More anti-Semitic rambling from another Iranian nutjob

[Marswolf]

To really get off topic, how about this story....

Hashemi Rafsanjani, former Iranian president and current Chairman of the Assembly of Experts, said Friday that Hitler’s treatment of Jewish people in Europe was due in part to their being “a pain in the neck.”

Rafsanjani’s comments came during a sermon for "International Jerusalem Day" on Iranian TV.

Rafsanjani noted that Jews caused problems for European governments because they “had a lot of property” and “controlled an empire of propaganda.” He also said that the Nazis were successful in saving Europe from the evil of Zionism.

The former Iranian leader served as president from 1989 to 1997, and was succeeded by Mohammad Khatami. Rafsanjani ran for a third term in office in 2005, but lost to current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

And as for your off-topic comments about Rafsanjani, what was the purpose of that?

Oh I don't know. I just couldn't figure out a reason to make a separate topic about it and though you might enjoy it.

Why would I enjoy hearing anti-Semitic propaganda? Do you think there's a shortage of it in the world?

Eh... I guess conversation about yet another Iranian nutjob isn't completely void of value. I'm going to split those comments away from the original thread and create this new thread instead.

If people want to talk about it, they can do that here.

Well, I think it's useful for us to understand the nutjobs of the world.

You have a large nation with leadership that denies the Holocaust and thinks Jews did and do deserve to be slaughtered because, according to them, they are a pain in the ass. Of course they feel the same way about Christians and anyone who disagrees with their religious views.

I think Iranian nutjobs are the pain in the ass...that should be wiped out....but that is coming from an Italian catholic/christian...

When it comes to dealing with the Iranian nutjobs ... er, ah .... leadership, I say it's time for a little diplomacy- about 655 grains worth.

...but that is coming from an Irish catholic/christian...
