Iran is on record for wanting to wipe out the regime, not the country. We have established this as fact. Also, that was a past government, so has little relevance to today.

Precisely. However, that doesn't matter one whit to the Israel Firsters who seemingly have an insatiable desire to demonize Islam and Iran in particular. One of their favorite tactics is to post videos and quotes of Iranian leaders even though they themselves don't speak a lick of Farsi. They do, however, provide "translations" done by idfblog.com and the like. Then these posters repeat these mistranslated quotes ad nauseum in the hopes that it will become accepted as fact.

And then they wonder why they have no credibility.

Sp, lets get this straight. The numerous quotes of the Supreme Leader of Iran about Israel are all fake, unless Israel-haters certify them as genuine.

Can someone tell me why Boehner is not in jail?

"The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 30 January 1799, currently codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953) is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years."

Can someone tell me what negotiations were conducted and what agreements were reached between Boehner and any foreign government?

Iran is not on record for 'wanting to destroy Israel', that is a lie, it is propaganda and innocent people die as a result of it.

Actually Iran IS on record for wanting to destroy Israel and not just for one statement by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It has been said many times by many Iranian leaders. YOU are the one promoting lies.

What is truly disturbing is that you quote/link two sites with articles written by the same man - a retired IDF Lt Col and actually believe you have found a credible neutral source of opinion and information. This is WHY we are in such a mess, because people refuse to wake up and smell the coffee. The internet has liberated us in that if we choose to search for neutral sources of info, they are all there to be found, and will display the web of deceit and lies that are manufactured to keep the population frightened and repressed.

The author you quote makes an interesting statement in the linked article:

Incitement to Genocide

The 1948 Genocide Convention lists incitement to commit genocide as a war crime. Much of the Iranian language regarding Israel can certainly be legally defined this way.

A common motif of incitement to genocide is the dehumanization of the target population. The Nazi weekly Der Stürmer portrayed Jews as parasites and locusts. In the early 1990s in Rwanda, Hutu propaganda described the Tutsis as “cockroaches.” Before Saddam Hussein’s operations against the Iraqi Shia population in 1991, his Baath Party newspaper characterized them as “monkey-faced people.”

Similarly, former President Ahmadinejad has called Israeli Jews “cattle,” “blood-thirsty barbarians,” and “criminals,”

Now if we apply the same standard to the Palestinian situation that the author is applying to Iran then of course Netanyahu and Israel is guilty of Incitement to genocide and war crimes, there is no doubt at all. Palestinians described as 'dogs', snakes and the population dehumanized. You can't have it all ways can you? Ayelet Shaked, the Israeli politician who used to work as Director of Netanyahu's office said "Israel should declare war on the "entire [Palestinian] people, including its elderly and its women, its cities and its villages, its property and its infrastructure", she called for the killing of all Palestinian Mothers.Now if that is not incitement to Genocide what is? With lines like that around and the physical situation on the ground is it any wonder that an Iranian President will call 'jews blood-thirsty barbarians?

We are once again being persuaded of the validity of a war on a sovereign nation by being fed a pack of propaganda and lies and despite thinking we might learn from Bush/Blair and Iraq everyone is being suckered yet again.

Now Iran do not come out of this smelling of roses at all, but it is time Israel stopped playing the victim, because they are not. They have used the last 100 years of history to great advantage and have now 'grown up' as the new school bully, and a very formidable one at that, face facts they have just bullied the United States and got away with it, so the sky's the limit!

What is truly disturbing is that you quote/link two sites with articles written by the same man - a retired IDF Lt Col

I linked to numerous web sites ALL SAYING THE SAME THING and you have produced no evidence what-so-ever that the quotes are incorrect. Most normal people realize that someone that used to be in the IDF can type famous quotes as well as the next person, but there are plenty credible sources that he has nothing to do with.

Numerous law school deans have stated Boehner has acted against provisions of the Constitution that provide that the president is in charge of

The case can indeed be made.

Here very specifically is what the Logan Act says......

Private correspondence with foreign governments.

commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof,

with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation

Back to reality, as of March 2nd the IAEA stated they are still not receiving satisfactory answers from Iran. Meanwhile that buffoon Kerry jets off to Riyadh trying to sell their capitulation to Iran as a good thing. Riyadh has long stopped listening and has arranged to take delivery of nuclear technology from Pakistan and ICBM's from China.

So I suppose he won't be grabbing his ankles in a prison shower any time soon.

You, Netanyahu and the IDF blogger are fabricating mistranslations to suit an aggressive Zionist agenda.

Perhaps you will believe the Israeli Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy, Dan Meridor

Meridor: Iran never called to wipe out Israel

Speaking to Al Jazeera, deputy PM admits Ahmadinejad was misquoted, never said Israel must be wiped off the map.

Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy Dan Meridor told Al Jazeera that Iran never vowed to "wipe Israel off the map," as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed.

And Iranian leaders aren't the only ones calling for regime change in Israel

Now that IS worth worrying about! (excuse the pun) ISIS will not take Iran, but they have a growing movement within the young of Saudi. 16 Saudi's out of 19 executed the plan on 9/11 I don't recall any Iranians participating. Saudi with nukes is very worrying (Pakistan is bad enough), the House of Saud is vulnerable and may not last that long. What then?

So you can't answer my question? The only interesting comment you made is to suggest the Ayatollahs in Iran might have watched the speech. That's an interesting assessment since our President, Vice President, Secretary of State and some 50 Democratic party members of Congress were not concerned enough about it to watch it.

And one of those Democrats who did attend (Pelosi) cried her little eyes out. What a farce the Democrats have turned into.

Now on to your ridiculous assertion about the Logan act...

If you can somehow get the FBI to investigate Speaker Boehner to insure nothing of substance was negotiated between him and Netanyahu, please let us all know.

In the meantime, the speech is over and done. Your constitutional outrage is now outdated and immaterial.

Spin away and remember to get the last word in.

Agreed, but to stop the current Saudi regime from pursuing nuclear weapons there had to be a large degree of confidence that Iran would never get them. Look at it from a Saudi perspective, they are now bordered by Iraq and Yemen, which are looking like two Iranian satellite states. They know their own regime is unstable and an uprising in the South where their Shia minority live aided and abetted by Yemen could topple their regime with Sunnis flocking to join ISIS to fight the Shia.

P.s A few days ago yet another U.S trained group of Syrian moderates joined ISIS. The suppression of an expansionist Iran and maintenance of regimes suppressing Sunni militants was the optimum strategy for keeping the Middle East relatively quiet. The Obama administration has done the exact opposite.

The Obama administration was not in power when an Islamic State was declared in Iraq in 2006.

And China and Russia prevented the US getting involved in Syria, which has proved to be a breeding ground for IS Sunni extremism thanks to Assad's genocide.

So I think you are apportioning blame to the wrong parties.

As for the moderates joining ISIS, can you post a link?

Israel has hundreds of undeclared, illegal nuclear weapons.

Speaking of false information, Israel's nuclear weapons are NOT illegal. Calling lies "facts" does not change the fact that they are not true.

Do Israel claim their nuclear weapons are legal? Did they steal the technology? Were parts not illegally smuggled into Israel? Have they signed the NPT, as Iran and all responsible countries have ? Under International Law, the highest of all laws, they are illegal.

Yeah...but once you have em...the issue of legality goes out the window like a fart in a typhoon doesn't it.

Israel also doesn't care about legalities as long as what they do can somehow be misconstrued as defending

the state.

Again. Israel's nuclear weapons are NOT illegal and they are under no obligation to sign the NPT as their weapons predate it. You are making things up.

No sniffiness here.

Can you point out the bit where it says even words to the effect that "yet another U.S trained group of Syrian moderates joined ISIS. "?

The irony is thick..........

Here we have a country who wants to bomb another unprovoked over something they may or may not have said

Yet here they are themselves saying they want to attack a country that has done them no harm.

Words interpreted rightly or wrongly are words not acts of war. Actions/Attacks/Aggressions that are carried out against a country that has not attacked anyone directly are unprovoked acts of war.

If Israel wants to commit such an act against Iran let them stand alone then hold them accountable.

This Netanyahu is a monster size tosser, on one side of his mouth he is ranting about the bad deal the USA

is making with Iran regarding nukes, while the other side if his mouth he is asking for a few extra hundred million in

hand outs form this same administration
