Iran and Israel: Not what you think

Iran and Israel: Not what you think

: Iranian blogger Hoder connects some dots and finds that young Iranians do not have the view of Israel you’d assume: Many are appalled at Iran’s horrid, hateful policy that led to its judo competitor refusing to compete against Israel’s at the Olympics.

: Meanwhile, the mullahs warn that they’d make preemptive strikes against Israel.

    Interesting link from Hoder, which runs counter to the conventional wisdom (non-scientific polls notwithstanding).
    Note also that Iran is delivering additional missiles to Hizballah via Syria, according to MEMRI. They are backing up their bellicose rhetoric with concrete steps.

    The Jews and the Persians should be natural allies against Arab hegemony in the Middle East.

    The mullahs don’t seem to remember that the Israelis have a tested missile defense system.
    So they can try to bomb Israel, but they may very well not succeed.
    I would expect that to really hurt their credibility.

    Hoder, a sad little puppet in the hands of the right-wing who like “natives” who support their little fantasies. Him and the Iraqi sellouts like Zeyad should start up a little party:
    Movement of Young, Idealistic Brown People Who Love White People That Kill Their Fellow Citizens – United for Democracy and World Peace but Ignorant of Colonial History
    The Daily Whopper – Exposing the lies of those richer and more powerful than you and I
    .

    As for Whopper, the Persian proverb is:
    “behtarin javebeh ablahan khamooshist”
    which is
    “silence is the best answer for imbeciles”.
