According to Van Jones, an ignorant blowhard and ruling class ideologue on the fake news network CNN, Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, and the reason for that is that they say "death to all the Jews".
FACT CHECK: pants on fire.
REALITY: Iran has never said anything about "the Jews", let alone that they should all die. In fact, Iran has the largest Jewish minority in the Middle East after Israel, and it's not because the government has not been able to find them.
Iran makes a distinction between Judaism, which they regard as a religion, and Zionism, which they regard as a political ideology that they oppose. To quote Khamenei, the current Supreme Leader of Iran:
There are Jews living in various countries;in Iran Jews live respectably 'cuz its their own country but #Zionism is different from #Judaism. source
Quite a far cry from "death to all the Jews".
But I guess all's fair in manufacturing consent for senseless wars. And this guy is supposedly a "radical". And yet here he is lying for the war machine.
Everyone in the world is familiar with Islamic attitudes. I more than most. Of course, they disliked the Jews before Israel, simply because they're not Muslims. But that's quite a different matter from saying "kill the Jews", which is beyond the pale by any Islamic standard.
They just love the "death to" chants. Or "down with" as you may translate it. Here's a secret: people in the region are a bit melodramatic, and Iranians probably take the crown on that.
As usual, you're very wholesome.
