & influence;
E) Relentlessly flaunted and wallowed in, consumed in;

.

A GIBRALTAR SIZED ARROGANT, HAUGHTY, DEFENSIVE, VOLITILE, FIERCE, INSECURE, 2-YEAR-OLD MENTALITY, SUICIDAL CHIP ON THEIR SHOULDERS.

They will not likely back down from any crisis they trigger because they suicidally cannot tolerate the loss of face their supidity would naturally result in. They would rather go down in a fiery disaster than live with the loss of face. They would even consider it the destined fate of Allah . . . and probably envy the stupidly suicidally dead their presumed 70 odd virgins.

It really is a grossly destructive, deadly, mindlessly enslaving, ignorant, demonized religion from hell. May God deliver all who truly seek HIM from it.

LET GOD ARISE AND HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED.

BINGO. Nailed it.

Oh, and coincidentally, pointing this out to them will cause them to try to blow up the kindergarten you kids attend while simultaneously claiming ultimate victimhood.

I find Islam the most repulsive philosophy in all of history. Satanism has more honorable traits than the rantings of the serial killer Pedophile "Prophet".

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Good points.

Thx for your kind words.

BTW vis a vis . . . kids . . .

having a vasectomy before kids helps solve a lot of genetic and other problems.

I wasn’t about to have a lot of my family’s psychodynamic, spiritual and/or junk visited upon another generation at my hand.

Thank you for the ping, Quix. I couldn’t agree more. For whatever reason they have bought the lie. They believe that to deceive is ‘holy’! That to bring about an end to all who do not believe as they do they must USHER IN the end of the world by CAUSING the chaos and violence needed for the ‘12th Imam’ (read as: The REAL Anti-Christ, IMHO) to arise from some well dug into the ground (read as: to rise from the pit of hell).

Everything I’ve read — especially in their 99 names (attributes) of god — point to the fact that they are the TRUE Satanists... Anton Levay (sp?) is simply a blasphemer and a mocker. These folks are the REAL deal - and they are completely blinded (at least the ones willing to kill themselves in jihad are...). I mean what religion OF GOD would believe that the taking of one’s own life is a ‘holy’ thing???

Had a strange dream last night about this stuff, but cannot remember enough of it to relate... I think the main point was that deception abounds, and even those who appear to be ‘moderate’ and ‘good’ have a fatal defect/flaw. IOW - Appearances can be deceiving.
