Via Breitbart: Palestinians Accuse Kerry of Trying to Kill Their Leader
Palestinians are gripped by a new conspiracy theory: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is trying to assassinate their president, Mahmoud Abbas. The theory is being propagated by senior Palestinian officials and media, and one official has threatened to file charges against Kerry at the United Nations’ International Criminal Court.
The charge stems from a comment made by Kerry during a recent meeting with Abbas, during which he was reported to have said that “he would meet the same fate as his predecessor, Yasser Arafat, if he turned down Washington’s proposals for peace with Israel,” according to Khaled Abu Toameh of the Jerusalem Post….
Well, if you think that one is a whopper, here’s an even crazier one:
Via Daniel Greenfield: FrontPagMag — Iranian Ayatollah Claims Jews Invented Buddhism
…the main idea of Islamism is that the Jews are behind all the evil in the world. So when Muslims get into a fight with Buddhists, who are not that easy to provoke, their theology demands that the whole thing be explained in terms of Evil Jew Theory.
And that leaves them no other choice but to claim that the Jews invented Buddhism. Buddhism predates Islam. But Muslims have no problem dismissing older traditions and cultures as pawns of the Jewish Devil and then destroying them.
In an August 8, 2012 interview with the Rasa news agency titled “The Cruel Genocide Against The Muslim People In Myanmar,” Ayatollah Ruhollah Qarehi, head of the Imam Mahdi seminary in Tehran, said: “The genocide of the Muslims in Myanmar is ostensibly being carried out by the Buddhists, but we are certain that Judaism and Global Zionism are [behind] the massacre and the genocide against the Muslims… The tenets of Buddhism are derived from Judaism. The Buddhists are a tool [in the hands] of the Jews, and ‘Buddhism’ is a name behind which [hides] the hand of Judaism and Global Zionism.
Why did Jews invent Buddhism? Because everyone hates Jews and everyone loves Buddhists. So the Jews just started claiming to be Asians and calling themselves Buddhists….
I’m really trying hard to follow the “logic” of the last sentence. If someone could explain it to me, I would be very grateful.
Right now, though, I think I’m getting a headache…
Umm, centuries of in-breeding takes its toll.
LOL!
Wow. That’s really messed up.
Hey, not so fast with the condemnation. I mean, it could be true—I know he’s killing me.
May be their way to indicate no confidence in a pampered fool trying to do diplomatn . Or he just scares them.
Isn’t that typical? They look in the mirror and they see John Kerry. I suppose the image in the mirror is so terrifying it reminds them of Kerry. Poor Lurch doesn’t deserve the reputation of either Kerry or Palestinians. Maybe we can bomb them with mirrors. They can be paralyzed by hallucinatory terrors — we can send them fun-house mirrors and observe the paroxysms of terror.
Hmmmmm. I wonder. Wasn’t Buddhism started by someone called Sid something?
I get a vision of the Kerry & Buddhism theorists lying down in a field of poppies.
“Poppies Poppies Poppies……”
It’s weird the way the Obama administration manages to alienate us from our friends while making our enemies and adversaries hate us even more.
