The world view of Ahmadinejad?

Question

Did you see his speech? Doesn't it seem like one could basically summarize his views, as follows?: 9/11, the American invasion of Iraq, the problems faced by the muslim world, basically all of the world's woes, are the fault of Israel and/or the Jews. I guess with his "blame the Jews" strategy, the man has allied himself with Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and various other anti-semitic groups. And this is a man who's a self-professed "academic."

To vondee33: I'm not sure I would call those people "anti-semites" but I know what you're saying. Apparently some evangelicals believe that all Jews must return to Israel (willingly I hope) before the second coming can occur.

I think there's a great deal of truth in what you stated in your second paragraph. We need someone to hate, and the press needs someone "evil" to report about.

Vondee: I looked at some of your other answers out of interest. Since you don't accept e-mail, I thought I would comment here on your answer about the best president, which is a great answer, because you might very well be the only one in the world who says it's Andrew Johnson (perhaps tongue in cheek?). But that was a heck of a deal for Alaska, although I would have to place more value on Washington's resistance to power. In any event, don't you think there are "just wars?" For instance, I always thought that the U.S. was at fault for not entering WWII at least a year sooner. More contemporarily, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, I thought it was appropriate for us to get involved. Even in an internal struggle, I think one can justify war to prevent mass murder. I wasn't opposed to temporarily invading Iraq for the limited purpose of WMD verification, it's our futile attempt at "nation building," that I think is the disaster.

Answer 1

Funny thing. A lot of anti-semites support Israel. Look at those wacky evangelical Christians. Pastor Hagee, Billy Graham, the late Jerry Falwell who said: ``everyone should know a Jew. They make more money in 5 minutes than you can make in a lifetime.´´

This whole bruhaha over A-jad has more to do with needing a new bogeyman, especially given that Saddam is dead and that Iraq has exploded in Americas face.

Addendum for Stephen: do not underestimate the virulent dislike that these people have for Jews. Billy Graham talked endlessly with Richard Nixon on how Jews control everything. Pastor Hagee in his claptrap book Jerusalem Rising (or whatever its called) essentially blames Jews for Jewish suffering throughout history. Pat Robertson believes the anti-Christ is alive today and is a Jew. This is anti-semitism on stilts. They try to convert them through subtrefuge and for them, Jews are a mere set piece in their gruesome endtimes theory.
