The French have officially joined the pro-genoicde camp:
Iran is a significant, respected player in the Middle East which is playing a stabilizing role, French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said on Monday.
“It was clear that we could never accept a destabilization of Lebanon, which could lead to a destabilization of the region,” Douste-Blazy said in Beirut.
“In the region there is of course a country such as Iran – a great country, a great people and a great civilization which is respected and which plays a stabilizing role in the region,” he told a news conference.
The Soviet Union played a stabilizing role for many years. Tens of millions died in the process.

I can understand Iran’s wishes to obtain nuclear weapons. Only countries who own it are safe from the new age of colonialism started with Afghanistan. It is, still, no way to do so while threatening other countries. Im not defending Israel here. Both countries are behaving like childs, bragging at each other, and it cant end good.
Hopefully, the jews will perish in the process. No one wants to kill a tyrannic jew, but its ok if its a muslim.
