There's been some astonishing revelations here at Iranian.com, recently, related to an Israeli connection involving AIPAC.
First and foremost is the banner ad currently being run for Stand for Israel, a pro-Zionist group (the image to the linked site is provided above). I'm assuming this a paid advertisement, and seeing how the publisher of Iranian.com is constantly posting photos from his gallivanting around Europe. I assume that's how he is spending the money he receives from such. Any comment, JJ?
Then today, there's the YouTube embed on Menashe Amir, a broadcaster on Isreal Radio International.It appears that, as some have suggested, Iranian.com has become pro-Zionist.
Initially, I had resisted the idea, but the ad, the editorial coverage, the AIPAC/WINEP articles unconventionally posted on the main page, it all now adds up.
This isn't unusual. The pro-Isreal groups have a lot of money and influence. That it commands the American mainstream media the way it does, it's a speck in the ocean to take hold of a mere Iranian social forum.
Pretty sad situation. But hey, JJ, be sure to post those pics from your next European location...

Q, the ads are still there.
by Rosie. on Tue Aug 10, 2010 04:01 AM PDTThey're just of the more generic type, I don't know why. But the link to the anti-settlements petition was here yesterday, although not on Sargord's page. Don't know why not either.
No, Amir. Just like in the
by Sargord Pirouz on Tue Aug 10, 2010 03:41 AM PDTNo, Amir. Just like in the case of those anti-British Iranian nationalists, it takes a special kind of rottenness for this kind of Iranian to promote Zionism in the region. Actually, it's even worse because in the former case, the sympathies were for a nation that wasn't advocating war against Iran.
And Amir, keep in mind that this is symptomatic among a minority of the more extreme exiles living outside Iran.
Well Dingo, apparently you

Contextual advertizing
by Ari Siletz on Mon Aug 09, 2010 11:36 PM PDTGoogle provides software that webmasters can put in their websites so that their site can display ads relevant to the content. In this way the ads are more targeted to the reader. The website has no control over what ads the software decides is relevant. Sometimes its really relevant, sometimes...well it's just dumb software. For example, I wrote a blog which talked about dominoes. You will see an ad there about "ultimate dominoes." Wikipedia says, "A large part of Google's earnings is from its share of the contextual
advertisements served on the millions of webpages running the AdSense
program."
There's a couple of takes on
by Sargord Pirouz on Mon Aug 09, 2010 11:14 PM PDTThere's a couple of takes on this:
The first is an association based on mutual dislike. Now we know that JJ is an exile and holds a grudge against Iran. Apparently that grudge makes him amenable to foreign interest groups that are anti-Iran. There's actually a historical precedent for this kind of behavior, I'm sorry to say. And that harkens back to 1940, when certain Iranians became so anti-British, that they aligned themselves with the interests of Nazi-Germany. Thus, just like back then, when these Iranian nationalists overlooked Nazi crimes such as the subjugation of Czechoslovakia and the bombing of Warsaw, so too today someone like JJ can overlook Israeli crimes such as the Gaza siege, the attack on the Turkish aid convoy and Operation Cast Lead.
Another way of looking at this, I can provide by means of personal experience. You see, for ten years I too was in the publishing business. And we were faced with certain decisions on which ads we would take, and which ones we wouldn't. On the question of cigarette advertisements, we wrestled with the choice of whether to accept the highest price 4-color ad spot from a cigarette company, or to decline it based on public safety, that is to say on moral grounds. I'm happy to say, we took a moral stand and turned down many thousands of dollars. Well, in JJ's case, apparently it appears he's willing to sell out for just about anything- including Zionist expansion in the Middle East at the point of a gun (see the ad with the Israeli soldier, gun in hand).
Bottom line: Pro-Zionist ads on iranian.com make all Iranians look bad.

Just an observation
by Q on Mon Aug 09, 2010 09:21 PM PDTI can't see the ads anymore. They were very common yesterday, on this page and on my own blog.
Has the site done something?
Sargord , it is called business
by I Voted Ahmadinejad on Mon Aug 09, 2010 09:07 PM PDTThe guy has a name that is politicaly in demand, iranian. Hehas worked on it for years now it is time to bear fruit. I, like you, think here in this site one would get too much of Israel and its croonies. JJ, however, is a business man and this site is his place of business. He would not care who is who!!!

Enjoy Sargord. Another great lines from the song:
"I'm not sick, but I'm not well." Applies to your kind.
I guess this one is a good one too:

Make sure to forward the video to all your other paranoid conspiracy theorist friends.
BTW--Why is it that I don't see these ads? I only got the Liz Cheney one. I get the ad for "Zoosk" online dating, something called "www.Arabinstruments.com" (sells "dombak" and other Middle Easterns musical instruments) and my local sushi restaurants. Has Google saved my searches? I guess at some point I did a Google search trying to date Liz Cheney and entertain her with Arabic music and Sushi. :-))
Maybe Hamas and Hezbollah should make google ads
by Escape on Mon Aug 09, 2010 06:41 PM PDTFor the Islamic Neocons preference.I'm sure they would love to see instructions on how to shove a bomb up your behind and blow up Zionist occupier pigs.Maybe Amy Goodman can give more lessons on how to be a dumbsh*t and stand in front of bulldozers.Nothing like a little piece of land to start off a Good War!!

Sign the Petition. Israel Must End House Demolitions Now/admin
by Rosie. on Mon Aug 09, 2010 06:19 PM PDTSargord, here is the petition:
//enddemolitionsnow.org/petition/?gclid=CKTo2L_VraMCFRxinAodTUmh3g
It is in an ad on the upper right hand corner of this page as I type. It was automatically generated by google.
Sargord's inquiry is normal and legitimate. How do the ads get here? In the beginning when the google ads first appeared, I didn't understand it either.
On the other hand, Sargord, you're being a bt silly and also unfair because you are equating the ads to the editorial content. Why can't people just understand that this is a free speech forum and it is above board? Since the uprising the political demographic of the ste has changed a LOT. It has become more conservatve. At the time of the invasion of Gaza the left-leaning pro-Palestinian people were the large majority and the more 'conservative' faction with almost ANY views sympathetic to Israel was a minority and were painfully aware of it.
I have my theory as to why the demographic has taken the particular shape it has since the uprising and I've written about it elsewhere onsite. But I won't write about it now unless someone wants me to.
Sargord, if you want more like-minded people to post and submit here, you should ask your acquaintances who have a viewpoint similar to yours to hop on board. And you too. Submit more editorial content, the political orientation of the content will change. Just look, you are featured today!
Sad afarin!

ADMIN: On a related note, ever since the archive was removed recently, there is effectively no way for a person to go back and view the content of a particular time. So Sargord or anyone else can't take just go back and take a look at, say, the Gaza period. On the other hand, the archive was not effective because t was not visible so hardly anyone knew it was there. I only knew because Foaad told me. It did seem a bit incomplete too, but it was a helluva lt better than nothing.
The archive was easily navigable because you could click on the year and month you wanted to go to. (Not sure about day). Then you got to see ALL content at once. Now if you want to go back, you have to sit there FOREVER going back page by page (well ,a few pages at once. but still...), and you can only do it by section: articles, blogs, news, etc. It has zero navigability really.
I have made these observations to admin before. I have told Foaad that navigability is my major concern in terms of site functioning. A couple of my suggestions were implemented but not the three above: make the archive more visible, and more recently, restore the archive. And the issue of navigating through through the sections as well.

by jasonrobardas on Mon Aug 09, 2010 04:46 PM PDTI have read articles on this web site that condemned the israelee brutality . So far , there has been a faire balance of ideas . Right now , as I am writing this , there is an ad by google on this site : " sign petition to end israel demolition now " .
We do need to be consicous though . some friends of Israel love israel unconditionaly . No matter what it does .

Ads, What ads? Should I pay more attention to ads, Now.
by عموجان on Mon Aug 09, 2010 05:21 PM PDTThank you Iranian.com for the good work, you are doing. I like your site, this is a great outlet for us to express our opinions. I hope you make allot money for whatever reason.
Please Jenab Sargord take it easy, take a bus. You yourself use this site to prompt your buddies IRGC and put up your propaganda videos I haven’t seen any body stop you. You just can’t stand the responds. May be you should put a request for a bigger budget and start your own web site. I come visit you just don't expect me to be nice.
Sargord,
by Mola Nasredeen on Mon Aug 09, 2010 04:35 PM PDTIt's disturbing to see ads that seek Iranians' support to bomb their mother land. It's shameful. I wonder if Israeli Americans let this happen to Israel? Everything is for sale here even your own people.
Benross/all:
by Bavafa on Mon Aug 09, 2010 04:10 PM PDTLets just click on those ads and make money for JJ.
Each time those ads are clicked, JJ and Google make $$$, this is the money out of the warmongers pocket. If I can drain their pocket, I sure will. And of course all they get out of those ads from me, is my middle finger.

These ads are automatically
by benross on Mon Aug 09, 2010 03:46 PM PDTThese ads are automatically generated by google depending on the content on the page. Just like John McCain and Sarah Palin ads during the elections.
Nice try JJ. But I just got an ad on this same page for a video game called 'space war'. Obviously this is a training tool for zionists to attack Iran. And when I refreshed the page, the zionists noticed that they couldn't fool me that way, so they put an ad about 'Canada premier online personals service'. That's for engaging me with a pretty woman. Obviously a zionist woman and to use my weakness to lure me to the service of their diabolic agenda. They even knew exactly which town I live. How about that JJ? You think I'm stupid? You think I don't know what you are doing?
God bless Israel!

by mahmoudg on Mon Aug 09, 2010 03:15 PM PDTthis is a free country and anything is possible "nothing is sacred", heck i will even tolerate ads on worthless arabs and palestinians popping up here. Can't say much for the Islamic Rapist Republic banning any add that is not favorable to shiites. NOW THAT IS TOLERNCE, dont you think???????

You are going too far Sargord
by MOOSIRvaPIAZ on Mon Aug 09, 2010 02:42 PM PDTIranian.com is anything but zionist. It's just that, like all other avenues of communication these days, the silent majority's voice is drowned by the loud mouthed minority.
afshinazad, you too are going way over your head. Iranian by definition is anti-zionist/anti-racism. Of course many people have varying definitions in their mind when it comes to Zionism. The Zionism I'm talking about is the idea of a religion exclusive (in this case Judaism) state.
