Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran use blood-curling, incendiary and genocidal rhetoric daily. Then they claim it is all in the name of peace and justice. Useful infidels in the West immediately rush to explain the nuance of the rhetoric, typically in three stages:
1) Context: Incitement to genocide, while most unfortunate, cannot be seen in a vacuum. It is often a reaction to a complex political situation which has to be understood.
2) Minimization: Incitement to genocide should not be taken literally. After all, it is just heated rhetoric voiced for internal consumption.
3) Casualness: Even if incitement to genocide is literal, they don’t have the power to carry it out. So stop making such a big fuss.

I've run into this alot. "Ahmadinejad never called for the extermination of Israel. It was a mistranslation from Pharsi." I like the term the author uses:
"Useful infidels in the West".
Sound like anyone you know?

I believe I have seen the comment, "It was a mistranslation from Pharsi." right here on the vine. As well as towing the line that Iran is enriching only for peaceful means.

Right, aRTieA, it has been on the Vine, and also in the news. It's the semi-official position of the "useful infidels".
