I am of Iran. She is me. My Fatherland. Ancient love beyond time & place.
The picture you see is Gaza. How many cities in Iran look as nice and plush? But that is not the image everyone in the world sees.
The day I see palestinians protest for HR of Iranians or any other people; I'll start caring about them. IRR supporters in the guise of HR tow the line palestinian cause and beat their chest have no problem supporting the criminal regime in Tehran, are having a field day with the convoy incident.
Is this a human rights issue, and are israeli's breaking all the rules left and right? No doubt. Does the world care and do something about it? Yes, more so than the attention plight of Iranians gets, and many other HR issues globally. Have the palestinians helped and supported this criminal regime knowing what they do to Iranian people? Yes and happily so. As long as they get paid for it.
The world is full of human rights violations. From Myanmar to pakistan. In all cases the suffocation, deaths, atrocities, shear scale of violence match or exceed palestine. Should we care more about palestine more? Not if you accept the premise that human rights are universal. Aung San Suu Kyi was prohibited from running on elections of Myanmar (among most abused people on the face of this planet) but I don't recall bleeding hearts writing blogs and memos with a typical snide and pompous attitude.
The palestinian life is supported by a slew of NGOs and organizations on top of UN, xyz etc. Plus millions of palestinians all over the world. They have a special status/passport and without them (or the israeli extremism) the middle east chaos cannot be maintained. This conflict supports them both as does tyrannical governments' excuses for existence all over the arab world and of course the IRR since the 79 devolution. palestinians are well aware of this and play along. Does that mean many of them not suffer under their own tyranny supported by IRR and others for a slew of reasons? sure it does.
I don't recall a single instance of meaningful support for Iranian people anywhere in the moslem world either, including many educated arabs here in the west? The very same arabs who bleed for palestine and financially support them. There were hundreds of them protesting in SF just yesterday.
Now when you bleed so hard for palestine, you have other motivations and agenda and little to do with 'suffering. Or, like most you have fallen for the never ending ruse.
If you do it on Iranian.com with all that is going on in Iran, anniversary of selection, rapes, Majid Tavakoli condition and overall context of what is happening to our fatherland, you are an IRR agent or apologist. And a rather shameless one at that.

It really is not Upto you to make that determination. Just because you don't wanna read or hear it does not mean people have either nothing to say or just wanna argue.
I did have something to say and i said it. Got a problem?
I do not argue with anyone especially with you. Worse than banging my head agains the wall.
Drop your arrogance and Takabor and stop telling people that they don't get it. Iran does not belong to Just you and your Ilk. So don't turn this about something that is not, namley boasting about How much you care about Iran and Iranian people and How everyone else is anti-Iranian or Arab lover.

"this war" is same as the one being predicted and projected
by oktaby on Fri Jun 11, 2010 01:30 PM PDTby many not anyone asking for one. I have not gotten an impression VPK wants war but s/he can elaborate.
I don't think anyone in their right mind would want or wish a war. That is why the ones who have the means and desire to do it are those I mentioned for reasons I mentioned. War is a very likely event absent a grand bargain by the islamic thugs at the expense of Iranians, or people of Iran disposing of islamic garbage.
If we agree on the focus being Iranians throwing the thugs out, then I'm glad as what we don't need now is distraction; islamic, eatern or western.

I do agree with you about how those two wars came about. No questions whasoever. But Vpk, wants this to happen, since he is already excited about its potential outcome, even though he vehemently tries to deny it right at the beginning.
I know very well predicting and projecting something is not the same as wishing for it. You are echoing his sentiments here:
"this war is first and foremost a desire of the ..." What war? Who is asking for a war?
People can talk and be concerned about anything they want to be. It should not bother you if they do not follow your exact footsteps or the instructions that you set up for them.
YES. I KNOW WHAT THE FOCUS IS.
Prediction & projection is not same as support
by oktaby on Fri Jun 11, 2010 08:33 AM PDTdespite your attempt at such misrepresentation DX. The original Afghan attack post 911 was a given and even supported in a limited context by most people around the world and lost its legitimacy when it became a different war. Iraq war had no support except in the media frenzied United States and in the context of 911 revenge and Bush lies. Bill Moyers said it elegantly that "the most patriotic thing any American can do is to oppose this war". However, a large number of people had predicted that war as Bush policies were motivated so.
Now with IRR is the same story. Predicting a war is not same as wishing it. It is bad for Iran and America, good for IRR & and U.S. corporate interest. It is a direct consequence of bunch of mercenary foreign thugs ruling an ancient nation via fascism and putting Iran at risks above and beyond the misery they have wrought on the country for the past 31 years. This war is first and foremost a desire of the IRR because it is about the last option to extend their filthy existence. That is besides a national massive Iranian uprising to throw them and their Hezi, felestini, lebanese and whatever other mercenaries and trash of the middle east out.
In the midst of all this their paid and free agents keep talking palestine. Tomorrow is the anniversary of selection, Neda & Sohrab and rest of the best of Iran. That is the focus.

Quit kidding yourself.

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Fri Jun 11, 2010 02:41 AM PDTI am not a proponent of attack on Iran by the USA. So you got that wrong. Need to read my post and not confuse them with other people.
However just because Bush did not attack Iran does not mean Obama won't. Bush was busy with Iraq then. It is done now. Obama is busy with Afghanistan now. Once he is done then it will be IRI. Pentagon knows that fighting IRI takes the full force of the USA there. So they are in no hurry to do so. Until Afghanistan is done. The Taliban will crumble under USA forces. They have no other choice. They are simple not a match. It will take time probably a couple of years maybe less. Once that is done: IRI's time is up.
This is my prediction.
We will see.

by bushtheliberator on Thu Jun 10, 2010 08:30 PM PDTdear Veiled Prophet of Khorasan,
I'm your frequent visitor,but seldom comment except to say that singing"Bomb,Bomb Iran" is purely emotional,and NOT operational.A longstanding calculation of the environmental,military,political, and economic consequences of an attack on Iran has not changed.Not gonna happen.I believe there are more proponents of US attacks on Iran at Iranian.com than there are in the Pentagon.The IRI has demonstrated its thirst for American blood in Iraq, but my dear President George Bush didn't 'bomb Iran'; do you really think O-Bambi would ?
OI, that is what she means to say

Shepesh, Thanks for the link and good observation.
"Khomeini: in this period, the Islamic Republic adopted a very hard-line and extremist policy towards (israel)...... as an illegitimate and faked regime based on aggression and religious racism." It is a perfect self description for IRR as well.
Without this, Iraq war extention, pre-signed oil contracts, IRR/khomeinism will not have been brought about or existed for long as an entity or a regime.

by Onlyiran on Sun Jun 06, 2010 10:51 AM PDTHere she is defending and justifying all of IRI's crimes, including rape and murder of Iranians. Now mind you that this is the same person who has been crying for a week about the nine Turks and Americans killed on the Gaza bound ship.:
A regime that invited a devastating war upon its
citizens by slaughtering the cadre of skilled military officers; this is like blaming a rape victim for letting her legs show in a compromising fashion.
-A regime that prolonged a devastating war... just like all other regimes engaged in war? current us ops in afghanistan included.
-A regime which used child soldiers— wrong to do, but how dare you dismiss the utmost sacrifice made by so many iranians in this fashion?
-A regime that executed tens of thousands of its
citizens for their opposition to its brutal rule; again, wrong to do, but unfortunately quite regular in violent revolutions. the 'civil war' tendency was started by the mujahedin.
-A regime that has jailed hundreds of thousands of
its citizens for their opposition to its brutal rule; fair point. however, on a per capita basis, iran has fewer prisoners than the us or israel. this includes political prisoners. not the worst case around.
-A regime that has devastated the Iranian military,
and is forced to fool its gullible supporters into thinking it’s
building fighter aircraft by re-painting 40 year old F-5’s and giving
them a new name; this sounds made-up. in any case, iran's military is far more self-sufficient than the previous regime.
-A regime that stands against the whole notion of
being Iranian..., sounds like a typical iranian-american distortion of the 'kiani contellation' type. you have been consuming too much 'samsam'.
-A regime that has plundered Iran’s wealth and is
sending billions of dollars of Iran’s wealth annually to foreign
terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah; subjective, politically motivated assessment. where is the cost-benefit analysis? hamas and hezbollah are legitimate resistance movements. hezbollah in particular has a great reputation and following and is a key ally against israel.
-A regime that has given away billions of Iran’s
dollars to Russian politicians and the Russian mob without getting
anything back in return; as above. iran has to manage russia, a potential enemy.
-A regime that puts the interests of Palestinians
and South Lebanese over the interest of Iran and Iranians. baseless claim.
-A regime that has denied equal rights to Iranian
women...; partially true. iran has a far bigger and more educated cadre of professional women than before the revolution. iranian men - of the regime or anti-regime type - are the real problem. the regime is a reflection.
-A regime that murders its own citizens on the
streets and blames it on the BBC; baseless accusation. violent demonstrations tend to cause casualties. this does not make the 'regime' a mass murderer of iranians.
-A regime that rapes its own citizens in prisons; caused by individuals not the regime.
-A regime that has caused the largest brain drain
in the history of Iran; bigger than chengis khan? pls show more objectivity when combining superlatives with 'history'.
-A regime that driven Iran’s economy into the
ground; baseless claim.
-A regime that has reduced the status and stature
of Iranians around the world; if you mean the world (rather than your own neighbourhood) when you say 'the world', the situation is quite the opposite.
-A regime that is itching to start a war with the
U.S.—at the expense of the Iran and its people-- to prolong its
miserable existence. absolute garbage!

by My Name Is Borat on Fri Jun 04, 2010 08:45 PM PDTAnyone who places the IR regime on a pedestal as NP does is neither lucid nor deep in vision. NP is a shallow, narrow-minded individual who relishes the freedoms of the West yet disparages those who provide them. People like that are devoid of all values and have no respect for others.
The facts of the past 31 years vis-a-vis the IR speak for themselves, and those who speak of either the acts committed or the players in this nightmare in a positive light as this person does deserves no quarter.

by Samer Srouji on Fri Jun 04, 2010 01:19 PM PDT"The concept of talking and exchaning with islamist is an oxymoron and you cronies of IRR are the part after the prefix."
When did I say that you should converse with Islamists? I said that you should converse with "Moslems" and educate yourself on the diversity of views that they hold. That you equate moslems with Islamists is ignorant at best, and racist at worst.
As for your obviously well thought out statement which I have quoted; that is exactly what someone from the extreme right-wing Israeli political establishment would say. Yes you should pat yourself on the back, that is an achievement.
I have no interest conversing with you either, you obviously know very little about the Middle East and your greatest talent seems to be labelling people. Congradulations.

1-You have no independent contribution. Come back when you do. The few comments you have left on this site are all about pal & isr., go to appropriate websites and analyze them until you drop
2-Pointing out the picture is Haifa, indicates you have not bothered to read anything on this thread and are here as a fictional character or crony of NP et al
3- I'm not interested in conversing with you. Had you bothered to read my comments you will have some vague idea why.
the last point is also for future reference. The concept of talking and exchaning with islamist is an oxymoron and you cronies of IRR are the part after the prefix. Send your more experienced meceneries and I may choose to have fun with them.

conversations of the blind
by Samer Srouji on Fri Jun 04, 2010 10:34 AM PDT"You openly and brazenly kiss the butts of AN and his handlers-criminals" - Borat
I am surprised at the constant personal attacks against NP; the labels and insults against her are unjustified. Borat your interventions don't even merit a response.
Niloufar has the depth of vision and lucidity to realize that what happens in one part of the Middle East, does matter. What happenned on the flotilla is actually very eye opening, because Israel has brashly applied its usual policies towards the Palestinians on an international shipment of aid-relief and volunteers. If this was really self-defence, then Israel would release the dozens of recorded testimonies of the journalists that were on board those ships ... of course all was confiscated. What are they trying to hide?
Israel will be measuring and analyzing the world's response very carefully. If they can get away with something like this with a light slap on the hand, then they can also get away with attacking Iran's nuclear installations, plus anythings else they feel like bombing and shredding in order to perpetuate misery. They have already been planning such an attack for years. and will trump up the same bogus arguments and lies to justify it. The EU and US response has been the typical limp-handed disregard for Israel's policies in the region.
Now who wants to fold their hands and focus only on Iranian issues??
Oktaby - I understand your position but your statement has many holes in it. You assume the Palestinians don't care about human rights or the situation in Iran - but which of us has actually asked them? I think an oppressed and occupied population actually can relate well to repression in other countries. Again, where is the evidence that moslems or arabs in the west don't show support for Iranians? And from there you conclude "logically" that they must be IRI agents or apologists for not doing so... There is no logic in the statement. The moslem world is extremely rich and diverse, and "moslems" do not act or respond as one unified mass, as u seem to imagine, instead they interpret things through their own cultural lens and socio-economic context, and surprise surprise, their views diverge on many issues too. You would do well to go out and actually meet some "moslems" from different countries and ask their views on different issues.
Oh and also about your picture; that is Haifa, Israel's second largest city - I am not sure whether this is a kind of joke on your behalf to make ppl think this is Gaza or Palestine. This seems to be the only hoax here.
Niloufar, thumbs up, patience is a virtue that few take the time to cultivate.

Just like Marge, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if she's actually a "Gazan," or as we say in America, an IRI supporting Palestinian.
OnlyIran, in your list of IRI stooges pretending to be a woman, you forgot "Irandokht," who was probably Nane Palestine's alter ego.
