NYPD: Iran involved in nine plots against Israeli or Jewish targets around the world this year

In a sane world, Iran would be an international pariah, with organizations and schools organizing boycott and divestment campaigns against Iran. Instead, Israel is targeted not only by the Jew-hating jihadis in Iran and around the world, but by their Useful Idiots in Western government, business and academia. "U.S. links Iran to nine 2012 plots against Israeli targets around the world: report," by Mark Hosenball for Reuters, July 20 (thanks to Kenneth):

New York police believe Iranian Revolutionary Guards or their proxies have been involved so far this year in nine plots against Israeli or Jewish targets around the world, according to restricted police documents obtained by Reuters.
Reports prepared this week by intelligence analysts for the New York Police Department (NYPD) say three plots were foiled in January, three in February and another three since late June. Iran has repeatedly denied supporting militant attacks abroad.

The documents, labeled “Law Enforcement Sensitive,” said that this week’s suicide bomb attack in Bulgaria was the second plot to be unmasked there this year.

The reports detail two plots in Bangkok and one each in New Delhi, Tbilisi, Baku, Mombasa and Cyprus. Each plot was attributed to Iran or its Lebanese Hezbollah militant allies, said the reports, which were produced following the bombing in Burgas, Bulgaria of a bus carrying Israeli tourists.

Iran on Thursday dismissed “unfounded statements” by Israel linking Tehran to the Burgas blast, saying they were politically motivated accusations which underscored the weakness of the accusers.

Wednesday’s bombing in the Black Sea city is listed in a document headed “Suspected Iranian and/or Hezbollah-linked Plots Against Israeli or Jewish Targets: 2012 Chronology”, the latest of the nine 2012 plots linked to the Islamic Republic or its proxies.

U.S. officials say they increasingly concur with Israeli assessments that Iran and its proxies organized the killing of seven Israeli tourists in Burgas by a suicide bomber after they boarded an airport bus.....

Iran has repeatedly denied supporting militant attacks abroad.

is that anything like Iran 'denied' they are building atomic bombs and missiles to deliver them? The MSM always had a stock disclaimer, that Iran claims they are 'refining uranium for peaceful purposes'... etc. So who do you believe? Iran, the MSM?... Neither?

When a core operating principle of your, cough, "religion" is lying to non-Muslims, ya can never trust whatever they say.

Ya reap what ya sow.

For anyone stumbling in here who is new to this site and this subject.

Here are the two reasons why the Islamic Republic of Iran is sponsoring plots to attack and kill not just Jews from Israel, but Jews qua Jews, worldwide.

Reason 1 is that Jew-hatred, hatred of Jews *as such* - a hatred that is deep, permanent and venomous - is hard-wired into all the core texts of Islam and suffuses Islamic theology and 'law' - whether the Muslims involved are Shiites, who dominate and rule in Iran, or Sunnis, who dominate and rule pretty well everywhere else in the Islamic world.

Maimonides writing ca 1200 to the Jews of Yemen, who were being violently persecuted and threatened with forced conversion to Islam, stated that *no-one* had ever treated the Jews as badly, as cruelly, as the Muslims had done and were continuing to do. (He says 'the Arabs' but he means Arab Muslims, because at the time he wrote, pretty nearly all Arabs were Muslims, and Islam is in any case the Arab Imperial Religion, even if most of its adherents today are not ethnically Arab):

"God has hurled us in the midst of this people, the Arabs, who have persecuted us severely, and passed baneful and discriminatory legislation against us. . .[I suspect he means, here, by 'legislation', the discriminatory and cruelly oppressive Dhimma system - dda].

"**Never did a nation molest, degrade, debase, and hate us as much as they. . . .** [emphasis added - dda].

There are detailed accounts of that hatred, and how it worked out in practice - in the oppression, dispossession, and periodic mass -murder of Jews within Muslim-dominated lands - in books such as Bostom's 'Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism', and Martin Gilbert's 'In Ishmael's House' and David Littmann's 'Exile in the Maghreb'.

And Shiite Jew-hatred is especially virulent.

Shi’ite Iran’s Genocidal Jew Hatred
By Andrew G. Bostom

The American Thinker | Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Reason number 2 follows from reason number one: hating Jews, and seeing Jews as requiring to be below the boot of the Muslims as near-slave dhimmis, the Muslims are driven into fits of frothing rage by the spectacle of Jews wresting back a small part of traditional Jewish territory from out of the claws of the Empire of Islam, and defending that reclaimed territory by force of arms, and living and prospering, not as cowed and terrified dhimmi serfs of lordly Muslims, but as **free people**.

Here is an article that admirably sums up the matter.

A small clarification to the above.

For "and living and prospering, not as cowed and terrified dhimmi serfs of lordly Muslims, but as **free people**" read "and living and prospering as **free people**, rather than eking out a miserable existence as cowed and terrified dhimmi serfs of lordly Muslims".

It's a sign of the times and should be no surprise to anyone who knows.
We're living in a world where the obvious is invisible and the hidden is believed to be the truth. In other words, Iran is the enemy, but people can't see it - Israel is our friend but people cannot see it.
Fools are at large everywhere and for a short time at least, these fools will rule the World!

I wish this fact were common knowledge in the West. I trust no Muslim unless he says he will try to kill me.

Trust no Muslim unless he says he will try to kill you. Everything else is a lie.

The NYPD provides more reliable advice on terrorism than the National Security Council and that imbecile John Brennan.

dumbledoresarmy,

Although jews are # 1 on islam's hit list, there are many others targets.

Actually easier to work top down. Infidels are THE target, because islam is an anti-western ideology, masquerading as a religion, and it wants to conquer the world.

# 2 target : crusaders/Catholic Church/Christians. The left wing media doesn't report it, but every other month or so the muslim bastards in Turkey "off" a Roman Catholic priest.

The islams were hand in hand with Hitler in rounding up jews to send them to concentration camps, and eventual gassing.

islam is probably the most lethal of the "isms" ever invented by man ... more dangerous than communism, nazism, or any other take-your-pick-ism.

One of the main reasons islam is so lethal, is that there always seems to be enough morons on planet earth, since lying, murdering, bastard mohammad infested this planet around 750 B.C., that actually think islam is a religion.

Apologies for going OT, but I thought I'd share with you a glimpse of Obama's Egypt.

""U.S. links Iran to nine 2012 plots against Israeli targets around the world,"

And yet President Obama does nothing to help our old allie Israel. Why? Well lets just say Obama isn't as much a patriot or Christian as he thinks. Where as, as much as the United States new allies are very much radiacl Islamists and not so much Israelis.

This is a sorry state of affairs (upside down) as it would seem and yet even our own legislators dare not sound the alarm for fear they may be politically incorrect.

God help us....

These "Useful Idiots in Western government, business and academia" are either incredibly stupid or are terrorists themselves in by way of supporting the likes of Iran.
