The weapons will be given to people whose politics encompass hatred for Jews, Christians, the West generally, and Women.

The media outlets hailing the election of Hassan Rohani, the “moderate,” are the same outlets that consider the Tea Parties in America to be “radical.”

Rohani’s election positions the regime to cater – superficially – to reform-minded voters in Iran, while improving Iran’s prospects in international negotiations.

The top Israeli advocate for letting the terrorists out of jail is none other than Shimon Peres.

The “Community Democracy” model meets all the criteria of the liberal democratic outlook, but it is based on the Jewish heritage and the Torah.
