The propaganda jihad in Iran. From MEMRI, with thanks to EPG:
Iran's Sahar 1 TV station is currently airing a weekly series titled "For You, Palestine," or "Zahra's Blue Eyes." The series premiered on December 13, and is set in Israel and the West Bank. It broadcasts every Monday, and was filmed in Persian but subsequently dubbed into Arabic.The story follows an Israeli candidate for Prime Minister, Yitzhak Cohen, who is also the military commander of the West Bank. The opening sequence of the show contains graphic scenes of surgery, and images of a Palestinian girl in a hospital whose eyes have been removed, with bandages covering the sockets.
In Episode 1, Yitzhak Cohen lectures at a medical conference on the advances being made by Israeli medicine regarding organ transplants. Later in the episode, Israelis disguised as UN workers visit a Palestinian school, ostensibly to examine the children's eyes for diseases, but in reality to select which children's eyes to steal to be used for transplants.
In Episode 2, the audience learns that the Israeli president is being kept alive by organs stolen from Palestinian children, and an Israeli military commander is seen kidnapping UN employees and Palestinians.
Sahar TV also broadcast an interview with the director of the series, a former Iranian education ministry official, who discussed his motivations for making a series "about children."
At the MEMRI link are excerpts from the first two episodes, and from the interview with the series' director.
*YUCK*
Case for 'Clash of civilization'. It is difficult to think like them and vice versa. Keep them in their delusion.
It's easy to see why people learn to hate the Jewish population when they are shown propaganda like this.
This is what the Nazis did to make Germans hate the Jews so it would be easier to eliminate them and take their homes and businesses.
People ARE suggestible and uneducated people BELEIVE WHAT THEY SEE ON TV and in the news stands.
Anti-American forces here in the states, like Michael Moore, are doing the same thing to make Americans feel guilty and evil, when they make movies like Farenheit 441...
The mainstream media does the same thing when it shows ONLY the horrors in Iraq and NEVER shows the good Americans are trying to accomplish there.
We need some strong counter propaganda going on but the government and conservatives don't seem to know how to do that, or..think it isn't necessary. But I think it's critical that SOMEONE make some movies and TV shows that put America in a better light because the most suggestible among us are believeing the Anti-American message. Which makes us more vulnerable...
That they (Iranians) stoop to this to bolster their case against Israel and Jews implies the utter baselessness of the animosity. (If it were otherwise, they could just stick to the facts.)
Superstition all the way...
With this kind of depraved propaganda being spoon fed to masses of gullible people already full of hate for the Jews,this stuff is going to spread all over the Muslim world like a plague further intensifying Jewish hatred.This just may be the spark that ignites the fires of Armageddon.
Patricia, you've asked before about a counter-propaganda campaign and how you might contribute to our success. Let me begin by stating that though I'm talker, better-looking, and sexier than Mel Gibson I do not have as much money as he. Therefore, I'm trying to post a jpeg hand-out from one of our friends here. If it comes through, you'll have your wish to begin the fight on the paper front. If I can't transfer a jpeg attachment, I'll find a way for you and others to downlod it directly.
Yes, I'm also smarter than Einstein and a better speller than Mr Rogers.
This charge in the Iranian press of Israelis "stealing the eyes" of Arab ("Palestinian") children is identical to the charge being made in the Saudi government daily, Al-Watan – that the “U.S. military inIraq is harvesting and seling human organs.” And this, in turn, was then picked up by the Iranian press.
Here is the “Special Dispatch” just posted by MEMRI, that valuable source of material on the real Middle East, and not the one that ex-diplomats in Saudi pay, or Georgetown Centers of thisandthat, also supported by the Arabs, or of course 95% of the membership of Mesa Nostra, all flog.
Blood libel, little Hugh of Lincoln, that sort of thing. It’s back to the Dark Ages, thanks to those for whom it is the All Dark Ages, All the Time. :

Saudi Government Daily Accuses U.S. Army of Harvesting Organs of Iraqis
In the Saudi government daily Al-Watan, an article from Brussels written by
Fakhriya Ahmad charges that, based on alleged secret European military
reports, the U.S. military in Iraq is harvesting and selling human organs.
The following day, the story was also published in the Iranian daily
Jomhouri-ye Islami,(1) as well as the Syrian daily Teshreen.(2) The
following are excerpts from the article:(3)
"Secret European military intelligence reports indicate the transformation
of the American humanitarian mission in Iraq into a profitable trade in the
American markets through the practice of American physicians extracting
human organs from the dead and wounded, before they are put to death, for
sale to medical centers in America. A secret team of American physicians
follow the troops during their attacks on Iraqi armed men to ensure quick
[medical] operations for extracting some organs and transferring them to
private operations rooms before they are transferred to America for sale.
"The reports confirm the finding of tens of mutilated cadavers or cadavers
missing parts. Some were found without a head. The American military command
could not offer reasons to explain the bewilderment about the missing parts,
suggesting that this may have been caused by the penetration of bullets to
the [missing] parts. But these excuses cannot be medically accepted. The
reports also confirmed that the burning of bodies was deliberate in order to
conceal the crime of organ extraction. [The reports] further indicate that
American medical teams have [made] active and suspicious moves in Iraq to
recruit some Iraqis to guide them to dead and critically injured individuals
to engage in the extraction of organs. These teams offer $40 for every
usable kidney and $25 for an eye. The reports confirm the finding of
mutilated bodies in Fallujah. The reports indicate that the cadavers are
immunized inside special cars to prevent the spread of the plague until the
bodies are buried by their relatives.
"The reports have indicated that a number of those killed in 'Abu Ghraib'
and other prisons were subjected to operations for extracting their organs.
Following their mutilations, the bodies were discarded far from the prisons
to conceal the facts. The reports revealed that that the American forces
restricted the media by force to prevent them from getting near the scenes
and recording the events. But the relatives of the Iraqis are aware of these
facts. The reports have [also] indicated that the military forces of the
European allies have noticed the absence of organs from the cadavers that
were dealt with by the Americans and have reported to their high command,
which instructed them to maintain silence and to avoid the discussion of the
subject due to its gravity, while the military and intelligence high command
have written secret reports about was observed by their forces and sent them
to the European ministries of defense for their information."

Only two forms of entertainment are allowed in [theocratic] despotisms:
lickspittle agreement;
or paranoid science fiction.
This 'opus imbecilicus' fits in with the latter.
A storyline at the vapid 'urban legend'-level of drivel which matches the fabulously humorless crap spewed out under Stalin and Hitler and Mao.
As the Spirit of Christmas Present says:
"This boy is Ignorance.
Beware especially of him."
(I'm waiting for the upcoming episode -where Prime Minister Cohen sends out a squadron of eagle-eyed Jewish pilots, who have little blind Palestinian girls' stolen aqeous humors, on a mission to bomb the hell out of the secret Iranian nuclear program....)
Happy Holidays ALL!
Stupidity and ignorance is a cultural thing, I guess!
