This mighty nation with 2% of the US GDP and around 8% of the US population will bring you down to your knees, mandatory Ramadan and all.
The 2/3 of the population that is under 30, listening to your music, watching your films and trying to study in the US if they possibly can may not hate you yet, but it is time that a new generation learns why they call you Big Satan.
Do not despair, the Decider still has some months left.[/quote]

Iran, the ebil empire that is becoming more Westernized every day and that will have people in charge that do not hate, but look up to the US.
In twenty years you could have a reliable partner there!
For Gods sake, bomb them now or it will be to late.
It was no rant, I’m not particularly Anti-Israel, but I don’t think the opposition against Israel comes from no where. Israel has never threatened me or invaded my country and kicked me out of my home. That doesn’t make their ally tho.
You haven’t refuted my argument, you’ve just called me a Nazi, try harder. I’m more like a Libertarian than a Nazi as far as politics go.

I never called you a Nazi. I don’t really know what you argument is.
That was Israel’s land long before they came and got it back.
The hatred for the Jew is as old as time. There is no new reason needed for the rest of the ME to hate the Jewish State.

The right to openly protest and freedom of the press right off the top of my head.

I disagree, that being somewhere 2,000 years ago, and even then not being the dominate inhabitant of the region, some how obliges someone to a divine right to OWN this land and expell the current inhabitants from it.
Also if we’re taking about some sort of ethnic inhabitant concept, most of the Jews in Europe, were descended from converts from the Kingdom Of Khazaria (in the Russian Steppe) rather than, some sort of Neo-Roman Judean refuges.
Also, Israel was never really a region, Judaea was a Roman province with a government nominall controlled by ancient Jews, but Israel was the tribes of Israel, and they were spread all over the place and kept on spreading.
The nation was named Israel because it was thought to be a recollection of all these tribes.
I don’t personally hate Jews.
I challenge your position that Jews are being scapegoated here.
For if Judaism is the scapegoat in the Middle East and they are all hellbent on doing Holocaust 2 on the Israelis, why are their significant and prosperous Jew communites in the great antagonist of Iran even to go as far as being permanently reserved a seat in government?
Am I in college? Is that were you asking? What is a college kid? How do you qualify yourself as a college kid? I feel there is a deeper meaning to your question.
It means that we don’t deal with them as respected equals, we refuse to trust them without verification, and we don’t defer to their wishes, and we start with the rebuttable presumption that they are acting in bad faith.

Iran has earned no less.

I respect your opinion.
I’d like to know more about your position however, so it seems they’ve earned a level of condemnation in your opinion. From where does this condemnation derive, you indicate they’ve earned this condemnation, so I’d like to not what they have done to earn it.

Iran has never invaded my homeland [in recent history], but has supported the resistance movement that has driven occupiers out of my country more than once.
