Document: Iran funding both sides of Iraqi civil war

[Ellestar]

They should have been clinically retarded if they didn't fund Iraq civil war. It's many thousands of times more efficient to fight US on a foreign ground (paying a small price for that) than to face a full-scale US invasion or bombings. As long as US military is locked in Iraq, Iran is relatively safe. Also, Iran has 140.000 nearby targets for a retaliatory strike if USA or Jews will try to bomb Iran.

The Israeli deputy minister of Defense, Ephraim Sneh, calls for international action against Iran, which "ulterior goal should be the overthrow of the Irani regime".

Meanwhile, his superior, Amir Peretz, has given the go-ahead for the building of a new colonist settlement on the west-bank.

I look forward to the day that the Iranian people rise up against the mullahs regime. Why is there anything wrong in Sneh looking forward to that? That would be the peaceful resolution of the problem.

The settlement is not new, but is a reestablishment on a location where there was a settlement (abandoned, IIUC) years ago.

Hypocritical my ass, you b*tch.

Do something about Darfuor where tens of thousands are being slaughtered in an organized mass murder. Until then - refrain from using the word "hypocritical", or talking about Israeli policing measures.


Oh, I forgot.

You are against "rattling things up" by removing the regime of Saddam Hussein - who killed millions of arabs (Iran-Iraq wars, inner Iraq purging, invasion of Quwait).

Yet you find time to criticise Israel, which in all of its "wars of agression" killed around 70 thousand people, probably less than 10% of them Palestinian.

So shut your hypocritical yap, will you?

Clap Clap Clap !!! Encore !!

You know nothing on how I feel about all the issues you mentioned above. I just say that you have absolutely no business in judging others, Israeli. Change the ways of your own governement first.

Sneh also announced a proposed peace plan to negotiate with Abbas, including release of Palestinian prisoners and destruction of illegal outposts in order to strengthen Pal moderates. But all you got out of his press conf was the above.

But of course youre not antiIsrael, just making legitimate criticisms. Of course.

You mean they should STOP withdrawing from the territories, stop trying to restart the negotiating prcecess, and stop refraining from responding to Qassam rocket attacks?

Yes LotM, of course.

btw, Iran is so commmited to a peaceful, transparent nuke program, that they have arrested someone for passing info that program out of the country.

So you admit that the Iranian program is one to develop nuclear weapons?

Did I ever claim otherwise ?

I dont know, but Iran does, and thats the basis for arguments in their defence at the UNSC.

Well, that is something Israel never has to worry about no ?

So what? It's still the establishment of colonists in the occupied west bank.

Since Israel has never been a signatory to the NPT, no.

But this is what you said "Meanwhile, his superior, Amir Peretz, has given the go-ahead for the building of a new colonist settlement on the west-bank. "

The distinction is important, as Israel is commited under Oslo not to create new settlements in the West Bank. Their only commitment to not expand existing settlements was under the Road Map, which is basically dead, in the absence of Pal compliance to its provisions on disarming terrorists.

Clearly there is a need to negotiate a new road map, under new conditions. If the Pals dont want this settlement to go forward, they can negotiate about it.

Can this even be a "colony" by the way? I thought under international law a colony had to be overseas.
