Islamic Republic of Iran launches “We Love Fighting Israel” campaign

Dec 10, 2014 2:51 pm By Robert Spencer

LovefightingZionistsGlorifying hatred and savagery, even among the youngest children, and paving the way for a war that is certain to come. “Iran Launches ‘We Love Fighting Israel’ Campaign,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, December 10, 2014:

The Iranian regime has launched a nationwide social media campaign called, “We Love Fighting Israel,” which encourages Iranian children, teens, and Internet users to photograph themselves alongside messages of hate for the Jewish state.

The movement has sprouted online in the last few days across social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms as a result of a recent call by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rallying the nation to take on Israel.

The campaign drew outrage from opponents of Iran’s hardline regime and calls for sites such as Instagram to shut it down for violating policies against hate speech.

Thousands of Iranians are reported to have already joined the electronic movement following comments by Khamenei’s outlining Iran’s goal of destroying the Jewish state.

“Our people love fighting against the Zionists and the Islamic Republic has proved this as well,” Khamenei was quoted as saying in a recent speech by the country’s state-run media. “By Allah’s Favor and Grace, we have passed through the barrier of denominational discord.”

These remarks inspired Iranian social media users to take to the Internet and launch the “We Love Fighting Israel” movement. The campaign even has spawned its own hashtag on Twitter, “#FightingtheZionists.”

The anti-Israel campaign now “has gone viral on the web,” according to Iran’s state-controlled Mehr News Agency, “getting more and more boost from individuals who post photos reading similar sentences, [and] sharing the #Fightingthezionists hash tag.”

More than 300 pictures have already been posted to an Instagram account titled, “FightingTheZionists.” The account, which had some 3,000 followers as of Tuesday evening, links to Khamenei’s personal Instagram account.

Users post pictures with messages declaring, “We love fighting against Israel,” “I love to fight Israel,” “We are lovers of fighting Israel,” and “I love fighting against Zionists,” among other similar messages.

One picture in particular has caught the eye of Iran critics on the web and prompted a harsh response to the anti-Israel campaign.

The photo shows a young child decked out in military gear and holding a sign that translates from Farsi as, “I love fighting against Zionists.”

Captioned alongside the photo is an English language message that reads: “Our people love fighting against the Zionists and the Islamic Republic has proved this as well, Ayatollah Khamenei.”

It is not the only photo to depict young children as participating in the campaign to fight Israel.

The photos posted on the Instagram page depict “several groups of people including war veterans, students, journalists, and people from all walks of life joining the campaign,” according to Mehr News….

      “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.” — Romans 12:9

      Hate what is evil? Well, then it’s pretty clear; I am to hate evil islam. Period. And I hate the evil crimes committed by muslims. I hate all sin.

      And we must fight the good fight of faith and stand for freedom–alongside Israel, and to speak the ugly TRUTH about evil islam wherever possible.

      I hate evil islam …

      And I *LOVE* Israel, Freedom & Truth!! …long live Israel!

        Well said Champ and may I echo your sentiments. LONG LIVE ISRAEL. Iran is now pushing toward total destruction as it continues it’s rhetoric toward Israel and in time when these tactics have no effect it will resort to military attacks to which Israel will respond with devastating results. FOR IRAN. Come the day!
        I, TOO, HATE ISLAM. I DO NOT HATE MUSLIMS. I PITY THEM.

        Christy’s gotten careless with the CTRL+C CTRL+V!

        Hating Islam is hating hate, not hating a person. Islam directs people to hate. Islam directs people to “have no eternal life.”

        Tell us more about yourself Christy–do you have other keys on your keyboard?

        Who is the apple of God’s eye? Who curses those that curse the people of the Torah? Moslems “love” to fight the Zionists. Surely moslem “love” is perverse. Does God love perversion? Miss Christy, I ask you, don’t throw acid on us at JW.

        Dec 11, 2014 at 1:11 pm

        “christy” is **grossly** misapplying the above passage from the Bible (1 John 3:15); since mohammedans are NOT “brothers” in Christ to a Christian …in fact mohammedans are considered to be “unbelievers” to a Christian:

        “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” — 2 Corinthians 6:14

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        Question: “What does it mean to be unequally yoked?”

        Answer: http://www.gotquestions.org/unequally-yoked.html

        Excerpt …

        The “unequal yoke” is often applied to business relationships. For a Christian to enter into a partnership with an unbeliever is to court disaster. They have opposite worldviews and morals, and business decisions that must be made daily will reflect one or the other. For the relationship to work, one or the other must abandon his moral center and move toward that of the other. More often than not, it is the believer who finds himself pressured to leave his Christian principles behind for the sake of profit and the growth of the business.

        Of course, the closest alliance one person can have with another is found in marriage, and this is how the passage is usually interpreted. God’s plan is for a man and a woman to become “one flesh” (Genesis 2:24), a relationship so intimate that one literally and figuratively becomes part of the other. Uniting a believer with an unbeliever is essentially uniting opposites, which makes for a very difficult relationship.

        ”1 John 3:15 “Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer at heart, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.”

        That means that YOU will be burning in hell Loser along with all your fellow haters on here”

        So, does that mean all the mohammedans who hate the Jews and want to murder them, will end up burning in hell ? What about the ISIS murderers ? Same thing ? Goody.

        What about yourself, Christy-pops ? You hate Champ, and the rest of us, so you’ll be burning in hell, right ? Idiot. 🙂

    What is interesting here is the stamp below the English translation and the way he posted his name. Kia is not a Farsi name. On that stamp his name is Kiarash which is a Farsi name. What is also puzzling the year on top of the stamp. It say the year 1377. It is now the year 1394 in Iran. That said the genocidal Iranian government is so desperate to draw attention of people from the miserable life they are having specially economics and inflation hovering at 40%. .m

    Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah’s Messenger [Muhammad] (may peace be upon him) as saying: You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me); kill him.

    The new congress will be happy to give Israel not only their blessing to defend itself but the green light to release the whirlwind that Iran has been sewing for so very long. Iran will never know what hit it and will run off like a little bitch. Or maybe just melt into a sea of glass.

    The next President of the United States will release the Big Dog (Israel) that it loves, and they will let the Big Dog hunt, and eat! Iran will learn the hard way. the current administration not withstanding, that the American Bible belt will always be Israel’s safety belt.

    Love? There’s not a drop of that in Islam. ‘Love does not kill to save, if it did, murder would be salvation’…What the Mullah means is ‘like’, they ‘like’ fighting Israel…Love has nothing to do with it…

    I know Islam does not read the Bible, so it does not know what is coming. Ezekiel 39 is very clear on it. The problem with Islam is that a huge % of them are illiterate and so all they know is what the imam in the mosque feeds them. They have nothing to compare with, nothing to think about critically, and if they dared to, they’d be killed. Any society that kills off its thinkers, impoverishes itself to the lowest common denominator. Be sorry for them.

  12. Morty Mooze says

    There is some truth to the above. History of Jewish Muslim relationships require much deeper study.

    However in the past 150 years Jews have passed Muslims in a wide variety of intellectual fields and claiming almost 1/3 of all Noble prizes.

    Islamic society has stalled, spurted and the retreated into the 7th century CE.
    Sunni and Shia are killing each other – it’s like the semi-finals; and the winner will take on the Jews for the championship!

    While Muslims are obsessed with JEW-bashing they will never advance to the status attained by the Jews,Zionists, and Israel.

    Christy, you merely copied and pasted someone else’s somewhat inaccurate historical comments.
    Plagiarism does not equal creativity.
