Iran arrests three over billboard honoring Iranian soldiers that mistakenly showed Israeli soldiers

12

This is rich. For once we see the Iranian authorities doing something that is good and honorable — honoring Israeli soldiers for their sacrifice. Iranian leaders constantly vow to destroy Israel and chant “Death to Israel,” but apparently some of them can’t even distinguish Israeli soldiers from their own. Notice also that these vicious misogynists edited out the female soldier. Of course.

“3 arrested over botched Iranian ad featuring Israeli soldiers,” Israel Hayom, September 30, 2018:

Iranian authorities say they have detained three people who were responsible for the blunder in which a billboard memorializing fallen Iranian soldiers mistakenly featured a photo of Israeli troops instead.

Media reports quoted the judiciary chief of the southern city of Shiraz, Ali Salehi, as saying on Friday that prosecutors were conducting preliminary investigations in the case.

The banner went up in Shiraz as part of the annual week-long commemoration events in memory of Iranian soldiers killed during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. This year, the 30th anniversary of the end of the war, the events held particular significance.

The original photo showed the backs of one female and three male Israeli soldiers standing on a hilltop near Hebron. It was edited to remove the female soldier and to change the backdrop to clouds, apparently to make the soldiers appear they were looking toward heaven. Farsi text was also added in praise of their sacrifice….

Here’s a theory that readily be the case. Ireene has the most cowardly of “soldiers”, within the entirety of the world. Moreover, they have the look of a cross-bred monkey pig. NO way to have actually pictured an ireenian soldier that wouldn’t have been a laughing stock

It shows that we are all human , whether the soldiers are on one side or the other, they are all just people. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all have a kumbaya moment and talk it all out , and find a peaceful solution to our issues with each other? It will never happen , isla m is a religio n based on War and only War. As long as isla m exists there will never ever be peace, ever. May they never have peace. May they all burn on earth and then later in hellfire, may they never have peace.

That billboard should have caused a few of the mullah’s turbans to unwind.

You can’t make up what is going on these days.
It’ll be “A Trump/Zionist plot” before they finish up with it.
They’ll execute the poor dumb mutts what put it up for treason.

It’s is astounding at how some behaviors of Democrats, ANTIFA and Islam truly are the same.
Many are wondering when the left will begin the beheadings.
