The Palestine conference in Tehran: discourse that does not get reported in Zionist media

It is amazing how much Zionists control the media coverage (and congressional deliberations and decisions) in the US.  How many of you, for example, were aware that the Supreme Guide in Iran spoke against the slogan of "throwing the Jews into the sea" and explicitly said that it was not "their intentions".  In fact, comrade Ibrahim Amin in Al-Akhbar wrote that this ostensible goal was never a stated goal for any serious resistance group in the region and yet Zionist hoodlums made it out to be a cherished goals for Arabs when no Arab was found to have made it (I only found one sentence uttered by the founder of the Muslim Brothers, Hasan Al-Banna in 1948 in Al-Musawwar--research the archives here).  Of course, the Israeli military (air force to be exact) gave a military communique-order in 1967 in which it explicitly and categorically called for pushing the Arabs into the desert (you may find it in Michael Oren's Six Days of War--again, search the archives here).  It was mentioned in passing and the impulses of ethnic cleansing of Zionists never get attention in Western media.  In other words, if Khamenei said: we don't want to throw Jews into the sea, it is not news.  But if some unknown unidentified Muslims in a village in some faraway land said it would be front page story in the New York Times.  Now, of course, the conference in Tehran is empty and has no agenda except the delivery of long boring speeches.  But my favorite part of the entire conference was the presence of Ahmad Chalabi there. That was quite a picture.  I mean, here is the man who was for a while in the 1990s and beyond the hope of Zionists in the US who thought he would be the man who could bring peace between Iraq and Israel, and now he is a lackey of Iran and Muqtada As-Sadr.  The speech by Khalid Mish`al only confirms the news of rift between Hamas and the Syrian regime although his speech contained some praise for the Syrian government as well.
