Some of the activities it highlighted demanded violence against Israel.

On Monday Yuli Edelstein, Israel's Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs, sent a letter to Apple CEO Steve Jobs asking him to remove the App. “I believe Apple, as a pioneering and progressive company, places the values of liberty, freedom of expression and creativity as a guiding light,” Edelstein wrote. “Also, as a leader in its area, I am convinced that you are aware of this type of application's ability to unite many toward an objective that could be disastrous.”

Military forum worsbips a black box in mecca five times a day. He will die facing a black box in Mecca. He knows of no Iran other than a population which must serve Palestine even if it means dragging his country into war for it.

"Arabs and Israelis?" How About the IRI?!!!!

The IRI is not afraid of social media?  They don't filter the internet 24/7 and shut it down when there is a the slightest hint of a protest?  

Tell it to someone who doesn't know!!!
