    they run away from good news, or hard questions, its more possible to find them commenting on a piece of news that says for example "AhmadiNejad sneezed while meeting Jews representatives" and find in this a threat to Israel and the Jews minority there, by trying to spread influenza virus, and some may go far and say "Iran uses biological weapons against Jews"

    but news like the above does not sell, as you may have noticed lots
    of important questions been ignored, and once they get a bit old, the same old propaganda plays again,

    I have asked, what they think about that Jew ambassador, Israel always claims that Israel is the home land for Jews, why does this ambassador think else? and see in Bahrain her homeland? why Israel is speaking on behalf of all Jews when there are so many Jews who are against Israel? is this also considered democracy?

    i got a grey rep that said i misrepresented the article so i want to clarify. I wish he posted his comment here so we could talk about it.
    the article is not in support of the iran. it is actually an article that clearly shows that x-iranian jewish folks are completly against ahmadinejad. yet in the same article you find what i posted.
    this anti iranian theme of the article is just why i chose it.
    yet the part that i posted is a clear indication that they do noy feel in danger as they go back to iran and take vacation there.

    There are lots of Jewish people who work in Politics in Iran. They are all treated equally like all other Iran citizens.

    exactly, i think those that label Iranians "neo"-nazis are just pro-Israeli propaganda... Its pure lies and propaganda on behalf of the Israelis.

    @ziya : thanks, glad to be back, certain people who dont like the truth get there own way here.

    Jews in Iran Describe a Life of Freedom Despite Anti-Israel Actions by Tehran

    One of the most striking of many murals in Iran's capital, Tehran, is a towering portrait of Fathi Shkaki, a leader of the militant Palestinian group, Islamic Jihad. He was assassinated by Israeli agents in 1995 after he masterminded a series of suicide bombings against Jewish civilians.

    Yet, stroll a little farther along Palestine Street and you come to the Abrishami Synagogue, the biggest of 23 synagogues in Tehran. It is regularly attended by some 1,000 worshippers.

    It comes as a surprise to many visitors to discover that Iran, a country so hostile to Israel and with a reputation for intolerance, is home to a small but vibrant Jewish community that is an officially recognized religious minority under Iran's 1979 Islamic Constitution.

    "[Ayatollah Ruhollah] Khomeini didn't mix up our community with Israel and Zionism - he saw us as Iranians," says Haroun Yashyaei, a film producer and chairman of the Central Jewish Community in Iran. Like Iran's Armenian Christians, Jews are tolerated as "people of the book" and allowed to practice their religion freely, provided they do not proselytize.

    "Take it from me, the Jewish community here faces no difficulties. If some people left after the revolution, maybe it's because they were scared," says Farangis Hassidim, a forceful but good-humored woman who is charge of the only Jewish hospital in Iran. She adds: "Our position here is not as bad as people abroad may think. We practice our religion freely, we have all our festivals, we have our own schools and kindergartens."

    http://www.csmonitor.com/durable/1998/02/03/intl/intl.3.html

    I hope that cleared the illusions to some of the members here, be stronger than to fall to the anti iranian propaganda.

    That you think that makes Iran look good is what is revealing.

    You boast about Iran and how "Jew are tolerated" "provided they don't proselytize" and that they say "Our position here is not as bad as people abroad may think"

    Hi,
    May I ask a question swaymedia?
    I don't understand why you keep-posting about how Iran love Jews and the real problem is "The Zionists".

    Afaik, Israel = Zion, Jerusalem = Zion, Judah = Zion Even the most popular mountain in Jerusalem called Zion Mountain.

    I don't get it to be honest, it's like you'll wonder why Norway's are Norwegian's, isn't that irony?

    America are Americans, Sweden are Swedish, Australia are Australians..

    Israel are maybe Israelis but Israelis are Zionist
    WIKI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zion

    The Land Of Israel.

    99% of the Jewish believe in the Zion history, so 1% don't (Jewish believe in the freedom of speech btw) tho 1% is nothing.

    We all should accept what Jewish believe, Zion is Israel, that's it.

    to be honest, I do not get it too,

    you made some examples:

    Norway's are Norwegian's
    America are Americans
    Sweden are Swedish
    Australia are Australians..

    then...

    Israelis are Zionist

    how is that related to each other?
    Zionism is a political movement, right?

    Hi imad,
    No sir, it's like Iranian are Persian.

    Israelis are Zionist, it have nothing to do with politics.

    Read up a bit about Israeli Anthem over wiki:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatikvah


    "As long as in the heart, within
    A Jewish soul still yearns,
    And towards the end of the East,
    An eye still watches toward Zion
    Our hope is not yet lost,
    The hope of two thousand years,
    To be a free nation in our land,
    The land of Zion and Jerusalem."

    Israel land means Zion land, same thing :p

    Get a clue: Zionism

    Zionism is a political movement and the racist one if you ask me.

    Hi,
    I am not talking about political movements, I am talking about the Terms Zion and Zionists.

    99% of Israelis are Zionists without any connection to any political movements.

    So if there is a political movement called Jesus, so every thing relative to Jesus are regard political movements?

    I hope you get my point :p

    then it would have made more sense if they name it Zionia for example instead of Israel

    Iranians are Persians
    Israelis are Persians, Arabs, black, white ...etc

    how come Zionism is a race now?

    would be great if you identified zionism more.

    Zionism = the movement was formally established by the Austro-Hungarian journalist Theodor Herzl in the late 19th century.

    Its just more lies and propaganda the same way you call critisizers "anti-semetic", you just wish to twist all the terminologies to your benefits. 90% of people on the meditaranian are semetic, whether or not the jewish. But you would like to think otherwise, so you can lie and win a debate with no truth.

    Zionism is a political movement to take all of Israel. That has nothing to do with what letters should go at the end of a nationality (e.g. Italy = Italian), which is the most stupidist thing iv heard.

    Zionism is OFFICIALLY A POLITICAL MOVEMENT according to every Encylopedia in the world.

    But then again it could be anything according to your head...

    Hi,
    Taken from WIKI:
    "Zionism is an international political movement"


    So yes, as you said - I think it's what peoples think or so, I guess this old movement isn't even exist any more.
