Netanyahu cartoon: Iran ‘just much bigger’ IS

Undaunted by the awkward failure of a previous propaganda cartoon, Israeli authorities had another crack at animation with a short clip released Tuesday that aimed to draw similarities between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic State Group.

The video, just 28 seconds long, was published on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s social media pages Tuesday and argued that allowing Iran to obtain nuclear weapons would be even worse than giving nukes to the jihadist IS group — also known as ISIS — that has rampaged across Iraq and Syria brutally murdering opponents in its path

“Imagine how dangerous Islamic State would be if it had armored divisions, fighter jets and ballistic missiles. Imagine Islamic State building atomic bombs,” the video continues and then plays up Iran’s full national title, calling it the “Islamic State of Iran” instead of “Republic.”

“Well, maybe it’s not that hard to imagine,” the narrator says, and finishes with the punchline slogan, “The Islamic State of Iran. Like ISIS. Just much bigger.”

Spoiling for a fight much? This push has been going on for the last decade.

What is so hypocritical is that Israel is a nuclear power with fighter jets and an arsenal of weapons and propaganda. They want to wipe Iran off the face ofcthe Earth and intend to do it. They just want the approval of the world to vaporize a Caucasian, educated, advanced civilization, and leave it a failed, unstable stste like, what we did to Iraq.

But why? Is it the oil or the land? Or just the lust of aggression and pugilenc impulse.

I cant believe the fucking, God Of Abraham, dictates these policies. This is Satanic if you ask me.

I don't really believe in either entity but this just seems on the evil side. I cop to being dramatic.
