Have you noticed our reaction when someone, normally an American, calls us an Arab? Or during a discussion someone refers to all people of mid eastern origin as Arabs? We generally rip them a new asshole and then proceed to educate them.
There is typically no love lost between Iranians and Arabs unless there is a third party is involved and that third party is Israel and the Jews.
Since the recent conflict in Gaza, I have seen and or read over 100 postings on Iranian.com regarding the atrocities of Israel. If a new reader comes across Iranian.com he or she will be really confused as to whether this is Iranian.com or Palestinian.com.
If you are a supporter of IRI, then there is no question about the love. Palestinian thugs, riding in Jeeps and carrying automatic rifles were a big factor in the early days and months of the Islamic revolution. The Iranian regime owes them and owes them big.
If you are a true Iranian who yearns for a free secular and democratic Iran, rid of Islam and Arab influence, you would normally be on the side of Israel. But the hatred of Jews which starts at age 5 or 6 via brain washing for most Iranian Muslim kids is so strong that it has blinded most Iranians. I know about this first hand. I was born and raised in a Muslim family. The bull shit I was told about Jews and Bahais by my older aunts and uncles and family friends make one’s head spin. Don’t tell me you did not hear these things because I don’t believe you for a second.
Israel is defending herself and its right to exist. To guarantee its long term security, Israel has been like a whore to the U.S. But can you blame Israel? I don’t. They live in a neighborhood with hundreds of millions of quasi savages who are hell bent on destroying them. Any and all action for self defense in my opinion is justified.
