Ahmadinejad Wishes Israel a Happy Birthday

Yeah, I know. I haven't posted in a week. The fact is I've been bored with most of the stories surrounding Israel of late. Lately, the most amusing story has been the silly catfight between pro-Israel CAMERA and and anti-Israel Electronic Intifada over Wikipedia, and that's not even entertaining enough to comment on.

But then I hit the jackpot. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, everybody's favorite cuddly psychopath, wished Israel a happy 60th birthday yestderday. Swell of him to take time out of his schedule like that. One thing about Ahmadinejad -- you know if he opens his mouth, something crazy and immensely entertaining is going to come out.

If the "Zionist Regime" (Mahmoud and those who think like him don't like to use to the "I" word) is dying, then why is Mahmoud spending so much time thinking and talking about it? It's really amazing just how obsessed Mahmoud and his ilk are with the "Zionist Regime." Think about it. He's taking time out of his day that could be spent accomplishing something constructive for the Iranians and giving a speech just to say how much he ain't a fan of Zionism. His country spent most of the first day of the Preparatory Session for the World Conference Against Racism trying to kick the Jews out. Not to mention the fact that he's spending billions of his country's wealth (that, again, could be used for more constructive things for Iranians) to build nuclear bombs just to launch at Israel, which, to my knowledge, has never done anything hostile toward Iran. I have to be honest -- I find this obsession to be a tad unhealthy. But more fun awaits:


>>"They should know that regional nations hate this fake and criminal regime and if the smallest and briefest chance is given to regional nations they will destroy it."<<

Wait, Israel's neighbors hate it? Fo shizzle? Now, "criminal" regime I can sort of understand because I guess you're saying (wrongly) that Israel violates international law. Of course, threatening to destroy a country is a pretty basic violation of Articel 2, Section 4 of the UN Charter:

"All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations."

That's not exactly complicated legalese. So yeah, Mahmoud, the next time you want to ID a criminal regime, look in the mirror. He also called Israel "fake". Fake? Israel is a real country with a real government and is a recognized member of the community of nations. Unlike, say, Palestine, which is a fake non-country with a bunch of mass-murdering terror gangs kind of pretending to be a government.

As far as chances to destroy Israel, Mahmoud is REALLY not making sense here. The Arabs have been given PLENTY of chances to destroy Israel. They just haven't succeeded. And that's why Israel is now 60 years old. Happy Nahkba Day, Mahmoud. May you and your terror gang friends celebrate many more.

You should not make me laugh like that... I'm just recovering from hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of the brain and it hurts... Stay cool, stay cool... Got knocked out and a vein was broken. Now a drilled hole in the head - so with the readers own responsibility the following:

Could you kindly comment, whether my details are correct in a dissident essay concerning the recent scaling up of production in the Israeli high Tech companies in:
http://www.helsinki.fi/~pjojala/Expelled-Jews-statistics.htm ?

However, if you are only after Jihad against Eretz Israel by the means of media war after the conventional weapons were not succesful, please do not bother. I don't want to have anything to do with any holy war - wars are not holy. No matter if they are won or lost.

E.g. "...Before the Second Intifada, there were nearly 200 Israeli companies listed in the Nasdaq, at the Intifada the count dropped to 70. (The number is still greater than from all the European countries combined). It is said that the dollars are green since the Americans pull them down from the tree raw and fresh. The start-ups are imported straight from the garage, and scaling up of production in the "conflict hotspot" has been considered impossible. But the new Millennium has brought a change in tide.

As an example, the supranational Intel transferred the mass production of Centricon-processors to Israel, where ~20% of citizens possess university decrees (ranking 3rd in the world) but where the environment respects patents and are not plagiating every item they produce to others like the rocketting China. Intel was also offered an overall tax rate of 10%, which is about three times lower than that of US.

Also, the biggest generic drug factory in the world was recently established in Israel. Generating US$7 billion in annual revenues, Israel's Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA) is the world's largest generic pharmaceutical company. That is: to cure people with less money. TEVA makes generic versions of brand-name antibiotics, heart drugs, heartburn medications, and more - in all close to 200 global generic products, 700 compounds, and more than 2800 dosage forms and formulations. TEVA's pharmaceuticals are used in some 20% of U.S. generic drug prescriptions. Examples of TEVA's generics include lower-cost equivalents of such blockbusters as anti-depressant Prozac and cholesterol drug Mevacor. Nevertheless, in biotechnology and original drug development, about 400 experimental Israeli drugs have been approved or accepted in clinical phases.

The population of Arabs under the Israeli government increased ten-fold in only 57 years. Palestinian life expectancy increased from 48 to 72 years in 1967-95. The death rate decreased by over 2/3 in 1970-90 and the Israeli medical campaigns decreased the child death rate from a level of 60 per 1000 in 1968 to 15 per 1000 in 2000 at the Westbank. (An analogous figure was 64 in Iraq, 40 in Egypt, 23 in Jordan, and 22 in Syria in 2000). During 1967-88 the amount of comprehensive schoold and second level polytechnic institutes for the Arabs was increased by 35%. During 1970-86 the proportion of Palestinian women at the West Bank and Gaza not having gone to school decreased from 67 % to 32 %. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in West Bank and Gaza increased in 1968-1991 from 165 US dollars to 1715 dollars (compare with 1630$ in Turkey, 1440$ in Tunis, 1050$ in Jordan, 800$ in Syria, 600$ in Egypt. and 400$ in Yemen)..."
