(58,724 posts)Both the leaders of Israel and the leaders of Iran had interesting reactions to 9/11. You shared some quotes from the leader of Israel so I thought it'd be good to share some from the leader of Iran, since the OP deals with those two countries.

The article is clearly about the issues between Israel and Iran.

(59,507 posts)As to Netanyahu, I remember many attacking Kerry for "mocking" Netanyahu by referring to Netanyahu's poster -- not even using an adjective like "ridiculous" which I would have used.
Netanyahu is bad for Israel.

(58,724 posts)He was viewed unfavorable here and rightfully so.
Iran has been under RW leadership for quite some time now.
He never said that. My husband speaks farsi. On the contrary, he sent the American people his condolences. He did say a lot of conspiracy nonsense, but nothing what it claims here.

(82,849 posts)We need to cut off all foreign aid to Iran, and quit propping them up, and giving Iran so much favorable coverage in all our media outlets! Something Must Be Done!
Thank Jah there are some courageous voices willing to cry out in the wilderness to expose Iran, darling of the pointy-headed East Coast elites.

And Netanyahu lied about Iraqi WMD in testimony before the US Congress: http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4529120/netanyahus-expert-testimony-iraq-2002
