US-based Anti-Defamation League slams multibillion dollar deal Geneva struck with Iran for supply of natural gas. Full-page ads in major newspapers proclaim Switzerland world's 'newest financier of terrorism'

<snip>

"A major US Jewish organization on Tuesday stepped up opposition to a multibillion-dollar Swiss-Iranian natural gas deal by claiming it makes Switzerland "the world's newest financier of terrorism."

'When you finance a terrorist state, you finance terrorism,'' said the New York-based Anti-Defamation League in full-page advertisements in major Swiss newspapers and in similar ads in The New York Times, The International Herald Tribune and The Wall Street Journal.

The US government and the World Jewish Congress have criticized Switzerland for the deal, saying it gives encouragement to Tehran's hard-liners.

"ADL is concerned that Iran's profits from the energy deal could help the regime to accelerate and complete its nuclear weapons program and provide tens of thousands of additional missiles to Hizbullah and Hamas, two terrorist groups and sworn enemies of Israel who routinely benefit from Tehran's largess," said a statement on the league's Web site."

1. Oh for God's sake..... (pardon the pun)...

Natural Gas? How horrible. I guess we better attack Switzerland and let Blackwater ransack those Swiss Bank accounts...

2. Pot meet kettle

"Israel imports Iranian oil on a large scale even though contacts with Iran and purchasing of its products are officially boycotted by Israel. Israel gets around the boycott by having the oil delivered via Europe. A reliable Israeli energy newsletter, EnergiaNews, reported this last week ... "

5. How come the ADL doesn't claim America supports terrorism?

We purchase oil from Saudi Arabia, the largest terrorist funding nation in the world.

The ADL wouldn't dare bite the hand that feeds them.

12. I'm so glad they chose to go after the swiss, you know, because

why go after half of the other nations in Europe or Russia or China. I guess they thought those other countries were just to easy to target.

13. And Israel buys Iranian oil

I suggest the IDF get over it really soon.. The world depends on natural gas and it won't matter who you buy it from so long as you can afford it..

14. Fascists

The 'ADL' should have taken John Loftus's book(Secret War Against the Jews) into high respect(and so too should every Israeli and Jew), because Mr. Loftus points out specifically that Jews are being set up for an International agenda and is going to be sacrificed.
I've tried for years to point this out, but everyone seems 'blank' to comprehending this.

As to Switzerland and Terrorism, well, there is 'Nazi' links too.

Switzerland always escapes the 'Wrath' during every war(even Bin Laden probably keeps his $$$$ in their coffers-- "wonder why they don't catch that guy"?....hmmmmmmm)

15. John Loftus?!

The disinformation agent John Loftus? The same John Loftus who gave out the supposed address of a supposed terrorist live and on the air with Fox news, excepting the "suspect" hadn't lived there for three years and the poor family that did live there had to put up with death threats and harassment for months afterwards, that John Loftus?

Sorry, but please try to come up with somebody more credible than a known disinformation hack who worked for the Reagan administration. Yes, I realize that the man "used" to be an intelligence op, but the fact of the matter is that he's not out there to spread the light of day to one and all, he's out there to muddy the waters and confuse the situation.

Yes, Switzerland had Nazi connections, but for that matter so did Ford, IBM and GM. Are they concocting terrorist plots also?

16. since Israel trades with Iran, does that mean Israel supports Islamic terrorism?

What is the point of the ADL these days? Do they serve any role other than comic relief?

[jasmine621]

19. Stop it!! We don't deal in reality here.

If only the Swiss had cut Israel in on the deal, we wouldn't have even heard about this.

17. No aggression against Iran.

A good first step is to seek to normalize relations with Iran immediately.

18. Two words: "Iran Contra". nt

21. What is terrorism?
