Iran TV urges boycott of ‘Zionist’ products
TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran has launched a major campaign urging consumers to stop buying “Zionist” products, ranging from Coca-Cola and Pepsi soft drinks, to Calvin Klein clothing and Nestle food products.
“Pepsi stands for ‘Pay Each Penny to Save Israel”, viewers in the Islamic republic have been warned in an oft-repeated three-minute infomercial on state television, prompted by Israel’s ongoing assault against the Palestinian territories and Lebanon.

“Zionists are the biggest shareholders in the soft drinks industry, and each year they make billions of dollars for their colonialist aims,” consumers with a thirst for fizz have been told.

Coca-Cola is also not left unscathed by the new twist to the cola wars.

“This firm openly supports Israel and has even said that it is ready to allocate great deal of money to topple the Islamic republic,” state television said.

Both Pepsi and Coca-Cola have factories in Iran, although state television gave no indication over whether their operations would be affected.

A popular British high-street retailer, as well as a number of multinational firms, were also singled out for their links to the alleged international Jewish conspiracy to control the world.

“Marks and Spencer has very close relations with the Israeli regime and one its primary aims is to help the development of the Israeli economy,” the infomercial claimed.

“Nestle is a Swiss food processing firm which in 2000 announced that it will invest millions of dollars in Israel to build a factory there,” it added, while neglecting to mention that Nestle also has a factory in Iran.

The world’s largest chip maker Intel was also branded as “one of Israel’s biggest supporters”.

“Its first overseas branch was set up in Haifa in 1974. In 2000 it employed more that 4,000 Israelis. Its top managers have said that they are going to invest 6.5 billion dollars in Israel,” would-be Intel customers have been told.

“McDonalds, Timberland, Revlon, Garnier, Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and L’Oreal are only some of the firms which belong to the Zionist regime,” state television said, before taking a swipe at what it said were less vigilant Arab nations.

“Unfortunately most of the streets of Arab nations are filled with commercials which advertise Israeli products. For each purchase, the money is converted into bullets piercing the chests of the Lebanese and Palestinian kids,” it fumed.

Iran’s hardline Islamic leadership fiercely objects to the very existence of Israel, with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling for the Jewish state to be “wiped off the map” or moved elsewhere on the planet.

The head of Iran’s parliament, Gholam Ali Hadad-Adel, on Tuesday also branded Israel a “filthy tumor in the body of the Islamic world”.

Tehran has also been accused of providing financial and military support to its fellow Shiites in Lebanon’s Hezbollah as well as the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
But the regime continues to insists that it only gives “moral” support, and has in recent days decorated Tehran’s streets with huge posters of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
“The Islamic republic of Iran has never interfered in Syrian and Lebanese internal affairs. Our support is only moral,” foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi repeated to the ISNA news agency Wednesday.
State television meanwhile announced Iran’s Red Crescent was sending its first consignment of humanitarian aid to Lebanon — a 60-tonne consignment of rice, sugar, beans, date, tents and sleeping bags.

So while I sit here enjoying my Diet Coke, as I finish my yummy hamburger from McDonalds….I try hard not to spill any ketchup on my Calvin Klein jeans and Tommy Hilfiger sweatshirt, being sure to re-apply my ever soooo smooth and silky L’Oreal lip gloss and Revlon lipstick when I am done. I will thank God that all these things were invented and that I don’t live in Iran where I would have to wear a Burka over my Victoria Secret lingerie to really look devote, and Nick would be sitting around with a towell on his head holding the channel changer in one hand and an RPG in the other.
Whew! That was a mouth full heh heh

You mean you hate us? You really, really hate us? I just have one question though, what the hell is that Shiite cleric doing with his tongue???? Is he trying to figure out how to stick his tongue out at us or is that his impression of looking mean and dangerous. Good grief!

Have a wonderful birthday Bob and many, many more.

Here are some lowlights from CAIR’s article………..

Israel’s Dangerous Pursuit of Total Security
By Alaa Bayoumi
Alaa Bayoumi is director of Arabic affairs for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
The Bush administration’s one-sided support for Israel’s governments has ended the peace process. We have supported Israel’s unilateral withdrawal form the Gaza strip, its refusal to negotiate with any Palestinian partner, and its brutal siege on the Palestinian civilian population. Today, our core Arab allies, such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia, are shying away from even talking about the peace process.
More dangerously, the current Israeli government under Ehud Olmert, a shadow of Sharon who is trying to build an image among his people and in the Middle East as a tough military leader, is pursuing a strategy of total security that could lead to an open multi-national war in the Middle East.
Israel, the only nuclear power in the Middle East and the owner of the most powerful conventional military in the region, has launched an all-out war on two peoples in response to the kidnapping of a handful of its own soldiers. Israel itself holds thousands of innocent Palestinian and Lebanese people, men women and children who have been in Israeli jails for many years.
If our government does not act to stop Israel’s aggressive actions, America will lose the support of the great majority of the Arab peoples and governments.
What we need now is an immediate cease-fire and an international conference to which all major parties to the conflict and world powers should be invited. This conference should work on establishing a new security system for the Middle East.
Wild Thing’s comment……
I don’t know if I should laugh or be angry. Laugh I think HAHAHAHA
Poor CAIR they just can’t stand for Israel to have total security. Well total anything is almost impossible but Israel certainly has the right to try to have security and so does the USA.
Our Veterans fought for our freedom and security, our troops today are doing that as well. But apparently God forbid Israel fights back for their freedom and security of their country. And to make all efforts at getting their soldiers back from the terrorists. For shame! (NOT)
CAIR once again shows the world who’s side they are on, the side of the enemy of America, Israel and the world.
Every time CAIR has a chance to show the world there are so called moderate Muslims they prove those of us right that moderate Muslims simply do not exist.
And for you CAIR…..IF there was such a thing as a moderate Muslim, let’s say the ones living in America. I need to hear how outraged they are at what has been happening to the Jews in Israel and their soldiers, how you are fed up with the attacks on Israel who has done everything they could do follow the peace agreements and the pulling back, leaving Gaza etc.
I am waiting……….. or should I say………Bueller?????………………………….
Still waiting……………….Bueller???…………………

Israel: Iran Giving $100 Million to Hezbollah
Israel’s United Nations ambassador Dan Gillerman claims his government is in possession of documents that reveal Iran is funding the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah to the amount of $100 million yearly.
Gillerman made his accusations at U.N. headquarters where he was conferring with Security Council diplomats about the latest developments in the war-torn region.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who returned to New York City last night, briefed Council members on the latest developments of his Mideast negotiating team.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is scheduled to have dinner with Annan Thursday evening in New York and meet members of the U.N. Mideast negotiating team Friday.

Iranian Suicide Bombers Join Hezollah in Lebanon
adnkronos International
Tehran, 20 July (AKI) – A spokesman for an Iranian militant group which claims to have 55,000 would-be suicide bombers among its members said on Thursday that 27 of its men have joined Hezbollah militias in Lebanon to fight against Israel. “The first two groups of esteshhadioun (volunteers of martyrdom) have already reached Lebanon,” Mohammad Ali Samadi told Adnkronos International (AKI). Speaking on the phone from the organization’s headquarters in Tehran, Samadi said the militants reached Lebanon through Syria.
The spokesman for the Headquarters for the Glory of Martyrs of the International Movement said its militants in Lebanon were:

“27 people selected from the 55,000 members who spoke fluent Arabic and have received adequate training to fight beside their Lebanese brothers against the Zionist enemy.”

The spokesman however said the militants would not engage in combat but would “identify Zionist targets and then attack them with actions of martyrdom.”

Wild Thing’s comment…….
In a war zone, if some jackass is running at me hoping to explode a bullet proof vest, I’m going to shoot him in the head well before he gets there. Suicide bombers do not work as well in a war zone. And suicide bombers haven’t been too effective against jets dropping bombs.
So this is the ‘superiority’ of the Muslims?? HAHAHA
This is Muslim technology?!? HAHAHA
This is the fierce warriors of Islam?? HAHAHA
Couldn’t organize some sort of mass martyrdom for the 54,973 suicide bombers that don’t get to go Paradise, that are staying back at home in Iran?

TIKRIT, Iraq, July 20, 2006 – The Denver Broncos Cheerleaders came halfway around the globe to show that the troops mean the world to them. The cheerleaders performed for hundreds of soldiers July 18 at Contingency Operating Base Speicher here.
“I think the fact that you have red, white and blue pumping through your veins is awesome,” said Keela Harris, a Broncos cheerleader.
Another Broncos cheerleader, Kelsey Vernon, added that the troops deserve so much more, but the squad was glad to offer what they could.
The 12 ladies performed for two hours wearing different themed outfits and performing many energetic dance routines and skits for the appreciative troops.
“This is wonderful for them to come and perform for us. To let us know that people care, that’s what it’s all about,” said Colorado native Army Sgt. William Rodgers, 501st Special Troops Battalion, 101st Airborne Division.
Vernon said this is the cheerleaders’ fourth show of 10 scheduled as part of the group’s Middle East tour. They have already performed twice in Kuwait and twice in Iraq. The tour in Iraq will continue throughout July.
(Army Sgt. Waine D. Haley is assigned to the 133rd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment.)

I LOVE my Broncos! And when I saw this news……well TWO favorite teams…..US Troops all Branches of the service and the Bronco’s cheerleaders. Now how perfect is that!

House Overwhelmingly Backs Israel In Vote
WASHINGTON – The House, displaying a foreign affairs solidarity lacking on issues like Iraq, voted overwhelmingly Thursday to support Israel in its confrontation with Hezbollah guerrillas.
The resolution, which was passed on a 410-8 vote, also condemns enemies of the Jewish state.
House Republican leader John Boehner cited Israel’s “unique relationship” with the United States as a reason for his colleagues to swiftly go on record supporting Israel in the latest flare-up of violence in the Mideast.
Little of the political divisiveness in Congress on other national security issues was evident as lawmakers embraced the Bush administration’s position.
So strong was the momentum for the resolution that it was steamrolling efforts by a small group of House members who argued that Congress’s pro-Israel stance goes too far.
The nonbinding resolution is similar to one the Senate passed Tuesday. It harshly condemns Israel’s enemies and says Syria and Iran should be held accountable for providing Hezbollah with money and missile technology used to attack Israel.
“I certainly sympathize with the Lebanese people and the Lebanese government,” Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., told CBS’ “The Early Show” on Thursday. But, he said, if Hezbollah is “going to launch attacks from the Lebanese territory, then tragically the Lebanese government and people pay a price for that.”
“I’m just sick in the stomach, to put it mildly,” said Rep. Nick J. Rahall, D-W.Va., who is of Lebanese descent.
Rahall joined other Arab-American lawmakers in drafting an alternative resolution that would have omitted language holding Lebanon responsible for Hezbollah’s actions and called for restraint from all sides. Rahall said that proposal was “politely swept under the rug,” a political reality he and others say reflects the influence Israel has in Congress.
An AIPAC spokeswoman said Congress’s overwhelming support for Israel reflects the support of U.S. voters and not any pressure applied by lobbyists. “The American people overwhelming support Israel’s war on terrorism and understand that we must stand by our closest ally in this time of crisis,” said Jennifer Cannata.

Click here to see who voted YES and who voted NO and those voting “Present” which is just a very wimpy-whiny way of voting “NO” without actually committing to a “NO” vote:

The crooked filthy anti-Semite speaks again.

Kofi Annan is on TV this morning,:

Yes there he was blaming Israel for the war in Lebanon and demanding that aggressor Israel withdraw so that the brave UN troops can bring peace to Lebanon, a country that was at peace before Israel’s dastardly invasion, which has hurt thousands of civilians. Israel’s use of “excessive force” is to be condemned. The International Red Cross (which refuses to recognize the existance of Israel, by the way) must be allowed to come in and take control along side the brave Blue Helmets. And this too…… Hezbollah must be scolded for sending rockets into Israeli cities, but it should not be punished or disarmed.

Kofi Annan Emperor-of-Terrorists, Rapists, Slavers and Murderers:
I never cared when Islamic missiles murdered Israeli women and children. Who cares?
I never cared when Islamic terrorists murdered people in America, England, Spain, France or India. Who cares?
I never cared when UN personel raped little girls in Africa. Who cares?
I never cared when Islamic terrorists enslaved hundreds of thousands of children in Africa or anywhere else. Who cares?
I never cared about slavery, rape by my officers, or any form of corruption.
Why? Because without terrorism, slavery, rape and graft and my trophy wife, I am nothing.

Buchanan doesn’t even try to hide his anti-semitism any longer.
Jihad Pat makes it sound like all the widdle ayrabs did was capture 2 Israeli soldiers. But, what about the withdrawal from Gaza and land for peace? What about the missiles from Lebanon and Gaza when it rained down on civilians? What about the eight soldiers ambushed and killed by Hezbollah coming across the border as a clear act of war? Pat is flying the crescent flag outside his window!!!!
Pat did not reproach Hezbollah for the kidnappings and murder of hundreds of Americans back in the 80s. True Christians as well as Jews, understand that Hezbully Islam is Iran Incorporated.
Hey Pat, the blood is on your hands of the 9th Century knuckledraggers,not the Israelis. But then, I doubt you’re capable of understanding this.
Pat Al-Buchanan ought to defect to Iran so he can be a speech-writer for Ahmadinajad.
Pat you can burn in hell and I would light the match!
