Rosner's Domain: Who wants to be "nice to the Iranian regime"Posted by SHMUEL ROSNER
Comments: 46 Follow Rosner's Domain on Twitter!!! Interesting read: CQ Transcript: Senators Lieberman, Graham and McCain Call for Stronger Stance on Iran. Here's a couple of paragraphs: MCCAIN: The liberal left, during the Cold War so warned that if we spoke out for the people who are captive nations, members of captive nations, that that would lead to greater oppression. We found out after the Berlin Wall came down that we were, in their words, a beacon of hope and liberty and freedom for them. So the liberal left will, again, continue to argue that we should be nice to the Iranian regime and we shouldnt encourage dissidence. That is in direct contradiction to the fundamental principles of the United States of America. GRAHAM: Well, if I may add, this is -- if you look back in history, this wasnt the liberal left criticizing. Ronald Reagans people in his own administration tried to dissuade him from making the Tear down this wall speech. And the only person, I think, that voted against resolution in the House condemning Iran was Ron Paul . So I just want to put on record that a lot of people have gotten it wrong. And this is not, to me, about, you know, my expertise versus somebody in a think tank. Its about me doing what I think I need to do as an American, as somebody who is awed by the courage it takes to go to the streets knowing you may not come back or you get killed or injured.

We should find a surrogate
2 | Shel Zahav in Jerusalem, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
If we had Ronald Reagan in the White House today, the Iranian people would have succeeded in overthrowing their evil government already.
3 | Zan, Istanbul, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
shel Zahav, it is too much to call the Iranian government evil. In fact, Israel is more evil than Iran. Israel rained white phosphorus recently on the children of Gaza, killing and maiming and incinerating thousands of them. That was an evil act carried out by an evil army and an evil state.
Iran never did some thing like that.
Also, if hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were to demonstrate for freedom and justice, the IDF would probably kill tens of thousands.
You are the real evil power in the Middle East. You steal land and build Jewish-only settlements thereon. so shut up.
4 | Tom, US, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
As long as Israel acts like a total complete ass toward the Palestinians as well as the rest of their neighbors in the middle east then they can expect for all their neighbors to hate them. You people have been threatening to attack Iran for how long now? Also bombing Syria which is in violation of international law. Maybe ALL your neighbors should bomb the hell out of Dimona just the same as you do to all these other countries. The good news is that pretty soon all your aid from the US wil be cut off as you continue your settlement program.
5 | Mike Feldman, Canada, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
To-day is Canada's 142 birhday, Happy Birthday Canada. Happy belated 61 to Israel. It could also have been the 61st year of a Palestinian state, but sadly the neighbouring Arab countries rejected UN 181 and immediately attacked the new Israeli state. Had the Arabs been more dedicated fighters they likely would have won. However the Israelis survived numerous attacks and increased their state size to defensible borders. The big losers here were the Palistinians. Their Arab brothers created a refugee crisis. Egypt, Syria, and Jordan should actively attempt to take part in peace talks with CONT'd
6 | Mike Feldman, Canada, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Israel to end the travesty they started. Iran was not a participant in these wars and should have influence in the outcome. Surely the Arab countries realize this. Israel likely sees the possibility of peace with her Arab neightbours and a solution to the plight of the Palestians, but there can be no peace with Iran uder its current leadership. Iran seems to be on a suicide mission, and American influence notwithstanding, Israel will likely grant them their wish.
7 | Mike Feldman, Canada, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
With people like Tom on their side, the Palistianians don't need enemies. Tom has coined a new geopolitical term "complete ass". I think Tom has it ass backwards, Iran has been threatening to wipe Israel off the map for how long now? I would think with Tom's intelligence background he would know the difference between strategic bombing and wiping off the map. Syria did not complain because they would have had to admit that what they couldn't admit to having was bombed. Israel and Syria are not at peace. I never said the Arabs would like the Israelis. The Egytians and Jordanians don't.
8 | Pierre S USA, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Zan from Ottoman Istambul...Yeah like the Turks have no blood on their hands...Ottoman HISTORY STINKS WITH HORROR! Ask the Armenians? You killed millions...and with swords and guns. Turkey should make up their minds...are they for freedom and the West or Wahabbi Islam. Turkey choose the wrong side in WW1 and how about leaving those Kurds alone. Zan mind you own turkey bird mind business. Turkey hates Arabs thats interestign whats with that. Dont you guys pray to the same "Jewish" God!?
9 | Howard T USA, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
To Tom us first Tommy ole boy as a Jew in the usa I want to thank you for your tax money that goes for Israel. Even Jew haters like you pay for Israels's defense against Jew Haters like you. When the USA stops aiding Israel, one of their best allies...you will crap out gold bricks...!!!!!
10 | Misleading statements, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
The liberal left wing,talk about loaded words, has never said to be nice to Iran. Just leave the doors open for negotiations. You negotiate with your enemies.
11 | stewart Penn, Austin, Texas, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Mike Feldman, The Arabs were right to reject the theft of Palestine in 1947? Ashkenazi Jews didn't belong then to Palestine, they don't belong now.
You murdered them, you massacred their people, you stole their land, you bulldozed their farms, you demolished their homes, and you expelled them to the four corners, and now ..you are telling them you only have yourselves to blame!!
Israel never wanted peace...even now they continue to steal land and build settlementsfor these thugs...at the same time Israelis have the audacity to say "we want peace." you are liars, Mike. Big liars.
12 | Arthur Feusch, Dallas, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
MIKE,Canada, too, is a racist and criminal state. Israel demolished and depopulated Christians and Muslims from several towns and villages near Jerusalem. And Candada established "Canda Park" right on the ruins of these Arab villages....
And you call Canada a civilized state?
Since when was ethnic cleansing a civilized behvior?
13 | Tzvi/amerikkka, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Does iran manufacture the centafuges they use for their nuke program or do irans friends in europe provide iran with the equipment to manufacture nukes
14 | Hofikoman, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Shel Zahav - Whether it is Israel with the Arabs or the USA with Iran far too much has been invested whether on the right or on the left. All American policy wonks and their students, the presidents,have desired relations with Iran, at all costs, including Reagan who gave them arms for hostages. The Israeli left thought they could conciliate the Arabs by being nice and the Israeli right by being forceful. What if Iran and the Arabs had been ignored as much as was practically possible over the decades? Doesn't the Bible recommend "Shev, V Lo Ta-aseh" "Sit and do nothing?" Instead:we have a mess
15 | Isaac, USA, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Tom and Zan are both morons and nobody cares what they think..haha
16 | Roland Berger,South Africa, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Dear Tom,the real reason that all the neighbouring Arab countries do not bomb Dimona is called "fear". They know very well,from their own past experiences,what price will they have to pay if they do such a foolish act.As for the foreign USA aid being cut -well,I would like to remind those who forgot that the BEST ever time is Israel's history was when we were under embargo. De Gaule did not give us Mirage air planes ? We build our Kfirs. USA did not deliver us tanks ? We build our Merkawa. Granted,we did not visit USA,UK or France too much then,but we were much freer...
17 | Tom, US, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
If anybody needs a complete ass Feldman, all they have to do is read your ignorant posts.
18 | The Patriot, USA, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
The differences are significant, but the Three Senate Stooges of neo-con nuttiness will not care one whit. The Soviets threatened Western Europe and beseiged West Berlin. The Iranians do not. The Soviets enslaved their neighbors with their form of government. The Iranians have not. The Founding Fathers warned us against foreign entanglements, and John Q. Adams said the U.S. doesn't roam the world looking for monsters to fight. We need to dial back the hostility toward Iran, and give good ole Zionism the heave ho that it richly deserves.
19 | Eric Fincher, New Mexico (USA), Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Zan, brings up a good point, but what he is forgetting is, on so many occasions, the Palestinians have launched rockets into Israel thus killing innocent women and children. The only reason they haven't been more successful is because they fear the repercussions. So why do the Palestinians continue to claim they are victims? It has also been said by Palestinian leaders that Israel has no right to be in the Middle East and therefore should be pushed into the sea. Is all this kind of rhetoric acceptable?
20 | Mike Feldman, Canada, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Tom < I never agreed with you, but until #17 I thought you had a brain.Insulting someone who debates you is kinda what a 6 year old does. #11 Mr. Revisionist History. If the Jews were as you said, it was a pretty lame ass idea to attack them. Easy for you to condemn possibilty of peace from Texas. Your Ashenazai riff has been worn out many times on these posts by good old fashioned Jew haters. #12 -Ethnic Cleansing is criminal behavoiur. Just like the Arabs had in mind for the Jews in 1947 as a second act of the Holocast. Canada is a racist state. Are you integrated yet in Texas?
21 | Tom, US, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
16 | Roland Berger - Fear is the reason why Israel will not bomb Iran. Thanks to Israeli meddling in military affairs in Georgia prior to their ill fated attack on S Ossetia Russia will be selling the S-300 missile batteries to not only Iran but Syria also.

# 10 The worse gesture is to protect your own party, when the truth gets burried, I guess you have never listened to NPR in the past, sometimes having commentarries on how wonderful life in Iran is, at least NPR used to air this type of propaganda, I imagine since the protests began on June 13 NPR has changed their tune, but as Obama's stance was, to wait and see how it plays out, NPR will probably return to it's old rhetoric on how wonderful of a place Iran is, giving it's listeners the impression that the Ayetollah and co. is good and everything is good and O.K, in Iran.
23 | p. taylor U.S.A., Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Tom, whats up with posting such an ignorant comment, you remind me of a 20 year old kid who just picked up an article on the Middle East conflict yesterday, and started repeating word for word what the article stated ie, "Israel Bombs Gaza killing 700 innocent people", Tom my friend you need to read about Hamas, PLO, Fatah, Hizbollah, Islamic Jihad, the Palestinian leader Husseini from 1921-48, and how Israel declared their independance on the land given to them by the British thru the U.N., and how the Palestinians rejected the land given to them, istead claimed all of Palestine and went on to
24 | Hofikoman, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Has anyone noticed how the 88 year old Neo-Nazi Racist White Supremacist attacker of the American Holocaust Memorial has just disappeared from the Headlines? Its open season on Zionists! A media making sure events which build sympathy and demonstrate the cogency of the Zionist ideology are buried is par for the course in Obama's America.
25 | Mike Feldman, Canada, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Obama and Netanyahu have declared the Israeli-U.S. bond as ünbreakable" I get the impression from some of you U.S. posters that you do not believe your President. That's not possible is it? If so, Tom has the inside story. P.S. The greatest % of Anericans polled look at Iran as the greatest threat to the U.S. Stick with an old friend or buddy up to a despotic regime that kills its own citizens for protesting a phony electilon and calls you the Great Satan? More from Tom to follow. Tom when you say "comlplete ass-"" Do you mean two cheeks and an anus? or is that some covert reference?
26 | KGM, London, UK, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
Rosner, you must be joking; you are talking about Iran and you are quoting John McCain who only last year, in a most vile cold-heartedness and most sadistic insensitivity, used his campaign stage to sing 'Bomb, bomb, bomb Bomb Iran'. This senile ill-informed old brat now wants us to believe that he cares for the people of Iran? - and Lieberman, that cameleon avid ultra-zionist Israel-firster who will not mind if the US use up all its financial and military resources to protect the interests of the country he loves more than the US? By the way, Rosner, why did you leave out Lberman's quotes?
27 | andy-london, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
i like the reformers as they can see that under midget ahmadinijad and these crazy 6th century imams [or mad mullahs ] they'll never be free to think for themselves.They dont scream for jihads like these old crazies do for the least thing,and calling for the destruction of Israel. I mean surely these old fogies know theirs no paradise for them or their ilk.I mean what kind of bloodthirsty diety would WANT that kind of sacrifice and then make them think after murdering people he'll give them a paradise.You can be sure these young Iranians know that. to be continued.
28 | andy-london, Wednesday Jul 01, 2009
I watched a documentary on Iran and a lot of these youngsters are leaving their religion as there's thousands of churches springing up ALL over Iran.Of course the crazies are persecuting them.I wonder WHY because surely allah has nothing to fear if he's the real thing?You never hear of ANY other people using the sword and suicide bombers to create FEAR in their people if they dont adhere to their teaching.People enjoy life and dont go about blowing up people to proselyte their religion.That's how Israel is a thriving nation which people love to holiday in.

PHONY "PATRIOT USA",
Is anything BUT!
The FALSE "Patriot" is most Likely a Neo-Nazi Jew-Hater whose VENOM overpowers the REALITY that Israel and The United States are FRIENDS and ALLIES against the EVIL that threatens us all.
Phony "Patriot" is OBVIOUSLY part of THAT EVIL!!

One thing about the JPost, they publish every nut bag over and over again. What would you do if you didn't have Tom, Zan, The Patriot ( I puke at the sight of that bigot using the word Patriot) to post. At least this blog is somewhat balanced. Your Talkback editors are far worse then this Blog. The banisters, et al, are know Arab Propogandists yet they constantly are published over and over spouting the same old , same old. It would be nice if they presented a cogent argument for their perverted views but to spout the Part Line over and Over and constantly get published by an Israel i Paper
31 | ISZ, Thursday Jul 02, 2009
Zan....your comments are not to be believed by anyone with a brain who believes in telling the truth.
You have your own biased, hate-filled world to occupy yourself. Leave this forum to those who hve integrity.
32 | Frank F USA, Thursday Jul 02, 2009
Hey Stewrat Penn...from Texas...when the usa who stole your state from Mexico gives it back to Mexico...then and only then will Israel give up their land. Stewy..you are a big hypocrite and a Jesus hater...anyone who hates Jews also hates Jesus..you remember that nice Jewish boy!

America just wants a prosperous world. Freedom of human rights. Things that will allow the economy to boom. The ability to deteriorate poverty. Out of every issue in the world, there is one that sticks out with the most importance and its Human Rights. The ability for people to speak for the people. The opportunity for freedom. Freedom to live peacefully with all cultures together. In order for this to happen, we have to respect each other first. Treat all people equal. Arms races, terrorism, and all other propaganda b.s. is not the answer. Love your neighbors like your family.

Iran needs to drop there weapons. Stop there decisions to produce mass destruction weapons. Listen to there people. If not, then they will need to be forced to do so. Nice works with nice people. If it doesn't work, that means they are probably not too nice. Oppression drives hate and anger and will eventually be Irans downfall. They should know better by sheer virtue of common sense and the will of there own people to put them in to the type of government they have now. Isreal is a part of the Iranian people as is America and a lot of other countries. It's the evolution of a revolution!

jason, you are arrogant and stupid. Who are you to tell a nation of 80 million what to do?
Iran is a sovereign state, it has the right to manufacture weapons like Israel and the US do.
Israel introduced nukes to the ME fifty yars ago. Why can't Iran have a deterent?
Don't be arrogant. Don't think like a Nazi.

23 | p. taylor - Am I allowed to read the part about how the mossad was involved with the initial formation of Hamas ? OR is that now on your proscribed list of things to read ? So when did Hamas become the 'bad guys' ? When you lost control of them ? Like I have stated before, you people created the problems in the middle east and the best thing the US can do is simply walk away from those of you who worship the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people of Palestine.

Tom. Did you know that Ahmedinejad is acually a Mossad coverft? Did you know that Bibi is a Muslim sympathizer? I'll bet you didn't know that Leiberman sneaks into his Mosque when no one is watching. We had this indiginenous discussio\n before, and your answer was to read the Ottoman registries. I did and found no evidence of any other people having a continuous history in the area other than the Jews. What you call ethnic cleansing would take a couple of thousand years at its current pace. Where did you 'read' about Mossad setting up Hamas?
42 | Eric scottsville NY USA, Friday Jul 03, 2009
Israel should be nice to Iran.Then destroy it.
43 | Tom, US, Friday Jul 03, 2009
41 | Mike Feldman -' the Ottoman registries, no evidence of any other people having a continuous history in the area other than the Jews' - Might be credible if you knew how to read Feldman. So you used your color crayons to erase every mention of anyone other than a jew. How original.
44 | andy-london, Saturday Jul 04, 2009
#41 Tom cant help telling lies as he probabl y doesn't know any history but what he's being taught in the madrasses so everything else is just conjecture.You see if they cant answer without reverting to fairytales just humour them.The next thing that he'll be saying is that mohammed is Moses brother and that he was jewish as well.
45 | Andrea Davis Stiles Georgia/USA, Monday Jul 06, 2009
Anyone with any sense at all knows you don't make deals with the devil. The Iranian leader is clearly a tyrant and terribly dishonest and cruel! I am ashamed of those in my own government who aren't strong enough or wise enough to stand firm on the foundational and fundamental principals of freedom and human rights in which our own people have been so abundantly blessed of God to enjoy. For all those who "respect" the ways of peoples who support and promote tyranny anywhere, may shame consume them and turn their hearts to TRUTH and PEACE!
46 | p. taylor U.S.A., Sunday Jul 12, 2009
Again Tom, Im sure its fun to make up history as you go, I don't know of one person who wants to see the ethnic cleansing of the "palestinians who have moved to what is actually the Jewish folks ancestrial homeland, I guess you have left that out of your personal readings. Its not me telling you what to read and not read, your on your own on that and always have been, on second thought somebody must be telling you what to read and not read, by the way what exactly did the mossad do to help create Hamas, from what I understand the Hamas is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood from Egypt.
