    It wasn't Carter's fault.
    It was the French government's fault for giving that bastard Khomeini sanctuary. He should have been executed by Mossad, just think how much different the world would have been if that evil sod had been eliminated.

    Revealed: Mossad was asked to kill Ayatollah Khomeini

    Book by former Mossad official Yossi Alpher details secret relationships with Irans Shahs and an unusual request to take the life of the revolutionary Ayatollah.

    Ronen Bergman|Published: 05.15.15 , 12:09

    In a shocking revelation at a special conference at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, it was revealed that former Iranian Prime Minister Shapour Bakhtiar, the last prime minister before the Islamic Revolution, asked Mossad agents in Tehran to assassinate the leader of the Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini.

    The new information was revealed with the release of a new book from Yossi Alpher, a former Mossad official. In it's pages, Alpher saying that Eliezer Tzafrir received the request from Bakhtiar in January 1979 to kill Khomeini who was living in Paris at the time after being deported from Iraq.



    Mossad agents briefly considered a request to assassinate Ayatollah Khomeini.

    Iraq offered to hand Khomeini to the Shah in Iran to be executed, but the leader refused and the revolutionary found asylum in France. Israel maintained a top secret relationship with the Shahs of Iran and carried out deals that included extensive sales of arms produced in Israeli factories. Additionally, the two countries created an intimate relationship in the field of intelligence. After Tzafrir received the request of serious implications, the message was passed on to Mossad officials in Tel Aviv who met to discuss their options.

    "Mossad director Yitzhak Hofi announced at the beginning of the meeting that wasn't prone to support the request on moral grounds but asked to hear the opinions of those who were present," said Alpher. "I told the heads of the Mossad that I had difficulty supporting the request because we didn't know enough about who and what Khomeini was. I really regret not supporting that request."

    Saudi Arabia Crucifies Murderer While Human Rights Spat With Canada Escalates

    The execution comes at a time when a row over Saudi Arabia's human rights record escalates between Canada and Saudi Arabia

    https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-...nada-1.6361945

    Another insane regime propped up by the USA.

    How much have they spent on F35s ?

    In the meantime, Saudi Arabia crucified Elias Abulkalaam Jamaleddeen, from Myanmar, on account of breaking into a woman's home, shooting inside the house, and stabbing her multiple times and killing her, attempting to steal other weapons from a different house, another attempted stabbing and attempted rape, Bloomberg reported.

    Capital punishment is commonplace in Saudi Arabia, but crucifixion, which entails hanging an executed person's body on a cross for the public to see, is not.

    Is Canada also opposed to the death penalty in the US?

    Maybe they only crucified him a little bit.

    Every sane person is opposed to capital punishment. It's simply murder by a more powerful gang.

    What rhetoric was that? Telling the truth shouldn't get you a jail sentence and lashes on the back but they do in Saudi. Nothing changes if nobody pushes for change.

    Lashes are carried out with a Koran under the arm to limit range of motion and they are not allowed to break the skin. I am sure it hurts and is humiliating, but they don't have a large prison population.

    Telling the truth? They have access to leadership every week in every province.. called Majlis.

    I've seen the results of those lashes. I can't imagine how much worse they could be without that trusty god book limiting the arm swing. Access to leadership does what exactly? If he stood in front of leadership and said the very same things what do you imagine the out come would have been? Change...or an example made of him for daring to bring up their human rights violations?

    Why are you defending barbarity?

    Majlis is the place to take your grievances.. Did you see someone who was lashed in Saudi Arabia?
