U.S.: Iran sanctions without UN backing would be legitimate

Zionism and Judaism ? Let Us Define Our Terms (The key to peace in the Middle East and why Torah-True Jews are opposed to Zionism) The following is the text of a talk delivered by Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss at the United Association for Studies and Research Studies (UASR), publishers of the Middle East Affairs Journal. The lecture was part of a round table discussion, held on March 14 2002 and hosted by MEAJ editor-in-chief, Dr. Ahmed Yousef. My task today is to speak about Judaism and Zionism. Given the current assumptions of the mass media that seems to be a redundant title. Aren?t the two one and the same? Isn?t Judaism Zionism? Aren?t Jews by definition Zionists? This is an impression which is, as I hope will become absolutely clear by the end of this talk, totally false. It is, however, an impression that is today quite widespread, both among non ? Jews as well as misinformed Jews. The correction of the historical record in the case of any falsification is beneficial, f

The Orthodox Jewish response to the criticism of the Iranian President (statement for Al Q'uds Day) 28 October 2005 With the help of the Almighty. Orthodox Jews the world over, are saddened by the hysteria which has greeted the recent stated desire of the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to see a world free of Zionism. This desire is nothing more than a yearning for a better, more peaceful world. It is a hope that with the elimination of Zionism, Jews and Muslims will live in harmony as they have throughout the ages, in Palestine and throughout the world. It is a dangerous distortion, to see the President?s words, as indicative of anti-Jewish sentiments. The President was simply re-stating the beliefs and statements of Ayatollah Khomeini, who always emphasized and practiced the respect and protection of Jews and Judaism. The political ideology of Zionism alone was rejected. President Ahmadinejad stressed this distinction by referring only to Zionism, not Judaism or

Iran will be pricing their oil in Euros (from the US Dollar) starting in March; this is the real reason we're invading. It was the same reason we invaded Iraq, who'd also started pricing their oil in Euros from the US Dollar. Call it like it is or keep your mouth shut - Bush & Co.

Iran needs to be dealt with by the World . They will not be though. Only a hand full of Countries are dealing with the trouble makers. People better wake up and see the light or the light will visit you in one huge bang and cloud !!!!!!

There is a lot of discussion about Iran being a great threat to the world. In fact, the greatest threat to the world now is the Bush administration and by extension, the American people for putting up with their immoral, lawless government.

Are you sure you've done enough war games scenarios to be confident that you will succeed? I only read internet news, but it doesn't look very promising...

Didn't we already start a war because of fake nuclear weapons?

Check for halliburton watch for US corporations illegally doing business with Iran. Thatcher liked Pinochet and called South America during apartheid a fried. Most world leaders are full of it.

First of all, the US has had strong economic sanctions against Iran for a couple of decades. Anyone who is really interested in a peaceful solution here already knows that it was exactly because of those US sanctions that Iran was forced to seek its peaceful nuclear technology on the black market. And now, because the US sanctions were not successful, and Iran is successfully developing nuclear energy, the US leads the effort to demand global sanctions on Iran for going around the US sanctions. If unsuccessful, let's escalate! Remember, it is the good old US of A that is breaking its NPT obligations by its failure to reduce existing stockpiles of nuclear weapons, while designing and building new ones. Of course, Israel's actions are beyond the pale.

What is to be discussed at the UN, is a common position. China and Russia may agree to sanctions applying, if Iran acquires weaponry (they do not want anything now). Iran says this is not their intention - and sanctions applying, should they have lied to the world, is something Russia and China could accept. It would be a deterrent and allow the people of Iran to hold their own government to their word. In return for allowing Russia and China no sanctions now - agreement with Russia on their cutting off nuclear tech, if Iran tries to independently enrich uranium.

The rest of the world is ignoring the Jewish 'spin' on this topic.There was also a call for a nuclear free Middle East. Israel should destroy its nuclear weapons and apologise to the world for destabilising the region and starting a Middle East nuclear arms race.Nukes won't protect you from anything. Is Islamic Jihad currently put off by nukes?Was Osama put off by USA nukes?Disarm, go back to the '67 borders,return the stolen land, including Jerusalem and apologise.

Like they broke sanctions on S.Africa,under the Socialist saintly PM and a Russian spy,Olof Palme
