> [@zev\_steinhardt](#): > > According to a MEMRI report, Iran’s Sahar 1 TV station is airing a television series called “For You, Palestine.” In the first two episodes, the story follows “Yitzchak Cohen,” the fictional Israeli Prime Minister. …But I am shocked that such and out-and-out lie is being reported again and again and again. First off, you are conflating Israeli with Jews generally, in the same sense that some think of the Gestapo as being representative of Germans in general. Second, if it’s fiction, then it is not “reporting.” So just relax, or are you going to start ranting about how Smoking Men from the government are covering up paranormal events and general extraterresterial hijinks? Third, when Israel has the balls to do what South Africa did, then I will care about slanders against the Israelis. Happy holidays & a Joyous Bobunk. ---

> [@](#): > > First off, you are conflating Israeli with Jews generally No, they are. [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion#Amongst_Muslims_after_1948) has a section about the Protocols being endorsed by Muslim countries. Read it. From Iran > [@](#): > > Translations of the Protocols are extremely popular in Iran. The first edition was issued during the summer of 1978 at the time of the Islamic revolution. In 1985 a new edition of the Protocols was printed and widely distributed by the Islamic Propagation Organization, International Relations Department in Tehran. The Astaneh-ye Qods Razavi (Shrine of Imam Reza) Foundation in Mashhad, Iran, one of the wealthiest institutions in Iran, financed publication of the Protocols in 1994. Parts of the Protocols were published by the daily Jomhouri-ye Eslami in 1994, under the heading The Smell of Blood, Zionist Schemes. Sobh, a radical Islamic monthly, published excerpts from the Protocols under the heading The text of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion for establishing the Jewish global rule in the December 1998 – January 1999 issue, illustrated with a caricature of the Jewish snake swallowing the globe. > > Iranian writer and researcher Ali Baqeri, who ‘researched’ the Protocols, finds their plan for world domination to be merely part of an even more grandiose scheme, saying in Sobh (An Iranian newspaper) in 1999: “The ultimate goal of the Jews … after conquering the globe … is to extract from the hands of the Lord many stars and galaxies”. If you truly want peace, then I suggest you, and anyone else who thinks as you do, start giving a shit about what Muslim countries are saying about or doing to Jews/Israelis. It doesn’t matter what Israel does to establish peace in the region if other countries are not willing to accept it, and using the “Who needs a Jew when you’ve got a Zionist” strategy is not an appropriate way to get that ball rolling. ---

Yeah? Well, the Jews used the blood of seven nordic virgins to turn _me_ into a _Newt!_ I got better. So, I’m guessing by next year, Israel will be going ahead with “Operation Gingerbread House,” and conspiring to deliver the Gaza Strip into the hands of Saruman, and or the Sith. ---

Pshaw. Shows what you know. We’ve agreed to give Gaza up to the Illuminati (they plan on turning the whole damn thing into a mini-golf course.) It’s the United States that we’re infiltrating in order to turn it over to the Dark Lord. Duh. ---

However, since the comparison between Israel and an apartheid state are fallacious in the extreme, I’m not quite sure what point you want to be taken away. Israel needs to stop having checkpoints and let its hostile, non-citizen neighbors blow them to pieces? I will also remind you, Arabs/Muslims are full citizens in Israel, and some even serve on the Knesset. The comparison is spurious. ---

Just to drive home the tin-foil-hattery of your article > [@](#): > > People are scared in this country [the US], to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful - very powerful. Tutu may be right on a lot of other issues, and his heart may be in the right place… But the logical conclusion is that Americans see things differently (and I would argue, correctly). Instead he essentially makes the claim that the Jewish, **not the Zionist** , lobbying efforts in America somehow prevent people from speaking their minds? ---

But it didn’t say that the snake was stereotypically Jewish. One could infer that a snake swallowing a globe, following an article about Jewish plots to take over the world, is supposed to be Jewish without a yarmulke and comically large…tongue to tip the reader off. And tomatoes are most definitely a fruit. ---

> [@js\_africanus](#): > > Third, when Israel has the balls to do what South Africa did, then I will care about slanders against the Israelis. Wah! Fuck the Palestinians. I mean it, fuck them. When they gain the intelligence that God gave a newt and realize that evil men are using them for their racist genocidal ends, and toss those assholes out on their ears, then we can talk. Until then, they deserve whatever they get. If they’d stayed put in '48 they’d have full citizenship and property rights in Israel. Instead they ran away to allow other Arabs to massacre the Jews without them being in the way. That didn’t work out so well,(Who would have thought it? The Jews shot back! They were supposed to quietly go back into their ovens! Bad Jews!) and they are reaping their whirlwind. Good. ---
