Cox&Forkum draw it up best, the damage done giving men like Assmad a platform and legitimacy..

The world and the American hard left are swooning.

In the US via memeorandum, Mr Bollinger of Columbia is now under fire not for inviting Assmad to speak, but for being too hard on him!

Via LGF, Weasel points out the usual pages worth of comments from the ‘international community’ at the BBC.. Berating the US, Israel, & praising Assmad, and then Iranian reaction to Assmad’s reception which is blame the Zionists & filthy American neocons of course, much like Assmad himself in his speeches the last two days.

Now we have thanks to this platform and general worldwide insanity / dhimmitude.. A ‘quirky pious guy’ who also happens to be a ‘nutjob in the friendliest nutty sort of way’ instead of the leader of a repressive Islamic regime which is developing nuclear weapons, murdering Americans, threatening genocide to the land & concept of Israel, and the foremost world sponsor of Terrorism including the Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iraq Quds forces.

Free Palestine 

Suddenly the Palestinians, who’s inability to accomplish anything much less wipe their own asses for 60 years now have become ‘the unsung sufferers of European Jew guilt’, the ‘real holocaust’, a rallying reason to blame the Zionists & do away with that ’shitty little country’ as a matter for legitimate discourse. For Assmad, mission accomplished. For the anti-semites and supposed progressives music in their ears, sweet enough to wash away any harsh tones not from the usual denial of the existence of Israel, but the not so veiled call to stone & hang Homosexuals as well.

The Dark Side 

Uncle Terror rode into NYC where he was speaking today at Columbia University, as well as to the national press club etc.. Seems some cranks in America feel the need to fete the arrival of this cretin to their shores. Here’s some defense of the madman (from Juan Cole apologist by profession) via Memeorandum which has plenty of links.

Using the force..

• Michelle Malkin has Mahmoudapalooza up lol, with loads of info / updates on protests & events.
• Pajamas Media has updates on the Mahmoudfest with another ton of info from around the network re Assmad’s day in the spotlight..

Expect some video & reactions soon enough I imagine, looking forward to it.

Update: HotAir video of the intro to Assmad’s speech at Columbia by the University President, who promised to be harsh & critical of the honored guest.. Plus the reaction shot from Assmad himself.

What I heard..

I heard portions of the ‘oratory’ on c-span. Assmad blamed the US for pretty much everything on the planet, asserted the honor of questioning historical facts like the Holocaust which warrant further study, disparaged gays & homosexuals by eloquently stating that American fags are special, and there are no progressive open gays in Iran.. This was in respose to ‘why Homosexuals are often  executed or stoned in Iran. Called America in not so many words a world sponsor of terror, blamed a litany of woes on Israel & the lack of resolve with the Palestinian terrorists we live next door to. Preached peace & love to all, as long as they followed along on his terms.

All in all cheer-worthy material for the unholy-alliance between the radical left America / Zionist haters & the Islamic radicals. Was this PR coup and spotlight for this contemptible maniac & his Mullah backers all-together necessary?

UPDATE II -

AP - Iran draws up plans to bomb Israel
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer

TEHRAN, Iran - The deputy commander of Iran’s air force said Wednesday that plans have been drawn up to bomb Israel if the Jewish state attacks Iran, according to the semiofficial Fars news agency. The announcement came amid rising tensions in the region, with the United States calling for a new round of U.N. sanctions against Iran over its disputed nuclear program and Israeli planes having recently overflown, and perhaps even attacked, Iranian ally Syria. [...]

I think he means Syria, the Iranian client state. Iran has had its grimy little fingers all over the place, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria. The revelations regarding Iranian weapons, scientists & technicians proliferating weapons in Syria, WMD in Syria, utilizing the country as a conduit to arm & support various terrorist organizations, their Iranian funded mutual defense pact make them more than allies..

“We have drawn up a plan to strike back at Israel with our bombers if this regime (Israel) makes a silly mistake,” Gen. Mohammad Alavi was quoted as telling Fars in an interview. Fars confirmed the quotes when contacted by The Associated Press, but would not provide a tape of the interview. The Iranian air force had no immediate comment.

Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammed Najjar told the official IRNA news agency Wednesday that “we keep various options open to respond to threats. … We will make use of them if required.”

Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards released a statement that the nation was ready for a military confrontation. “Iran, having passed through crises … has prepared its people for a possible confrontation against any aggression,” IRNA quoted the statement as saying.

Wow, that’s a lot of aggression, one gets the feeling the Iranians are looking rather irrational. Might the possible bombing of one of their ‘client state’ WMD facilities have rattled them some? Perhaps it’s the Americans themselves being resolute on positions vis avis oh I don’t know..

• The killing of American soldiers
• The farce that has been made regarding cooperation & verification of Iran’s ‘peaceful’ nuclear program
• The need this week to suspend six party talks with North Korea, and declare Syria on the Nuclear Watch List
• The subsequent realization that both the little satan & the Big Satan are likely justified in defending themselves versus this sort of endless unmitigated aggression.

The loveable Yanks don’t seem too flexible on all the above..

The Axis..

Jpost has this stunner courtesy of our friends at Janes Defense, reporting on the death of dozens mid-summer due to a WMD weapons test gone bad. Seems those cheeky Syrians & Iranians were practicing trying to mount chemical weapons to a scud missile in order to kill more Zionists when things went wrong..

JPOST

Proof of cooperation between Iran and Syria in the proliferation and development of weapons of mass destruction was brought to light Monday in a Jane’s Magazine report that dozens of Iranian engineers and 15 Syrian officers were killed in a July 23 accident in Syria.

According to the report, cited by Channel 10, the joint Syrian-Iranian team was attempting to mount a chemical warhead on a scud missile when the explosion occurred, spreading lethal chemical agents, including sarin nerve gas.

Reports of the accident were circulated at the time, however, no details were released by the Syrian government, and there were no hints of an Iranian connection.

The report comes on the heels of criticism leveled by the Syrians at the United States, accusing it of spreading “false” claims of Syrian nuclear activity and cooperation with North Korea to excuse an alleged Israeli air incursion over the country this month.  [...]

I posted today that I believe Syria was setting up a nuclear / WMD site on behalf of the Iranians using North Korean tech, due to an odd 10 billion dollar investment in Syrian ’cement factories’ announced this week by Iran.. That’s a lot of cement, but this story only cements the Axis of Evil cooperation we are seeing..

Syria cannot afford the outlay for advanced Air Defense, Weapons & Missiles, Syria cannot afford the outlay for a nuclear program, the Iranians funded Syria’s weapons purchases from Russia in return for some of the weapons shipments this year, they are in a cooperative defense pact funded by Iran, they clearly are cooperating on WMD plans..

I think Israel bombed a subset of Iran’s Korean assisted WMD / nuclear program <– IN Syria.

QUICK UPDATE

SAT IMAGES via Israel Channel 10 of the Syrian facility where the explosion took place two months ago..Channel 10 reports that this is a well known Syrian facility for the production of ballistic missiles, the chemical WMD work was apparently being done in more ’secretive’ areas of the facility.

Channel 10 reports local area hospitals had to treat many of the injured from the event, among them over a dozen Iranian technicians.. Makes further mention of the Iranian Syrian defense pact signed last year, stipulating one of the key areas of cooperation? The adapting / arming of Syrian Scud arsenals with chemical weapons.

HotAir has a beauty about SuperChief up, man I love to rail on about SuperChief.. I didn’t realize however he’s gotten this crazy for coco-puffs.

The NYT profiled the ’savior of the world’ and AllahPundit has the review, nice to know Iran’s nuclear ambitions are being stemmed by a man who is apparently ‘dazzled by his own destiny‘ and ‘acting like a child‘. I examined the phenomena here last week, but this Allahpunditry is well worth a read, if only for the shock & awe of it all..

And here I thought this guy was the only nuclear flunky with the messiah complex, what is it with these guys!? Too much radiation exposure?

Religion of Peace:

A quick photo essay released by Iran’s state controlled media of Iranian Police / Ninjas roughing & rounding up civilians who don’t ‘conform’ to Islamist standards. Hard to tell how much is staged here as in Iran the Mullah’s control everything. Safe to say you don’t want to be caught with your beard not in Islamic order or wearing a western tank-top lest you be ‘flogged’ or worse..

Iran Focus

Tehran, Iran, Sep. 13 - Iranian authorities have stepped up arrests of young people in the city of Karaj, west of the capital Tehran, as part of a nationwide “plan to eradicate corruption”. Dissidents charge that Tehran’s clerical rulers are fiercely cracking down on youths disenchanted with the government’s repressive policies rather than on “trouble-makers”.

Don’t look now but the boot of ‘Iranian’ justice is coming for you.

 
The Iranians are BIG on Human Rights, Louise Arbour the UN’s own human rights czar was all smiles, sipping tea & eating crumpets (LGF) with Iranian leaders just this past week promoting one assumes her own deluded version of ‘human rights’.. Fine job she’s doing.

Comforting knowing these Iranian ‘Police’ are only a baton away if you should need them to twack a few teenagers silly.

Up on the roof-tops, can’t tell exactly but that big bin appears to be smashed up antennas.. Satellite dishes, non sanctioned media, anything not strictly controlled is not allowed in the Islamic State of freedom, radical Islam will set you free - Provided your notion of freedom is state fed propaganda and an orwellianesque life style. Don’t fear little dhimmi! Iran is watching over you, literally..

The men in black taking this poor guy away, he’s clearly dangerous - I doubt he completed all 5 prayers that day, hang him and be done with it.

All these dangerous corrupted individuals were blindfolded and herded off to who knows where, thank goodness the state media was there to capture the events. Everyone can sleep soundly in Iran tonight knowing Islam is once again safe thanks to the fine fine work of the Iranian storm troopers. I feel better already..

UPDATE: Headline of the Day!

Louise Arbour whom I chastised above had this golden nugget for us today…

U.N. official: Iran should stop executing children (via the focus )

The Associated Press GENEVA (AP) - Iran should immediately halt the execution of children, the U.N.’s top human rights official said Monday. Louise Arbour, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, said she met with Iranian officials during a visit to Tehran earlier this month and urged them to impose a moratorium on the execution of minors.

“Even if the legislation in the books appears to permit the imposition of the death penalty on minors … it would be imperative that they not be executed,” she told journalists in Geneva. Iran is one of the few countries in the world that executes minors, in violation of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. [...]

Divine comedy, Dante would be proud. She met with the thugs (uh, officials) in Tehran and has come out with this tough talking golden nugget a week later. Ya think!? I’m crazy about this woman I really am! You go girl..

‘It’s imperative children not be hung, even if Iran has laws that allows this sort of thing’.. You know, being the example of shinning light for Human Rights that Iran is known as world wide, it’s important that they set a good example by only hanging older people for sport, this is a big step forward - Just ask the guy with the boot on his head up there.

24 hrs downtime & I lost last week’s posts, oh well..
shared hosting what can you do.)

The Joys of living in an Islamist State!

I tell you living next door to a terrorist mini state has its charms. Next time you are feeling blue because this Israeli Govt sucks pants, just think..

In no time at all you could hop in a car & live an hour away in a Palestinian Democracy!..

Well a Palestinian Democracy seized by the winners of the vote, who are actually terrorists who seized control from the former holocaust denying President, who was also formerly Prime Minister, appointed by the arch terrorist Arafat, who led the Fatah party now opposed to the current Terrorist government, but was formerly in another terrorist government created by Oslo, which has a new Prime Minister now, but which also preceded the current terrorist democracy, which is not actually recognized as so, because a new government was declared recently in Ramallah, which is not actually attached to Gaza because it was previously occupied by Jordan which.. Uhh it’s complicated.

Safe to say all these people below have it all A-OK under control and we should proceed to final status negotiations at once.

They are a model for failed mini-states everywhere, everyone wants a few more terrorist led mini-states right!?

Hamas has it under control..

Tens of thousands of Gazans rally at Egyptian border demanding it be reopened. Hamas gunmen fire shots, leaving one brain dead, seven others injured

Associated Press / via YNET

Eight Palestinian protesters were wounded Saturday, including one pronounced brain dead, at a Hamas rally on the Egyptian border, medics said.

Tens of thousands of flag-waving Hamas supporters gathered at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt to demand it be reopened. The border, Gaza’s only gateway to Egypt, has been shut since Hamas’ bloody takeover of the Gaza Strip in June. Hamas charges that Abbas’ government does not want the crossing opened because that would help the Islamic group hold on to power in Gaza.

Hamas gunmen fired in the air as hundreds of protesters tried to rush the border terminal and attempted to infiltrate into Egypt. A teenager was shot in the head, and was later pronounced brain dead, medics said. Seven others were wounded by gunfire and trampling. [...]

I remember a conversation I had with a young woman during my time away from the keyboard, we were exchanging email addresses and she had asked me about mine because it was something she needed spelled out (saus at hashmonean.com.. not exactly 123@hotmail if you know what I mean.)

I explained to her it was the address of my blog which was not being updated at the time but which had a lot of pro-Israel info on it. Of course, she told me that she’d check it out (I was rather hoping she might check me out too, that’s why I was exchanging emails with her after all) but I was a little downcast about the idea. Like many young women I was painfully aware of the fact that she would be..

• Clueless about many of the topics I blogged about
• For schizzle Liberal, if not ultra Liberal (er.. this isn’t exactly the kumbaya blog)
• Left Wing, or rather at least left of me seeing as anyone right of me is basically hailing from the old Gush lol
• And would surely find me somewhat Uber Zionist and militant despite my charming personality (er.. ok, at least witty)

I sensed trouble ahead and decided to head it off, sort of like Sharon at the Mitla Pass in ‘73.. You see what I mean? That sound you might hear would be the wooshing of my witty comment likely zipping right over her head if she were paying a visit lol. I decided at the time to prep her a bit by saying something to this effect..

“Try and keep in mind that there’s a war going on even though it’s not always in the forefront of everyone’s mind, and my blog is about fighting the Global Jihad.” She looked at me funny & answered with one word, ‘OK’.

I don't know what was more frightening..

Looking into the eyes of the man that seeks to eradicate the People of Israel, subjugate America while claiming to play the role of the World's great 'humanist'.. Or Mike Wallace's kid glove infatuation treatment, while literally interviewing the representative of the greatest threat to the Western World and laughing like a schoolgirl.

Questions regarding wiping Israel from the map, totally avoided by Assmad who claimed to not hate Israelis, only their 'oppression', pure propaganda.

Questions regarding Nuclear development? One the World's largest reserves of oil & natural gas with enough to last Iran at current estimates for 200 years answered by the one line: 'We need fuel'.

Questions regarding America culminating in a direct threat, stating basically that not succumbing to the Islamic Caliphate would lead to a 'bad end' for Bush & America.

And the cherry on top, reporting on 50,000+ suicide bombers sanctioned officially by Iran? ' I don't like to answer such questions', not even a denial but a big smile.

The Jihad isn't coming, it has already arrived

For Israel, now at such a crucial time with Hamas, Hezbollah and their sponsor Iran gunning to destroy the Jewish State how have our leaders responded? With weakness.

I'll put links in to blogs covering this issue in afterwards, my focus is on Israel and the imminent UN sham of a cease fire taking place in 4 hours.

I have extensive posts on Iran, their martyrs, their nuclear programs, their threats, weapons,  the EU intransigence and weakness and much more.

Key Word search Iran here at the Hashmonean

Update: Hotair has some video and seems to share my enthusiasm, links to CBS chunks of the 'interview' too
