“Zarif responded overnight on Twitter, calling Netanyahu’s comments ‘bigoted lies’ and saying Iran had saved the Jews on three occasions in history.”
Just as Putin said to Netanyahu, “We now live in a different world. Let’s talk about that now.” Yes. In today’s world, Iran has repeatedly vowed to destroy Israel, wipe it off the map. Zarif’s self-righteous hectoring of Netanyahu doesn’t change that.

“Iran FM says Netanyahu faking history and Jewish faith,” AFP, March 13, 2017 (thanks to Todd):
Tehran (AFP) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif accused Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu of ignorance about history and the Jewish faith on Monday after he said ancient Persian rulers tried to destroy the Jews.
In a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, Netanyahu said Persia had made “an attempt to destroy the Jewish people that did not succeed” some 2,500 years ago, an event commemorated by the Jewish holiday of Purim over the weekend.
Zarif responded overnight on Twitter, calling Netanyahu’s comments “bigoted lies” and saying Iran had saved the Jews on three occasions in history.
“Netanyahu resorting to fake history and falsifying Torah. Force of habit,” he tweeted.
He linked to longer comments in which he said the Israeli premier “distorts the realities of today, but also distorts the past –- including Jewish scripture”.
“The Book of Esther tells how Xerxes I saved Jews from a plot hatched by Haman the Agagite, which is marked on this very day.
“Again, during the time of Cyrus the Great, an Iranian king saved the Jews — this time from captivity in Babylon; and during the Second World War, when Jews were being slaughtered in Europe, Iran gladly took them in,” Zarif wrote.
Netanyahu had sought to link ancient history to the present day, saying Iran was again seeking “to destroy the state of the Jews”.
Putin tried to return the conversation to the present day, saying the events described took place “in the fifth century B.C. We now live in a different world. Let us talk about that now.”…

Often their lies are so stupid I find myself wondering if they’re so arrogant they believe any old lie will fool the kafir al najjis.

That is the case, I am sure, they lie so often to each other, which gets accepted as to question islam is an offence punishable by death. So, when dealing with non muslims, they stupidly think they same rules apply to them. They seen shocked when they find out they are not.

Good point, there seems to be some kind of competition, to tell an even bigger lie than before. The left does it too.

There is a commonality between all oppressive regimes, islam, socialism, democrats, in that the truth cannot be told, a lie with violent enforcement is normal.

Like the ancient Persian king Cyrus has anything to do w/the slaves of the Arabpig death cult called Iranians now.
I remember former President of Iran Assminijihad stating his desire to “erase Israel from the pages of history” I don’t remember any muslums anywhere protesting the fact.

The disgusting spectacle on Sunday in Jordan of Arabs/Muslims welcoming with unbridled enthusiasm the release of the murderer of the 7 Jewish schoolgirls in 1997.
I am even more convinced than ever before that peace with these Savages, whether with those living among us or surrounding us in the 23 Arab/Muslim states is not only impossible, but downright repulsive.
Typical of Arab/Muslim behavior of the last decades.

The Iran of today, its society and culture enslaved by Islam, does not speak for the King Cyrus of the Hebrew Bible or his people.

Iran, read: Islam, wants Israel gone. But we in the gullible west believe Iran, nicest folk, misunderstood folk. Blame Bibi, blame Israel. Everyone knows Islam gets a bad rap. After Obama loved on them so hard they really can’t be that bad. Yes, it’s Bibi. He is the bad guy. It’s poor Iran we need to feel sorry for. It’s those Jews! It’s slways been those Jews. Making life so uncomfortable for those poor, peace-seeking, Islamists.
Somebody should tell Bibi that he needs to be more sensitive.

Taqiya – Islamic Deception. Muslims are taught to deceive the kuffar (non-Muslim) about their true beliefs in order to defend the cause of Islam and Jihad. This deception called – taqiya.

Muslims are the dumbest bleeding people on the planet except their whore that rides them, the leftist/Illuminati/Papal/Islamist. The Beast of Islam is the lyingist beast and satan worshipping filth the earth has ever seen.. The Prophet Joel says the earth is a Garden of Eden in front of them and a desolation behind them. These muslims destroy everything they touch and everything they touch is stolen from others… but, now that God has restored the Hebrew people to their land and His city of Jerusalem it is the end time sign of their destruction and they shall die with the elitist by the fire and Brimstone He shall fell them with on the mountains of Israel when in the Islamist arrogance they try and take it one last time! And for all the rest of these filthy Islamist Beast and its’ Babylonyish elitist killer Whore leftist/Papist/Islamist the Lord will call for a sword of the Nations and those not joined to these filth of Satan to destroy them. Praise God. Ezekiel 38 and 39

As Bill O’Reilly says, he gave up arguing with liberals even when they contradict what they said on camera. In other words, there is nothing Israel could say or do to befriend their enemies. Iran’s fanatical oligarchy must be destroyed for any peace to happen. Although, N.Korea is just as insane, they don’t attack Jews/Israel.

Please, Xerxes SIGNED Haman’s decree calling for the destruction and murder of the Jews! He only changed his mind when Esther asked him to. Haman didn’t do that all by himself. And Netanyahu is a scholar of Torah so he definitely knows what he’s talking about.
In the twelfth year of King Xerxes, in the first month, the month of Nisan, the pur (that is, the lot) was cast in the presence of Haman to select a day and month. And the lot fell on[a] the twelfth month, the month of Adar.
Then Haman said to King Xerxes, “There is a certain people dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom who keep themselves separate. Their customs are different from those of all other people, and they do not obey the king’s laws; it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them. 9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will give ten thousand talents[b] of silver to the king’s administrators for the royal treasury.”
So the KING took his signet ring from his finger and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews. 11 “Keep the money,” the king said to Haman, “and DO WITH THE PEOPLE AS YOU PLEASE.” Esther 3: 7-10

But Haman mis-represented the truth to Xerxes and Xerxes reversed his decision once the facts came to light. It’s strange to think this is the same Xerxes who tried to invade Greece.

He wasn’t very effective then, if he could be hoodwinked so quickly.
