The Late Ayatollah Khomeini did say that The United States of America is The Great Satan:

Back then, even much of the Muslim world (Shia, Sunni, etc.) thought the rhetoric was overblown.

However, through its Actions today, as well as the Actions of its Crusader Colony of 'Israel' & its various EU Vassals, whereby Crimes of Genocide & Ethnic Cleansing are being justified in Broad Daylight to the world by the so called 'Free Press'... via the dehumanizing of Muslims & others:

It Appears that the Late Ayatollah was not incorrect, but merely 'Ahead of the Curve!'

ABSOPHUCKINGLUTELY!

Ayatollah Khomeini was/is dead on accurate.

What is the evidence?

251 usa illegal military incursions JUST SINCE 1991!!

Since 1798, 469!!! Who says so? The usa congressional record!!!

I venture that the TOTALITY of the rest of the world doesn't come close to these numbers, CERTAINLY not the NUMBER since 1991.

I've heard the stat that the US 'Global War on Terror' since 20001 has killed 5.5 million and displaced upwards of 30 million. The US has literally done a genocide comparable to the Nazi genocide of Jews, and we're all walking around like it's normal.

And looks like we're ramping up to start another escalation in the bomb dropping.

The usa has done MANY genocides/Holocausts comparable to the G Holocaust and you hit the NAIL ON THE HEAD - "we're all walking around like it's normal".

IT IS NORMAL for the usa in how often it happens, not your other meaning of 'normal'.

The G Holocaust numbers have been reduced [early 1990s] to a number that varies but was dropped by Auschwitz by close to three million. I have provided links to the various articles - NYT, Chicago Tribune, Holocaust scholars, ... all agreeing the 6 million figure has always been false.

Agreed. I omit the Asian anti-Communist genocide the US engaged in between the 1950's and 1970's. Body count around 10 million between Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia. Multiple times the tonnage of bombs dropped during WW2. We set up concentration camps in Vietnam. Used massive amounts of chemical weapons.

There was a great guy who talked about the 6 million number being used by zionist in many newspapers far before ww2 claiming of holocaust and genocide of jews... he had the actual newspapers in a pile from the 20's on all saying the same figure ...they got so used to using that propaganda that they simply applied it to germany.. not saying attorcity not committed (by all sides) but i have grave doubts about all of it now ... history is written by the victors to excuse themselves of any crimes..

I heard the "displaced upwards of 30 million" is closer to 100 million. Consider the number of affected relatives per death whose lives have been wrecked.

ALL BECAUSE of usa lies about 9/11. OBL died in December 2001, which is why GWB said in March 2002 that he wasn't at all concerned about OBL anymore.

Earth to gullible folks, OBL had NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11.

So what about Uncle Tom obama's, was it a 2012 "seal raid on OBL's compound" which OBVIOUSLY never happened. See how the usa can lie and get away with such bold, totally false totally transparent lies.

Yes Terry, OBL was living, until he died in real time or in US make believe time thanks to Hemodialysis.

The great charade, ....yet another being the dumping his body at sea after a US Navy Seals raid in Pakistan, all witnessed by a theatrically inspired group pf Obama and friends in the White House.

The NY Times has become an anopheles mosquito on the psyche of the news hungry public, injecting malarial parasites like Thomas Friedman into the culture-at-large to sicken it by stealing the oxygen supply from the red blood cells of its genuine journalists, who go by names like Johnstone, Greenwald, Blumenthal, Maté, and others. But who languish in relative nutritive deficiency while the parasite and its delivery system bask in the excesses conferred on them by an overwhelmingly infected public that can no longer think clearly in the face of the diminished oxygen supply to its social brain.

What REALLY is soooooooo puzzling is that "israeli" zionists are such incredible hypocrites. After having suffered the Nazi holocaust, they IMMEDIATELY proceed to doing the Palestine Holocaust. Actually, truth be told, the zionists started planning the Palestine Holocaust some 40 years before WWII, carried it out in earnest, beginning with the Nakba around 1946, been doing the Palestine Holocaust CONTINUOUSLY ever since, right up to today!!!

How is that for STUNNING HYPOCRISY!!

AND, and for hypocrisy, how do these same zionist folks NEVER mention their Haavara Agreement beginning soon after Hitler was elected and lasting sometime after ...

Fake Valor: Why Did Zionist Jews Hoist Nazis Flag on Their Ships in the 1930s?

The Haavara (Transfer) Agreement was a financial instrument that was negotiated between David Ben-Gurion & Hitler a few months after the Nazis rose to power in early 1933, and it continued non-stop (even after Nuremberg Laws & Kristallnacht pogrom) until December 1941 and was designed to:

Yes, I see your point. But the zionists are not doing what was done to them. The Holocaust (the Shoa) wasn't done TO the zionists. The zionists helped the Nazis kill European non-zionist Jews. They helped the Nazi's, made deals with the Nazis. They sold out their fellows. They didn't want the religious Jews in the new country of Israel.

DB: The Holocaust (the Shoa) wasn't done TO the zionists.

=====

No, the Shoah wasn't done to because the zionists were partners with the Nazis in Haavara/The Transfer. They were countering the almost world wide/at least very large economic boycott of Nazi Germany.

My point is how the zionists use the Jewish people, and what has been done to them for their own rank propaganda purposes.

Which really made no sense at all. It is like what the usa is doing right now to Russia & China, usa gangster State Terrorism to end Gangster Nation usa.

Seen and heard from different sources over the years. I remember reading a book by Lenni Brenner a long time ago. This is from Brenner's Wikipedia page; "Lenni Brenner (born 1937), formerly known as Leonard Glaser or Lenny Glaser,[a] is an American Trotskyist writer. In the 1960s, Brenner was a prominent civil rights movement activist and vocal opponent of the Vietnam War. Since the 1980s, his activism has focused on anti-Zionism. He has published widely on the history of Zionism, in particular asserting that the movement collaborated with the Nazis." I think the Book I read was called, "'Zionism in the Age of the Dictators"

They say 50 percent of Americans do not approve of what Israel is doing. If true, good! Biden and his administration have portrayed themselves as embracing the other, yet he's feeding Israel bombs to blow up what he and his administration and Israel perceive as the "other." He had a lot of practice in pushing our Middle Eastern wars that never would have happened if those that resided in countries like Iran, Libya, Syria, etc were made up of a Christian population.

Biden and Co didn't have a problem supporting islamists in Checnya, Afghanistan, Syria against mostly Christians of Russia and Syria (which is multi-religion). They have zero scruples helping to destroy Orthodox Christianity in Ukraine and facilitating killing of hundreds of thousands mostly Christians of Ukraine and Russia.

Why does everything have to linked to religion? The fact that scumbags bring it in when convenient for them shouldn't become a bait for regular folks to swallow. They use it as a tool to divide and conquer. When someone like you brings it up, it is helping them succeed.

Don't go off on a tangent. From the outset Palestinians were perceived as inferior, as were Arabs in general, by the Europeans and Americans. That's one of the reasons the colonial powers of WWI could so easily turn over the land of Palestine to the Zionists after the fall of the Ottoman empire. In 1948, the UN made it official, although their were countries who offered some opposition they were strong armed into compliance. In 1948 there was the Nakba which also reflects their highly prejudicial attitude. They are the Chosen People, right? After, decades of abuse the Palestinian population in recent years reside in an outdoor concentration camp with no access to the sea. Covered less, is the he West Bank which has had it's lands stolen and settler communities have taken over a large swath of it, driving the Palestinians out. They are often killed by settlers, and who kill with impunity. They can rot in jail with no charges against them for years. As Gallant said, they are animals, yes and that's the way Israel see's them, so a genocide in their minds is perfectly okay even with the world watching.

In the working of capitalism the richest are the most powerful. And the most powerful have the strongest voices and the most influence on government and the corporate media . To deny that he Jews (the Rothschilds etc) are some of the richest people in the west would be absurd. So how would one reasonable expect tha media to portray Jews? in a very favourable light would be my guess . And the Jew's enemies the Palestinians? As unfavourable as possible without being totally openly biased. And when push com to shove openly biased .For the readers and viewers have been given short memories.

The author fails to point out the pervasive irony in current Western discourse, viz., most of the people who bray loudest about antisemitism, are not Semites: their ancestors hail almost exclusively from the old Pale of Settlement aka Western Ukraine.

Good analysis I think . When I have often tried to inform people that the reason the minority Bolshevism party came to power after the revolution was that it was heavily composed of Jews. They got rid of Lenin (long painful death after being shot by a female Jew) and put in a compliant gentile Stalin who complained on his death bed that that the Jews were poisoning him because he had become non compliant . The demon (compulsory adjective) Hitler always referred to them as Jewish Bolsheviks
