Ayatollah Khamenei Tweets Support for French Anti-Semite
As world powers praise Iran’s new “moderate” stance of President Hassan Rouhani, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, apparently showed his true colors on Monday, when a Twitter account believed to be run by his office, tweeted support for a noted French anti-Semite and Muslim convert, Roger Garaudy, whose books have been banned as hate speech.
On December 16, the anniversary of the author’s most notable French trial, the account tweeted a picture from the author’s Facebook page, showing a portrait of the bespectacled older man in a three-piece suit, in front of a quote from Khamenei, himself, from 1998: “The Zionists are just like the Nazis.”
Alongside the image, there are three photos from the Holocaust, or films about it, and a recent photo, of an Arab, presumably in Israel, carrying the wounded.
In 1996, Garaudy published ‘The Founding Myths of Modern Israel.‘ The book claimed that the Jewish death toll in WWII was far lower than is widely believed, while the Holocaust, itself, as well as many of what he says are the founding notions of Israel, were myths.
Under France’s 1990 Gayssot Law, which prohibited the questioning of the existence of an event deemed as “crimes against humanity,” as defined in the London Charter of 1945, much of Garaudy’s book was shown to be illegal. His trial began in 1996 and he was convicted in 1998.
The book was banned, Garaudy was fined and he served a suspended sentence. Garaudy died in 2012.
Ayatollah Khameini’s tweet was first flagged by anonymous blogger Elder of Ziyon on Monday.

I do not believe a word that any these Iranians say. I would never trust any of them not even the new one in power. As for Khamenei. We all know what he is about. A Jew hater.

History will repeat itself.
Not in my lifetime, but it will happen.
The Romans, Greeks, Spain, Hitler,all tried to destroy
G-d’s children, the Jews.
They are all history.
The Jews will be here, long after Islam dies.
The Muslims are killing the Muslims.
That will spread to a huge war within Islam.
Then the world will be free of Islamic hatred of Jews, Christians, Hindus,Bahai etc.

It won’t be a surprise if the mullahs proclaim Haj Amin el Huseini a prophet. All homicide bombers and killers are proclaimed martyrs and that piece of doggy-do is in the running for a title. “Islam’s Paradise” must be full of killers.

Marching alongside Pat Condell (www.patcondell.net), sane atheists everywhere should worship the ground the Muslim Brotherhood, Ayatollah Khamenei and their fellow Islamists (who work to make Shariah Law subjugate the world) have coming to them.

Khamenei is a Jew hater as are all Islamists and of course all the mad mullah’s of Iran. They are the ones who are just like Nazis. They are supporters of Hitler even today as were their fathers were while Hitler was alive. They dream of imposing Islam and sharia above all else on the entire world and to destroy every human right, and all human freedom. No wonder Hitler himself was a great admirer of Islam and wished Germans were all Muslims instead of Christians with a Jewish savior . He understood the kinship between two totalitarian doctrines of extreme Islam and Nazism. He also understood that the Arab leaders and the majority of Arab Muslims supported his war against the Jews. In Bosnia, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem organized a Muslim army to fight alongside Hitler’s troops. He also toured death camps and was on intimate and loving terms with the Nazi leadership.

Not to be forgotten, that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was of the Husseini Clan, as were Saddam and the man known as Arafat! Well, they have been consigned to the rubbish heaps of history. Good riddance. They were all anti Semites, so why question if one could have worked with them. And their influence lingers on, poisoning any and all efforts to find a peaceful solution. If it is not their solution, then they walk away. They all hate Jews and the USA. These leopards will not change their spots, not now, not in the future. Time for the West to recognize this. Washington take note before it is too late. Mene mene tekal…

I know of no greater cause for the immense build-up of present-day Jew-hatred in Europe and Scandinavia than the great influx of Muslims into those areas, coupled with the huge sums of Muslim money paid to universities and the consequent hiring of Muslim teachers by institutions of higher learning all over the world. Other peoples have brought their cultural mores, but this group has brought little besides their hatred, and have become a real menace. Of course, not ALL Muslims are Islamists, but the poison being spread by those who are Islamists, has spread to places that rarely ,if ever, showed traces of antisemitism, until the tremendous numbers of these hatred purveyors arrived at their (and our) shores. The subject has been discussed in many books, such as Bat Ye Or’s EURABIA, but far too many people, both here and abroad simply refuse to recognize the truth of the content of the books and the warnings they shout at us. Multiculturalism has blinded and deafened those naïve people to the danger, and all too many are eager to prove that they are not discriminating against our Muslim “cousins” by refusing to recognize the source of the danger.

Well he took the cash before they changed their mind.
In the end, it will be Kerry and ashton that will kill the peace talks by completely losing their credibility by getting involved with Iran.
