good on you Rhianon...well said...

"Let there be Light!"

Very well said Rhiannon. While he was extremely civilized and classy, one cannot say the same about his host who was extremely rude, spineless, vulgar and pathetically groveling at the feet of the Israelis and Jews who were filling have the hall. The fellow who introduced Ahmadinejad was a live reminder that in the US, ISRAEL RULES. His only pre-occupation was the holohoax and Israel. The United States itself was obviously marginal. It was very interesting to see to what extent Americans are in the Zionist grip.
Having said this, I raised my hat to the Americans who managed against all odds to put this event together! They must be so under pressure by the Israel lobby. Bravo to them!

That Iran offered the West peace and promise of safety. They arrogantly refused and called him an evil. So let it be written in history records who wanted WAR and verily God does not love those who start war. God is with those who prefer peace and stand firm against tyranny and aggression. We live in times when good is called evil and vice versa. We all know how many foreign countries was attacked bu US since WWII and we all know that Iran never attacked anyone in spite of being called evil and terrorist nation. If they eventually get attacked by Zionists they have full right to literally wipe off entire western presence in ME including Israel. Then they can report and remember that Israel and its allies were rightfully wiped off the map of ME once and for all. There is no point in appeasing corrupted and abominable people who arrogantly claim some moral superiority over ME nations. I am fasting so I could not use words that would adequately describe my opinion about western "superiority".

"Let there be Light!"

Considering the tremendous current this man is against when he visits the USA, in the audience, the ones trying to undo the great applause given him, did not succeed. For me, this is a very great thing. Significant!

Even the very few loud boos at the end of Ahmadinejad's speech couldn't touch the great applause he received.

I didn't get every single "For Sixty Years" that he brought up in his speech. I am just paraphrasing what he said.

And with all the great things he said, after the forum, the zionist monster press smashed him once again, over and over about "terrorist" remarks and innuendo Ahmadinejad never said or implied.

Sometimes the truth is right there in front of you and you don't see it. Sometimes someone speaks with such sincerity and such vision: Why would Ahmadinejad want a Nuclear bomb? Why would he advocate destroying each other?

The Americans are not listening, they're not listening still....

"Rabbis Say Iran Seeks Peace, Respects Judaism - Calls for True Dialogue With Ahmadinejad
Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss who is a very well spoken guest at TFC has something important to tell."
---vvvvvvvvvvv---
http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/news_press_release,183456.shtml

"NEW YORK, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, spokesman of Neturei Karta International, issued the following statement on the eve of the group's meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"It is always our pleasure to visit with President Ahmadinejad. This will be the third such meeting, in addition to our many visits to Iran in the past. We have each time emphasized to the Iranian leadership that, despite media hysteria and the statements of some misinformed Jews, we have found the Iranian people and their leaders to be friendly and respectful.
"Likewise, although we as Jews are not to be involved in politics, (According to Jewish law, Jewish people are required to be loyal citizens to the countries wherein they reside), We have found the Iranian President to be a deeply religious man, dedicated to a peaceful world, based on mutual respect, fairness and dialogue.
"Judaism seeks peace. Unfortunately, there are some Jews today, influenced by the barely century old, philosophy of Zionism, who feel that the proper Jewish response to enemies, be they real or fantasized, is aggression and calls for violence and unfortunately attempts to drag other nations down the path of war.
"It is sad that so few have actually attempted to speak to the Iranian President or seek the true opinion of Iranian Jewry who live in peace and practice their faith throughout that nation. We have met this man who has demonstrated time and again that he is sincerely interested in the well being of Iran's Jewish community and has deep respect for world Jewry and their Torah faith, The Zionist attempt to socially isolate this man and his people is immoral and disastrous.
"Zionism is antithetical to Torah beliefs. It believes in creating our own sovereign entity which is expressly forbidden due to the Divine decree of exile. This ideology leads to aggression against nations and is incarnated in the State of 'Israel.' This State continually oppresses other people in the name of Judaism and the entire Jewish people. This movement has exacerbated anti Semitism throughout the world. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad understands this distinction between traditional Judaism and Zionist distortion.
"We view our approach to Iran as a model for all Jews and all mankind. The Torah is the Almighty's blueprint of mercy and justice for all creation. We have followed this modal in our dealings with the Iranian President and found in him an individual dedicated to these same ideals. There is much to be gained by talking and listening and everything to be lost by raising the rhetoric in the direction of war. The grave tragedy of our era is the inordinate power garnered by Zionism, whose acceptance of force as the only means to reconcile conflicts, has influenced some to abandon Torah fundamentals. We hope and pray that they too will adopt the traditional Jewish approach of dialogue, respect and reconciliation.
"War is a horrible thing. The dark clouds of a future conflict are now on the horizon in the Middle East. Torah Jewry hopes and prays that this may yet be averted."
In conclusion says rabbi Weiss, "Out of great respect to the Iranian Nation and their leadership we proudly welcome the Honorable President Ahmadinejad to New York, WELCOME!"
Neturei Karta International"

...to point out the suffering of the Palestinians in displacement and discrimination by Israeli Zionists in uprooting their farm lands and destroying their houses.

State of Israel is an apartheid rogue state, and it's plainly obvious. Mainstream media in the West daresay not report the Palestinian side.

I cheered when Mr. Ahmadinejad uttered the word "Zionist regime" in defiance of the would-be censors in the control room (I watched MSNBC, don't know if they scrub out the operative word 'Zionist' on FNC, CNN, etc).

Controlled media would rather avoid mentioning the word Zionist to cover up Israel's crimes and Washington politicians & players kissing ADL/AIPAC/Zionist ass to demonstrate their loyalty to Israel above America.

Columbia University president is a dumbass and a Zionist whore for trying too hard to demoralize the invited guest by defamation with bad facts and opinionated negativism in introducing the guest.

Zionist whores are just that -- prostitutes servicing Israel. I hardly stand watching John Bolton open his filthy mouth condemning Mr. Ahmadinejad on FCN after the forum so I turned off the tv to express my disdain at the idiot commentators (CNN, FCN, MSNBC) babbling about how dangerously irrational Mr. Ahmadinejad is.

My blog Last Throes of US Empire

I was watching with my parents. CNN interrupted with a split screen with some doofus over-riding Ahmadinejad's speech.

We changed the channel and watch the BBC. By the time for questions and answers came, they split the screen and another doofus came on to speak over Ahmadinejad.

We changed the channel again and twice more this happened.

Not only was the host speaker rude, Oh Yes, Cherifa, but the stations were mean to cut off Ahmadinejad at different times and different places.

The more they try to hide, the more they are GUILTY and have PLENTY to hide.

I also noticed the applause Ahmadinejad got.. as well as the boos.. As you say however, the boos couldn't match the applause especially towards the end of the event. Applause increased while boos decreased... despite the fact that the hall was crawling with Israeli exchange students and Zionist Jews with their kippas... The very fact that this event took place is very meaningful in the US.. and can be regarded as a ‘defeat’ of AIPAC lobbying.

I agree with you.. all this is quite significant. I also just heard on CNBC that a huge swastika was carved in a US corn field and spotted from a helicopter. Interesting…

In my opinion this whole event will backfire on the Zionist lobby… which simply has gone far too far.. and is being exposed for what it is.

You are right… While the truth stares Americans in the face, they still can’t see it. I am listening to their media coverage of the event and that in itself is most interesting. Not only are the Americans a very low on intellect and knowledge but they also are too pompous to see their deficiencies. Imagine that in an event that is supposed to be about the US and Iran, the main subject of conversation is Israel, the holohunt and homosexuals. How pathetic is that?

Unfortunately, these greedy, scurvy little, backwards, murderous fellows exert too great an influence over mankind everywhere through their subversion of everything-- most notably the media, govt., 'education' institutes, fluoridation/ poisoning with chemicals of our water, &c.

Conclusion of Ahmadinejad's Columbia Speech

hey, thanks for that claymoremind.

at least one thing is for sure: neither president Tush nor PM Omelet has one vertebra of this little man's lumbar to go to a middle eastern hostile country and jump in the middle of a crowd and engage themselves in an unrestricted interactive and free dialog with the native citizens regarding just about anything, live on camera.

In a backward third world dictatorial religious fundamentalist country like Iran, a blacksmith's son makes it to the head of the state, not by coupes but thru elections. He dares to an open forum in their university, where students in the back burn his picture and shout dictator, but the show goes on without a fight. They are one of the six countries in the world that distributes free iv syringes in the prisons, one of the six countries with cloning technology. They have been a decade or two ahead of the west in sex change operations, just passed US in literacy by 2.5%, ...

On the other hand, in the first world, in the civilized free and democratic world, nobody remembers the last time a normal nonmillionaire, and trustworthy person became head of state, they openly keep Galeleos in the prisons, they openly operate concentration camps, heads of states cannot afford anything more than selected audiences with staged and scripted questions in their own countries even via video conferencing, their gigantic media apparatus can only say the same things regardless of what channel or station you turn to, the president of one of the most prestigious universities claim holocaust is the most documented event in history (but if you ask to see those documents, they put you in jail), ...

Are we witnessing the world turning on its head?

Here's the whole debate at Columbia U

..reminds me of when Hugo Chavez denounced dush as el diablo, right in the center of zionazi control! ONE year ago.

Here's the full CBS interview
