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.

If you dare attack Bahaii, then you'll see, (as I will soon) how they would react angrily! Ready for the cover! If they had the power of IRI they would do the same! No democracy!
Never mind that I haven't belong to any religion for 30 years, but that's not going to stop their attacks and accusations that I am a supporter of IRI! They are here only for their own agenda! That's why they attak NP constantly to silent her!

Okteby (is that a secret mason sign?), I find it rather disappointing to see your anger and curse against whoever you disagree with! If you don't want to hear any opposing views, then why do you bother writing blogs all the time? Is this blog only good for Israeli/Bahaii propaganda? If you don't know by now, that people like me are not IRI supporters, and the opposite is true, then you have a problem with judgement!
Now, your bodies are coming to help! This is not the way to have a blog, when you are being so rude to people! Stop the persoan;l attacks which is against the rules of IC!

And this shameless propagandist has the UBER audacity to say this as we near the anniversary of Neda's murder.
Words like "porroo" and "audacity" and "gall" are not nearly strong enough to describe this drone's utter lack of decency and shame.

by boom shakalaka on Wed Jun 02, 2010 01:33 PM PDTI'm a little disappointed in your following quote, " I condemn the attack on the Gaza bound ships. I don't know of any reasonable people who do not condemn it."
Why would you condemn the attack on a Gaza bound ship? There was a blockade in place. These terrorists pack these "humanitarian" ships with arms and weapons for Hamas and Hezbollah. Never underestimate the degree of duplicity of Muslim radicals. The ship should have never tried to brazenly break the blockade. As an Iranian nationalist who would love nothing more than to burn the three Abrahamic religions to smithereens, I trust Muslims (shiits or sunnis) as far as I can toss man-hole covers.
In our fight against the bastards with turbans, the Palestinians are NOT our allies, no way, no how! They are our enemies! Pure and simple, lest we forget the thousands of Palestinians who fought against us in the Iran/Iraq war. As that ugly homosexual terrorist Yasser Arafat, who died of AIDS by the way (that's a fact, not an opinion), once famously said, "Iranians are our friends, but the Iraqis are our brothers."

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Wed Jun 02, 2010 01:22 PM PDTI give you credit for being honest and asking. So here we go:
In addition IRI is routinely torturing; raping (yes really the real kind; they do it); and murdering Iranians. They practice child executions (I know so does US; but that is not a justification). In short: if it were not for the IRI Iranians would be much safer and more prosperous. Plus they won't be getting routinely executed. FYI: the IRI bills the families for the bullets they use to murder their children. I know these; I personally know of youth put to death by the IRI.
There are not TV news to me. They are personal. I know people. When you ask a mother how is her son and she tells you: he was executed that hits close to home. Something I hope you never have to deal with.

by Dan Huck on Wed Jun 02, 2010 12:48 PM PDTI'm trying to learn. Not knowing the country, the religion, the history, the culture,nor the language, there is no doubt there are many things I am mistaken about. One thing I hope to do is get a sense of what Iranian expats believe about the pros and cons of externally 'facilitated' regime change.
You have indicated in your opinion the US and Israel are not l/l000 the threat the IRI is to the people of Iran. May I take that to mean you feel the death and devastation being visited upon the Palestinians over the past 60 years, or the example of our 'regime change' operation in Iraq are reasonable prices those people should be willing to pay, or that the chances of something like that happening to Iran are less than one in a thousand?
Or are you saying life in Iran for 70 million people is already like anything the Iraqi or Palestinian people are living with?
Thanks for your patience!

My last paragraph is a position statement and opinion given my priorities along with you and rest of IRR supporters history and blogs. That you respond to IRR comment is self explanatory. If you support IRR and AN as you do, I consider you to be my enemy. I'm not speaking in tongues so can't make it any more clear than that. When you speak of palestine while atrocities in Iran are several times worse, that makes you a @#$%%^ enemy.
Now you specifically are a black sheep whether you acknowledge/accept it or not. Therefore, all your statements and comments here are just plain dishonest, disruptive and outright fraudulent.

by Niloufar Parsi on Wed Jun 02, 2010 09:43 AM PDTi am more than happy giving people exactly what they deserve. if the debate is not about values, what is it about at all? there is an outrageously racist message in this blog that any person serious about human rights would question. if so many predators here are totally allowed to dish out nasty personal attacks and stupid allegations against anyone who espouses peace and greater understanding, then they should be happy to receive the same. i see only israel, usa and a few loud mouths here scream for blood against iran on a regular basis. they also have the gall to call others 'apologists'. as far as i am aware most iranians are against greater tension with the outside world, and ahmadinejad's way would be a milder and more sensible choice for them than the predators here pushing aipac's line as 'iranians'. good for them. what i don't get is: how the heck does this sell-out pack end up calling others 'apologists'?

Dan, your questions stem from your biased understanding
by oktaby on Wed Jun 02, 2010 09:38 AM PDTand belief system. I don't care for religion or the hysteria and misinformation it feeds masses. My comment on Ju/Chr. in political context and clear so I'll leave that alone. Suffice to say most of the blood spilled over the last few thousand years sits at the door of these 3 franchises.
Many of those same secular jews are zionists so I don't even know what 'brotherhood' means in that context. I think that definition will be as limited as your questions. You pick on lower case on palestine but not the lower case I use on israel which exposes your bias, driving what you choose to pay attention to or pick on. Along the same lines I believe in many things for many good reasons both moral and intellectual. I can just about assure you that it won't jive with your religious views for the same reasons I explained. I can also add that I find 'brotherhood of mankind' in the context of any religion an oxymoron.

Christians see themselves as linked to Jews
by Dan Huck on Wed Jun 02, 2010 08:40 AM PDTChristians hardly saw themselves linked with Jews?
Is that what you learned in your tradition?
Coming from a Christian background and upbringing, I learned Christianity, like Islam, is an outgrowth of Judaism - a new covenant with the same people, but opening up to all people.
Isn't that the tradition George Washington was drawing on respectfully when he spoke to the members of the synagogue in Newport, RI?
The current term Judeo/Christian, I agree with you (I think) is used politically to set up in crowds and out crowds. It would make more sense theologically to me if it were Judeo/Christian/Islam.
Most Jews, especially in the secular tradition, believe in the Brotherhood of Man. How about you? I ask you this so directly, because I see you refer to Palestinians in lower case (does this mean they are low in some way?). I ask you this also because I wonder if you lump all Palestinians together, kind of like in a mass grave?

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Wed Jun 02, 2010 07:56 AM PDTThe IRI is a direct threat to Iran. US / Israel are not even close. You are obviously mistaken or have an agenda. The mullahs are stealing and literally raping Iranians. They murder the children and suck our blood. The US and Israel are not 1/1000 the threat that mullahs are. If you had any objectivity you will know it.

VPK, everyone condemns the Gaza attack. Those harping on that do it with an agenda.
Boom, cheers. The very belief system of mullahs puts them in a position of traitors and abusers. That is not DJN but history.
Fooladi, do you really think he can/wants to hear or understand U?
Dan, what you bring up is a different discussion. I would say the world is a prisoner of religion. Separating islam from Jud/Chr. is simply a division along political alignments and regional interests. Even the Judeo Christian idea is a recent terminology as Christians hardly saw themselves linked with jews: never mind the Religious right and Babylon nonsense. That is just another made up subjective prophecy/fallacy. And jews are ok with that association because of its political expediency as majority of jews don't see themselves as extension of Christians.
Perhaps we'll revisit this.

by Cost-of-Progress on Wed Jun 02, 2010 07:47 AM PDTCalling those who do not agree with your ideology racist and AIPAC agents (in lower case) is not unexpected of those whose ideology is a failed one - tried and defeated, as in nice on paper, but impractical. Can you say Soviet Union?
