Iranian commander: We can destroy Israel ‘in under 8 minutes’

[shira]

Cue the ass hats claiming this must be yet another mistranslation or misunderstanding.

Think the Iranian regime cares about killing all Palestinians in that neighborhood? Sure, they care about the Palestinians so much....which reminds me:

Maybe the Jew hating BDS'ers care about all Palestinians in that area being vaporized...

Yeah right.

If supreme leader gives order, Revolutionary Guards ‘will raze the Zionist regime’ quickly, says senior adviser of elite al-Quds unit.

.....Iran in March tested ballistic missiles, including two with the words “Israel must be wiped off the earth” emblazoned on them, according to the US and other Western powers.

Under a nuclear deal signed last year between world powers and Iran, ballistic missile tests are not forbidden outright but are “not consistent” with a United Nations Security Council resolution from July 2015, US officials say.

According to the UN decision, “Iran is called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology,” until October 2023.

Khamenei has repeatedly threatened to annihilate the Jewish state, and in September 2015 suggested Israel would not be around in 25 years. In a quote posted to Twitter by Khamenei’s official account on September 9, 2015, Khamenei addressed Israel, saying, “You will not see next 25 years,” and added that the Jewish state will be hounded until it is destroyed.

1. this is why Cornel West and Zogby must go from the DNC platform committee;

we need no one giving these guys moral excuses! I just emailed my Congressman from NY-3, and will be contacting other reps. I encourage people to do the same.

2. Iran's leadership is evil

from the supreme leader on down. this will not change with "moderates" like Rouhani approved by the Supreme Leader and the council of mullahs. The next Supreme Leader is not going to be any more moderate. Even though they are our new bff, it would be better not to give cover to such evil, let alone nuclear research and something in excess of $100B. Oh, but the Iranian people love living under the Supreme Leader, right? No, wrong. If western leaders will not take Iran's statements seriously, how are we to take western leaders seriously?

Now, try to imagine the responses from peace and rights loving progressives at DU - silent about this story - if Israel had said the same things about Iran.
