The group, the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, has long been designated as a terrorist group by the United States, accused of killing American servicemen and contractors in the 1970s and supporting the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in 1980.

The attacks, which have killed five Iranian nuclear scientists since 2007 and may have destroyed a missile research and development site, have been carried out in dramatic fashion, with motorcycle-borne assailants often attaching small magnetic bombs to the exterior of the victims’ cars.

U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Obama administration is aware of the assassination campaign but has no direct involvement.

How so? Governments work with enemies of their allies all the time.

If working with a group is condoning everything they've ever done, the United States are responsible for dozens if not hundreds of millions of deaths in the last century. Even the worst dictators you can think of are small time compared to that.

I'm not going to shed any tears on the day Israel has no more friends and the Palestinians get their country back. And hopefully send all the Jews to live in France, preferably at phml's house.

Not only has Israel done wrong, but US even admits they knew about it, didn't do shit about it, and somehow I know tax dollars might have gone to this, even if it was indirectly by about 10-15 degrees.

As far as I'm concerned, you guys can exterminate each other and leave the world to the rest of us. As I've already said, your religious bullshit bores me, and my money being spent on your fictional problems angers me.

Maes, can you please translate the text on that video to English? I'm curious what it says, but have no idea what it says, due to not knowing Greek. I'd run it through Google Translate, but I can't just copy-paste it in, as it's part of the video, not actual text data. Due to my unfamiliarity with the Greek alphabet, I can't just type it in either.

Well the Palestinians (both Muslims and Jews) were living fairly peacefully in Palestine before European Jews came and forced them off their land using terror tactics, and continue to use weapons bought with billions of dollars in aid to enforce even more land grabs as of this day, while blaming it on the victims.

Nor would I be surprised if the Whitehouse is covering up the tracks and we were involved as well.

From Wikipedia -
"In Jewish eschatology, the term came to refer to a future Jewish King from the Davidic line, who will be "anointed" with holy anointing oil and rule the Jewish people during the Messianic Age. Belief in the eventual coming of a future messiah is a fundamental part of Judaism, and is one of Maimonides' 13 Principles of Faith. In Judaism, the Messiah is not considered to be God or a Son of God.

That's according to a scripture which was probably written centuries later when the State church of the Roman Empire standardized the bible's content.

"One of the most common biblical manuscripts used to make our modern English translations is known today as the Nestle Text. Yet it was Prof. Eberhard Nestle himself who warned us in his Einfhrung in die Textkritik des griechischen Testaments: "Learned men, so called Correctores were, following the church meeting at Nicea 325 AD, selected by the church authorities to scrutinize the sacred texts and rewrite them in order to correct their meaning in accordance with the views which the church had just sanctioned." When the Church of Constantine endeavored to make the teachings of the New Covenant in sync with fourth century Roman Pagan thought and culture, to ignore the facts with respect to the manner in which the corrupters of the Word recreated the message of the scriptures in order to make it compatible to church doctrine, is to make oneself disingenuous to the very Son of God to whom we proclaim to be faithful to."

"The truth and the facts to the matter is very clearly expressed in the words of Prof. Bart D. Ehrman in his book, The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture, where he warns us that: "...theological disputes, specifically disputes over Christology, prompted Christian scribes to alter the words of scripture in order to make them more serviceable for the polemical task. Scribes modified their manuscripts to make them more patently ‘orthodox’ and less susceptible to ‘abuse’ by the opponents of orthodoxy" -- which orthodoxy was to bring the text of the Bible into conformity with the doctrines and tenets of the Church of the Roman Emperor Constantine. To close our hearts and minds to the facts, and ignore the truth, is from a New Covenant perspective synonymous with relinquishing any claim whatsoever with respect to being a follower of Jesus."

Big, fat meh. Nearly any power will use terrorist methods when pushed far enough. Iran didn't have to do much pushing, but they're good at looking scary.

The KLA was regarded by the US as a terrorist group until 1998 when it was de-listed for classified reasons,[9][10] and then the UK and the US lobbied France to do the same.[11] The US then cultivated diplomatic relationships with the KLA leaders.[10][12]
