1. Countries That Play With Fire and Hatred
Noah Lev ,   LosangelesUSA   (06.29.12)
Some say, Zionism equals racism. Well, Iranian remarks truly equals Hitler's Mein Kampf and goals for the world. Doesnt anyone see what is happening? Ahmad and Hitler both said, what is needed is "A New World Order". Ahmad said it last week. Did the media report it? Iran has called for the destruction of the Zionist state (aka Jews), and its supporters (you and me in the Diaspora), Ahmad, the Rev Guard leaders, and the clerics, have all condemned Israel..for various reasons, even denying the Holocaust ever occurred, saying it is a fabrication used to create the Jewish state. ( now the Pales are angry that Putin gave any credence to Jerusalem as having a Jewish history). Hitler said, the Jews have no heaven/hell and are concerned with the now..thus have no conscience or morality. Christians do believe. Hitler said the Protocols are truthul, just examine centuries of Jewish behavior (in Germany) and around the world He said, Jews have no language or culture..but rob from others, giving back nothing. their aim to rule the world. Iran just said the same thing., while planning our destruction. (Shihabs, missile boats, nuke warheads), denying same. Hitler invaded Russia after making a non-aggression pact a few months earlier. Hitler galvanized Europeagainst the Jews,,using century old hatreds and suspicions. Iran is fomenting disparate elements against Israel, and arming them for the final Jihad. Yet, we stil are uusing diplomacy to convince Iran of the danger it is pursuing. 9m Germans died to end our people, how many Iranians will meet with the virgins awaiting them, I wonder? I ask, why wasnt this conference held in Mexico, where there is also a drug problem, Just as the Mexicans.
2. Yeah! Yeah! Sure!
Israeli 2   (06.29.12)
She called the Iranians ahead of time to let them know of her grudging announcement to the world. "Please don't take it personally."
3. Pot calling kettle
Amos T   (06.29.12)
Catherine Ashton is cunning, pro-Muslim, pro-Hamas & anti-Semetic....just read up some of her statements on the web attacking Israel and praising the Palestinians.
4. P5.1 & Ashton are back-stabbing Israel
(06.29.12)
P5.1 & Ashton are back-stabbing Israel. Moscow was supposed to be the final talks, but now it seems to be getting extended indefinitely. By the time these P5.1 scoundrels finish their "meetings, consultations, expert-level, deputy-level, confidence building measures, yada yada" and other such time-wasting tactics, mushrooms clouds will be rising over Tel Aviv and Israel. The Iranian centrifuges are spinning non-stop and nuke work is going on at breakneck speed. The Zone of Immunity has almost been reached. Its time for Israel to act, before its too late. Obama, the Europeans and Ashton can jump into the nearest sewer.
5. Nothing new.Moslem world scapegoating&antisemitism is a
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (06.29.12)
almost a daily occurence.Just look at MEMRI reports from their state controlled media. Because the P.C. EU underwrites so much in the PA,the EU finds it politically expedient to ignore their racist lies and incitement. Leftists and Islamists are a powerful pressure group in Europe
6. But Ashton is anti-Semitic, herrself!
Reuven   (06.29.12)
7. Copyright
Yochanan ,   Perth, Australia   (06.29.12)
Ashton's just upset because she feels Europe holds the current patent on anti-semitism and Iran is infringing on her copyrights.
8. The "deeply disturbed" Ashton
Devorah   (06.29.12)
Ashton was a "deeply disturbed" individual before Rahimi made that comment. Her antisemitism is no secret, so this latest comment cuts zero ice because her credibility is already shot.
9. This is what they're worried about?
Barak ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.29.12)
Iran has been forthcoming in its intentions to "wipe Israel off of the map" and is currently developing the means to do it--and the UN/EU are concerned with its accusation that we're responsible for illicit drugs. They need to get some perspective.
10. ... at a UN-sponsored conference in Iran.
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.29.12)
And then, elsewhere in the article: "The Secretary-General has on many occasions called on Iranian officials to refrain from these kinds of anti-Semitic statements." You can see the issue here.
11. If Ashton is upset, Rahimi must have been really out of line
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (06.29.12)
12. HOW TRUE
UNCLE JOE ,   CONN , USA   (06.29.12)
ashton certainly is very disturbed indeed. END.
13. I don't get it
Baruch ,   Houston/Israel   (06.29.12)
Is this someting new--Iran hates Jews? We have a nation to build, in part we build this nation because for four thousand years chametz like Iran hate us. Building a nation is new, hating us--what's new here? Even NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro is openly Anti Semitic, we let her live here with us. So Persians who can't feed their people hate us. Can't feed their people has been one of the main excuses for hating Jews for meillenia. Let's get on with it.
14. Well Well Well? So Why Now Have You Changed?
(06.29.12)
ms ashton I Guess As The Old Saying Goes BETTER LATE THAN NEVER? So Now The West And Europe See's The TRUE FACE OF the ILLEGAL regime in tehran FOR WHO THEY really are? The LARGEST sponsor of TERRORISM, COMPLETE HABITUAL LIER's!!!!!!!!!!!! And A Very Sick, Demented and Twisted Dispicable group!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Is What Meir Dagan was speaking about rational? Their Preception of They see is true is Obsured By Hatred and Self Made Myth's? THEY Really Think They DESERVE The Responsiblity To Have WMD At A Hand Reach Away? This ILLEGAL vp rahami Stated the persian territory has NO ADDICTS? But yet just Yesterday They Stated their so-called justice system WILL MURDER TWO MEN LABELED alcoholic's? In medical terms is this in the psychiatric/mental disease ICD9 Book as a DISEASE? Why treat Iranians who drink When Their Government Wants Them Dead? Could This Be Seen as Civilized? Could This Be Seen As Religious Tenet? May Ha Shem Protect Any Iranians Who Disagree With These MONSTER's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ברוך הא שם
15. EU's High Rep for Foreign affairs (finally) deeply distrubed
Israeli2 ,   Israel   (06.29.12)
and why isn't she also "shocked and appalled"? or is she (still) reserving that for a more dramatic moment?
16. Pablo Escobar-Goldberg?
Gil ,   Los Angeles, USA   (06.29.12)
These Iranians almost seem proud of their stupidity.
17. Iranians are BETTER than Ashton
Jerome   (06.29.12)
Iranians are BETTER than Ashton, at least the stab you directly in the front. Unlike Ashton who stabs you in the back.
18. What a lark !
Dan Goldman   (06.29.12)
What a lark - Anti-Semite vs Anti-Semite ! Ashton is confident that she can fool everyone all the time.
19. Catherine Ashton condemns Anti Semitism ?
Iranian Hunter   (06.29.12)
Now i know 2012 will be the end year. But WAIT !!! This is Catherine Ashton we are talking about. Chances are, it's only a soap opera, she will keeps smiling to the Iranian president, mullahs, VP etc etc. Because SHE LOVES IT, SHE LOVES IT when people are talking blunt about those pesky evil jews err i mean zionist.
20. here we go AGAIN
wiz of iz ,   montreal canada   (06.29.12)
an example off yet another lackey towing the party line in Iran.Under the veil of lies and distortions, once again Israel and or the Zionists are the perpetrators of all the drugs in the world through not only the drug trade but also the mind control that they "Svengali" everyone who use drugs. The ridiculous enters the realm of the absurd, only to reveal themselves in the land of Iran and her leadership. I accuse Iran of being a major player in the drug trade.
21. Amos @ 3
macktheknife   (06.29.12)
Katie Ashton is terrified of the arabs because they are well planned in their take-over of British soil. Her job is at stake. I often wonder what is going to happen to buckingham Palace when it gets that far. Katie Ashto n is so anti-Semitic herself..... she can't possibly have a good word for Israel. The clown is head over heels in love with the arab world. Let her have them all!
22. Ashton should have said Iranian leaders are crazy, dangerous
Jouko ,   Finland   (06.29.12)
23. Ashton and EU are all words
PaulZion ,   Israel   (06.29.12)
Now DO something about it - make all Iranian officials personae non grata in all EU countries. That would be doing something - removing the facade of their international diplomatic acceptability.
24. Ashton - the face Upset
Moragh   (06.29.12)
by Rahimi remarks. That's hard to believe considering the fact Ashton herself despises the Jewish people. Well I say, HAIL ISRAEL - God's Chosen!
25. Just a Question
Moragh   (06.29.12)
Does GB have anybody in "power" who have at the least half a brain. I'm looking for a well paid job in GB, in the "political" branch of course. I wonder if they would consider me?
26. Jews & international drugtrade
tiki ,   belgium   (06.29.12)
This makes the Baroness, speaking on behalf of the EU, "very disturbed. Blowing Israel of the face of the earth, comments made daily by this same regime...is "less disturbing! EU officials, sitting in some Teheran drug-conference and legalizing this Regime of Death makes ME "very disturbed, for it exposes the real face of the EU hypocrites.
27. Y'all don't get it - Zionists aren't Jews
Michal ,   Tel Aviv   (06.29.12)
Iranians don't hate Jews, they say the Zionists are using the Talmud to do whatever they accuse them of. Wish it were true that Zionists aren't addicts. In Tel-Aviv there are plenty of addicts who would probably be defined by Iran as Zionists/Jews or whatever semantic spew is coming out of Tehran.
28. What is all the fuss about?
Marco ,   Spain   (06.29.12)
Prove him wrong if he really is wrong... And who is responsible for the illegal trade in human organs? Is it not Jews?
29. A prayer for Iran
Peter Brown ,   North Hollywood , Ca   (06.29.12)
May your children and the children of your children be damned for eternity in sickness and misery. May your country (Iran) be invaded by a Superpower nation and make you iranians "slaves" forever up to the time your nation disappears naturally. Israel is real (it's a fact) , Israel will triumph always as it is a "Light into the Nations" and will always shine by G-d's will.
30. Thanks, Your Ladyship, now crawl back under your rock.
Scott ,   USA   (06.29.12)
So the queen of double-standards decides that she doesn't like anti-Semitism. Let's all have a good laugh -- and throw up. To those who like to throw up, try to imagine what as child of Lady Ashton and Bashar Assad would look like. Actually, they appear to be twins, somehow separated at birth.
