Iranian VP Blames “Zionists” for Illegal Drug Trade

Now we know why we are losing the global war on drugs — it’s the fault of the Zionists!  Read the article below from JTA:

An Iranian vice president blamed “Zionists” for the global drug trade and said the Talmud encourages promoting addiction in non-Jewish communities. Iranian First Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi made the comments Tuesday as part of ceremonies marking International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking in Tehran.

He said evidence of the “Zionists'” direct involvement in illicit drugs is that fact that “you cannot find a single addict among the Zionists,” the semi-official Iranian FARS news service reported. Referring to the Talmud, he said, “The book teaches them how to destroy non-Jews so as to protect an embryo in the womb of a Jewish mother.”

I guess I need to reade my Talmud a little more carefully.  And heed Abe Foxman’s words quoted later in the article:

“To all those who thought that anti-Semitism is a thing of the past, certainly this makes it very clear that it is alive and well again.  What makes it more sinister and dangerous is the fact that it comes from a leader of a country that has vowed to destroy the Jewish state, and is making efforts to obtain the means to do it,” ADL National Director Abe Foxman said in a statement.
