Iran slams 'Zionist' campaign

Why so many allegations of Ahmadinejad's involvement with hostage taking and murder? Why, it's all because of the Zionists, of course! Fever dreams from Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi, via AP, with thanks to Mackie:

Iran hit back against claims that its ultraconservative president-elect was involved in taking American hostages a quarter-century ago, saying the campaign is being engineered by the US and Israel as part of a media trap.

The country's Foreign Ministry spokesman warned Europe, now involved in tricky nuclear talks with Iran, not to be influenced by what it called the "Zionist" campaign against ultra-conservative president-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The warning to Europe by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi comes as France, Germany and Britain lead European Union efforts to persuade Teheran to permanently halt its controversial nuclear enrichment activities, which the United States claims are part of Iran's plan to develop a nuclear arsenal.

Iran rejects such claims.

"Europeans should show their political maturity and not intertwine their interests with those of the Americans," Asefi told a press conference in Teheran. "They are advised to seriously avoid interference in this issue." He added: "The charges are so evidently false that they don't deserve an answer. It's clear that it's mere lies."

Ahmadinejad, who won a landslide presidential election victory last week, has been accused of taking American hostages when students seized the US Embassy in Teheran 26 years ago.

Six former hostages who saw the president-elect in a 1979 photo or on television said they believe Ahmadinejad was among the captors who held them for 444 days and one said he was interrogated by him.

And Austrian newspaper Der Standard quoted a top official with Austria's Green Party as saying authorities have "very convincing" evidence linking Ahmadinejad to the 1989 slaying of Abdul-Rahman Ghassemlou, an Iranian opposition Kurdish leader in Vienna.

The wave of allegations against Ahmadinejad was the outcome of disappointment from the presidential vote, Asefi said.

"That the result of the election was not predictable for them should not serve as a reason not to accept it," the spokesman said. "We can't dissolve the whole nation and create another nation to follow their wish."...

France, Germany and Britain are offering economic incentives to Iran to convince it to permanently freeze its enrichment program.

"We advise the Europeans not to fall into the trap of the Zionist media," Asefi warned.

I don't know how the Zionists had time to do this. I thought they were busy printing subliminal messages on Coke cans.

DO these Arabs not understand that Jews are human too? They give Jews a G-d like status when they say things like this. Apparently the Jews control everything. I would be quite complimented if I was a Jew.

The things these people believe are insane...completely INSANE!

Any hal;f decent TV network can make a humongousd reality show outta the sheer madness pervading arabic and persian tv channels. Simple clips here and there would serve the purpose. Like some mtv montage, the news emnating frm this region is freakin' unbelieveable more often than not. SOme times truth is stranger than fiction. In the ME, it almost always is.

Sweet pocadon, in answer to your question, of course the answer is No! The jooz aren't human! They derive their super human strength and survival from the fact that they are originally descendents of apes and pigs. They are monkey pig people! Thus the superhuman superiority complex. I mean, like, read the Koran! It must be true. Allah said it, I believe it, that settles it!

Divide and conquer, I hope Europe is smarter than that.

Jauhara Al-Kafirah ,

What an answer to my question! That was hysterical...I cant stop laughing! Thanx for makin my night. We should start a new religion of the worship of the super human pig-ape people...

"I don't know how the Zionists had time to do this. I thought they were busy printing subliminal messages on Coke cans."

LOL!!! Mr. Spencer, that was too funny. How did you know? The Jews spend their every waking hour trying to figure out ingenious ways to infiltrate the hearts and minds of the Arabs in the Middle East.

And, you haven't even mentioned how the Jews have inscribed on every grain of rice shipped through Haifa harbor and sold to the Arabs in Palestine, that G-d kicks Allah's butt. Oh, but I shouldn't have said that... Darn! Now they will be on to that one too. ;-)

But Iran is not an Arab country, but an Aryan country. Different in culture, ethnicity, language, religion and history.

Persia DOESNT EQUAL Arab


Are you people that dumb?

Are you mentally retarded? Step out the trailer and get some fresh air you white trash scum.

Iran has an Arab population of 3%. Israel is more of an Arab country than Iran.

"...trap of the Zionist media,"-if media would have been Zionist,there would have been no need for US to veto in favour of Israel against all the Anti-Israeli UN resolutions.

Thanks for contributing, dipshit. You must be real proud of your single digit IQ. Figuring you are telling JihadWatch posters something they don't already know, that Iranians are not Arabs. The below excerpts might interest you. :

Link

Iran has more than 5 million arabs living in Khuzestan, 2 million arab sunnis along the southern coast, 1 million arab immigrants in Qum, Veramin, Esfahan, Shiraz, Behbahan, Mash-had, Tehran seminaries.

There are 1 million arab speaking Faili shi’a Kurds in Iran

There is an indigenous arabic community in Khurasan.

Besides this there are millions of iranians of Arab descent

And Allah knows Best

_____________________

THERE ARE OVER 6 MILLION ARABS IN IRAN,BUT MOST LIVE IN KHUZESTAN,AND SOTHERS OR EASTERN IRAN,ATHER THAN TEHRAN. AND SO SOME PPL WHO THIK TEHRAN REPRESENTS IRAN MAY SAY IRAN IS NOT ARAB,BUT THE FACT IS IRAN IS A LARG NATION WITH A LARG ARAB POPULATIONS,AND TRUE MANY IRANIANS ARE OF ARAB DECENT,AS MANY IRAQIS AND BAHRAINIS AND KUWAITIS ARE OF IRANIAN DECENT…. AS WE CAN SEE IN OUR FAMILY NAMES,AND IN OUR HISTORY…. LIKE MOHEBBI,ANSARI,KA’ABI,ANVA,HEJAZI,GHA’ENI,HADDAD

...saying the campaign is being engineered by the US and Israel as part of a media trap...

Both the US and Israel know all about psychological warfare and how to apply it.
In the world of PW, this is a legitimate tactic.
The islamotactitions use it all the time, the main dept being terrorism. Everyone uses the "media" trap to impress each other or the public. Because they use it as a psychological tool, not always to the good, it is full of trickery. The "clever", have a big bag of tricks, their tricks work...The way to stop being tricked is to stop being tricked. First, realise that you are being tricked, them get pzzed off because it's an insult to your intelligence, then read up, study up on subject, and you will have overcome trickery. The media trap will no longer apply to you. Media free...may you live long and multiply untill truth and reality are re established in the lands....

Gary2121,

Wow! Maybe you could get your point across better if you didnt sound like a man who hasnt graduated the third grade yet.

"Are you mentally retarded? Step out the trailer and get some fresh air you white trash scum."

Instead of intellegence you use insults? But I am the white trash scum? Being that I am half Puerto Rican and half black that is the first time I was ever called white trash scum, but it is understandable coming from a man who probably has no friends and is better off dead than living within the human race.

Hey Gary2121 try developing some class and charisma..both of which you greatly lack, and then speak to me...otherwise go play in traffic

:)

Pocadon et al:

Gary2121 is gone, for the time being at least. Possibly, he is one and the same as the Zundelist troll, possibly not.

Whatever, when you bump up against posters of that sort, note the thread, copy the offending post and refer to Spencer to deal with it.

Posted by: waterdragon52 [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 6, 2005 1:06 PM

He was crackin me up...I wasnt offended at all, just humored...I just wanted to hand back the garbage he left on my lawn..if ya know what I mean. Thanx though...I will let Robert know from now on.

Pocadon:

On the thread about the 40,000 suicide bombers, Gary2121 left a comment hoping they killed lots of hook-nosed Jews. That's why I suggested being on the watch for the really irate posters as opposed to the merely irritating trolls.

Posted by: waterdragon52 [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 6, 2005 3:29 PM

Waterdragon,

Oh Man!! Thats horrible! I didnt see that post but just knowing it was said makes me fume. When people say nasty things like that the compassionate side of me wants to ignore them and say to myself they are just ignorant and dont know any better, but the other side of me wants to get him in a room with me and beat him until he is.....well you get the point.

I lived in a town with alot of Jews growin up and anti-semetism was rampant..people just hate Jews because they are Jews. Being a minority I understand..but it was different with them..the hate they had for the Jews was more sadistic and evil. Alot of these so called Christians were the worst...they would flip when I would tell them Jesus was a Jew and so is everyone else in the Bible.There is something out there that we cant see and it always seems to focus on the Jew..it wants the Jews gone...every last one of them. Very strange...like I always said in school...you got a problem with the Jews you gotta get through me first...I am honored to protect the chosen people....Oh man I am rambling...sorry..just angry

Posted by: pocadon [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 6, 2005 8:18 PM

Yes, Pocadon, anti-Semitism really is a malevolent disease, isn't it.
