Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has gone into wholehearted ZOG mode. (That’s Zionist Occupation Government, a favorite term of the world’s Jew-haters used on all of the Stormfront-style message boards).

The setting: A Swedish artist drew a cartoon of a dog with Mohammed’s head. Muslims are predictably upset, particularly because the Swedish press refuses to kowtow to Muslim demands to apologize and never insult Mohammed again. The Swedish government isn’t, either.

Tell me if you can see the difference between these ravings, and the ravings of lunatic Jew-haters like David Duke:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday launched a new verbal attack against Israel, accusing Zionists of sowing conflict, publishing offensive cartoons and “lying about being Jewish.”

“Zionists are people without any religion,” Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly predicted that Israel is doomed to disappear, told a news conference in Tehran.

“They are lying about being Jewish because religion means brotherhood, friendship and respecting other divine religions,” he said.

He also said that “Zionists” were behind a cartoon in a Swedish newspaper depicting the head of the Prophet Mohammed on a dog’s body that sparked an official protest by Tehran to Stockholm.

“They do not want the Swedish government to be a friend of other nations. I strongly believe they are behind it (the cartoon). They thrive on conflict and war.

“They are an organised minority who have infiltrated the world. They are not even a 10,000-strong organisation,” he said.

Yep. He’s definitely gone over the edge into Zionist Conspiracy Land. And here I thought he was just your everyday, average Muslim Jew-hater. And that’s not all of it. He’s practically taking lines right out of the Protocols:

“Anywhere they are found there is war. Anywhere where there is war they are behind it,” Ahmadinejad added.

Echoing his previous predictions about Israel’s future, the president said: “If the world is calm, people, Europeans, Germans even, will uproot them.”

Really, it reads like something that Hitler said in the 1930s. Truly, Ahmadinejad is one of the world’s worst bigots, and yet, people continue to insist that he’s not anti-Semitic, just anti-Zionist—ever after reading drek like this.

This is so far over the edge, the mainstream media won’t touch it. Watch. The Telegraph elided nearly all of the rant, and published only this:

Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has blamed “Zionists” for the images but said he would not hold the Swedish people responsible.

To boil down an entire, hate-filled, paranoid rant like I’ve reproduced above into one line about blaming “Zionists” is the height of not informing your readers. The Telegraph editors should be ashamed. But then, at least they’ve published something. I can’t find word of this story spreading on more than a handful of obscure news sites.

Say, remember that worldwide media blitz about how Israeli archeologists were going to destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque by building a new ramp to the Temple Mount? Remember the incredibly biased stories that insisted on minimizing the Temple Mount’s meaning to Jews and maximizing the Muslim connection? Remember how there were stage-managed riots about the Temple Mount ramp?

Well, the AP has finally noticed that Jews are outraged that the Islamic Waqf, who frankly should not be in control of a toy model of the Temple Mount, is now digging a 500-yard trench in the Temple Mount complex, destroying precious artifacts, and once again trying to “prove” there are no Jewish ties to the Temple Mount complex. And the AP is aiding and abetting, by adding even more bias to their piece. The lede:

Israeli archaeologists on Wednesday criticized the extension of an underground cable at Jerusalem’s holiest site for Muslims and Jews, saying that digging the trench defies professional standards for such a sensitive historic site and could damage Bible-era relics.

Islamic authorities responsible for the Al Aqsa Mosque complex, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, said the digging is necessary infrastructure work at the site to replace 40-year-old electrical cables ahead of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

The site is at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the gold-capped Dome of the Rock, Islam’s third-holiest shrine. It is also the holiest site in Judaism: Archaeological finds show that the remains of the temples are beneath the mosque compound, although Muslim clerics dispute that.

Note the emphasis: Islam first, Judaism last, in every paragraph. And now, the AP is adding a disclaimer to factual evidence. Archeologists have found unassailable proof that the Temple Mount is, indeed, the Temple Mount. Muslim clerics deny these facts. So naturally, the AP equates the denial and lies of religious leaders, whose goal is to eliminate all traces of Judaism from the site of the Jewish Temples, with archeological proof that the clerics are lying. Yes, absolutely, in the lede of your article, give equal weight to actual proof and the rantings of Muslims in denial of facts. That is what’s known as “objectivity.” Sure. Uh-huh.

And then, quote the Waqf officials without context, such as the fact that when the Waqf excavated Solomon’s Stables, they dumped tons of precious artifacts into a garbage dump, where Israeli archeologists have found relics and artifacts from the Temple eras.

Yusuf Natsheh, an antiquities official in the Waqf, the Muslim authority responsible for the site, said the criticism by the Israeli group was “politically motivated,” and the area would not be damaged by the tractor.

“We don’t hide anything,” he said, adding that anyone can see what the digging has unearthed. “These are all assumptions with no evidence, and lack scientific considerations.”

That’s a lie. The Waqf does not operate in the open, not when Israel doesn’t require archeological oversight of their actions.

I cannot understand why Israel continues to let these people do this. This is an ongoing attempt to remove all traces of Judaism from the site, so that they can continue with the lie that Jerusalem has no Jewish roots. Every time I read that another Arab spokesliar says that Jews are trying to “Judaize” Jerusalem, my jaw simply drops to the floor.

And last, but not least, we have this bland reference to last winter’s Temple Mount ramp controversy (which building was stopped due to the controversy):

Archaeological digs earlier this year by Israeli authorities next to the holy site sparked protests by Muslims. The Israelis said they were excavating outside the mosque site before improving an entry ramp.

Yes, because that’s exactly what they were doing. Making sure that they didn’t destroy any precious artifacts. Unlike the Waqf, whose sole purpose appears to be to destroy any and all evidence of Jewish artifacts in the Mount.

I can’t stand writing these stories any more. I just can’t. Because I am simply stunned that Israel allows this desecration on a regular basis, and kowtows to Muslims on all issues. Olmert is even talking about giving up control of the Temple Mount, or at least, sharing it with Christians and Muslims.

Stopping now. Reaching dangerous blood pressure zone.

Let’s say you’re the manager of a Wal-Mart, or a Safeway, or a grocery store. Let’s say that you get a phone call saying that you are being watched. The caller says he has a gun. Or a bomb. He demands that you wire $3,000 to an overseas bank account. What do you do?

In some of 15 stores across the nation last week, idiots wired thousands of dollars to the thief or gang of thieves. In fact, one of them almost got a group of store employees to cut off the fingers of the manager who called bullshit on the thief’s demands.

In Buchanan, Mich., on Monday, the caller directed employees of a Harding’s market to lock the front doors, move to the front and told them not to call police, said Berrien County Sheriff Paul Bailey. The man claimed he could see some workers standing up, and ordered them to sit down.

“He’s just ad-libbing,” Bailey said. “He can’t see anything.”

Nonetheless, Bailey said, the employees were so afraid they wired the caller $3,000. The manager even hung up the phone when authorities called, saying a bomb would go off if he talked to them.

Bailey said that in a phone call with police, the man even offered to trade a “hostage” for a police officer to make his threat more believable.

The caller has not gotten every store he’s called to give up money, but the FBI on Wednesday did not provide the total amount taken.

People are unbelievably stupid. The easiest damned test in the world, since the thief/thieves insisted they were watching, would have been, “What color is my hair? Am I wearing glasses? How many women are standing in this group?”

This is why people like John Edward, the fraud who says he talks to the dead, become millionaires. Because people are stupid. They don’t think. We are not taught critical thinking skills in our schools. We are taught to memorize and regurgitate facts. We are taught groupthink. We are taught not to rock the boat. In fact, in most schools, when you do challenge the groupthink or the status quo, you are penalized for it. Thinking outside the box is not a skill that is admired in our society, no matter how many people pretend it is.

One store manager with some modicum of critical thinking skills almost lost his fingers due to the extreme stupidity of his employees.

At one store Tuesday, the caller ordered customers and employees to disrobe. Employee Marilyn Case told The Hutchinson News that store manager Mike Piros argued with the caller, but they relented when he continued to make threats and instructed them to “do it now.”

He then demanded that one of Piros’ fingers be cut off for every hour his demands were not met, and another employee got a butcher knife on his orders, Case said. Jim Peterson, a customer, told the newspaper that people became distraught.

“People came undone and started saying, ‘No, no,’” he said.

Piros was not harmed. Police there initially said they were investigating whether the caller had hacked into the surveillance system, but later backed away from that possibility.

Gee. Imagine that. The police think maybe this is all one giant hoax.

Ya think?
