Bibi’s PEACE vs. Ahmadinejad’s WAR
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009A Tale of Two Commando’s
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…
Deep within the heart of Israel, at Bar Ilan University’s center, named for peace icons–Begin and Sadat, Prime Minister
Bibi Calls for "Peace"
Bibi Netanyahu delivered a landmark speech, calling for “peace” and a demilitarized Palestinian state. These are the best of times.
That’s right, you heard me–and from the Likud. What did Bibi say?
Bibi: “I say to the Palestinians: We want to live with you in peace, quiet, and good neighborly relations. We want our children and your children to ‘know war no more’…I call upon Arab leaders and Palestinian leaders: Let’s go in the path of Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat, Yitzhak Rabin and King Hussein…Let us know war no more. Let us know peace.”
Meanwhile in Tehran…
Iranian Protestors Beaten in Uprisings
Blood, chaos, and terror in the streets in response to the alleged Ahmadinejad, Khameni coup. Iranian Revolutionary Guards and suspected Ahmadinejad plain clothes, rent-a-mob beat protestors–the elderly, children, women, men–with clubs, metal batons, and baseball bats, and a man was shot in the skull. Seven total have been killed that we know of. Foreign news media banned from covering rallies. These are the worst of times.
Our resident Madame Defarge [Ahmadinejad]–what did you say about your fellow man’s uprising?
Ahmadinejad: “Each and every Iranian is a nation in itself, a pillar on their own, and
Ahmadinejad's Bellicose
they stand in the face of all enemies and resist them.” (TV headlines beneath him, “World Needs New System, Current System Rotten”).
Protestors are a “few weeds that are making problems.” They are “soccer hooligans disappointed that their team lost the match…The society must be purified of these people.”
He explained that such a “purge” would not happen overnight. “They will try to stop me,” he said, “but I will expose them to the great nation of Iran.”
As Ahmadinejad conspires against “Iran’s enemies”–nations, his own people, like Madame Defarge–is he knitting secret encodes of the people he will have silenced, perhaps killed? Will his yarn measure a man’s life, that he’ll cut, and end?
And that’s on a good day.
Bibi Netanyahu vs. Ahmadinejad–both military minded men, yet vastly different in every sense of the word.
Iran and Israel–two leaders face off. Bibi–for peace, Ahmadinejad–for war.
My bet’s on Bibi…on Israel always.
