Israel takes a new step in its anti-Tehran rantings with the launch of a smear campaign against Iran to spoil the country’s global image.
A top Israeli political source revealed plans by Tel Aviv to step up efforts that would result in the international denunciation of the Iranian government.
“We have to lay the foundation in the world, and particularly in Europe, in order to be able to take harsher steps against Iran, especially in the economic sector,” said the source.
The report by Haaretz added that about NIS 8 million — nearly USD 2 million — has already been appropriated to carry out the project which is to be overseen by the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
The campaign has been launched amid a thaw in thirty years of hostile relations between Iran and the US after President Barack Obama sought to engage Tehran in talks over its nuclear program and other issues.
Israeli circles, however, doubt the effectiveness of dialogue with Iran, claiming it will not lead to fundamental change in Tehran’s nuclear stance.
In preparations for an Israeli-sought diplomatic failure over the Iranian issue, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman have called for a broad “public relations” campaign to turn the world against Iran.
The measures included in the project are appealing to those who are not concerned about Iran’s nuclear program but can turn against the Islamic Republic over what Haaretz described as “human rights abuses and mistreatment of minorities, including the gay and lesbian community”.
The plan also includes “increased briefings for foreign journalists on the Iranian nuclear program and greater use of the Internet and sites such as YouTube.”
The Israeli campaign is also set to focus on alleged remarks by the Iranian president regarding the Holocaust.
After President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad questioned “the extent of the calamity” caused by the Holocaust the Israeli lobby hyped the issue, saying he has flatly denied the Holocaust.
Earlier in a September interview with CNN’s Larry King Live, the Iranian president made an attempt to make clear his views on the Holocaust.
When asked if, from his point of view, the Holocaust did not happen, President Ahmadinejad said, “No, what I am saying is let more research be done.”
“What we are saying is that an impartial group should be formed to conduct an independent study on the extent of the calamity,” he further explained.
Such combined efforts against Iran have been intensified after the government of new Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to power.
In line with such anti-Iran attempts, Israel’s hawkish Netanyahu raised the alarm in March about a major military conflict in the upcoming months.
According to Debka, which is believed to have close links to Israeli spy agency Mossad, “His main consideration is that Israel expects to be embroiled in a major military confrontation in the next few months with Iran, Hamas or Hezbollah — or all three at once.”

Bet you don’t even know that the Iranian president is not even the decider of that country? He has for instance no command over the military. And in about a month, someone else might take his place…
And btw, what problem would that be? the non-existand nuclear weapons program? Zero evidence. They have inspections, have signed the NPT and there’s even a fatwa against nuclear weapons.
In a way its bad that they overthrew that puppet Shah..had he been in place longer then the Iranians would’ve received nuclear technology from USA…
USA has been worse to Iran than the other way around. Just look at Operation Ajax and USA’s support for Saddam in his war against Iran.
An estimated 10.000 people would die in strikes against nuclear sites. How moral.
I hope Russia sends a clear signal to Israel/USA. No more wars.

Yes, everyone being shocked and walked out of the racism conference. Every European and US criticized Ahmadinejad about that, but they all sit on their hands when millions are starving and facing endless assaults by advanced military while they live in poverty and abused on daily basis. My blood couldn’t boil more over the bulls--- of seeing pig headed politicians walk out on his words. Bunch of bully school children.

A little test, guys. Go to the forums on prisonplanet, and look for coverage of the recent jewish-israeli Holocaust in Gaza. The jewish-israeli strategy, followed to the letter by Israel’s zionist supporters in the USA, is to eliminate, or remove from the mainstream, all coverage of the sickening crimes against Humanity carried out by the jews of Israel, and its supporters.
In ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’, Adams writes about an act of destruction by a british council. The act is to demolish the home of the ‘hero’ of the story. The council official berates the ‘hero’ for not complaining earlier, pointing out that all intended council actions are required to be made available to the public first. Our ‘hero’ states that yes, the plans had been made available, in a filing cabinet lost in an unused cellar in a room with broken stairs and a light that did not work.
Alex Jones, in an identical manner, hides the Gaza Holocaust forum in as obscure a place as possible, and has his people move all thread attempts to highlight current israeli crimes into that ‘black hole’.
To the contrary, whatreallyhappened and uruknet always give massive prominence to the same stories, and as a consequence suffer attack and censorship by google and wikipedia.
Genuine anti-fascist, anti-police-state, anti-NWO movements suffer genuine and largely effective attacks and censorship. Those sites, organisations, or people that exist in order to be NOT effective, ‘magically’ avoid all such real trauma (although will sometime create faux controversy to make themselves appear real).
Ultra zionist, Noam Chomsky, is a great example of this. Every real university academic that has gone after the crimes of the US government, or has sought to aid the victims of american wars of aggression, is either serving massive prison sentences in US jails, or is out of a job. Deep agents like Chomsky, on the other hand, go from strength to strength in their university career.
THIS IS SIMPLE GAMING THEORY. In order to make a powerful gaming move, you have to reveal something significant about your plan or purpose. We should be as disturbed by Chomsky’s ‘good fortune’ as we are by prisonplanet’s lack of enthusiasm for investigating the power of the jewish lobby in every aspect of business, law, mass media, social engineering, and politics in the USA. There’s a 50ft dinosaur in the room, but Alex Jones states that this is the one thing not worth discussing.
Meanwhile, all across the jewish owned/controlled mainstream media, Iran and Pakistan will be demonised every second of the day. Maximum anti-muslim, pro-genocide sentiment there. Minimum anti-zionist-nazi coverage here.

THIS CRISIS IS BIGGER THAN THE “JEWS”!!
Are they involved? Sure they are. But the New World Order Movement is NOT RUN BY THEM!
It’s not people like Alex Jones that are causing more problems, it’s PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE STIRRING UP s--- WITH OTHERS LIKEMINDED! Rather than focus on ALL the problems, and how to deal with them, you’d rather turn people back against themselves.
IT’S CALLED “DIVIDE AND CONQUER”. That’s what the NWO wants! ALEX ISN’T DOING THIS, YOU ARE! Alex talks about Israel’s role in the scheme, but this is much bigger than Israel.
Besides, most JEWS are good, ordinary people that want world peace and harmony. You can’t blame an ENTIRE RACE for the actions of a few corrupt people. It’s people like you who spit out all this RACIAL BULLs--- that cause many ‘would-be’ new activists to turn their backs,

So – yet another giyus.org operative speaks? Why not face up to the fact, like many Jews have already done (eg. http://www.jewsagainstzionism.org/
http://www.nkusa.org/
http://www.jewsnotzionists.org/
) that Zionism is destroying ‘good ordinary Jews’ by the wholesale destruction of everything decent in mankind that it relentlessly continues to conduct throughout the world?
Unity will never be achieved when one small, powerful group has such disdain for their fellow beings that they will destroy everything that stands between them and absolute power.

Yes, they celebrate those terrorist like on these shirts. Terrorism is a word used for public control. Terrorism, War, and Fear always spread… However, those elusive “towel heads” taking over buses and blowing things up in western society are causing real havoc, aren’t they? Poor Israelis being bombarded by model ESTES rockets with nails duct taped to them order in a high tech military aided by USA, laser, satellite guided weapons blowing up everyone, using children as entry agents into buildings as they clear house to house. Shoot first ask questions later. Blatant bombing, Willy Pete women and children to death. Bulldoze homes, check point abuses, many other forms of humiliation. And this was said: UN chief Ban Ki-moon also criticized Ahmadinejad’s speech on Monday, calling it an attempt “to accuse, divide and even incite.” When the UN, US, and all of Europe sit passively on their asses while this killing occurs, have the gaul to make such a remark. To me inaction of all these nations is more inciteful. Now the fake Israelites(America’s Island) is continuing the years of war threats against Iran. When will the madness end…

Isreal doesn’t have to do much to ruin the reputation of Iran, they did it to themselves a few days ago. Ahmadinajad’s rant of the “racist” Jews and Americans really set their country back if they were looking for sympathy and support. All the representative walked out of the U.N. conference leaving the bearded whiner alone at the podium with no one to cry to. Waaaah. Get prepared Iran because Isreal will wack you in July, the night of no moon.

“It didn’t suprise me that the Zionist backed countries walked out of the UN, truth always hurts”.
In my opinion he was right to question the authenticity of the holocaust, hear-say is not admissable as evidence.
It is correct to say that “not all Jews are Zionists” and also correct that “not all Zionists are Jews”.
All Jews that are not Zionists are anti-semites.

Actually that’s NOT true, only half the delegates walked out, the other half cheered him for stating the simple truth. Why is it so politically incorrect to criticize the Zionists for their war crimes in Gaza and their foreign policies? Every time someone does they jump up and down and scream “anti-semite”. This is not anti-semitic, it’s anti-oppression. There are many Jewish people who do NOT agree with the extreme right but, like those in the West who do NOT agree with US foreign policy, they are ignored.
Christians have held an adverse opinion of the Jewish nation for 2,000 years. They are despised all over the world and the majority of them have had to suffer because of the actions of a few on the extreme right. This is NOT right ! BUT it IS the way unevolved minds think and lets face it it seems the majority of people on this dirtball in space are pretty unevolved, otherwise, we wouldn’t be in the s---ty mess we’re in today.
The programme to lay dirt on the Iranians will backfire eventually; “Let he who has no guilt cast the first stone.”

If Israel was going to launch a military strike against Iran they would have done it last year. Israel doesnt have the logistics or the numbers to physically wage a war against Iran. The IDF dont have the manpower or the numbers of battalions to acutally engage Iran in any meaningful engagement. The best they could do isattampt to carpet bomb them. And even then they couldnt do that without Americas hardwars to do so.
So the Israelis are reduced to these types of bitchy psy ops that do nothing and dont help them globally.

Fair point on the troop numbers – less than half of Iran, but twice as many tanks, who would you rather fight? There is also the small matter of 400*-odd nuclear weapons though…
