Nutty Iranian site makes fun of Jews by quoting nutty Christian site

One of Iran's PressTV's antisemitic columnists writes:

Will a Zionist apocalypse erupt during the coming two years?

Some Zionists seem to think so. They are predicting that an unusual series of lunar eclipses or “blood moons” expected in 2014 and 2015 augurs war and disaster on an epic scale.

One Zionist website warns: “It cannot be regarded as coincidence that all four blood moons of 2014/15 occur on religious festivals of Israel, together with two eclipses of the sun also on important days in 2015...According to NASA - Four 'blood-red' TOTAL lunar eclipses WILL fall again on Passover and Sukkoth in 2014 and 2015… the same back-to-back occurrences at the time of 1492, 1948 and 1967” (sic).

Meaning? “The events may involve war in the Middle East and a financial crisis around the world that will affect the land of Israel or the Jewish elite in New York City.”

These blood-moonbat Zionists think that 2014 or 2015 will go down in history alongside 1492 (the year that Jews, along with Muslims, were expelled from Spain), 1948 (the creation of the Zionist entity) and 1967 (the Zionist invasion and occupation of Jerusalem).

Citing a satanic Rothschild-financed hoax, the so-called Scofield Bible, these Zionists hope that 2014 or 2015 will bring a major Middle East war that will enable the Zionists to finish the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, demolish the al-Aqsa mosque, build a Zionist temple on the ruins of the mosque, and consecrate it with blood sacrifices – beginning with the slaughter of a pink heifer.

Are the Zionists insane? Obviously. But unfortunately, the ongoing influence of insanity on world affairs cannot be discounted.

If the Zionists believe blood moons bring war and financial crisis, they may just decide to plunge the world into war and financial crisis as a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.
The source for this is a Christian webpage called "Pray4Zion."

The Talmud does mention that eclipses are bad omens, but this is one of those situations where - like Talmudic medicine cures - very few people take them seriously nowadays, even among the religious. As far as I know, eclipses that are coincidental with holidays are not considered any worse than any others. Certainly no one plans wars for eclipses!

Now, are there going to be lunar eclipses for both Passover and Sukkot in 2014 and 2015?

Keep in mind that in the Jewish lunar calendar, the first days of those holidays are always within a day of the full moon, and lunar eclipses always occur on the full moon.

NASA says that April 15, 2014 at around 7 AM GMT, there will be a total lunar eclipse visible in the Pacific and the Americas. it is the first day of Passover.

October 8, 2014 at around 11 AM GMT, is several hours before Sukkot.

April 4, 2015, noontime GMT, is the first day of Passover.

September 28, 2015, around 3 AM GMT, is the first day of Sukkot.

Consecutive lunar eclipses tend to occur around six months apart, so while this seems like an astonishing coincidence, it is really only a minor coincidence. If a total lunar eclipse is seen in April during Passover, the chances that it will occur in October during Sukkot as well are pretty high.

In 1967, the eclipse occurred several hours before Passover in Israel and North America. The other one did occur during Sukkot.

There were no lunar eclipses visible in Jerusalem or New York in 1948. 1492 did have two lunar eclipses in April and October but it is hard to see if they coincided with the holidays.

The real irony is that an Iranian website is accusing Jews of acting superstitiously to cause wars, when Shiite Islam seems to want to bring the 12th Mahdi by whatever means they can.
