This sounds like desperate spin by the Zionist state. Evidence, please: Venezuela and Bolivia are supplying Iran with uranium for its nuclear program, according to a secret Israeli government report obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

Any fear of organising
Like I report in my book, The Blogging Revolution, the Islamic Republic is a truly repressive web nation: Authorities in Iran have banned popular social-networking site Facebook until after the Islamic Republic’s presidential election in mid-June. Iranian media has reported that the ban comes as a result of the success President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad opponent Mir-Hossein…
A meeting of the minds
Pakistan’s finest journalist on militancy, Syed Saleem Shahzad, on the region’s dark future: The militants plan to establish a new regional alliance. In this regard, Iranian Jundullah (Army of God) leader Abdul Malik Rigi is due to meet an al-Qaeda emissary in the near future near a Pakistani Balochistan coastal town to lay the foundation…
So leave then
Fear works: Some 23 percent of Israelis would consider leaving the country if Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, according to a poll conducted on behalf of the Center for Iranian Studies at Tel Aviv University. This quote is the key: “The findings are worrying because they reflect an exaggerated and unnecessary fear,” Prof. David Menashri,…
Who is bombing whom here?
The Angry Arab: So Zionist and Saudi media are insisting that people of the world should feel threatened by the Iranian missile test. Saudi media (echoing as usual the Zionist handlers) are citing “experts” (typically in Zionist bastions in the West) to the effect that the missile test is a threat “not only to Israel.”…

Burg makes clear in his book that evoking…

Palestine, Israel and freedom of speech: striking at the heart of liberal democracies
