Iran calls for assasination of Netanyahu's children

(If you don't know who Netanyahu is, he's the Prime Minister of Israel.  Not exactly the same thing as president, but kind of equivalent.)

This story, by the Washington Free Beacon, popped up briefly on Google's news aggregator, then disappeared.

Iran is encouraging its terror allies to pursue the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s children by publishing personal information about them, including photographs of the kids lined up in crosshairs, and declaring, “We must await the hunt of Hezbollah.”

The publication of the personal information and biographies of Netanyahu’s children follows an Israeli airstrike last week that killed several key Hezbollah leaders and an Iranian commander affiliated with the country’s hardline Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Iranian military leaders affiliated with the IRGC threatened in recent days harsh retaliation for the strike and promised to amp up support for Hezbollah as well as Palestinian terrorist organizations.

The information was originally published in Farsi by an Iranian website affiliated with the IRGC and quickly republished by Iran’s state-controlled Fars News Agency.

You might think this would be quickly picked up by every major newspaper; but you'd be wrong. Just imagine for a moment if Obama's girls had been threatened, instead. Searching the web, only Fox, The Times of Israel, Britain's Daily Mail, and a handful of other international (mainly Jewish) newsites are carrying it.

All the U.S. papers instead have headlines similar to this:  "White House unhinged over Netanyahu speech" to Congress.

The Daily Mail provides a little more information on the threats made by Iran:

Mashregh News ran pictures of both Yair and Avner Netanyahu with their father and mother, Sara, depicting them in sniper's crosshairs and included what they described as a 'detailed intelligence plan' of their movements.The article on the Farsi site said that the pair were acceptable targets for assassination due to their links to top Israeli leaders...

It also describes them as 'excellences of Zionism' and ends the article in red letters with the words: 'We must await the hunt of Hezbollah.'

And as you might expect, the Times of Israel has the most complete account, including a copy of the photo from the Mashregh News.
