Let Iran have the bomb!

Published

on

I detest Iran’s dark embrace of the Hitlerian regime of Damascus, but Tehran does have a right to possess a Nuclear deterrent.

I, too, shouted “Istiklal Azadee, Hukamati Islamee” (independence, freedom, Islamic government) and “tau Margi Shahi Kha’en, Nehzat Idameh Durad” (until the death of the treacherous Shah, the revolution will continue.” That was in the late 1978, when I, along with the bulk of Muslims around the world, Sunnis and Shiites,  gave the late Imam Khomeini  and his companions the benefit of the doubt.  We thought the Sun of Islam would rise anew from the land of Abu Hamed al-Ghazali, Umar Khayyam and Saadi Shirazi. We were tragically wrong, as the Grand Ayatollah soon took off the outer cloak of true, authentic Islam in favor of the repugnant Turban of schismatic sectarianism. (See my book  “My story with the Shiites: Major Contradiction in the Shiite Imami Religion.”

  I didn’t immediately lose the hope for some reforms that would correct the course of the revolution which was facing overwhelming challenges from a huge cacophony of internal and external enemies at the top of which stood the United States and Israel, as well as a number of despicable Arab regimes that  were at Washington’s beck and call.  But as the years passed, Iran’s sectarian character became hard to hide and harder to defend.

The Iranian intervention in Syria

 The brutal ugliness of Iran’s face became quite conspicuous to everyone, friend and foe alike, when the clerical regime in Tehran trained,  funded and dispatched more than 50 Shiite militias to help the Butcher of Damascus exterminate his own people, including women and children. Read my article: Is Iran trying to create another Israel in Syria.

These mostly ignorant zealots hailing from as far as Herat, Mazari Sharif and Karachi were told that they were going to fight the enemies of Imam Hussein and that whoever died of them  in battle would go straightforward to paradise in the company of Imam Ali, Imam Hussein and Fatema, the daughter of the Prophet (peace be upon him).! Needless to say, this perfidy by the regime in Tehran was a slap to world Muslims as well as to free and honest men and women around the world.

Bashar Assad is not really Shiite. He belongs to an esoteric sect called Alawites, which believes that Ali, the Prophet Muhammad’s son-in-law and the fourth of the rightly-guided Caliphs who ruled the fledgling Islamic state following the Prophet’s death , was God-incarnate, which constitutes absolute blaspheme, apostasy and polytheism in Islam.

 So what would make the most revolutionary Muslim country embrace a decidedly nefarious mass murderer and certified war criminal, who murdered hundreds of thousands of Syrians, destroyed Syria and expelled more than 50% of Syrians to the four corners of the world, all in order to remain in power for a few more years? Read my article: The Syrian regime must change, or it will be changed

The answer is sad and lamentable. The  clerics of Tehran had no moral credentials whatsoever and apparently hated Sunni Muslims much more than they loved their own children.

The Bomb

Having elucidated my views on the cleric’s regime in Tehran, I believe Muslims, notwithstanding the regime’s many days of infamy,  ought to be fair and just with regard to the Iranian nuclear program. This is in line with the Qur’an, God’s final revelations to mankind. Which instructs us to be fair and just in all circumstances even toward foes and enemies:

O ye who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do. (al-Ma’eda, V. 8)

Iran has absolute right to possess Nuclear weapons

In my opinion, Iran has an absolute right to possess a nuclear deterrent. For that matter, I believe Major Muslim countries such as Egypt and Turkey should possess a deterrent.  Israel has had a nuclear deterrent since the late 1950s, with the help of France and the US. Indeed, why should a small and notoriously- bellicose country, like Israel, have over 90 nuclear warheads whereas a country such as Egypt with a 100  million –plus population, or Iran, with more than 80 million people, are forbidden to have the bomb?

Besides, how should Iran defend her people if Israel decided to drop a nuclear device on Tehran or Mashhad or Shiraz? Who would, indeed who could restrain, let alone deter Israel then? America? You must be kidding!

The possession by Iran of a nuclear deterrent would probably mitigate Israel’s  insolence,  megalomania and arrogance of power, but nothing else.  Indeed, the very maximal potential  level of deterrence Iran would possibly reach is what is known as “Mutual Assured Destruction, or MAD.

But MAD is not necessarily a mad concept after all. Indeed, most strategic experts attribute the non-occurrence  of a nuclear Armageddon between the West and the former Soviet Union to the MAD theory and rational fear of humanity’s extinction.

The Ukrainian crisis

It is widely believed that the Ukrainian leadership is more or less remorseful for giving up its nuclear arsenal following the downfall of the Soviet Union. The argument made by some Ukrainian military leaders, and privately by President Zelinsky,  is that Russia wouldn’t have invaded a nuclear-armed  Ukraine in broad daylight and in full view of NATO and the West?  I realize that it would be  “probably unwise” to take this argument for granted. None the less, it is true that the world has been transformed into a real, brutal jungle thanks to the rapacity, arrogance and criminality of the big powers,  especially the US and Russia.

I do believe a nuclear Iran would be an immensely destabilizing factor especially  at the regional level.  I know Israel, which has been demonizing and vilifying Iran since the downfall of the Shah, is in no mood to listen to a voice of reason and sanity regarding Iran. This is because the apartheid entity is hell-bent on retaining and expediting its belligerent regional hegemony.

Arabs have only themselves to blame

 I could anticipate that Saudi Arabia would have to choose between developing or buying! its own nuclear deterrent, or embarking on a road leading to a cordial normalization and full alliance with Israel in exchange for placing the bloated kingdom under Israel’s nuclear umbrella.

There is already a strong proclivity by the de facto King, Muhammed Bin Salman (MBS) to go in this direction. But Israel is notoriously parsimonious, and an insolent Zionist leadership would most likely insist that MBS must recognize Jerusalem (East and West) as Israel’s united and eternal capital. So, once again the Palestinians would be the main losers if Israel had her way.   

This is the price the Arabs of our time would have to pay for succumbing to their treacherous “rulers” who acquire their “legitimacy” from Israel’s guardian-ally,  America, which doesn’t give a damn about Arabs and Muslims, or their rights, honor and dignity (END).

Jewish Nazism is reality not fiction

Published

on

Jewish Nazism

I realize that the title of this article might offend and provoke many people, especially those adhering to the Judaic faith. I do know that Jews, like everyone else, are not carbon copies of each other. There are many conscientious Jews who believe in fairness and basic human equality regardless of color, race and faith, and strongly reject racism and chauvinism in any form. Also, I will no longer be using euphemistic language in reference to Jewish Nazism especially in light of the latest Dresden-like bombing of Gaza by the Judeo-Nazi state also known as Israel.

Read Also: No forgiveness for Jewish Nazism

These people I salute for their rectitude, humanity and morality. They are our natural partners for peace and a better tomorrow for our children and their children.

But there are numerous other Jews who don’t believe in human equality and justice for all. Indeed, there are many Jews, e.g. followers of the hateful Chabad sect, who don’t even ascribe full humanity to people who are not members of the Jewish faith.

Needless to say, the venomous ideology adopted by these racist fanatics has much in common with Aryan Nazism.

Read Also: The futility of counting on the U.S. to pressure Israel

What else can be said to describe an ideology that teaches adherents that the life of a non-Jew has no sanctity and that goyem can be murdered without the slightest compunction or feeling of guilt?

The shocking reactions by the Israeli government, rabbis, and community leaders to the latest abduction, murder and subsequent burning of a Palestinian kids in Gaza are very telling.

In a certain sense, these reactions and attitudes can be compared to the reactions and attitudes of many Germans to the pogroms carried out against Jews by the Nazis prior to and during the Second World War.

The gleefully despicable embrace of the brashly hideous crime by the bulk of the Israeli Jewish society underscores the fact that millions of Jews in Israel and abroad do harbor certain Nazi tendencies, especially against the Palestinian people. These tendencies are too real and too tangible to be overstated.

However, we must call the spade a spade, even at the expense of upsetting the huge Zionist propaganda machine which habitually alters the black into white and the blatant big lie into a “truth” glorified by sheepish westerners who have long been brainwashed into believing that Israel is a modern, civilized and democratic state.

In the final analysis, when Jews (or anyone else) think, behave and act like the Nazis thought, behaved and acted, they simply become Nazis. Pure and simple.

Today, there are numerous Jews who openly call for the physical annihilation of Palestinians as retaliation for the abduction and killing of three Jewish settlers in the West Bank.

Saber-rattling rabbis speak menacingly of the need to adopt “the Biblical way” to combat the Palestinians.

For those not versed in Jewish phraseology, “Biblical way” is euphemism for genocide.

Today, the Israeli media reported that some army personnel openly appealed to the government to “give us the green light to annihilate them.”!!!

Just read what thousands of Jewish youths have been writing on their Facebook pages! It is outrageous, disgusting and sheer evil.

To put it in a nutshell, Nazism is being regurgitated and exuded all over Israel. This is happening in broad daylight while professional liars like Binyamin Netanyahu are filling the ether with all sorts of shameless lies about Israel being victimized by the Palestinians.

Seventy-six years have passed since Kristalnacht. Today Jewish settlers in the west Bank, in close cooperation and coordination, with the Israeli army could very well carry out a huge pogrom against an innocent and helpless community which really finds itself very much in the same precarious and vulnerable position that European Jewry experienced prior to WWII.

I am not a prophet of doom and gloom, but the signs are unmistakably bleak.

A final point, the Palestinian people in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are surviving thanks to the good-will of the international public opinion. Should the international community go into a brief slumber, God forbid, Israel and its own Wehrmacht, SS, Gestapo and Hitler Youth might embark on the unthinkable. Don’t you ever say Jews can’t carry out a holocaust against their victims, the Palestinians?

Words can kill; words do kill.

Unfortunately, the chilling words we are hearing from many Israeli Jews these days leave no room for optimism.

I’m most definitely Palestinian!

Palestinian

In-your-face brutality, unending genocide, unending atrocities, mass slaughter directed against one’s people, one’s brethren, causes the most strong and unimaginable reaction, in response to the oppressor’s horrendous and barbaric deeds. The autocratic, despotic, tyrannical Israeli-hand systematically and with pre-planned engineered precision, massacres, annihilates, eliminates the young and the old Palestinian alike – in the most inhumane and most despicable of ways. Slaughters men, women and children in broad daylight. Bares its blood-thirsty intentions, its monstrous objectives in the most unashamed of ways. Mercy to none – not to the living, not to the severely wounded and dying; no mercy even on the dead or their lifeless remains.

The constant fear of being bombed anytime, rained down with missiles and all manner of munitions from within the vast arsenal of the Israeli side; definitely stockpiled high, with enough buffer inventory of munitions, deadly and lethal stockpile, to blow the receiving side multiple times over; so as not to leave a “shred” of evidence of your original physical-self on the surface of the land, which your people, generations and generations of your ancestors, since time immemorial have dwelt on.

Read Also: The age-old Palestinian-fear (of the Israeli thirst)

The inexplicable terror of seeing Israeli drones constantly “floating about” unopposed, in the skies above your unsheltered head. Drones with eyes like that of a greedy dog. Electronic pixels wanting to cast an evil eye, an evil-spell upon your very being. Eyeing upon your existence, wanting to blow-up, tear-up your physical being, seemingly wanting to devour your flesh and body; all by way of a few computer clicks / even the manual computer-clicks now, seemingly, are being replaced by more automated ways of executing these most evil deeds. Software, coded software, written programs to execute on the most Evil-intentions. Evil-intentions of the most evil amongst the human race.

Everybody knows, the Israelis have exterminated with their weaponry, uncountable numbers of Palestinians across a 40, 50km stretch of land, in front of the whole world, over the past so many weeks and months. And retain the capacity, the ability, the power, the means to slaughter, devour many, many more innocent ones, day in, day out.

The Israelis possess American technology, American weapons – the bedrock of their faith, the foundation stone of their belief in their never-ending invincibility. The Palestinians have their faith in Allah; that Allah will redeem his faithful people, from the clutches of these war-mongers, who rain down terror, day and night on the most innocent, the most vulnerable.

Most definitely, the Moslem spirit in me, the Palestinian spirit in me is not defeated; quite to the contrary, it’s rekindled, stronger than ever.

I’m definitely Palestinian, in every sense of the word, and Allah will save us, Allah will have mercy on us, Allah will guide us.

The futility of counting on the U.S. to pressure Israel

Published

on

It is really ludicrous to see how dishonest the U.S “mediators” constantly demand that the Palestinians display more “good will” toward Israel at a time when Israel continues to perpetrate a real Holocaust against the hapless and helpless Palestinaians and steal Palestinian land in broad daylight.

It seems amply clear that the current Palestinian leadership, i.e. the Palestinian Authority (PA)  led by Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, neither learns from its own blunders nor from other people’s blunders. This is really a gigantic disaster befalling the Palestinian people and their enduring just cause.

How else can one relate to the unrelenting illogical insistence of the the whole world on accepting the U.S., Israel’s guardian-ally, as “mediator and honest broker” between us and our murderous tormentors and grave-diggers, Israel?

Indeed, one doesn’t have to be an expert on American foreign policy in the Middle East to know that the U.S represents the problem, not the solution, given its long-standing embrace of Israeli fascism and expansion.  After all, it is the US that not only enabled Israel to actively pursue its lebensraum policy at the expense of its neighbors but consistently shield it from any accountability or international condemnation.

Today, the U.S. administration is criticizing Palestinian “unilateralism” in reference to desperate PA efforts to get the UN Security Council to recognize Palestinian statehood and agree on a deadline for ending Israel’s Nazi-like occupation.

Well, we all know that the U.S. is being pornographically hypocritical when it accuses the virtually vanquished Palestinians of acting unilaterally as if its spoilt nefarious daughter, Israel, were ever acting in full conformity with international law.

Well, Mr. Abbas and Mr. Ereikat: Don’t be too gullible, too sheepish. Ask your American interlocutors, e.g. Mr. John Kerry, the following questions:

Since when did Israel ever behave bilaterally rather than unilaterally?

Was the usurpation of Palestine and expulsion of its indigenous people at the hands of Jewish terrorist gangs hailing from Eastern Europe, a bilateral or unilateral act?

Was the annexation by Israel of East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights a bilateral or a unilateral act?

Was the building of hundreds of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as well as the transfer of 600,000 Jewish settlers to live on a land that belongs not to them a bilateral or unilateral act?

Was the wanton demolition of some 30,000 Palestinian homes by Israel a bilateral or a unilateral act?

Was the annexation of the bulk of the West Bank and East Jerusalem a bilateral or a unilateral act?

And what about this ugly structure, called Separation wall, which resulted in the theft of thousands of acres of private Palestinian land? Was it a bilateral or a unilateral act?

I could go on and on and on listing America’s hypocritical and duplicitous stands on Palestinian grievances and Israeli crimes. Indeed, the U.S dishonest stand on the Palestinian plight has only been consistent in its moral depravity. Indeed, hypocrisy in its most brazen form has always been and continues to be the modus operandi of American policy toward the Palestinian issue. I know it is politically incorrect to speak in this tone. However, truth must not be another victim of the dark evil embrace between the U.S. and Israel.

But morality is not and has never been part of American politics or policies, especially foreign policy. This is why the world looks so ugly, so gloomy and so unjust.

The U.S. is insisting that only a “negotiated” settlement to the Palestinian issue would be acceptable to the U.S.

In other words, Israel must always have the final say as to any possible peace deal with the Palestinians.

But since Israel would never ever end its occupation or dismantle the settlements, let alone allow for the repatriation of the refugees, it means there can be no negotiated settlement unless the Palestinians agree to surrender to Jewish Nazism. But that will never happen as Muslims, including the Palestinian people, would never allow the Ramallah leadership or any other leadership to commit adultery with the honorable Palestinian cause.

Let’s be honest. The purportedly honest American broker or mediator is neither honest nor a broker or mediator. The proverbial American judge is simply telling the insolent rapist (Israel) and the vanquished rape victim (the Palestinians) to sort it out amongst yourselves. Do we have to be the smartest humans on earth to understand the implications of this brutal ugliness?

It is tantamount to a total American embrace of Israeli fascism. It means that the American stance is actually Israel’s stance. It also means that that the U.S. would never accept or condone any settlement that Israel doesn’t accept.

That is why the Palestinians need to have a moment of truth with themselves.
And the message they need to internalize is that they would have to wait ages if they continued to put their trust in the U.S. to pressure Israel to walk in the path of peace.

Let us face it. Israel will never walk in the path of peace unless it is pressured and bullied to do so. However, Israel would never ever walk in the path of peace as long as it continues to receive nuclear submarines from Germany and the most advanced fighter jets from the U.S.

In a nut shell, America can’t and won’t exert any meaningful pressure on Israel to end its N-a-z-i-like occupation. We all know that Israel controls the American government or at least controls those who control the American government. Israel is intoxicated by its arrogance of power and Talmudic insolence. And the U.S., Israel’s guardian-ally, is not in a position to be an honest mediator and to impose a deal on Israel or even convince her to allow for one that would give the Palestinian a semblance of justice.

What should be done?

We must go ahead with our efforts at the U.N. Security Council, irrespective of American threats to veto any resolution favorable to the Palestinian cause. At least casting the veto would embarrass America itself and its treacherous Arab allies (they are not actually allies but cheap slaves and puppets as we all know).

We Palestinians must be confident of our inevitable triumph over Zionism and its evils. Yes, it may take time, but eventually Zionism won’t live forever in a sea where hundreds of millions live.
