Shalom shalom everyone!
So, our old simian buddy, Mahmud, has been shooting off at the gob again. Yesterday he prophesied that "the filthy Zionist entity [...had] reached the end of the line" and that "it ha[d] lost its reason to be and [would] sooner or later fall." Such sentiments are no doubt shared by many around him, including Iran but also the Arab world (the latter having really been the principal target audience of this diatribe).
Now, Iran is not a happy place: Despite boasting immense national wealth, which could easily transform the place into a Bahrain or Dubai, it is a cesspit of penury, gas-rationing(!), inflation, communist-style loss-making behemoths, religious coercion, ethnic cleansing (q.v. al-Ahawaz region), etc. Never mind that though.
His verbal defecation came as no surprise. What IS astonishing, however, is that many lap it up. They are blissfully unaware of the fact that the "Zionist entity" is not some phantom regime ruling the roost from afar; rather, it's a country of seven million people who--unless ethnically cleansed by a vastly superior adversary--are not going anywhere. He further forgets that the Jewish nation is today more numerous and stronger is every way that ever before in our 6,000-year-long history.
Or IS he unaware of the foregoing? Sure enough, he is a simpleton, unversed in general knowledge, never mind the finesse of sociology, economics, diplomacy, science and so on. However, not even to him is the reality on the ground totally recondite. Why does he spout such nonsense, then? For the same reason his Arab counterparts and clergy do: He needs Israel.
I'd still like to bomb his ass to smithereens though.
As for me, yes, I'm still very much alive and enjoying the good life... - the VERY good life

So, the English navy "sailors" who had been caught by Iran trespassing its waters and subsequently released amid much commotion, posturing and politicking had a news conference at which they whinged about their supposed mistreatment at the hands of the Iranians.
Just a few points:
(1) If you enter a country's territory (including its waters) without due permission from its authorities--particularly if you are military personnel in full army gear and your country is at a state of heightened political tension with the other--, you can expect to be arrested, detained, interrogated, tried and very probably imprisoned before being deported... - if not indeed executed on charges of espionage.
Could one even begin to imagine what would happen if Iranian marines were to be caught in English territorial waters or, for that matter, anywhere outside the immediate propinquity of Iran?!
I'd say these "sailors" should be on their hands and knees thanking the Iranians and deity(ies) of their choice that they got off so lightly, instead of whinging like a bunch of female sexual organs.
(2) Ah, but they dispute they were ever IN Iranian territorial waters. En b'3ayah! I am certain we are all well aware of what Britain`s closest ally--the United States--does to its prisoners in places like Guantanamo and hundreds of secret interrogation centers the world over. And we also know that Britain takes a very active part in those activities, too. So, even if they were maltreated, this is but another example of the pot calling the kettle black.
(3) But were these toysoldiers really abused as they claim? Now, I am absolutely no fan of the Teh'ran Monkey but let's give credit where it's due! Iran frequently filmed the "sailors" and showed footage of them to the world. I can't speak for everyone, by my impression was that the men and woman in the footage did not look the slightest bit tortured or abused at any point. Perhaps a tad homesick but hey! don't do the crime if you can't do the time!
Why don`t the ghastly Teabags try selling their fairytales to someone else!
Here's something for you, you slimy limeys:
