Iran: "Israeli death squad" responsible for Sandy Hook massacre

"I wonder if they actually **believe** any of the insane rubbish they peddle, or if it is just deliberate lying and cynicism, fuelled by vicious anti-Semitism."

Both -- both at the same time -- in the same way that people who have believed and propagated the lies held by genocidal anti-Jewish bigotry have always been believed and propagated those lies.

This -- from the Islamic regime in Iran, and from the larger Muslim world, and from the Arab world in general -- is a direct legacy of Nazi propaganda to the Arab and Muslim world in the 1930's and 1940's -- most influentially propagated from the shortwave radio transmitter Radio Zeesen in Germany from 1941 to 1945 by the founder of the 'Palestinian movement' Haj Amin al-Husseini.

Jihad and Jew-Hatred: An Interview with Matthias Küntzel

"...The main achievement of Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem, was to combine the Jew-hatred of ancient Islam with modern anti-Semitism into a new and persuasive rhetoric. I discovered a speech he gave in 1937 with the title, ‘Jewry and Islam.’ Here, he intermingled modern anti-Semitism [with] the stories of very early Islam, going back and forth from the 7th and the 20th centuries, and connecting both kinds of Jew-hatred. This was something new. ..."

As Matthias Küntzel has explained:

Traditional Islamic anti-Jewish bigotry viewed Jewish people -- as an conceptual imaginary entity: "The Jews" -- as being "small" -- powerless, worthless, disgusting, pathetic slaves.

Western anti-Jewish bigotry views Jewish people -- as an conceptual imaginary entity: "The Jews" -- as being "big" -- powerful, evil, controllers of the world -- killers of God, no less.

The Islamic world was exposed to, and adopted, Western genocidal anti-Jewish bigotry in the early twentieth century through the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" conspiracy theory ideology about the Jewish people that was the core part of Nazi propaganda.

"Islamophobia" or "Truthophobia"?, by Matthias Küntzel
http://www.matthiaskuentzel.de/contents/islamophobia-or-truthophobia

"...First, while racism usually makes people 'small' in order to enslave, exploit or expel them, anti-Semitism makes the Jews delusionally 'big.' The most important characteristic of anti-Semitism is a conspiracy theory that holds the Jews responsible for both capitalism and communism, for AIDS, revolutions and financial crises—in short, for every 'inexplicable' catastrophe of modernity...."

A crucially important talk on Western anti-Jewish bigotry and on the role that it's playing in the West's adoption of the Islamic supremacist movement's genocidal anti-Jewish narrative that the Islamic supremacist political movement is deliberately consciously strategically propagating toward the Western world:

YIISA (Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism) was founded in 2006 and was was shut down in 2011. It was shut down in accordance with, and as part of, the bigotry that is discussed in this talk by Catherine Chatterley.

Jake, I seem to recall that not so very long ago, the Iranian Muslims read an article in The Onion...and **believed it**.

They did wake up to it and explained to their readers, but it was still horribly embarrassing for them...teehee.
