Iran’s leader calls for greater “jihad” against Israel

[ECH1969]

Tehran, Iran, Sep. 04 – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the jihad against Israel must continue and be strengthened, Iran’s semi-official daily Jomhouri Islami reported on Sunday.

“The only way to fight the Zionist enemy is to continue and increase resistance and jihad”, Ayatollah Khamenei said at a meeting on Saturday with secretary general of the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad, Ramadan Abdullah, the hard-line daily Jomhouri Islami wrote.

Iran’s official policy is to call for the annihilation of the Jewish state. The country’s clerical rulers have been strongly opposed to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ attempts to reach a comprehensive peace settlement with Israel.

12. After years of propping up and funding...

...by the US I would like to see Iran launch a "jihad" against Israel. It's all bluster, hardliners never achieve lasting change only the negotiaters do.

14. Iran would be justified in a pre-emptive strike against Israel

Bush and Israel has been talking about bombing Iran's nuclear facilities using Israel's air force.

Netanyahu is running for Sharon's control over the Lukid party and is expected to win. He is a big proponent of bombing Iran.


According to the Bush doctrine, Iran has every right to pre-emptively attack Israel.

17. What utter bullshit!

So, I guess Israel would be justified in a pre-emptive strike since Iran has called for the DESTRUCTION of Israel, not the other way around!? What a load of crap!

[IndianaGreen]

15. Now that Iraq is safely in Iran's "bag," what's to prevent them

from becoming a greater threat to Israel than Saddam ever was?

Singing and dancing in the streets, indeed!

Perhaps we should offer Judith Miller as a peace offering to the good Ayatollah Khamenei.

I've never heard of it, myself. Reliable? Not?
