Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Ahmadinejad slams "brutal zionists"

Early in his address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad repeated and elaborated on the charges he had levelled at Columbia University on Monday against Israel - which he called "the illegal Zionist regime."

He told the assembled world leaders that the people of Palestine had been punished for 60 years for what had happened in Europe. They had been held "under occupation of the illegal Zionist regime," he said. "The Palestinian people have been displaced," he went on, "incarcerated under abhorrent conditions." They were being deprived of water and medicine "for the sin of asking for freedom."

Ahmadinejad accused Israel of terrorism and castigated "the brutal Zionists" for carrying out targeted assassinations. He also described immigration to Israel as the gathering "of Jews from around the world" with false promises, and their enforced settlement "in the occupied territories" where there were induced "to malevolence against the Palestinian people."

The Iranian leader also used the forum to announce that "the nuclear issue of Iran is now closed," and said that Iran will leave the monitoring of its nuclear program to the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and will "disregard unlawful and political impositions by the arrogant powers."

#3  "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian
people' to oppose Zionism.

"For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. While as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa,
Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

-(PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein, in a 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw.)


"How can people struggle for their nation, when most of them do not know the meaning of the word? Â… The people are in great need of a "myth" of imagination. The myth of nationality would create "identity" and "self-respect."

-(from an article entitled, "The Lesson of Palestine," printed in the Middle East Journal, October 1949, by Arab activist, Musa Alami)


“Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?
We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians - they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag. When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out”.

-(Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist)

The Arabs know and Ahmadinejad also knows, that there is no such thing as a "Palestinian people", and there never has been.

Until we as a people understand that it's merely an Arab invention for the purpose of destroying the Jews, no intelligent or effective actions can be taken.

Our administration's and the rest of the world's constant reference to the "Palestinians" is proof of the tremendous victory of Arab propaganda.

#1  Mahmoud sounded so worried over the Palestinians, you would have thought he had become the President of Gaza! Steady as he goes though, 90% of the diatribe appeasing his beloved 12th Imam, ready to return...and 10% nipping at the neck of Israel, as his sole purpose on earth. Sounds to me like he knows he may not be at that UN podium next year!
