That was probably Alex working on his pick up lines mate … They sound awfully like launch codes, honest.

Agreed (and I think there are many like us). But two days ago (with the alleged landslide for A.) I could distinctly hear the sound of the rehearsing of launch codes emanating from Tel Aviv, today it sounds more like the gnashing or Bibi’s teeth

Reversal of fortune!

I don’t disagree with any of that … But to be honest, and I know it’s hard for Anti-Zionists to believe this, I could care less what he thinks of Israel/Nuclear weapons, I just would rather not see more people suffer/die needlessly there … Let it stop inshallah.

A staunch anti-nationalist, eh? I like it. Imagined Communities…

“But weren’t the ‘pre-election’ %s something like 55-40 in favor of Mousavi (sp?)?”

Yes, but before the groundswell of support for Moussavi, Ahmadinejad, as the incumbent, was widely tipped to be the most likely winner, as incumbents often are (see also US elections e.g.).

Now it appears we may be looking at another Iranian Revolution or perhaps a Revolutionette, either would be good news for the Iranians. But Moussavi, make no mistake about it, is strong on both the nuclear and Palestinian issue. While the revolt, if it succeeds, would lead to much needed greater internal freedoms, I believe Iran will remain firm on these issues.

Are you impressed with the Mad Zionist’s no-show with regards to his Finkelstein claim?

I’ll give him some more time but hopes aren’t high.

Thanks for your answer

Mondoweiss isn’t a barometer – so I don’t really go by it. But weren’t the ‘pre-election’ %s something like 55-40 in favor of Mousavi (sp?)? Whatever the case, I think we can both agree that we hope that this ends quickly. Some amazing pics if you’re interested:

“Then I don’t know what you understand by an honest and correct answer.”

Well, you never defined what YOU see as ‘Historic Palestine’ (I just wanted to know if you see it as a region, or a country, etc). As I said in the last post, no worries though. Let’s move on as it’s going around in circles and we both may soon get dizzy.
