My comment referring to the fact that there is ALSO Jewish racism towards Arabs was an attempt to bring out the reality that BOTH sides have RACISTS. I was RESPONDING to 'only one side' being labelled racist, and ascribing it to both sides. Way to call a spade...

So now annihilation of millions of citizens equals to destruction of military bases used to build nuclear weapons? Another thing, show me where the Jews threated Iran that they will drop nukes on Teheran? Its clearly Iran threatening to attack Jewish civilians - holy crap it is only natural that Israel wants to defend itself - and the way to defend itself is not letting Iran get nuclear weapons.

Completely non-sensical. The holocaust, and the problems between Israel and Iran, are not related. Just in case you can't read small letters, NOT RELATED. The holocaust does not give Israel carte blanche to obliterate it's enemies, anymore than it's enemies should be 'allowed' to obliterate it.

Air strikes dont count, because they are a reaction towards direct threat of use of violence. If you threat me that you will shoot me once you will pick up a gun from the floor, I am entitled not to let you pick up the gun. Disagree?

Sooo... if 'terrorists/nationalist/rebels/freedom fighters/insurgents' in Iraq know US troops are coming to kill them, and set up an ambush to instead kill the US troops, that, according to your above statement, is not 'terrorism', because, in the example I site, they are 'reacting towards direct threat of use of violence'. Of course, I'm sure you'll say that, automatically, the US is _always_ the responder, and never the initiator of violence. Just like in the Iraq War...

And make threats that they will use them! Cant you read? Really though, you see no difference between A the US having nukes and B totalitarian nutcase regimes full of religious zealots with inferioty complex?

I'm sure India and Pakistan have threatened to use their nukes, at one time or another. The United States and Soviet Union certainly did. What's the point of having nukes if you can't 'threaten' to use them? I thought that was the point of having them, the 'threat' is your 'deterrance' against invasion.
All I said was only one nation has used nuclear weapons in war, in history. China, Russia, India... hell, Pakistan has them! North Korea almost has them! But Iran is the country that is _definitely_ going to use them? History certainly doesn't bend that way...
Arab states/leaders have been calling for the complete destruction of Israel since its inception. This guy is _nothing_ new. Iran is in _no_ position to wipe Israel off the map, without wiping itself off the map (hello MAD?).
Holy smokes... this a jerk statement... usually you're more civil than this. If you think I've missed something, feel free to quote it and call me out on it, no need to imply that I'm stupid, I don't do the same to you.
