Beck, who was deemed too extreme even for Fox television after 400 advertisers pulled their commercials from his show earlier this year, had come to Jerusalem to "restore courage" to the Jewish state and salute Israelis as "people who stand against the entire tide of global opinion". "The world is burning," he said. "Whatever we've grown to think is solid and strong and durable is under siege. The threats are mounting. The evil is growing. Darkness is falling."

I didn't realize Beck had been canned. Who's paying for his antics now?

That article, especially the quote you posted Tim, was a complete hit-piece on Beck. His contract with Fox News ended and he decided not to sign a new one. You can't blame a guy for leaving when he has run his own company for everything else he does except for one area, TV, where he worked for someone else. Despite the hit-piece, before it ended, his show was still beating every one of his competitors in his time slot, and it was even beating several of the prime time shows of other networks. Furthermore, are the article's claims of many empty seats actually valid? We know the media tried to treat the massive crowd at last year's Restoring Honor event as a few thousand people when it reality it was tens to even hundreds of thousands of people.

He has long claimed to be a friend of Israel. Many Israelis are not so sure they want that kind of friend. Others are happy to have almost any allie

I heard about this vaguely. I'm not sure it's a Tea Party thing so much as a Glenn Beck thing, although I think Beck has also self-identified as a Tea Partier.

If you value your intelligence and sanity, I would urge you not to pay attention to Glenn Beck.

If Beck is the dangerous one, why is that the people around him receive death threats just for being associated with him and/or Israel??

The three groups that it's ok in this P.C. world to bash and threaten: conservatives, Christians, and Jews.

Right, just because Glenn Beck has identified with the tea party doesn't mean that everything he does becomes a tea party event.

I see, a guy is an absolute jerk pretty much bashing anyone who disagrees with him, and that some people don't like him is evidence of prejudice against conservatives>

OH.. and those "bashing" him above were Jews, so not sure how you get that its "OK" to bash conservatives, Christians and Jews.

Because it is. It's conservatives who are bigoted, racist, or homophobic (just pick the appropriate word for the situation). If comments like how Herman Cain is an Uncle Tom were said about a black liberal, the person who said that would be excoriated. But it's ok to make those comments about a black conservative. Christians are constantly being called bigoted and intolerant for disagreeing with things like whether or not women should be pastors, yet the fact that Islam requires their women to be covered from head to toe is completely ignored. The things still today said about Jews is just downright vile. People think it's ok to wipe the Jews off the map. And as was seen with Beck's event in Israel, people will be threatened or even killed if they chose to even state that Jews have a right to exist. Yet Israel still gets condemned for trying to defend themselves instead of condemning the people who are trying to wipe them out.

Nope, Israel has absolutely nothing to worry about.

TEHRAN, Iran – The Iranian president said on Friday there will be no room for Israel in the region after the formation of a Palestinian state, and that once the state is established, the liberation of all Palestinian lands should follow.

The comments by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reflected his typical anti-Israeli rhetoric, which has drawn international condemnation since he first said in 2005 that Israel should be "wiped off the map."

Ahmadinejad spoke at a Tehran ceremony following nationwide pro-Palestinian rallies marking Quds Day. Quds is the Arabic word for Jerusalem. The annual demonstration is an occasion for Iranian officials to show off their support for Palestinians and condemn archenemy Israel.

The remarks come as the Palestinians are pushing this year to achieve recognition at the United Nations during the General Assembly meeting in September. The statehood bid comes amid stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations and although the U.N. vote in New York will be largely symbolic, the Palestinians believe it will send a powerful message to Israel.

"Do not assume you will be boosted with a (U.N.) recognition of a Palestinian state," Ahmadinejad said, addressing Israel. "There is no room for you in the region."

"Recognition of a Palestinian state is the first step in the liberation of the entire Palestine," he added.

Since the 1979 Islamic revolution that brought hardline Islamists to power in Tehran, Iran's leadership has been hostile to Israel, backing anti-Israel groups like the Palestinian Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah.

Ahmadinejad also urged the West to stop supporting Israel.

"You (the West) and the Zionist regime will have no base in the Middle East," he warned, and dismissed the West's support for a two-state solution as a tactic meant "to save" Israel.

Reiterating his anti-Holocaust rhetoric, Ahmadinejad also said Israel was created on lies and added, "the Zionist regime is the axis of unity among all thieves and criminals of the world."

He also called on rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas to form as strong, unified state and not "consider it sufficient to have minor and weak governments in a small area."

In 2007, the militant Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip, leaving Fatah only in control of the West Bank.

Iran faces increased pressure from the West over its controversial nuclear program that Israel, the United States and others contend is intended for nuclear weapons making. Tehran denies the charge, insisting the program is for peaceful purposes only, such as generating power.

Tens of thousands attended the Quds Day rally in Tehran. State TV said millions of Iranians participated in the rallies in cities and towns across Iran.
