BTW it is a total myth that Iran is dedicated to a military anihilation of Israel, at least they have never publicly stated this as a policy. If you read Fars, Khamanei's twitter feed, or even the FULL quotes from the Jerusalem post, Iran's terrible threats are always in the context of being in response to an attack or 'if necessary'. There is always a qualifier. Their leaders have even stated that they would never be the first to launch a missile or other attack against any other country. They believe (and hope) that Israel will collapse on their own which is not nice but is not the same as a physical threat.chris chubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604909869761554670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-62962594090617902022019-12-27T00:13:13.982-04:002019-12-27T00:13:13.982-04:00It will provide a cover for the US to continue to ...It will provide a cover for the US to continue to stick its nose in the region.

The two most murderous ideologies in the world. It is unfortunate that most people do not realize that their future is being sucked dry by these two entities. Furthermore, there is nothing one can do. If you criticize the Zionists, they defame you. If you criticize the Saudis, it is suppressed, ignored and forgotten. All Zionists should be given a one way ticket to Israel. Let's keep the other races in the US. Let's keep the Mexicans and everybody else. However, Saudis and Zionists should be asked to leave. Most of the violence stems from these groups. From 9/11 to the present day.
