General Chat (Non-Music-Related)

It's a damn good thing that they don't wish death to America or our brilliant commander in chief wouldn't assist them in building their nuclear arsenal.
He's way too smart for them. (Wink Wink)

Iran Threatens to Use Proxy Hezbollah to ‘Destroy Tel Aviv’

A top Iranian official has threatened Israel that Tehran’s proxy, the Lebanon-based terror group Hezbollah, has over 80,000 missiles at its disposal, and that the Shiite jihadists are ready to fire upon Jerusalem at a moment’s notice.

General Yahya Rahim Safavi, who serves as a top military advisor to Iranian dictator Ali Khamenei, claimed on Thursday that Hezbollah has 80,000 missiles should the “Zionists” threaten Iran.

“Iran, with the help of Hezbollah and its friends, is capable of destroying Tel Aviv and Haifa in case of military aggression on the part of the Zionists,” claimed the Iranian general.

“I don’t think the Zionists would be so unintelligent as to create a military problem with Iran. They know the strength of Iran and Hezbollah,” he added.

Hezbollah, like Hamas and the Shiite Houthis in Yemen, remain well-supported by the Iranian regime. Because of the aforementioned realities, the United States continues to apply Iran’s designation as a state-sponsor of terror.

Last week, Israeli officials revealed to the New York Times that Hezbollah was employing guerilla tactics–moving its military apparatus into civilian territory–in order to better protect itself from the IDF, should the two sides engage in a coming war.

Israeli officials made their case by supplying sophisticated maps and photos as proof of Hezbollah’s movements into civilian areas. They told the Times that Israel reserves the right to defend itself, and that Hezbollah is ultimately responsible for civilian deaths if its forces decide to use human shields as cover for strikes on Israeli territory.

SHOCK POLL: 81% Of Al Jazeera Arabic Poll Respondents Support Islamic State

In a recent survey conducted by AlJazeera.net, the website for the Al Jazeera Arabic television channel, respondents overwhelmingly support the Islamic State terrorist group, with 81% voting “YES” on whether they approved of ISIS’s conquests in the region.

The poll, which asked in Arabic, “Do you support the organizing victories of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)?” has generated over 38,000 responses thus far, with only 19% of respondents voting “NO” to supporting ISIS.


Al Jazeera Arabic’s television audience is largely made up of Sunni Muslims living in the Arab world. Its biggest viewership numbers come from Egypt and Saudi Arabia, along with a large amount of satellite television viewers in the United States, according to research estimates. AlJazeera.net is most popular in Saudi Arabia, the United States, Egypt, Morocco, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to the Alexa webpage analytics site. Al Jazeera claims that it has over 40 million viewers in the Arab world.

The news that an overwhelming majority of respondents to the Al Jazeera Arabic poll strongly support ISIS may not surprise long-time trackers of the controversial network. The news outfit, which is run by Qatar’s ruling family and headquartered in Doha, has a track record rife with allegations that the organization supports the narratives of Sunni terrorist groups.

Following the September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States, the Al Jazeera headquarters in Doha proudly displayed silhouettes revering Osama bin Laden as a prophet-like figure, according to a New York Times investigation. In an Al Jazeera survey taken on September 11, 2006, 50% of respondents said they supported Osama bin Laden.

The network also faces multiple accusations that it reports with a strong bias in favor of Sunni Islamist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, which is designated as a terrorist group in many countries. In 2013, dozens of its Egypt bureau staff members resigned in protest of the network’s “biased coverage” in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood. More recently, In mid-May, a former Al Jazeera English journalist accused his former employer of being an arm of the foreign policy of Qatar. He also described the network as being dedicated to the interests of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to legal testimony.

Another recent investigation found that the NSA had labeled Al Jazeera’s Islamabad bureau chief as an Al Qaeda terrorist and member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The poll’s troubling findings come following recent news that Al Jazeera’s United States outfit, Al Jazeera America, is facing multiple lawsuits dealing with anti-Semitism and gender discrimination, along with a rapidly declining viewership.
