I don't know if it is true hatred towards Israel, but, it may be that the US gov't seems to give them a free pass when no one else gets one.

Iran is horrible when it comes to human rights, but is Israel any better?

Iran cannot pursue enrichment of Uranium past a certain point, but Israel can have many nuclear bombs? I know Iran is a signatory of the NPT, and as such they should allow the IAEA unrestricted access to their facilities, but if they were to drop out of the NPT, wouldn't that look even worse and would they be allowed to pursue nuclear ambitions if that was the case?

To all you Arabic speaking members here – and we know there are many – I dare you say this is a mistranslation:
It's not.
The hatred for Israel (not Jooooooooz, not Zionisist, but Israel) is deep in this region.
DEEP.
Looking at the posts here on ATS, its quite apparent the hate for Israel is growing here in the West as well. While i can understand Palestinian angst, the overall anger directed at the Jews seems so disproportionate to me.
Its quite obvious why. Israel has one of, if not the most organized lobby groups in America. They have strong agendas, are well connected, and have a voter base that votes as the lobby groups want. The citizens of the USA would do well to learn from their example, form their own lobby group, 140 million strong, and demand the change needed. Balanced budget legislation would be an amazing start. But no, "Occupy Wallstreet" is the way they go about it.
Generally no, but one way they are head and shoulders above Iran in they way they treat their own citizens, and the way they treat gays and women.
I agree here. It is unfair, but i do not view Iran as a bit of a nutcase. They are religious in the extreme, and some of their leadership believes in the 12th Imam. I dont like an appocolyptic cult having their finger on the button. Unfair, sure. But the less countries with nuclear weapons the better imo.

He doesn't say annihalate Israel. The media sure does love taking advantage of losing context in the translation of pretty much everything Iran says. The only war drums being beaten are being beaten by Israel. Fact.
Here we go again. Please do the research yourself instead of making everybody else show you where he has said this. He has stated he wants to wipe Israel off the face of the map. Just Google it or something if your lazy. I wish the people who love this man would go visit Iran and see how wonderful their country is. I don't have anything against the people of Iran, only the leaders who decide how their country is going to act. I think the humane thing to do is for Israel or the United States to take out the nuclear facilitries now rather than let them get a nuke and give them the chance to use it. This would cause the deaths of many Iranians who are inocent because they would be turned to glass. That's all I'm going to say about this!
