Comments on: Ahmadinejad – The Counter Conference http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2006/12/12/ahmadinejad-the-counter-conference/ The blog of the mystery writer, screenwriter and CEO of Pajamas Media Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:23:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Pooh http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2006/12/12/ahmadinejad-the-counter-conference/#comment-83725 Pooh Thu, 14 Dec 2006 20:17:13 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2006/12/12/ahmadinejad-the-counter-conference/#comment-83725 I agree with balzar. Roger was being incredibly provocative. We Jews never seem to learn. Firstly, we boycotted Hitler's Germany simply because of the innocuous Nuremberg Laws which in turn brought down the Holocaust on our heads, and now, decades later, Roger L. Simon comes up with this outrageous plan. If Iran does nuke Israel there is little question that a large part of the responsibility will rest on Roger's shoulders. Why we Jews can't just learn to get along with eminently reasonable men like Hitler and Ahmadinejad I will never know. Yes, their ideas might seem a little extreme and even a tad offensive to some people, but we Jews should learn to roll with the punches. No more boycotts. No more retaliation. Just love and understanding. (A note to the crazies: no, I'm not being serious) I agree with balzar. Roger was being incredibly provocative. We Jews never seem to learn.

These are the people who riot over <i>cartoons</i>, for goodness' sake... if they can't take it, they shouldn't dish it out. If people are offended -- Westerners, I mean -- at the thought of a symposium on Mohammed, fine. There are many other topics we can use -- "Ahmadinejad: Is he really only five feet tall? Or is he really 4'8" without his platform shoes?" "Israel supposedly had nuclear weapons in the late sixties. Even Saddam almost had them in 1981. Why is Iran still working on them, and does that qualify them as the Most Backward Nuclear Scientists in the World?" "On Saber-Rattling: Iran fought Saddam's Iraq to a standstill, although it took them eight years. America toppled Saddam's regime in a matter of weeks. Compare & contrast." Heck, maybe we should have a <i>weekly</i> symposium of this sort, each week on a different topic. And, like Promoguy suggested, we don't have to talk about anything; make it a get-together over bagels and cream cheese, and let President I'm-A-Dinner-Jacket just wonder what's being discussed. Let's remind him who truly believes in open discussions, and who really <i>is</i> humor deprived... shall we? respectfully, Daniel in Brookline Personally, I’m with being provocative for the sake of being provocative.

“Ahmadinejad: Is he really only five feet tall? Or is he really 4’8″ without his platform shoes?”

“Israel supposedly had nuclear weapons in the late sixties. Even Saddam almost had them in 1981. Why is Iran still working on them, and does that qualify them as the Most Backward Nuclear Scientists in the World?”

“On Saber-Rattling: Iran fought Saddam’s Iraq to a standstill, although it took them eight years. America toppled Saddam’s regime in a matter of weeks. Compare & contrast.”

And I would love to see it happen. Your average Muslim fanatic is more sensitive than the big toe of a gout sufferer that's been scraped with sandpaper and covered in lemon juice. I would dearly love to see these chuckleheads scream. It's not as if they could protest to the Israeli government, since most of their failed states don't have diplomatic relationships. They're on perennial seethe and maybe a few thousand will die in the inevitable riots. This proposal is deliberately provocative. And I would love to see it happen.

Yeah, and the excuse is always the same: They aren't following a religion; ergo they are acting from pristine motives rather than irrational dogma... Thus my remedial education suggestion above. “Secularists have the record…and like the Communists they always have an excuse.”
