looks very intriguing and comprehensive and can be seen here. I haven’t seen the whole thing yet but I will as soon as I have a chance.

PBS Frontline’s New Iran Documentary

Never underestimate the media’s ability to produce sheer garbage only slightly more sophisticated than our resident idiot Arash. PBS, to be fair, is far more intelligent and serious than the rest, so we shall judge when we see. In general, topics like this should be read on paper in books in order to catch all the nuances. Given Arash’s completel lack of knowledge on virtually everything he writes (rememmber when he said that Stalin killed more Jews than Hitler!!) and his shockingly poor grammar, im going to assume hes stupid bc hes more than somewhat illiterate.
Would the Nazis not be proud?
“Israel draws up plan to cut off Gaza electricity”
http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=1702942007
Israel doesn’t target civilians, right? Lets see, a human prison subject to intense economic blockade and now being threatened to have its electricity cut off. Yes, Israel is a despicable regime which should be wiped away.
And EVERYONE should read the new Amnesty Report about the increasing thuggishness and repression of both Fatah and Hamas in occupied Palestine.
I don’t thnk you can see it through that link. Also, I couldn’t find anything on youtube. Hopefully there will be a re-play, since I missed most of it and don’t really want to order any frontline DVDs.
Hi Nazanin, the link should work. I clicked on it and it took me the site. Once there, you have to click on the link that reads “Watch the Full Program Online.”
Let me know if it works.
My bad!!! In my defense, I’m getting glasses very soon after my vision insurance kicks in. Thanks!!
Wow, the fat ones blog is really dead these days. No wonder he comes over here to spam your post. And how much does it say about him that right when I asked him a direct question about what he has said in the past, he dissappeared with no trace. By the way, Pouya, check your email, sent you some interesting info about his…
😉
My blog isn’t dead. 🙂 check it out. You can click on my name. I made some head shots of Mohammad Jafari which I’m rather proud of.He’s the hottest Iranian Government official. LOL. There is also a video of yeltsin singing and what could be better? Leave a comment! I just fixed the comments which I previously had locked.
Nazanin, in your blog, you said, “The only Iranian terrorists/suicide bombers to date are part of the same terrorist group who killed American foreign service members and Iranians.”
Do we have to go through the state terrorism of Iran against Kurds to show why this isn’t true? What about irans sponosring of fanatical Shiite militias that have ethnically cleansed the Palestinians of Iraq? What about the use of force and violence to quell large demonstrations?
Israel has just cut electricity to Gaza. Wil someone please get rid of this horrendous state and save us all?
I agree with what you’re saying about force, but I was referring to suicide bombers who are labelled terrorists by the United States. That is the point relevent to what the United States is charging against Iran in Iraq. This group engages in the same behavior the US is accusing Iran of, yet the US then turns around and harbors and uses them to make the US Iran policy. As for sponsoring Shiite militias, I think in Iraq it makes sense to because of the Al Askaria mosque.
As for other State Dept. considerations about Iran as a state-sponsor of terror, I also understand those, but I have a problem with using them as a reason to act against Iran militarily. That was one of the considerations for war in iraq and the war there has done little to end that kind of violence.
I dont deny there are REASONS for what Iran did and has done in Iraq with regards to the Badr corps and such, I just say, we should look at the consequences and see if eithnically cleansing Palestinians in Iraq is terrorism or not. It is. And I never use hypocritical and completley ridiculous Western standards of terrorism, I use standards that conform with the basic definitiion of the word and basic human rights in which all humans are actualy considered human. Moreover, I think your reasoning is slightly flawed with regards to the MEK. As despicable and cultish an organization it is, it hasnt engaged in suicide bombings RECENTLY from what I know. In fact, i think its been well over a decade. Then again, I dont know what kind of acts it has engaged in IRan in the last decade or so that could be considered terrorism, but I dont think suicide bombings are one of them. Id love to be corrected on this, though. And of course, we all agree how insane and retarded it would be to invade Iran. About as retarded as Arash the occupation soldier who ive concluded has a learning disorder. No one is that stupid.
MEK has definitely moved on from bombing people, but that’s no comfort to the Americans and Iranians with murdered family members. I think this group has much more sophisticated tactics now as they (sadly) have many many supporters and some of whom are taken away from their families against their wishes.
I had no idea Iran was engaged in “ethnic cleansing” in Palestine. I doubt whether the US gives a damn? I’m a literature student and I wish I knew more about this stuff, but that’s part of the reason I’m drawn to this site as well as informed comment.
“I had no idea Iran was engaged in “ethnic cleansing†in Palestine.”
The Palestinians of Iraq have been turned into refugees again bc of Shiite death squads supported by Iran. This is not in Palestine.
Aaahhahahahh! Last year smiley face thought Israel would be wiped off the map. This year Israel bombed a Syrian nuclear reactor. And they’re cutting off electricity to Hamastan. And there’s NOTHING you can do to stop it. Good ol’ USA is behind Israel as always, and Israel is doing what it wants. What’s next? Israel is getting stealth fighter jet bombers from the USA by 2012 : ) that’s something to smile about!! ahahahaha!!!
Let the good times roll!
The end of zionism wont be from a military confrontation with some Arab regime which is more interested in its own power than resistance to ZIonism you nitwit. Moreover, there are may reports about the Syrian project, many different analyses, amazing to see how quickly you came to your own conclusion. Hey, remember when you said Israels GDP/capita is higher than the UAE’s? Did you get around to doing the GDP/population problem I assigned you? I imagined you wouldnt. 🙂
JZ why are you happy about people suffering? Doesn’t it bother you that Israel is hurting itself with these policies? creating more enemies? never getting closer to the day when Israel can enjoy peace? Not one day of peace since its creation and yet you’re happy about that because Arabs will die. Very sad.

JZ how long do you think Israel will last if it continues its current policies? Don’t you think it’s a bit self-destructive?
Naz Naz, dont try to rationalize. Its pointless, he think that Israels destruction will come at the hands of Syria or some Arab army or something. In other words, he has such a fundamental ignorant outlook on the entire history of the conflict and the wars that occurred that you cant even begin. The key with these people is to get into the specifics and expose the falsfications of what they say, bit by bit, and chop away at their underlying false assumptions and non-truths. Hence, JZ says Israel has a much much higher GDP/capita than the UAE.
