Only
two days ago (thursday August 16,2012), The Agence
France-Presse AFP, quoted the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling
Isreal a ‘’cancerous tumour” that would soon be finished off while addressing
demonstrators holding an annual protest against the existence of the Jewish
state. The Iranian political leader said this in a speech in Tehran marking
Iran’s Quds Day that was broadcast on state television.
He
continued: ‘’the nations of the region will soon finish off the usurper
Zionists in the Palestinian land.....a new Middle East will definitely be
formed....in the new Middle East, there will be no trace of the Americans and
the Zionists”.
Looking
at his speech on print, I decided to analyse critically his choice of words and
find out what exactly the Iranian President is talking about. My inquest took
me to Google to find out what a tumour is: “’a tumour is a solid or
fluid-filled growth that appears large in size [and mass]....causing an
abnormal swelling of the flesh.’’’ Generally, tumour occupies large spot on the
body, appearing to contain so much but in reality contains ‘nothing’; gives its
host body nothing ( except if a swollen spot is now an aesthetic requirement!)
and “draws largely from its host to maintain its growth statues”.
Put
in clear terms, Ahmadinejad thinks Israel and its Jewish allies are empty
good-for –nothing large space occupiers that give nothing and take plenty!
Is
the Iranian President really talking about Israel? Or is it that he is clearly
talking about himself, his country and his Muslim brothers?
Please
come with me.
The Nobel Prize award is a set of
internationally recognized awards administered by the Nobel Foundation in
Stockholm Sweden every year since 1901. The award named after its
founder----the late Swedish philanthropist inventor Alfred Nobel, is given to
individuals ‘’in recognition of their Cultural, Peaceful and/or Scientific
advances towards the greatest benefit on Mankind”.
The
award reputation and credibility has made it a ‘’globally accepted’’ criteria
for appraising individual contributions to the overall benefit of the world.
And rightly so, I have decided to introduce it to provide me a logical premise
in order to establish whom Ahmadinejad was actually
referring to ‘’as a cancerous tumour’’ in his Quds Day speech.
I
hope you are still with me.

TOTAL=153
That’s 152 more Nobel Laureates! With a
population representing only 1.3% of the total Muslim population.
Now
I would like to ask the question again:
Is
the Iranian president really talking
about Israel? Or is it that he is clearly talking about himself, his country (save
for Ebadi, Iran was nowhere on that list!), and his Muslim brothers when he
used the word ‘’cancerous tumour’’? hmmm, your pick is as good as mine!
Ok.
Now that we know who Ahmadinejad was referring to, let’s see what else is in
the mix in that speech.
.......’’a
new Middle East will definitely be formed.....in the new Middle East there will
be no trace of the Americans and the
Zionists”. Is this man really serious? No
trace of the Zionists?! Can the Iranian state and the Middle East afford
this?
Simply
put, this is what Ahmadinejad is saying:
‘Any
inhabitant of his new Middle East who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew Dr Ehrlich.
He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wasserman test is the discovery of a
Jew. If a Middle-Easterner suspects that he has Gonorrhoea, he must not seek diagnosis,
because he will be using the method of a Jew named Neissner.
An
Iranian who has a heart disease must not use Digitalis, a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Trauble. Should he suffer
with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine,
a discovery of Widal and Weil, both Jews.
If
an Ahmadinejad follower has Diabetes, he must not refer to insulin, the result of research by Minkowsky, a Jew. If he has
headache he must shun Pyramidon and Antypyrin both due to the Jews, Spiro
and Ellege.
A
Middle-Easterner with convulsions must put up with the attack, because it was a
Jew Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate. And the same applies to psychic ailments, because
Sigmund Freud, ‘father of psychoanalysis’ was a Jew. Should an Iranian child get
Diphtheria, that child must not be
treated with the ‘Schick’ reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bella Schick.
Ahmadinejad
followers must thus be ready to die in large numbers and must not permit
treatment of ear and brain damage; work of Jewish Nobel Prize winner, Robert
Barany. They should be willing to continue to die or remain crippled by Infantile paralysis, because the
discoverer of the anti-polio vaccine, Jonas Salk, is a Jew. They must refuse to
use Streptomycin and continue to bear
the killing effects of Tuberculosis,
because a Jew, Zalman Waxman, invented the wonder drug against this killer
disease.
The
Middle East doctors must discard all discoveries and improvements by dermatologist
Judas Sehn Benedict, or the lung specialist, Frawnkel, and of many other
world-renowned Jewish scientists and medical experts.
In
short, all good and loyal Ahmadinejad followers and their allies should remain
afflicted with Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Heart disease, Tooth-ache, Diabetes,
Headache, Convulsions, Mental disorders, Diphtheria, Ear and brain damage,
Polio, Tuberculosis, and be a proud follower!
Oh!
By the way do not call for a doctor on your cell phone, because the cell phone
was invented by a Jewish Engineer, Martin Lawrence Cooper’.
And
if you are in the Middle East reading this, please enjoy it while it last, because
this platform---whether it is facebook,
email or a blog---, were all inventions of the Americans!
Isn’t
it interesting what the Iranian president has in stock for his people and their
allies if they manage to survive the present severe western sanctions? And he
is not alone in this quest. Iranian supreme leader, Ayotollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday
(15th August) called it ‘’a religious duty’’. The Iranian spiritual
leader described Israel as a ‘’bogus and fake Zionist outgrowth’’ in the Middle
East that ‘’will disappear’’.
‘’Israel
has been employing its own invective against Iran’’, reports AFP, ‘’invoking
the image of Hitler and the Nazis on the eve of World War II and accusing
Tehran of being bent on Israel genocide’’. But would you fault this? Especially
amidst words like ‘’no trace’’ and ‘’disappear’’.
Ahmadinejad
and his protagonists have consistently being sending a clear signal for quite
some time now: that the Iranian president has graduated into the leagues of the
likes of the late Saddam and Ghadaffi; a state of a false sense that power over
few means power over all. And it’s high-time the US and its partners saw that
it well would take more than economic sanctions to get Ahmadinejad to think
like a human.
Now
I understand why Ahmadinejad insists that his country’s nuclear programme is ‘’for
medical treatment only’’. He sees his enemies (the Jewish state and the
Americans) as a cancerous tumour his nuclear programme will make disappear. But
little did he know that the cancerous tumour he talks about is of himself and
his people.
