George, why do you and Art Bell continue repeating the MEMRI LIE (their intentional MIS-translation) that Iran's President vows to "WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE MAP"?
 
That monstrous MEMRI lie is today being used to "justify" a NUCLEAR STRIKE on supposedly "threatening" Iran by the U.S. and Israel - perhaps this summer, while our naive Congress is in recess!
 
Both of you radio hosts NEVER seem to disagree with your frequent guests like Jerome Corsi (devoted to Israel) who regularly parrot that MEMRI lie and demonize Iran, while they also attempt to instill public fear of global "Islamo-Facism," that ridiculous label (apparently) invented by Muslim-hating "christian"-Zionist Rev. Hagee - or the Israeli propagandists Hagee parrots.
 
Thanks to your constant repetitions, millions of your trusting Coast-To-Coast listeners probably now also believe the MEMRI lie!
 
 
Our slavishly Israel-obedient Congress in both Parties (with the exception of protesting Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul) also believes the (Israeli-concocted) MEMRI lie - and "unanimously" recently voted to pressure the UN to put Iran's President on trial for his "genocidal crime" of wanting "Israel wiped from the map" (see Kucinich news release further down).
 
 
(Keep in mind: the "frightened" little State of Israel has around 600 nukes..the 3rd or 4th largest nuclear weapons arsenal in the entire world. Iran has none!)
To better inform yourselves (and your trusting Coast-to-Coast listeners), please open and read the following articles (or, if too lazy, at least read the few excerpts)...

MEMRI Loss
 
 
"MEMRI is a main arm of Israeli propaganda," - Professor Norman Finkelstein (son of Holocaust survivors).
 
 
By Kurt Nimmo

Excerpts only...
 
 
As we have known for some time now, MEMRI, short for the Middle East Media Research Institute, specializes in disinformation by distorting translations of film and print media stories originating in Arabic, Iranian and Turkish media. In essence, what MEMRI does is change the context of news stories by way of mistranslation and excision. Call it MEMRI loss, the deliberate mangling of media. MEMRI did this to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by turning a speech he delivered in 2005 into a racist and genocidal screed. MEMRI accomplished this through mistranslation. Not a day passes now we do not witness corporate media claims Ahmadinejad wants to wipe Israel off the map. In fact, Ahmadinejad said the "regime that is occupying Qods [Jerusalem] must be eliminated from the pages of history." He did not say Israel must be wiped off the map. But this engineered lie is repeated constantly by the corporate media and to such a degree it is now accepted as fact.
 
 
"MEMRI is a main arm of Israeli propaganda," explains Finkelstein. "Although widely used in the mainstream media as a source of information on the Arab world, it is as trustworthy as Julius Streicher's Der Sturmer was on the Jewish world." Ken Livingstone, mayor of London, accuses MEMRI of "outright distortion," while former CIA case officer Vince Cannistraro has written that "they (MEMRI) are selective and act as propagandists for their political point of view, which is the extreme-right of Likud," in other words, the people associated with MEMRI -David Wurmser, Douglas Feith, Elliot Abrams, Richard Perle and other neocons -are racist reactionaries, no different than the above mentioned Julius Streicher (instead of hating Jews, the neocons hate Arabs and Muslims).
 
 
Finally, it appears an appreciable number of mostly clueless Americans are stupid enough to fall victim to MEMRI's lies, as millions of them sincerely believe Ahmadinejad wants to wipe Israel off the map. Of course, they know nothing of MEMRI, or that it is an Israeli intelligence operation run by Yigal Carmon, who "served" in the IOF's intelligence branch, or that it was co-founded by one Meyrav Wurmser, wife of "Clean Break" author David Wurmser, a dual citizen questioned by the FBI for allegedly passing state secrets on to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. It should be noted that Meyrav Wurmser wrote her Ph.D. thesis on Revisionist Zionism, the racist and murderous political philosophy behind the Herut and Likud parties in Israel, thus demonstrating Meyrav's racism and hatred is a generational affair.

CONGRESS VOTES TO SEND IRAN PRESIDENT BEFORE U.N. COURT
 
 
Office of Congressman Dennis Kucinich
For Immediate Release
 
 Excerpts only...
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 20, 2007) - Today the House of Representatives passed H. Con.Res.21, a resolution that pressures the United Nations Security Council to charge Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with violating the 1948 Convention on Genocide and the United Nations Charter because of his alleged calls for the destruction of Israel.
 
Kucinich attempted to insert into the Congressional Record two independent translations of the speech from The New York Times and Middle East Media Research Institute, which contain significant differences in the translations of the speech compared to the resolution before the House. However, Members objected formally and the attempt was blocked.

Additional earlier articles contradicting the MEMRI MIS-translation of the Iranian President's statements, also exposing the insidious Israeli-propaganda nature of MEMRI which now provides for "free" MOST of the translations from middle east languages, relied upon by most of America's major "news" media (and our gullible Congress)....
SELECTIVE MEMRI

"All it takes is a small but active group of Israelis to exploit that barrier for their own ends and start changing western perceptions of Arabs for the worse."

The headline is drawn from this quote, provided without context: 
"We say that this fake regime cannot logically continue to live."
