Palestine was never a nation

by Cyrus The Great (not verified) on

Hey get your facts straight Faribors, Palestine was never a nation.Historic facts place Jews in the Holy Land at the beginning of time. I do not believe Reza Shah was anti-semite. If anything didn't he let the Jews out of the ghetto?

Jews

by Anonymous Iranian (not verified) on

While you people are bickering over ancient history, allow me to let you in on a little secret. In a conflict between Iran and Israel, Iranian (well, so called) Jews would ALWAYS side with Israel. In fact most Iranian Jews don't even celebrate Nowruz! I don't think the Jews need help defending themselves. I think we as Iranians should worry about our own interests. The Jews in Iran were always visiting anyway. Hopefully the rest of them will emigrate as well, we don't need a fifth column in our midst.

by Luciferous (not verified) on

time and time again history has shown that the Pahlavis were anti-semites.
Those unlukies were not indipendent. so they experienced a misrable End-time of their lives. Their dependence on foreigners turned to be their most biggest and actually their only problem.
It is historically prooved that Resa Shah the greate loved the Nazis. His son Resa shah the small loved nobody but made nicely busuiness with strangers paying with wealth of Iranian Nation . It was not good for him. and also not for their Busuiness-friends. because the 25 years of taking-away without paying had made them addicted. As his majesty the small could not feed them they let him drop. Hopping they would make busuiness with his deszendents. These are wilöing to make busuiness with former rubbers but only for an apropriate preis. many countries, also europians have accepted the new conditions.

Now to the history: I remember 1947/ 48 we as school children had to lissen to stories like the following: Be aware of jews. They take the children which they have stollen to a vlies with many corners. In any corner stands ajew and you (child) stand in the middle. One jew willshows an apple to you and asks you to get it. Comes the child near enough to him so he strikes it with a knife. Then follows same play with another jew.

I ask myself if I had to lissen to these horror-picture-shows 1948, then what kind stories had poeple to tell in the times before in Iran?

Thanks God in Today iRAN live all IRANIANS in peace and brotherhood together in their ISLAMIC REPUBLIC of IRAN no matter which Book-Religion they believe in. Greeting

........sam E nariman? and then Rostam E dastan?
*6 Million Jews never burned in the concentration Camps I suppose ?
Of course they did. How comes, you suppose so?
*Ann Frank never existed
She existed so sure as the brother and sister scholl existed. You can be conviced. That is what every body knows.
*and the Nuremburg laws drafted by hitler were not about Jews, homosexuals or any group deemed inferior to the Aryan Race ?
* those laws were about jews, aryans and homos.

THESE ALL ARE NOT THE POINT. You know it, because you are educated. You miss the point may be because the truth is bitter and hot and sometimes hearttearing.

The actual Question is: Why the jews to day are not allowed to go back to the countries were their ancestores were burned? where actually their real home is? Why Palestine is taken away fron its original Inhabitants? Why Palestinians have to suffer under Occupation of their homeland and many more likewise questions. DO YOU HAVE ASWER PLEASE? These questions are the theme, not your truth-deviating supposes.

And the truth is that the last PERSERKÖNIG, alike the most last one, both were brought by AJNABIES and were pulled away by them from Iran. No Iranian moved even her/his little finger to prevent the Ajnabies perfroming their actions. However the most last PERSERKÖNIG was pulled away and coincidentally he had to run away otherwise..... you know what I mean? with my terrible horrible english? Greeting.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Your extravagant attempts to historical revisionism and disproportional comparison's simply reflect your terrible ignorance and lack of knowledge of that era.

6 Million Jews never burned in the concentration Camps I suppose ? Ann Frank never existed and the Nuremburg laws drafted by hitler were not about Jews, homosexuals or any group deemed inferior to the Aryan Race ?

My knowledge of WWII my friend comes from the fact that my mother and maternal grandparents were first account witnesses of the War my poooooooooooooor little sam. Many Jewish classmates of my mother were deported and never returned. My mother just happened not to be Jewish and were not deported otherwise they certainly would. These are not souveniers that one can forget as "details" of WWII

As for films on the Holocaust rarely were they ever  dealt in fiction or romantic terms until recently with Spielbergs Schindlers List and in the late Seventies for the first time in a series called Holocaust that triggered anger for even dealing about the subject with professional actors. Most films on the Holocaust were documentaries and needed no dramatic exageration. One of Hollywood's greatest directors George Stevens filmed the dicovery of the Concentration Camps along with Frank Capra. It had nothing to do with a rosy technicolor depiction of Gone with the Wind.

My Poor Fellow go back to Iran and satisfy yourself with Historical revisionism or maybe join France's National Front whose leader the racist Jean Marie Le Pen considered the Holocaust as a detail in the History of WWII. He would even deport you for free if he could but that doesn't seem to bother the likes of yours.

Hiroshima and Nagazaki were tragedies and responsible for the entrance of the world into the nuclear age and announced what was inevitable the Cold War. But the nuclear attacks on Japan were never glorified by any US administration all of which acknowledged the tragic and unique nature of the new weapon that no one could have ever dreamed or understood the apocalyptic nature. Also the use of the Bomb was aimed at demoralizing the Japanese military machine that refused since its undeclared attack on Pearl Harbour to accept the futility of continuing the War. Their suicide bombers were brainwashed to destroy the enemy to the cost if their own lives. It was not warfare but suicide. 

The Atom Bomb was not used in an attempt to destroy a race that is the Japanese Race or anyother race for that matter. It was a cruel decision and certainly one that humanity as a whole was to regret but it was not taken with the wish to anhiliate a race as the Nazi's and even Japanese undertook when they conquered other territories. The atom explosion was the result of the German attempts to acquire the Bomb thanks to their research on the V2's and the American and British intelligence knew this. That is why they offered top scientist like Oppenheimer or Niels Bohr ( with their own agreement) refuge to develop the nuclear program already on the way in Nazi Germany which through Sweden was using heavy water to fabricate it. 

The Bomb was an answer to the Germans and their staunch allies the Japanese that they had definitively lost the War. They paid the price of what they were trying to do Humanity at large and God knows what the World would look like had Hitler or the Japanese Generals acquired the Bomb. Hiroshima and Nagazaki were  a human tragedy and two significant one's but  they have NEVER been refered to as a minor incident or collateral damage by any serious American historian unlike your KKK Historians which your President invited to the Congress in Tehran last year.  

You don't want to believe what has been established by serious historians and the independant Nuremburg Court in regard to the Nazi " Last Solution" well that's your Problem not mine.

Have a nice Weekend and Sieg Heil to your family. Make sure to take your Blue contact lens before going to Bed ...

WWII was not about JEWS and extermination of the JEWS. You have watched too many Hollywood movies made by the JEWS for propaganda.

WWII was to curb and control the expansionism of a superpower such as Germany, that even today after more than 3/4 of a century the world is using the German technology and what they stole from Germans. The issue of JEWS was only a part of the consequences of the war. Jews did not even come close to lose as much as the poor Japanese did or many other people and cultures.

For you or anyone else to naively play the into the tune of the Hollywood is a misguided rightist action to be politically correct. Stop the nonsense and come around.

No country joined or departed from Germany because of the issues of the Jews. They joined Germany because it was a mighty power and could lend its arms to others, just like US today or the China of tomorrow. Jewish issue had nothing to do with WWII.

Thank you

Interesting Find ...

by Darius Kadivar on

It is no secret that Reza Shah's Iran had good relations with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy since the first helped built its Army/Airforce and the second its Navy. The Iranian Army Helmets for instance were copied on the German ones and much of the uniforms were inspired in style from the German Wermacht and Lutwaffe.

Iran however was never entirely an "Ally "of Germany since the term "Axis Vs Allies" was only used once the Free World ( US, Great Britain) declared War on Nazi Germany. By then France was occupied like other European nations that were invaded like Poland or Austria while the Soviet Union signed the Peace Treaty with Nazi Germany on the Eastern Front to the shock of all Communist and Anti Fascist intellectuals and militants who prefered particularly in France to enter Resistance.

By declaring Neutrality in the upcoming War, Reza Shah was trying to maintain the little independance it had acquired which triggered the anger of the British and Russians ( who I believe by that time hypocritically joined the Allies in their war against Nazi Germany and Japan).

Reza Shah however never adopted the anti semitic laws or any other ideologically rooted policies which Germany was undertaking at the time.

Iran did tolerate a newly formed but marginal Nazi Party:

//iranian.com/Pictory/2004/November/nazi.html 

but they were not represented in the Parliament and recieved orders from Berlin very much like its siblings in Great Britain, France, and the United States. All these "democratic" countries were infested by Nazi lobbyist who were trying to gain ground where ever they could by cutting deals with influenceable politicians in every country.

Turkey was another country which flirted with Nazi Germany because the latter had since the 1900's constructed the railways that were to finalize the famous "Orient Express".

Turkey however was luckier to maintain its independance unlike Iran and it maintained its neutrality during WWII. Three countries in all were able to stay out of the War and became only a nest for Spies and counter intelligence: Switzerland, Portugal and Fascist Spain. The latter was able to stay out of War thanks to Franco's ability and double play. The Allies could not fight it Spain after the debacle of all the democratic forces during the Spanish Civil War. The souvenier of "Guernica" ( Immortalized by Picasso) was too profound and controversial to allow another conflict on Spanish Territory despite Franco's Pro- Nazi and Pro Fascist sympathies. It should be noted that Franco did not apply any of the Anti Semitic laws that were imposed in Germany, In fact Spain became one of the countries where many Jews tried to flee too in order to join America, North Africa or any country where the Nazi's had not yet invaded. As for Italy's fascists, they were not particularly against Jews since Mussolini unlike Hitler had not particular resentmentment towards the Italian Jewish community. At Worst the Jews were simply tolerated. But once Germany started pressuring Mussolini particularly after the latter's disastrous military campaigns Hitler managed to impose his conditions and slowly but surely Italian Jews were also deported to the Nazi Concentration Camps. It is important to note that Italian and Spanish Fascism distinguished themselves from Nazism only on the racial nature of Hitler's ideology. Other than that their common denominator was a resentment for democracy, their praise for nationalism and their totalitarian approach to political dissidence. Nationalism was a core that the Nazi's used to rally countries in the Middle East particularly the Muslim states who resented not only the British but Western Colonialism or colonialist presence that went back to the Crusades.

Hitler's diplomats for instance supported Muhammed Amin al-Husseini the Mufti's in Palestine ( before it became known and Jerusalem) , Lebanon and Syria in an attempt to counter British influence in the region.

//www.palestinefacts.org/pf_mandate_grand_mufti.php

The Nazi's were Smart Villians and many unfortunately succumbed to their offers of Alliance and anti British rhetorics. Reza Shah was not an exception to the rule but to his credit as well as to that of his son, Iran never adhered to Nazi hatred for the Jews or any other religious or ethnic minority, unlike today's Islamic Republic's President elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the IRI's spiritual leader Khamenei both of whom speak vehemently against the existence of the State of Israel.

A few corrections:

by history man (not verified) on

First, P.T.T., for those of you who were born in the seventies and onward, was the French adopted title of the minitry responsible for these three services. (post, telephone and telegraph). The ministry was modeled on the French sytem, hence the title.

Second, the suggestion taht Reza Shah was a Nazi sympathiser, thus implying that he approved of their genocidal coduct is an utter nonsense. Reza Shah was an admirer of Germans' workmanship and efficiency, regardless of their political inclinations (of which he wouldn't understand much). In a world that was ruled by the colonialist British on one hand and the Communist Russians, on the other, he had, chosen the hitherto, non-colonialist Germany as an ally. Nevertheless, he refused to ally with Germany at the onset of WWII and declared Iran as nuetral country.

Third, the Concentration Camps were first invented by the British during the Boer War and later copied, to a much more sever standards by the communist Russia, long before Reza Shah came to power. The first Nazi extermination camp was constructed in 1942, more than a year after Reza Shah had abdicated from power.

Therefore, any suggestion of Reza Shah's awarness or approval of the Nazi's extrme practices are baseless.

"Britain and the Soviet

by Anonymou s (not verified) on

"Britain and the Soviet Union pressured Reza Shah to abidcate in August 1941 because of his alleged pro-Nazi Germany sympathies".

Iran announced her neutrality in that war and had no interest in it whatsoever.

The reason was Reza Shah cared for Iran just a litle too much for the approval and interests of Britain, USA & the Soviet Union. As an example people like Karzai and the Arab Emirs & sheikhs will never be forced to abdicate their positions of power, they won't have alleged accusations of "pro-Nazi sympathies".
