I don't know if this is true or not, but it could be. It makes sense to me, from a psychological viewpoint.

No one can hate anything "out there" unless it it within you. You have disowned it as a participant in your inner family, and have condemned it to live in the subconscious world. But, not surprisingly, the subconscious personalities who have been silenced and disowned "pull in" others in the outer world to speak for them.

If Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is Jewish or not, is actually not relevant.  There is clearly a subpersonality within Ahmadinejad that has something powerful to say about Jews or what they mean to that subpersonality. Anyone in the Muslim world who has difficulties with the Jewish people are being spoken to by one of their own disowned personalities. And vica-versa...if Jewish people are triggered by Muslims, know the same is true.

This subpersonality of Ahmadinejad has something it needs to get out, but Ahmadinejad won't let it out or listen. This magnet subpersonality, whatever is it, keeps pulling the issue of Jews or liberals or Americans into the scenario, and will continue to until it is heard and understood.

If we, all of us, including Ahmadinejad, do not embrace ALL of who we are...just embrace, NOT BECOME...our buried subpersonalities who need to be embraced will make sure that they live in our lives through others. THEY create the scenario of our outer life.

Let's say Ahmadinejad DOES have a Jewish religious past and a cultural past that is Jewish. Let's just play that scenario out.  He will never become Jewish again...it is not his belief anymore. He is a Muslim man. But, a speck of himself may still relate to the Jewish experience or the Jewish people in some manner. Just a tiny speck. It will NEVER take him over, even if it was free and living in Ahmadinejad's conscious world. The speck simply wants to be heard and recognized and understood, as small as it is.

Ahmadinejad, at his current level of awareness, doesn't even know this speck of a subpersonality exists within himself, but still, nonetheless, he hates that speck with a passion. He pushed it underground and took it's voice away. To compensate, the underground subpersonalities who live in the subconscious have a power, an extreme power, that the conscious subpersonalities have not be given the privilege of having. In exchange for losing their voice and for us not being able to "feel" their presence in our inner lives, they seem to have the power of a magnet. Amazing as it is, they pull in like-minded others in the outer world to speak for them. And, so the outer world complies and provides this subpersonality all the ammunition it needs to try to tug at Ahmadinejad's ear so that he will listen. It HAS something to SAY.  Each time the outer Jewish world speaks, the inner speck stirs and is trying to say something; something similar to something that this Jewish world believes in.   Each time this subpersonality stirs, Ahmadinejad wants to silence it.  He doesn't even know where the discomfort is coming from, so how to silence it, you ask?  Because of his level of awareness, his solution is: silence the outer Jewish world.  He's attacking his problem from the wrong direction, and with an entirely wrong approach.

Ahmadinejad doesn't want to hear what the Jewish community has to say. As a whole, he cringes and is irritated by the outer Jewish world. He becomes uncomfortable and really can't place the cause of it. He doesn't understand that it is embrace, not rejection, that is needed here.  He doesn't understand that the discomfort is coming from within him; he doesn't understand that the solution to this intense discomfort is also within him.

To embrace a speck of dust of a subpersonality; only then will everything change for him. When he makes peace with that speck part of him, he will then be able to make peace with the entire Jewish community out there. In the meantime, though, his level of inner awareness, which is very low, creates a dangerous outer world around him. Remember my earlier post, "The outer world is an inside out projection of the inner world".

"What you resist persists". Or, in other words, "what you choose not to honor within yourself is still within you.  You may not "feel" it in yourself, because the subconscious personalities can't communicate with us through feelings or speech (only the concious ones can).  But, they WILL get your attention in their own powerful way.  What you push down into the underground will manifest in your outer world". 

Keep in mind, though, we have all drawn Mr. Ahmadinejad into our lives, like him or not. And so have the Jewish people, and the Muslim world. And, some of us, like myself, dislike him intensely. He irritates me to no end, and makes me cringe. I am certain that my inner racist, so disowned, is calling out to me. I can't feel my inner racist, and can't hear it, because I have shoved it down so far.  At times I try to listen to its rhetoric, but am so frightened or turned off by racism or shocked that such thoughts or senitments even exist within me causes me (my collective primary subpersonalities) to stop myself from listening and stop that tiny subpersonality within me from speaking.  However, when the time comes that I finally DO own and honor, if you will, that speck of a self that I so wish to cut out of me, Ahmadinejad will no longer need to own it for me. "What I resist persists". And so it goes...for all of us.

"The pretext for establishing the Zionist regime is a lie," he said, "a lie which relies on an unreliable claim, a mythical claim, and the occupation of Palestine Israel's days were "numbered" and its regime is "dying," he added. 

And why does the U.S. continue to do nothing? This man is a threat. Do we have to wait for him to do something to prove it?

They've found it very safe and pleasant, no problems," said Bahman Kamali, founder of the federation. "Actually, the regime during [the time of reformist president Mohammad] Khatami and the regime now have been very good with Jewish people. There has not been any problem.

I suppose providing weapons to militant Hamas is very good for the Jewish people, too.

On a minor note: who let Joe Biden out of the time-out corner?
