For Bijan AM

The following is video from a Zionist rally in support of killing Palestinians in Gaza. Bear in mind that this took place in "liberal" NYC, not Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.

Dear Bijan A M

Since you linked to those videos posted by israeli propagandists, I hope you at least have the decency and honesty to acknowledge how common and everyday it is for Zionists to yell "Death to Arabs". You're welcome to check: google the words "Death to Arabs" and "Mavet le arabim" (the same phrase in Hebrew) and see how many links you get for demonstrations in which Zionists chant death to Arabs.

So proud of you Nina…

I only hope that you have matured enough that when you search for your roots, you divorce any prejudice and keep the torch of peace, justice and fairness lit to guide you in your search.

 

I am also glad that during your year visit to Iran, you did not witness this speech

Or other Anti American, Anti Israeli hate demonstrations such as this

which are supported by IRI. These have nothing to do with your roots or any true Iranian roots. I am sure you are smart enough to recognize why the word “war” would come up in these atmospheres. Please, lets dedicate ourselves to the cause of peace.

Very encouraging, there are many others like you out there, your quest is another step forward in the effort to overcome prejudice of Iranians, someday we'll all see past the hyperbolic distortions and hatred.

Thats it

Its really the point, there is difference of opinions every place. But its crazy to allow others to define what is good for Iran. Especially the guy who lives in Virginia, he was not that close to Iranian culture to begin with. I bet you he is more familiar with western culture than Iranian. Let Iranians take care of Iran and say No to any wars. Even Obama is stuck with the war machine. Iran needs to be protected.

what about mom?

by bikar (not verified) on Sun Feb 08, 2009 01:03 PM PST

I am happy for you that you live in U.S.A., and have been able to reconnect with your father's heritage.
However I did not hear one word about your mother and her American heritage, why is that?
