31. Lets see if a single Arab/Muslim country complains about it?
David ,   Boston, USA   (05.19.06)
Arab/Muslim countries need to PROVE they are not racist by going on the offensive against Iranian-Aryan policy. If they dont, it is more proof that Nazi Germany has moved to Nazi Islam/Arabia.

34. IN ADDITION TO NO14
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON   (05.19.06)
Exactly, and well said.How about the number plates in the occupied lands?
35. No Worries
Jon C. ,   Minneapolis, MN   (05.19.06)
the only difference between the WWII Hitler era and now is the Jews have their state, which has proven itself again and again against arab/muslim aggression. I do agree all Jews need to leave Iran after this is implemented, we will rescue them by force if necessary.

37. WIll Jihad Noam wear one too?
Russel ,   tel Aviv, Israel   (05.19.06)
It's only fair that should he ever visit Iran they can all see him for what he is.
38. Achmed-is-a nutjob
Yoel Ariel ,   US   (05.19.06)
Oooooo! Someone looking to have a extra large can of Whup Ass opened in his honor. Them's fightin' words ya low down son of a head bumping, butt flauntin' camel rapin' , goat shaggin, nose pickin', ass scratchin' son of a Islami slicer. Well enough of the honorifics and on to specifically naming the as-hole. Achmedinee-rjabba-bag-of crap Chief mental Patient of the once great country known as Persia, which has turned into a huge outdoor toilet AFTER the Shah of Shahs' untimely demise.
39. The Ribbon is a sign of respect!
Ellen Prescott ,   Southsea, Hampshire   (05.19.06)
Don't you realise that in Iran, all minorities are cherished and valued? And to further show Iran's respect for their many minority populations, they are granting them with a very beautiful yellow ribbon, to wear proudly, as minorities in the great republic of Iran. Stop this ludicrous Nazi comparison!
40. #14 "racist" license plates
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (05.19.06)
There is no such thing as "racist" license plates. Israel issues Israeli license plates to Israelis. There is no difference in the license plates issued to Jews or Arabs. The Palestinian authority issues PA license plates to Palestinians. Since no Jews are allowed to live in the PA, that is racist in and of itself. Palestinians like to take random shots at cars with Israeli license plates, which can be driven by Jews, Arabs, or Christians.
41. Joan from Haifa
AK   (05.19.06)
No, he is following his faith -- Islam, which quite obviously is not exactly a religion of peace. And your idiot of a mayor wants you to be in the same predicament in haifa when he advocates for the jews to become a minority in Israel.
42. Tie a yellow ribbon
yakov shani ,   Israel   (05.19.06)
round the old B G Airport, we will give you all a homecoming welcome.
43. # 21
yakov shani ,   Israel   (05.19.06)
You are a five star idiot.
44. keren she's right.(13).
stephane ,   france   (05.19.06)
it's been many months that i read about the antisemitism of hugo chavez(the new hero of the communists accross the world).he's already friend with "palestinians",and now ,i learned from keren,he's coming closer to livingstone(the antisemit mayor of london).jews should leave venezuela,the situation can get worst for them there.
45. Iranian jews should wear...
Guido ,   Milano Italy   (05.19.06)
If the information is correct, the whole world should for once react vigourously (and with humour): all Iranian citizens whe abroad should be obliged to wear special badges or ribbons or whatever: not to do so should become a criminal punishable offense.
46. Can't figure out if #39 is ironic or simply nuts ?
Jul ,   Paris   (05.19.06)
Can anyone tell me ?
47. There is nothing anyone can do
Tacomaniac ,   Philly   (05.19.06)
There is no way this crazy regime will listen to anyone. The more boycotts, the more it will impower this pysco nutjob, and the more he will like the attention, and when it stops, he will do something more insane maybe like rounding them up, and Ghettoizing Jewish people in his country. The only way to stop this regime, is phyisical removal. Who has the guts to step up to the plate? It will be a very hard war to win if there is no carpet bombing or indiscriminate attacking, so 100's of 1000's of people will lose their lives in such a war.
48. RESPONSE TO AMERICAN THREATS?
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (05.19.06)
One wonders what's behind this, assuming the story proves to be true. Is it a response to American threats? If so, the extreme hardline of Bush and his Neoconservative friends will have backfired, with innocents to suffer.
49. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!! for sure!!!!!
Esther ,   San Diego, CA   (05.19.06)
I just came back from the march of the living. My eyes witnessed something my head cannot process. My responsability with the world to educate and teach how much hate can destroy. LISTEN WORLD....... This will never happen again.
50. Get the hell out of iran, jews!
parsi ,   iran   (05.19.06)
51. Wind blew her tinfoil hat away
Yoel Ariel ,   US   (05.19.06)
Hey Ellen, Off your meds again. Take a nice stroll on your old beat, and hope the Bill is not rousting the Toms/
52. SO..WHAT CAN WE DO - THE INDIVIDUALS
andrew ,   miami,fl   (05.19.06)
IF ANYONE KNOWS WHO IS GONNA TAKE THIS GUY DOEN, OR WHERE WE CAN GO TO DO IT...PLEASE..LET ME KNOW dont just sit there and complain over the net andrewleidner@hotmail.com
53. to #43
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (05.19.06)
You disagree with my points? Perhaps my argument has flaws. Yakov, do you think the Iranian government should have concerns about a fifth column of Jews within its borders? It did have to hang many Jewish spies in the past. Maybe benjie's comparison to license plants has validity after all. They need to keep track of spies (Jews).
54. He is the President
Wise Man ,   USA   (05.19.06)
He is the elected prisedent of Iran and he can do what ever he wants. If you do not like it leave the country and go to Israel and enjoy the fare treatment of the jews from the middle east.
55. Yellow Ribbons - What about B'Hai?
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (05.19.06)
I don't see any mention about the color ribbon for the B'Hai people? Will they be slaughtered again, like in 79? Maybe Ahmadinejad only owns a yellow, blue and red crayons.
56. #14 license plates
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (05.19.06)
Hey Benje - you live in New York, what color are you plates? Bet they are different then my California plates. My doctor has a special kind of plates, and so does my elderly handicapped neighbor. So do those trucks driving thru the US from Mexico and Canada. What a bunch of racists!!!!
57. Benji, you are evil and pathetic
Jonathan and Mollie ,   Pennsylvania   (05.19.06)
Can you imagine the level of depravity that excuses the horrendous level of bigotry and intolerance towards Christians and Jews by writing about License plates? These nazi Iranians, through their twisted beliefs, want to identify non-muslims because they consider non-muslims as unclean and not fit to have contact with. Also, it will be easier to identify these non-muslims when Iran decides to implement its final solution. Yet, this stupid piece of dreck who calls himself Benji defends such racism by pointing out the difference between Israeli license plates and those issued by the Palestinians.
58. # 39
yakov shani ,   Israel   (05.19.06)
# 21 is a five star idiot, you beat him by one star.
59. they have made the choice
gil ,   ashkelon   (05.19.06)
At the very beginning of Khomeiny reign,Israel asked Iranian Jewry to leave and settle in Israel,sending a fleet of planes.They rejected the offer.Who is to blame?It has been always the same story.What once was impossible for european jews has been an option for Iranians to save their lives.I am not sorry for them.
60. untrue?
