Dedicated to the long-suffering Palestinians and Iranians who have been sidelined by the United Nations in favour of the Nuclear Apartheid State of Zionist Israel in the most blatant exercise in International Double Standards that our world has ever known.
This video demonstrates that the United States is not a democracy, it is a bribeocracy, largely controlled by Zionists. But citizens of other nations need not be complacent, for there is much evidence to suggest that the same pressures are being brought to bear on their politicians and officials to support Israel's excesses, and an Internet search will reveal that the first ever European Jewish Parliament held its inaugural meeting early in February, 2012; something that the mainstream media seemed reluctant to publicise.

What can we do?
by Kooshan on Thu May 17, 2012 10:30 AM PDTFacts:
1. Palestinians are treated by Israelis as bad as Jews were treated in Europe from ghetto days to WW2.
2. Israel/US are one of the same when it comes to middle-east affairs.
3. West has undeniable cultural conflict with East (including India, Russia, China, muslim world, Iran) in differing degrees.
4. As a result of #3, strategic measure is either to own those countries or keep them weak.
5. Iran has always been exploited by intruders with imposition of treaties and wars. (I believe they are all as a result of unwise domestic regimes).
6. Iran wants to progress but ignores the fact that she lacks elements for progress, including effects of #4. Politically, it is entangled in the web of history of early Islam but pragmatism iswidely accepted method for survival.
7. World diplomacy shows that keeping the status quo is in the interest of all powers and the only looser iis the nation of Iran and other muslim nations who are not in Western capmaign and to lesser degree muslim nations who are in Western capmaign.
8. The plan C (Arab springs, economic santions, puppet governments fear-of-Mobarak-or-Ghaddafi-faith) has already started in middle east 2 years ago. It can not go on for too long, especially if Iran shows resilience and endurance against the santions drug.
9. Possibility of West and Iran being able to come in peace is not real under current governments - They really are existential threat to each other.
All of the above, does not change the fact that neither side is right and both sides are working to make people's lif miserable. Unless an unprecendented phenomena such as EURO breaking comes into play, I'm afraid that people of Iran will have to suffer this era for long as Russians did after communism.

by iraj khan on Sun May 13, 2012 08:52 PM PDTFinklestein was getting death threats (still does) and Israeli Lobby (AIPAC) forced the De Paul University not to let him lecture anymore. They even paid him the next year's salary but did not let him teach any class. I've followed his case very closely and for a long time.
I know his parents were holocaust survivors and because of it he is also referred to as a holocaust survivor.
What was the great sin of this educated 100% Jewish young man? He wrote a book called the Holocaust Industry revealing how some American jews had turned the tragic event of holocaust into a money making industry.
He also is against the policies of the racist apartheid regime of Israel and that's why his contract was not extended and tha't why he has been threatened with his life so many times.
So, being Jewish does not mean one has to follow the settler's ideology of Netanyahu and his rightwing Likud party. Lets not get the issues mixed up here.

by LoverOfLiberty on Sun May 13, 2012 04:15 PM PDTTo be more accurate, Norman Finkelstein is the son of Holocaust surviving parents and is not a holocaust survivor himself.
And, to add clarity, since Norman Finkelstein reached a settlement with DePaul University in 2007, he wasn't technically "fired" since he agreed to leave DePaul University under the terms of that settlement.
Now, of course, someone can claim that DePaul University was influenced by others outside the tenure process when he did not attain tenure. But, DePaul University claims otherwise.
So, please spare the audience here your "spin" on this topic.
(Many assistant professors at colleges never attain tenure to become full professors, which is a position that is actually applied for by, say, a candidate assistant professor. But it is inaccurate to consider someone "fired" when they don't attain tenure. And, if such assistant professors are no longer assigned classes after their tenure is denied, it would be accurate to call such individuals as being "laid-off" from a position...which would be no different from, say, some manufacturing plant closing and an employee there being laid off as a result.)
mr iraj khan: you are confusing democracy with division :)

to be the judge on this website?
Slow down, take a deep breath and face the reality.
Remember, Not all Germans were Nazis and not all Jews are radical rightwing Zionist such as yourself. You and your ideology does not represent all the jews, don't get mixed up.
Case in point, the holocaust survivor Mr Norman Finklestein who wrote The Holocast Industry. We know what you did to him, you got him fired from his teaching job at De Paul University at Chicago where he worked for several years.

He was no Ahmadinejad's crowd.
You are not dealing with some Ahmadinejad crowd here, we know what we are talking about.

LOL

by iraj khan on Sun May 13, 2012 09:10 AM PDTTalk of bombing Iran has its own advantages for Netanyahu:
"There is another big advantage for Mr Netanyahu to his verbal confrontation with Iran. For the moment, it has sidelined as an international issue the fate of the Palestinians and Israeli settlements on the West Bank. Over the past two or three years, the rest of the world has been too busy pleading with Israel not to start a war with Iran to bother much about what is happening in Ramallah or Gaza."

هنیه دخالت حماس در جنگ" احتمالی اسرائیل با ایران را رد کرد
اسماعیل هنیه، نخست وزیر دولت حماس در غزه، مداخله نظامی این گروه در درگیری نظامی احتمالی ایران و اسرائیل را رد کرده است.
خبرگزاری رویترز در مصاحبه ای اختصاصی با اسماعیل هنیه با اشاره به تهدیدهای برخی مقامات اسرائیلی در مورد حمله نظامی به تاسیسات هسته ای ایران، از وی پرسیده است که آیا در چنین صورتی، جنبش حماس به عملیات نظامی علیه اسرائیل دست خواهد زد؟
آقای هنیه در پاسخ گفته است: "حماس یک جنبش فلسطینی است که در صحنه سیاسی فلسطینی فعالیت دارد و به آن قبیل اقدامات سیاسی و عملیاتی دست می زند که متضمن منافع مردم فلسطین باشد.""

Persian arrogance against Arabs!
by Simorgh5555 on Wed May 09, 2012 11:44 PM PDTSunnis in Iran under Persian ‘arrogance’ -(Part 2)
By ABDULLAH AL-SULTAN
Published: Apr 24, 2012 01:05 Updated: Apr 24, 2012 01:05
The Iranian Sunnis are treated with discrimination not only at hospitals, courts, and other government services, but even in the choice of names for their newborn babies.
For instance, Sunnis are banned from calling their sons with names such as Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, or Abdul Rahman. This, in fact, amounts to a violation of the Iranian constitution, which respects, at least in theory, the minority community’s right to practice its religious rites. But in practice, the government follows the ideology of the Al-Jaafari school of thought of the Shiite Ithna-Asheri sect and discriminates between Shiites and Sunnis. The government also makes deliberate efforts to rekindle the historical conflict between Shiites and Sunnis with the aim of exploiting the strife in its favor.
In a clear violation of the provisions in the constitution the Sunnis are also facing severe discrimination in the freedom to practice their religious beliefs and hold to their national sentiments. They are denied of their right to set up their own particular organizations to protect their interests.
The methods of Iranian suppression of Sunnis include hounding them, detention and assassination. The Sunnis of the Ahwaz (Arabistan) region is a special target for oppression. Men and women of the opposition are executed or lynched indiscriminately in line with a predetermined plan to drive out the Sunni population of Ahwaz to other regions under the slogan of Persian nationalism. Even some Shiites in Ahwaz are the victims of oppression, only because they are Arabs.
The status of Sunni scholars in Iran is far worse. Their lives are under the constant threat of assassination. The two options they are left with are either to embrace Shiism or flee. Their murders are arranged to appear as traffic accidents. If anyone is lucky enough to survive an accident, he would end up in some jail, if not exiled from the country. The authorities are motivated by the hope that the oppressive treatment will prompt Sunni scholars to embrace the Shiite school of thought as the country aims to convert all people to the Shiite creed, or at least reduce the Sunni population to a minimum. This is in fact a revival of the policy followed by the Sawafids in the past.
It is reported that Iranian intelligence service has a role in the oppression of Sunnis and that the Iranian leaders including the supreme leader are informed of such practices.
On the other hand the government always claims that it has nothing to do with the suppression and persecution of Sunnis and denies it or any Shiite leader ever issued an order to harass the Sunni population. If the claim is true, the government’s silence on the acts of violence and discretion against Sunnis, apparently, means that its leaders are happy about such persecutions. The Iranian Sunnis are weak because they are discriminated against and put under a siege like situation.
It is surprising that Iranian government always claims that it stands by the weak and oppressed people in the world.
Is it not true that “anyone who fails to do good to his own people will not do good for others?” Are not the Sunni citizens of the country more deserving to get their government’s care and attention and protection from oppression more than anyone else outside?
If the contradiction in the government’s deeds with its words refers to anything, it is the Iranian hypocrisy. Even if Iran can deceive itself with such claims, it cannot deceive the outside world any more. Internationally approved political and civil rights are not applicable to Iranian minorities, especially to Sunnis. The Sunnis have only a symbolic representation in the country’s Parliament. The representation does not reflect the real Sunni population. The election victory is possible only for Sunnis who support the government.
Sunnis do not have any high position in the government or presidency of the republic, as Shiites alone are eligible for such positions. Religious and national minorities particularly Sunnis in Iran and the people of Ahwaz need the attention and support of international bodies for their deliverance from the Persian arrogance.

by Fesenjoon2 on Wed May 09, 2012 11:40 PM PDTit's funny that Finkelstein should pick "10" years. It shows he knew about Iran occupying Iraqi territory (al-Faw peninsula) in the late stages of the war in the 80s.
Iran is occupying Arabic land in Ahwaz!
by Simorgh5555 on Wed May 09, 2012 11:32 PM PDTIran has been occupying Ahwaz, an Arab Land with Arab rulers since 7 century AD and even going back before until the Zionist British puppet Reza Shah had annexed it. Khizestan for Arabs! Down with Zionist Shah who took our land from us Arabs!
How many countries has Iran attacked during the last 10 years?
by iraj khan on Wed May 09, 2012 09:28 PM PDTSo asks Norman Finkelstein the American holocaust survivor.
And he adds:
"Israel is a crazy country, it's like a junkie, every year they have to go to a war, like they need their fix."
"In 2003 Israel was the cheerleader of going to war with Iraq, in 2006 they attacked Lebanon, in 2009 they attacked Gaza"
"Now it's talking about attacking Iran, if you read Israeli newspaper headlines it's about 'should we attack Iran?' or 'should we attack Lebanon?' or 'should we attack Syria?'
"Israelis are like lunatics"

by Anonymous Observer on Wed May 09, 2012 07:14 PM PDTThis posting is a repeat. This video has been posted on IC many times before, both in the blog and the news sections. It just goes to show the Iranian conspiracy minded mentality. They never pass on an opportunity to believe bullshit conspiracy theories.
Further FYI-USS Enterprise is out of the Persian Gulf. It will be decommissioned on December 1, 2012 at Newport News, VA. You can actually attend the ceremony. Unlike Iran, this is a free country. The whole thing is on Navy's website. Check it out for yourself. So, on December 1, 2012 both you and that idiot narrator of the video will have giant eggs on your faces. Not that you would care or anything.

I'm actually surprised
by Anonymous Observer on Wed May 09, 2012 01:54 PM PDTthat they brought Wahid Azal out of retirement so soon. I mean, he was last blocked as "ILoveIran," "Shahab Ferdowsi," etc. about a month or so ago. But times must be tough I guess.
Usually tearing oneself for Palestine, distraction from Iran and manufactured support for the Palestinians are reserved for the resident users of the site, such as Bavafa and Mola Shotor (Iraj Khan). Perhaps sending money to Australia, where Wahid lives, is easier these days, with the SWIFT ban and all.
Fesenjoon's cartoon says it all.
For the record, I couldn't give a rat's behind about Israel and Palestine. To me, that's just another foreign conflict, like Sudan and South Sudan, Russia and Chechnya, etc. In fact, I hope for the Palestinians to get their land back. Just so that we can see these pretend, kaseyeh daghtar az ash Iranians shut their mouths about it.
PS- I have to now call my Jewish dentist for an appointment. I like the guy. He does charity work in Africa. Travels there every year and does free dental work for HIV positive patients there who no one else wants to touch. The IR, at the same time, sends weapons to Gen. Bashir in Sudan which he will use to kill more Muslims in Darfur and non-Muslims in South Sudan.

by Simorgh5555 on Wed May 09, 2012 12:29 PM PDTI did not say Israel is a saint but Palestinians are definitely no saints either. Israel is a legitimate country which has a right to exist and is capable of bad decisions as well as good.
Even if.... and IF...Israel were all theiving European Jews have you actually seen the map of Israel/Palestine. It is literally a country of 22,000 kms compared to Iran which is 1,7000,000 (approx). Why is it that this tiny country and it is tiny occupies so much of your time more than Tibet lets say?
If you were really a humanitarian the very first thing you would do is speak up for your Sunni Iranian Arabs who are evicted from their house; who cannot have Arabic names such as Uthman, Omar or Ayesha; who cannot openly cellebrate their own Sunni religious practices; who cannot celebrate their own Bedouin Arab culture. The entire region of Khuzestan was governed by its own Sheik with their own customs and laws before Reza Shah centralised the government. Khuzestan was semi-inedpendent if not totally autonomous from Iran. If you support Palestinian rights of self government then you must support Ahwazi rights otherwise you are a hypocrite. You can't have it both ways.
As an Iranian you have ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to even have an opinion about Israel/Palestine unless you support Ahwazi rights as well. If not then shut your mouth (Not you P_T_B_A jan but the mentally retarded compatriots of ours).
Tel any Iranian what they think of Arab Iranian rights and they will say'Fucking Arabs'. Ask them what they think about Arabs oppressed in the West Bank or Gaza and they will respond, "Fucking Jew!" I've heard this so many times that I would be rich if I could get a dollar someone said it.
At the same time you hate Arabs and oppress them and then all of a sudden you adopt a cause of a small population in one of the most twisted and difficult middle east conficts ever. And the reason?
Its in the genes. Passed down from mother to daugher. Father to son. Do you remember when your mother (NOT YOURS! PEOPLE LIKE 'KUROSH' MAZANDARANI) whispered into your ear not to stand down in the rain because the Jews dirt (Najis) would flow onto you? Its still in your brain. They support Palestine because of JEW HATE. Pure and friggin simple.

Palestinians even bully Ahwazi Arab-Iranian citizens
by Simorgh5555 on Wed May 09, 2012 12:06 PM PDT//www.al-ahwaz.com/english/2009/index.phppage15-6-2009-1-ahwaz&a_p_no=2&w_p_no=1&ar_p_no=23-1-2008-1
According to the Ahwazi Aran separatists NLMA Hamas bully boys have been recruited by the IR to control and beat their own Arab Iranian brethren. This is exactly how tragic incidents such as Shatila and Sabra massacre started. Despite the complicity of Sharon (I'm not excusing Israeli actions when they are wrong.Sharon was also condemned by Israel as well) for allowing the massacre to happen the Christian Arabs who were knocked around by the Palestinians who were used as bully boy enforcers developed a blood lust for them and did not hesitate to kill man, woman and child.
The stupid Palestinian leadership never learns a lesson. They will whore themselves to anyone who gives them patronage. Even if it means being used as bully boys to oppress their own Arab brethren. The sink so low that they will fuck over anyone if it means receving ssupport for their own case EVEN if they are poor Sunni Arabs who live in a Shia fascist segragated state.
No wonder they are kicked around from country to country. One day they support Khomeini, the next day they support his arch enemy. One day they support King Hussein of Jordan and then when they abuse his kindness and hospitality they are massacred by the Jordanian Army.
In some ways I feel sorry for them. Poor leadership, stupid decisions and the harsh treatment of their own Arab brethren in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria who to this day treat them like third class citizens forced to live in appalling coniditions in UN camps.
