For The Record

There seems to be some uproar about some things that the new Islamic president of Iran said about the Country of Israel. If, by living under some moss covered rock in the woods, you haven't heard President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Israel should be "wiped off the map," which in the first place is not a new sentiment in ANY WAY for the leaders of Iran, so it's odd that the world should be so shocked by it. And second, the guy has a point.
As I am sure readers by now know this is not a new issue for this site, but to reiterate; Israel is a country that was imposed on an indigenous people who had their own country and form of government. They were supported by weapons and monies from the western world and continue to persecute and humiliate the Palestinians whose homes they have commandeered.
Just so every one knows. Israel is a horrible country with more blood on its hands than the U.S. (ZING!). In the second place (and this seems to be the real point everyone is missing) you can have a problem with Israel and NOT have a problem with the Jewish people. THEY ARE NOT SYNONYMOUS!! The state of Israel was created by militant ZIONISTS who, in no way, represent the whole censuses of the Jewish people.

This is really bothersome about the whole issue. You say, Israel is a horrible place and people are immediately up your ass about being a bigoted anti-Semite or something. Hey. The Jews are great man, I love the Jews, and sure they deserve their own country, but do they deserve to crush another people to do it? FUCK NO!
Tom Lantos a Californian Congressman only proves this ignorant point to its conclusion with his statement that "The leader of Iran made one of the most repugnant remarks the international community has heard since Adolf Hitler." Now, Tom seems like a pretty good guy from what I can tell, so I am going to assume he is just jumping on the bandwagon and is just horribly uniformed about the last 50 years of Israeli history, as opposed to being a total shitter.
The leader of Iran is NOTHING LIKE ADOLF HITLER. Let's Review. Hitler wanted the Jews wiped off the face of the earth. The President of Iran wants Israel, the Country, the political boundary, wiped from the face of the earth.
"One of these things is not like the other...."
Please. Is it possible that for once we can think and read and research before we just react by rote and start slavering with hate at the first mention of anything anyone from the middle east says?
