Protesters prevent unloading of Israeli ship

by Mola Nasredeen on

Hundreds of demonstrators, gathering at the Port of Oakland (USA) before dawn, prevented the unloading of an Israeli cargo ship.

The demonstrators, demanding an end to Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip, picketed at Berth 58, where a ship from Israel's Zim shipping line is scheduled to dock later today. The day shift of longshoremen agreed not to cross the picket line.

Hiding

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

behind women's skirts is a standard Islamist pastime! Remember Navab Safavi the murder and coward wore a chador. Islamists will do anything to further their degenerate ideology. Pretending to be women; hiding behind skirts included and then enjoy it.

IRI Groupies - Pack up your "kaseh-koozeh"

by Onlyiran on

and stop using the besieged people of Gaza for your sick propaganda purposes.  The blockade has been lifted:

now go find something else to shed crocodile tears for, and manufacture some other outrage to hide IRI's crimes.

I would say the same things to someone who popped up out of nowhere and attacked people like you do, trying to discredit their identities with no 'real' ID of their own, no avatar, and no submissions, especially attacking people who've established themselves here, and who I've worked with for years, whether  they were Reformist, Ahmadinejadist, Mossadeghi, Monarchist, Communist, Neocon, apolitical, or a member of MKO.

What is it you don't get? What more can I say to try to make you understand but:

There's really nothing more to say..

by fooladi on

for dishing out to agents of islamic regime on this site, what they have been dishing out to the rest of us Iranians for quite some time. Looks like a taste of ones own medicine is not particularly pleasent!

If the agents of islamic regime think they can silence me and others who expose them for who they are, by using the long honoured islamist technique of  hiding behind the skirt of a "woman", then "koorkhoondin". I am here to stay, so get used to me brothers and "sisters" :).

To you sister Rosie,  my response is: Javabe ablahan khamooshid!

Now go get your old Haiim farsi/english dictionary out, I hear it is the best :)

Welcome to GNN (Gaza News Network)

by Irani Irani on

It's truly touching that the goings-on in a little strip of land smaller than the San Fernando Valley and with a population less than Karaj so occupies the minds of some Iranians living in the U.S. There is no place in the world more important than Beautiful Gaza in terms of its contributions to science, technology, arts, architecture, literature--you name it. Oh, yeah.

Germany blasts minister's blocked entry to Gaza

by Mola Nasredeen on

Germany on Sunday slammed Israel for preventing Development Minister Dirk Niebel from entering the Gaza Strip to meet with Palestinian refugees during his current visit to the region.

"Refusing a German development minister entry to the Gaza Strip is a great foreign policy mistake on the part of the Israeli government," Niebel told the online edition of the Leipziger Volkszeitung newspaper. //news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100620/wl_mideast_afp/israelconflictgazagermany_20100620153536

Did the Israeli soldiers entertain this sister?

by pastor bill rennick on

The answer is no! Because Israelis are civilized!

On the other hand if the situation were reversed, that is if the barbaric Palestinian terrorists stormed a ship carrying Israelis or Iranians including women on board they would rape, kill, and plunder everybody and everything on it!

That's the difference between Palestinians and Israeli. Barbarity vs civility!

God bless lord Moses!

Sea sickness

by comrade on

Since the day this video was posted, I have been struggling with contradictory reactions towards her,  divided between her appearance (and whatever it represents), and her political cause, if any. I am not sure if she has a political cause. For her everything comes down to religion, which is the most divisive tool that man has ever invented.


humanbeing

i hear

by humanbeing on

this evening that bibi is going to open gaza for all goods (except weapons). in this sense the international outcry, and the protests within the country may have helped, or maybe some armtwisting by the u.s. did it.

what an utter shame that it had to come to this, and that entrenchment has made things take so long. a true leader would have taken initiative or never used such a measure in the first place, rather than be cornered into a reactive mode.

 


Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

Few days ago

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

I asked "Abarmard" and "No Fear" about the fact that Palestinians sided with Saddam. This after IRI had openly and massively sided with the Palestinians.

Abarmard plain out ignored me and refused to even reply. 

No Fear pretended to misunderstand my question and danced around the topic. 

Now once again: will any of their supporters explain why the Palestinians did that? My only idea is that they sided with Saddam because he was an Arab. To me that is racism. Putting your race above your friend. They could have remained neutral. Having taken sides I view the Palestinians as a group somewhere between "unsympathetic" to "hostile" to Iran. So I don't see any reason why we should stick out necks out for them. Their leadership has proved good at alienating friends and miss every chance for peace.

In addition the Palestinian population as a whole has followed their leaders. I did not hear any protested against siding with Saddam. If anything they were all for it. I also have not seen them try to restrain suicide bombing. Thus the fault is right on them.


Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

The blockade

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

by itself is not unusual or inhumane. It is only inhumane if they block legitimate trade; necessities; etc.
However a blockade is an act of war. On the other hand shooting missiles is also an act of war. So both sides are arguably at war. The question is whether rules of war are being ignored.
For example it is perfectly legitimate to stop the flow of weapons but not the flow of food. I suspect that Israel is going beyond just weapons and probably violating a number of rules. But I don't think this is "the most criminal" thing or anything like it. I think the Taliban are far more criminal and savage. In addition if Hammas could they would be just as savage and maybe a lot more. Just take a look at IRI and Taliban to get an idea.
But I am yet to hear any Palestinian supporters ever criticize them.


Irani Irani

Islamo-Nazis are the ultimate reactionaries

by Irani Irani on

I wonder why the vocal feminist group on iranian dotcom has stayed quite (except Rosie) while Fatemeh Mohammadi is being called a "bitch" and a "diaper head" by the reactionaries on this website 

The Islamist animals who murder, rape, stone, and flog Iranian women and the West-residing IRI Cyber Groupies who propagandize on their behalf are the biggest reactionaries and enemies of humanity in the world. The world has seen what happens when Nazis took over Germany in 1933 and Islamo-Nazis took over Iran in 1979. If the same mistakes are to be avoided, then the Islamo-Nazis must be confronted and challenged wherever they are found, whether in IRI, America, Europe, etc. 


Bavafa

We can say [and agree]

by Bavafa on

We can say [and agree] much about IRI and their crimes against Iranian people, judge this person character [or lack of if you will], but what will remain undisputed and true is that the fact that the blocked of Gaza is illegal, inhumane and immoral. The attack on Gaza flotilla by IDF was a viscous and barbaric attack and it would have never been tolerated if it was done by any other nation or to any western nation.

This criminal act needs to be condemned by all peace seeking folks as it has been by vast majority of the world.

Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

Thanks Mola

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

Thanks for the warning. Good to know that these good people have so much free time on their hands. No work to do just to go sailing to Israel to smuggle weapons for Hammas terrorists.

I will tell my friends in IDF to take care of them. Make sure the "women" have their hijabs on properly or they get killed by Hamms.  Maybe they are lucky and IDF will come to their rescue; just so they get to complain about it later on.

New ships are getting ready to sail towards Gaza

by Mola Nasredeen on

A group of Lebanese women activists joined by Europeans and journalists are planning to sail for Gaza in the latest bid to break Israel's blockade of Gaza. It will be an all-women aid flotilla.

//english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2010/06/20106191024631691.html

The International Committee of the Red Cross said that the blockade was illegal and described it as a violation of the Geneva Conventions. Nazis and Zionists are among the countries who have violated the Geneva Conventions. It means the criminal regime of Israel is:  

a. Willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health of the natives. 

b. Willfully has created extensive destruction of the property.

PS: I wonder why the vocal feminist group on iranian dotcom has stayed quite (except Rosie) while Fatemeh Mohammadi is being called a "bitch" and a "diaper head" by the reactionaries on this website?

by Onlyiran on

If you are "Iranian-American", then why do you advocate Iran becoming a part of a greater Turkish empire with "dinar" as its currency?  Wouldn't that be the ultimate act of treason toward Iran?

Javan, so what you're saying

by Onlyiran on

is that ALL Iranian Muslims support the IRI, right?  That's a good one, LOL  :-)))

PS- Can you tell us how you became such master of [fake] statistics, like here, where I had to correct you:

 //iranian.com/main/blog/darius-kadivar/thought-our-fellow-balouch-brothers-and-sisters

Perhaps we can learn from your ways and become a masterful statistician ourselves? :-)) 


Javan

I am an Iranian-American, but I find myself agreeing with you...

by Javan on

As much as I am not an Ahmadinejad fan and I support Mousavi, but I think you have hit the nail on a few things...

The blatant support of Israel and the condemnation of everything Iranian is what many of these one percenters are saying.  

They forget they are only 1% of Iranians...Zoroastrians, Bahais, Jews, Christians, Athiests, Communists, etc.  

They do have  say, however they don't have the majority say as much as they would like to believe.  

Iranian.Com is in English...

However, all the Persian language websites and blogs do not sound like these people.

Ahmad

by IranMilitaryForum.net on

Thanks for your input. However, there is one thing you got wrong and that is calling this group "Iranians" and "nationalistic". They are neither Iranian nor nationalistic. they are faceless weeds in the service of Israeli newly formed cyber force. Their agenda, once you read enough of their garbage, is clearly nothing to do with Iran's well being. They want an Iran catered as "persian" to seperate Iran from its Arab neighbors to Isolate and weaken Iran so they can one more time take command of it in their interests. Divide and rule is an old Anglo saxson tactic known very well in ME region. 

The hegemony politics is very clear, Iran is the only priceless jewel in the middle east and it is outmost important to bring it back as a nation of bendovers to serve the global Zionist agenda at any cost. So, if it ever crosses your mind that such cyber operations by the Zionists is too costly to believe, think again, the end result of this massive operation is well worth it. The purpose of this operation is to bring an educated 70 million population with vast mineral resources and a strong military under the Zionists much like it was during the Shah's time who was made to be a paper tiger transforming Iran to a nation at the disposal of US-Zionist axis much like what Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Persian fulf states are, to name a few .

These bigoted fascists, self proclaimed Iranians will never go to Iran. All their talk, blogs and posts here are to divide Iranians, weaken their resolve in their national independence by shedding crocodile tears for Neda and others who they constantly encourage to violence on Iranian streets in Iran on these fascist's behave while they are in their comfortable armchairs drinking. They will promise Iran even bigger hopes of democracy and freedom as more violent classhes in Iranian cilities take place.

How inhuman and sick this bunch can be has no limit but pay attention where they come from. They boldly stand on Israeli side with sixty years of savagry against defenceless populations inside palestine and in the surronding countries which they attack on with impunity.

To cut it short, one does not have to listen to what this bigotted fascist bunch is promoting under under the freedom and democracy banner. Simply look at all the Arab countries under heavy US military and political support and see if you find an iota of freedom and democracy, you can then give these people any credit that you wish to grant them.

The Iran these bigotted fascists promote is at best similar to Egypt or the ex Shah's regime, a nation of bendover sheep. 

Look at the latest example Iraq and see for yourself the mere democracy forced on them at such incredible cost, after eight years their democracy has translated to total Iraqi destruction and daily casualties.

The Iranian choice is clear, an imperfect Iran as we have it with national indepence or like Egypt, Iraq or Saudi Arabia with an illusion of "democracy" (that is propagated in every single Western media with no substance ) but with no national inependence.

Iran is an Islamic country and Iranians are muslim. Don't hurt their feelings, don't call the islamic hejab, "diaper". 

This diaper-wearing Islamo-Nazi is living in America not in your Rapist Utopia. Fortunately, America is not the land of Islamo-Nazis, but IRI and Gaza are. Islamo-Nazis kill and rape Iranians, so I don't care if their feelings are hurt. Now, please go cry for Beautiful Gaza.

Here is a suggestion Ahmad

by cyclicforward on

This is interesting. Palestine is your concern since they are Muslim and speak Arabic. You also "claim" you are concerned about human rights. Let me tell you one thing, we are actually most concerned about the so called Muslim government of IRI and how it kills people. If you have any decency, make that your plight and bring attention to it and send flotilla to oppressed Iranian people.


Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

Ahmad

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

I know you are not a bad guy. But I am going to give you a piece of my mind anyway. Nothing personal: I have nothing against you. Now we go: 

Right. I hear a ton of people saying their loyalty is to human race. But their concern is to Palestinians and their language is Arabic. 

This is the standard Islamic line. When they lose they are all for "humanity". When in charge they kill anyone who so much as speaks out. Talk peace when you are in power and then you are being honest.  

You know and I know that IRI is an Arab occupation government. Bahrain was a part of Iran and then got ethnically cleansed of Iranians thanks to Britain. The same thing they are doing to Kosovo. I hope the British get the same treatment. Now you oppose Iranian nationalism. Yes: my land; get used to it. Are *you* willing to share Arab occupied lands with Jews; Christians; atheists; and Bahia? When you say yes we talk.

No people have done more to harm humanity than Islamists.

No more tolerance of intolerance. 

Tolerance is a two way thing. Nationalism is our response to Arab imperialism. It would not have happened if Arabs did not try to destroy us. Now the full response is going to hit back.

PS, 

The West is also waking up. Why should they put up with this?
