Iran publishes book on how to outwit US and destroy Israel

Aug 1, 2015 5:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Palestine.jpgPeace in our time. “Iran publishes book on how to outwit US and destroy Israel,” by Amir Taheri, New York Post, August 1, 2015:

While Secretary of State John Kerry and President Obama do their best to paper over the brutality of the Iranian regime and force through a nuclear agreement, Iran’s religious leader has another issue on his mind: The destruction of Israel.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has published a new book called “Palestine,” a 416-page screed against the Jewish state. A blurb on the back cover credits Khamenei as “The flagbearer of Jihad to liberate Jerusalem.”

A friend sent me a copy from Iran, the only place the book is currently available, though an Arabic translation is promised soon.

Obama administration officials likely hope that no American even hears about it.
‘Reclaiming Muslim lands’

Khamenei makes his position clear from the start: Israel has no right to exist as a state.

He uses three words. One is “nabudi” which means “annihilation.” The other is “imha” which means “fading out,” and, finally, there is “zaval” meaning “effacement.”

Khamenei claims that his strategy for the destruction of Israel is not based on anti-Semitism, which he describes as a European phenomenon. His position is instead based on “well-established Islamic principles.”

One such principle is that a land that falls under Muslim rule, even briefly, can never again be ceded to non-Muslims. What matters in Islam is ownership of a land’s government, even if the majority of inhabitants are non-Muslims.

Khomeinists are not alone in this belief.

Dozens of maps circulate in the Muslim world showing the extent of Muslim territories lost to the Infidel that must be recovered.

These include large parts of Russia and Europe, almost a third of China, the whole of India and parts of The Philippines and Thailand.

However, according to Khamenei, Israel, which he labels as “adou” and “doshman,” meaning “enemy” and “foe,” is a special case for three reasons.

The first is that it is a loyal “ally of the American Great Satan” and a key element in its “evil scheme” to dominate “the heartland of the Ummah.”

The second reason is that Israel has waged war on Muslims on a number of occasions, thus becoming “a hostile infidel,” or “kaffir al-harbi.”

Finally, Israel is a special case because it occupies Jerusalem, which Khamenei describes as “Islam’s third Holy City.”

He intimates that one of his “most cherished wishes” is to one day pray in Jerusalem.
‘Israel fatigue’

Khamenei insists that he is not recommending “classical wars” to wipe Israel off the map. Nor does he want to “massacre the Jews.” What he recommends is a long period of low-intensity warfare designed to make life unpleasant if not impossible for a majority of Israeli Jews so that they leave the country.

His calculation is based on the assumption that large numbers of Israelis have double-nationality and would prefer emigration to the United States and Europe to daily threats of death.

Khamenei makes no reference to Iran’s nuclear program. But the subtext is that a nuclear-armed Iran would make Israel think twice before trying to counter Khamenei’s strategy by taking military action against the Islamic Republic.

In Khamenei’s analysis, once the cost of staying in Israel has become too high for many Jews, Western powers, notably the US, which have supported the Jewish state for decades, might decide that the cost of doing so is higher than possible benefits.

Thanks to President Obama, the US has already distanced itself from Israel to a degree unimaginable a decade ago.

Khamenei counts on what he sees as “Israel fatigue.” The international community would start looking for what he calls “a practical and logical mechanism” to end the old conflict.

Khamenei’s “practical and logical mechanism” excludes the two-state formula in any form.

“The solution is a one-state formula,” he declares. That state, to be called Palestine, would be under Muslim rule but would allow non-Muslims, including some Israeli Jews who could prove “genuine roots” in the region to stay as “protected minorities.”

Under Khamenei’s scheme, Israel, plus the West Bank and Gaza, would revert to a United Nations mandate for a brief period during which a referendum is held to create the new state of Palestine.

All Palestinians and their descendants, wherever they are, would be able to vote, while Jews “who have come from other places” would be excluded.

Khamenei does not mention any figures for possible voters in his dream referendum. But studies by the Islamic Foreign Ministry in Tehran suggest that at least eight million Palestinians across the globe would be able to vote against 2.2 million Jews “acceptable” as future second-class citizens of new Palestine. Thus, the “Supreme Guide” is certain of the results of his proposed referendum….

    It’s good that there are now quite a few people watching every communication from Islamist states in print and on the ariwaves, and even people within. EVERY method is needed to thwart this. If only the politicians took notice and made actions to counter these Islamists. Of course as long as the closet Muslim Obama is in office, that will not happen.

    If only Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would publish a new book explaining why he self-flagellates for Allah.
    Even Sunni Muslims aren’t that pathetic.

    Maybe Rezali could explain this.

    ‘Reclaiming Muslim lands’

    Aaaah good luck with that Mr. Khamenei…..

    It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. – Zechariah 12:7-9

    “The truth is that the Jewish homeland has always been Israel, the land God promised to Abraham and his descendants. In 1914, some eighty-five thousand Jews lived in Palestine, alongside some six thousand Arabs. At that time, Palestinian Jews outnumbered Palestinian Arabs fourteen to one. This population figure is often overlooked when Westerners discuss the Jewish-Arab conflict in Israel. The land of Israel has continuously been the Jewish homeland from the time of Abraham through the centuries of the Diaspora (Dispersion) and right up to the present day. Since biblical times, far more Jews than Arabs have lived in Palestine, and this was true long before the establishment of the State of Israel. So it is only reasonable that the Jews should have a homeland of their own on the land they have continuously occupied since Old Testament times.”

    “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel 37:21-23

    “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, “Know the LORD,” for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:31-34

    The Muslim Arabs of Palestine were not referred to as “Palestinians” until the Soviets and Arafat invented the “Palestinian” nationality in the 1960s, so as to defuse Israel’s image as a tiny Jewish state arrayed against numerous surrounding huge Arab states: an even smaller people was invented, menaced by the mighty Israeli war machine.)

    “Husseini’s meeting with Hitler did not represent a permanent or universal alliance between Muslims and Nazis,” but the meeting was far more than a “one-time, opportunistic consultation,” either. Husseini was important enough in Berlin to play a role in the Third Reich’s extermination of Jews. SS Hauptsturmfuehrer Dieter Wisliceny, a close collaborator of Adolf Eichmann, testified that “the grand mufti, who had been in Berlin since 1938, played a role in the decision of the German government to exterminate the European Jews the importance of which must not be disregarded. He had repeatedly suggested to the various authorities with whom he had been in contact, above all before Hitler, Ribbentrop and Himmler, the extermination of European Jewry. He considers this as a comfortable solution of the Palestine problem. In his messages broadcast from Berlin, he surpassed us in anti-Jewish attacks. He was one of Eichmann’s best friends and has constantly been cited him to accelerate the extermination measures. I heard say that, accompanied by Eichmann, he has visited incognito the gas chamber in Auschwitz.”

    And lest Mr. Khamenei claim Jerusalem belongs to Palestine here’s a few questions for him:

    1- When was Palestine founded and by whom?

    2- What were its borders?

    3- What was its capital?

    4- What were its major cities?

    5- What constituted the basis of its economy?

    6- What was its form of government?

    7- Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat?

    8- Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation?

    9- What was the language of the country of Palestine ?

    10- What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine ?

    11- What was the name of its currency? Choose any date in history and tell what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, Japanese yen, or Chinese yuan on that date

    “All Palestinians and their descendants, wherever they are, would be able to vote, while Jews “who have come from other places” would be excluded.”
    This fellow would be funny but for the fact that he is thoroughly evil.

    This psychotic fantasy is clearly the sign of a dying Islamic Iran–countries and people like this who do the most saber-rattling are usually the ones facing a highly uncertain and troublesome future. With such a young population, this regime will not last once this turd bites the dust.

    This is a very dangerous and workable scheme. The harassment plans are well along, with the prevalence of the BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) campaign against Israel. This is exactly the type of campaign which toppled the minority government of South Africa, which had already abolished apartheid as a legal entity.

    The countries most threatened by Muslim immigration, England, France, Denmark, Sweden, already support UN resolutions against Israel. I don’t know if it’s to sooth the crocodile of Islam, or because these countries are hopelessly leftist.

    The US has been running interference for Israel, making it illegal for any US company or company doing business with the US, to support the boycott against Israel. If the US withdrew effect support, the world would gang up on Israel and impose crippling sanctions. Israel cannot stand against the world by itself, any more than South Africa could.

    And the nuclear shield allowing Iran to sponsor ever-more-open terror attacks against Israel is exactly what Pakistan does with India. Pakistani intelligence almost openly supports terrorists like the Mumbai murderers, but the Indian army is limited in its responses because of the danger of a nuclear exchange. India is well able to wipe Pakistan out, conventionally or nuclear, but as a civilized country is not willing to engage in a massive loss of life.

    Hezbullah, an Iranian client, has tens of thousands of rockets ranged against Israel. 20 or 30 rockets a day over the long term would render northern Israel pretty much uninhabitable. A nuclear Iran could station troops in Hezbollah-occupied Lebanon and prevent Israel from responding appropriately to constant rocket attacks in its north.

      It’s not workable at all. Your example of South Africa has no parallel with Israel. Not in its function, not in its foundation, and not in its statistical reality.

      South Africa was not founded by a group of people who viewed their country as being ordained by a deity, originating from a book of myths and legends literally thousands of years old, which they all believe as real. South Africa was founded out of pure colonialism. And South Africa’s colonists were in the tiny minority. The place is was/is 80% black aboriginals! only 10% whites! Meanwhile, Israel is something like 75% Jewish. So, it’s the majority of people in charge of the country and literally exactly the opposite from South Africa at the time it was changed under international pressure.

      What is working and coming along at a rapid pace is the Islamic colonization of Europe. Those suicidal leftist retards are killing their own countries and running them into the ground with mass moslem immigration.

        Well, I don’t share your optimism. Israel is dependent on the rest of the world economically, and dependent on a few countries, the US in particular, for military development.

        This is from an Al Jazeera article, which is not unbiased, but does use Israeli sources, including al Jazeera interviews. You can find multiple articles in different news media detailing Israeli vulnerability to a boycott. A boycott takes a long time to work, but can devastate a country’s economy. I don’t think it’s necessarily antisemitism that drives the boycott: in my opinion, it’s the success of a Western-style government in the cesspool of Middle Eastern Islamic and Arab nationalist fascism.

        “The rise in boycott and divestment initiatives highlights, in part, the success of the BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) movement, a grassroots-based Palestinian campaign that calls for the end of occupation and equal treatment of Palestinian citizens of Israel. “The BDS movement [has] reached a tipping point in the Western mainstream,” said Omar Barghouti, a Palestinian human rights activist and co-founder of the movement. “A growing number of Western artists and bands now refuse to perform in Israel.”

        Barghouti also pointed to growing support for academic boycott of Israel in the U.S., Germany and Ireland as key indicators of this “qualitative leap.” Germany recently withdrew from all research and technology agreements with Israeli companies and research entities that are linked to settlements.”

    It’s all about Temple Mount. The caliph Abd al Malik created Islam by changing the qibla from Petra to Jerusalem. This through the entire Arab world into confusion. They had worshipped the idols in the great temple in Petra until that point. He insisted that they become monotheists, so he chose Jerusalem. Then he created the myths about Mohammed and placed the stories in a mythical, unprovable past 70 years earlier. (Mohammed was none other Abd al Malik in disguise.)

    The following caliphs confused matters more by placing ‘Mecca’ far to the south in a waterless, burning desert far from political controversy and raiding rivals. Mecca remained a small stop in the desert for hundreds of years.

    Muslims don’t even know why Jerusalem is important to them. It’s an excuse to fight. Most Muslims are so confused on the matter, they don’t know that the Koran commands Jews to ‘dwell in the land’ of Israel.

    I am quite surprised Khamenei has not ordered the remains of Persepolis completely obliterated.

    But I could at least be able to read that book in its native Persian (Farsi in their language).

    Where do I get my copy?

    “Outwit US”

    DONE!

    “Destroy Israel”

    er, um, er, we’ll make them scared so they’ll leave, er, yeah, that’s going to work, um, eventually, over a long, long time…

    Brilliant work of strategy from the death cult of the moon god, shi’ite division!

    Of course, part ! would never have worked if there wasn’t a covert moslem in the White House, dedicated to Israel’s destruction, but never mind! This book must be brilliant!

    Is there a chapter on sex with livestock like in the book by the founder of the regime?

    “Iran publishes book on how to outwit US and destroy Israel”

    I have a book that perfectly responds to Khamenei’s book: “The Art of War,” by Sun Tzu. Now if we could just get Obama and Kerry to read it . . . at the same time, I suspect Bibi can quote it verbatim.

    If the Mullahs didn’t have a whipping boy in the form of Israel then they would have had to invent one in order to justify their political circus.

    Muslims really ought to stop using cell phones and other wireless technology as they were created by Jews in Israel. Allah decided to give all the wealth power and capability to the west and Israel.
    Be good Muslims and give up all the creations of the great satan. Else you’re just supporting the infidel and going against Allah’s wishes. Not that he seems to have any power, else you’d have what you want and he wouldn’t be relying on a bunch of camel botherers to deliver his will.

    Wet dreams for Jew-hating Khomeneyists like Khamenei. But dreams like these indicate a dying nation.
    Mind the words of former intelligence chief in DDR: “Despite Moscow’s heavy propaganda I knew all the way that the Soviet Union was much more fragile to a blatant American hard line though they conveyed otherwise. It all came to me during the SALT II negotiations between Brezhnev and Nixon.” These word of Markus Wolf direct to the newly negotiations between the West and the Mullah state. Iran is dying, and the old men in shabby brown know it.

  20. Dave L says

    Aug 2, 2015 at 1:40 pm

    Obama probably knew of this plan before the book was published, and this is precisely why he wants to set Iran up as the hegemon of the region — so that the Mullahs can better effectuate Israel’s death by a thousand cuts. Reverend Wright, Farrakan and Obama must be dancing a jig.

  21. Matthieu Baudin says

    Aug 3, 2015 at 8:31 am

    Not much of a commitment to truth and honesty from the Mullah’s Fraternity; unlike the example set by their predecessor Zoroaster or their Bahai successors.
