The deflection scheme employed by Aipac and its fellow travellers, to distract American public awareness of Israeli repression of the Palestinians by frightening those same Americans with false claims about Ahmadinejad, have been all too effective as you clearly see. Many reasonably well-informed Americans (by US standards) think Ahamdinejad wants to annihilate Israel by nuclear weapons in a first strike attack. Astonishing rubbish is swallowed wholesale.

I for one, admire the way they publicly condemned the criminal leaders of Israel for slaughtering innocent and defenseless Palestinian women and children in Gaza.

As you know, the Israel lobby and its corrupt media have brainwashed the American people into believing that:

The victims (the Palestinians) are guilty of the war crimes but the perpetrators of the crimes (Israelis) are heroes.

AIPAC is also the mastermind and the architect of demonization of Ahmadinejad in the international public arena.

They have used all sort of lies and propaganda such as “Election fraud”, “Nuclear Weapon”, “Israel must be wiped off the map “and “Holocaust” to achieve their objective.

Israel is ‘main threat to Middle East peace’: Turkish PM

Great post! Obama should read it. Claudia Rosett, revealed as a stooge of the war lobby, lying about Turkey’s attitude toward Iran.

On Forbes dot com, reporter Claudia Rosett wrote that she and President Abdullah Gul of Turkey “sipped tea” and had a “disturbing talk” that it resided next to “one of the world’s roughest neighbors,” Iran.

For his part, President Gul published a press release stating:

“Following today’s reports by some press organizations that Mr President gave an interview to the Forbes Magazine, the announcement below was deemed necessary: ‘Neither today nor in the past has Mr President ever given any interview to the Forbes Magazine. We respectfully inform the public.’ ”

Moral of the story: don’t believe everything you read in the MSM, on line, in blogs, anywhere. Check the sources, cross-check information, evaluate the prior acts and credibility of parties presenting the information.

Rosett is presently Journalist-in-Residence for Foundation for Defense of Democracies, the current project of ideologues formerly associated with neoconservative think tanks and publications, such as Michael Ledeen, Marc Gerecht, James Woolsey ,,, the usual suspects.

If we all make sure to at least gave it coverage on this forum, it will be good start, and I hope that the Levretts will make it a topic.
Looks like our discussions here are getting enough attention that they feel to send in the infantry
Next, you may see that, they may even have to send in the likes of Michel Rubin (I wonder what happened to his daily report of Iran events?)
to change some minds, but that would be a good exchange.Look forward for it.

Yes, Iran is hosting a conference on the topic of eliminating nuclear weapons, and especially in the Middle East. And how much attention will this get in US news media?
Will Brian Williams be on top of the story? Fat chance?

The conference- dubbed :

Nuclear Energy For All, Nuclear Weapons For No One,

is scheduled to take place days after a U.S.-hosted summit on nuclear security

Turkey has been outspoken in its support of Iran’s civilian nuclear power program. Even the US seems to concede Iran has this right under the NPT. China, Brazil, Russia all openly support the civilian nuclear program of Iran.
I’m glad you challenged several of the points raised in the article.
