NO MORE JEWISH WARS FOR ISRAEL!

By Patrick Grimm

It seems that now even Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran must prove his philo-Semitic credentials. It is very, very telling when even the leader of an Islamic republic must clear the air by assuring the world that he is not anti-Semitic and does not hate Jews. Even ol’ Mahmud must prostrate himself before the power of Big Jewry and proclaim that the enemy is not Judaism, but Zionism.

While being no great fan of Iran or much of the Islamic world, I believe that this is a mistake. Regardless of what Ahmadinejad does to placate the international Jewish community, this will not stop the smothering forces of organized pro-Israel Judeocon cheerleaders from calling for the displacement of the current leadership in Iran. I am not even saying that the current leadership of Iran is good or honest or deserving of support. I simply don’t believe it is America’s or Israel’s place to topple any government that they happen not to like at the moment.

But the current disinformation campaign against Iran is all part of the Jewish neo-conservative media’s agenda to foment more war for greater Israel and its inevitable expansion on the backs of other nations. The Jews who run the Fox Neocon Channel are the biggest backers of the AIPAC/ADL War Party platform and to their disreputable credit, they have a nice pliable puppet in the White House, and an evil and scheming neo-conservative Vice President in the shadows, who will give them exactly what they want.

As Juan Cole reminds us in his spectacular new article “If Ahmadinejad is a genocidal maniac who just wants to kill Jews, then why are there 20,000 Jews in Iran with a member of parliament in Tehran? Couldn’t he start at home if that was what he is really about?” [1] Exactly. Why would the Jewish community in Iran feel so comfortable and non-threatened if Iran did indeed desire the extermination of all Jewish people? This is a laughable farce, and yet the Bush administration tries to distill it down for the public and label it as “clear-eyed foreign policy.” It is anything but and no one is buying this time out.

Ron Paul Gets Double the Crowd in Iowa

By James Buchanan

According to one blog, Ron Paul spoke before a packed house with easily double the audience of the “official” Republican forum in Iowa, which had excluded Dr. Paul. A recent news article reports “Outsider Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul headlined a raucous campaign rally Saturday after a multi-candidate GOP forum in Des Moines to which the Texas congressman was not invited. An audience of more than 600 GOP activists turned out for the Paul event, held in Hy-Vee Hall next door to where six candidates addressed a subdued crowd of much the same size earlier. ‘Today we want to celebrate and we want to be very positive,’ Paul said. ‘We’re here to talk about life and liberty, and quite frankly they are inseparable.’ Paul has built a loyal following of people attracted to the politician’s libertarian stance on constitutional rights and opposition to the war in Iraq. But organizers for the forum, held by Iowans for Tax Relief and the Iowa Christian Alliance, left Paul out of their lineup, citing his lack of campaign organization in Iowa. The decision sparked loud protests from Paul supporters and prompted his campaign staff to plan its own rally. During Paul’s rally, he proposed getting rid of the Internal Revenue Service, Selective Service, income tax and the Federal Reserve, and withdrawing from the United Nations. He received cheers from the audience of Iowans and supporters from other states after each point. The loudest reception came during his call for an immediate end to the war in Iraq. ‘The policy of nonintervention is the policy of the founding fathers,’ said Paul, who was one of the few Republicans who voted against the 2002 resolution authorizing the invasion of Iraq. ‘Republicans would do well if they changed their position in this regard.’ ”

First of all the excuses for “not including Ron Paul” in the Iowa forum appear to change on a daily basis. The latest one is that Paul has a “lack of campaign organization” in Iowa. Well, if that’s the case, how was Paul able to attract double the audience of the “Big Five” candidates? The latest statement from Ed Failor Jr., who organized the event, was that Ron Paul was excluded from the Iowa debate because it would have made the event go on too long. (I guess we’re supposed to believe Failor’s ties to McCain had absolutely nothing to do with it.)
