Dangerous when the moonies become leaders of countries and actually buy into self-serving fantasies. Possibly a source of problems for about 70 million people in Iran, most of whom are decidedly not paranoid schizophrenics and don't want to be swept along in someone's religious fantasies.

I love people that come in here and claim Iran persecutes and kills Christians, non-believers and "protesters". Either that, or they are "imprisoned."
Yet you fail to recognize the west does this on a near daily basis. G20 summits ring any bells? How about the Olympics? How about any protest? You see all those shock troops and violence?
Oh, that's right.. all those protesters deserved it, and anyone killed was 'an accident', but since it happened in Iran, then it was Ahmadinejad himself that did these acts, and he is a tyrant.
Not to mention, we are at war with TWO countries and in conflicts with PLENTY more, while we try to start MORE war with Iran, Pakistan, Yemen and even Venezuela.

Yes, even western democracy is not perfect. But situation in Iran and other middle eastern countries is FAR worse. You just cant compare atrocities of that regime to our and say they are even remotely similar. They arent!

The Zionist Manifesto is a real historical document Michael. The Zionist Manifesto was not simply about founding an Israeli state either. It was actually laid out in black and white and published in the form of a book, and it was written and published by Zionist Israel’s founders.
Since the Zionist goals were then as they are now much broader and far more ambitious than just founding the Israeli State and those goals have not as of yet been completely realized, but 63 years of Israeli history shows marked and continued progress towards those broader goals there is no such thing as modern day Zionism.
Rather what there is, are continued Zionist goals that that Zionists love to pretend don’t exist based on their constant operational mode of people don’t really know history, they are only supposed to know and accept what we tell them in the here and now or they will be subject to childish attempts to ridicule, deflect and dismiss.
Any one who claims to know both history and Israeli history who has not read the Zionist Manifesto which rare authentic copies of exist in Israeli Museums and detail the Manifesto or simply either not very studied or are weaving a tale of their own.
While for the most part its safe to pretend those nonsensical assertions of Zionism was just about establishing a modern day Israel, everyone from Herzl on down has purported, and written different.
While it’s also easy and convenient to dismiss and ridicule Iran the truth is that not only have percentage wise a larger degree of Israelis have fled Israel because of the Zionist Government and its policies as have percentage wise fled Iran because of their laws.
The truth is while Iran is a theocracy using Islamic religious laws; the Jews also have their own religious laws written in a specific book of Jewish Laws called the Talmud.
The larger truth is that Talmudic laws are written into the New Testament and much of the Code Laws of Western Governments so a lot more people are in fact exposed unknowingly to Talmudic law based on Judaic theology than those exposed knowing and unknowingly to Sharia Islamic theologian law.
So the reality is Israel is not that different than Iran, both are widely ruled by theologian law and both nations have totalitarian regimes that persecute the minorities in their respective countries based on religious differences.
It's easy to plunge through centuries of historical writings and create linkages and patterns that extend throughout a whole cultural system. The great mathematician and economic theorist John Nash did that better than anyone alive. He won the Nobel Prize for his equilibrium theory that revolutionized data analysis.

When confronted with the very real evidence of the Zionist manifesto and it’s historical as well as its present day and future significance, as well as the very real evidence of Talmudic theological laws and customs being purposefully woven into Christian scripture as well as code laws and statutes in countries like the United States of America all one could do is look for hypocritically inspired ways to deny and deflect.
Since as I mentioned the evidence is very real, the hysterical reality is my friend Michael is that the very ways and procedures you follow to garner information against every government, state, person and religion and sect you don’t approve of are the very same ways and procedures your decry as being worthless when using them produces real evidence of Zionist fraud, crimes against humanity, thefts, deceits and agendas.
I often wonder if the people who are so adept at avoiding examining their own methods and style imagine that those they argue with are really so dumb as to not notice the obvious or if they themselves are so shy a full load of bricks that they really don’t notice.
There is an old saying Michael, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. I think there are very real reasons why tens of thousands of ultra religious Orthodox Jews would prefer to live in Iran than Israel. Reasons we see displayed time and time again on these boards through Zionist hypocrisy and the old don’t do as I do, do as I say nonsense.

Amazing what you can string together with a few key world on Google. Also amazing how such weight matter have eluded scholars, writers, historians, who devote their lives to these study of these things.
Maybe some people are seeing patterns in the wallpaper that aren't really there?

Why is it far worse, hm? It's *far* worse because you can't come to terms with the reality that your country is just as barbaric, if not more so? You failed to comment on the fact that we have been at war every decade on foreign countries, always based on shaky preconceptions and notions, "To Protect Freedom".
