2. Iran hopes to anger Israeli's by this appointment.
Daniel ,   Los Angeles, USA   (11.02.09)
Iran must think that Israeli's will be so outraged by this appointment that Israeli leadership will become flustered and incapacitated with regard to the Iranian/Russian nuclear weapons program. The Iranian appointment is funny, and it will be fun to blockade Iran.
3. The Islamic Republic of Iran
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.02.09)
... executed eleven people in the month of October 2009, including three women and two juveniles. They share so much in common with the Nazis; rather strange they would deny the Holocaust. But that's okay. It's a sure-fire formula for not being taken seriously by the countries in the world that matter. And they aren't. Two months until Christmas. The clock is ticking on the Islamic Republic.
4. :: An Open Question
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (11.02.09)
If I was to say something as simple as: I support the compulsory transfer of Israelis and I don't see anything immoral in it. Would I be considered 'Anti-Israeli'? Would I be considered ‘evil, a low-life, a Jew-hater’?
5. He even looks like Rasputin...

Birdi ,   Israel   (11.02.09)
Ramin is completely insane, a crackpot. The best we can do is IGNORE him.
7. Hey, Mohammad-Ali Ramin , your days are numbered
Yosi ,   Tel Aviv   (11.02.09)
8. Quelle Surprise? - NO
Christy ,   Boston, US   (11.02.09)
Frankly, I'd be shocked if anyone in the Iranian leadership was NOT Anti-Semite.
9. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.02.09)
No, you would not be seen as "anti-Israel." Nor would you be considered an "evil, a low-life, a Jew-hater?" Some of us might invite you to suggest whom you think might actually call for it in a forum that might render it enforceable, and then invite you to suggest who might be able to force such a compulsory transfer on a strong (nuclear) military power. But I believe that must of us would simply shake our heads sadly and wonder if medication would help you with your severe mental illness. Trust I've answered your questions.

...he's calling Jews filthy? He looks like he hasn't taken a bath in years! Wash your hair mate! lol
11. MIRROR IMAGE
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (11.03.09)
While Ynet publishes every occurrance of anti-semitism in the world, which has become an epidemic, it is just a mirror of what is happening here. Ynet and most of the Israeli media are just as guilty of demonizing and inciting hatred on a daily basis of the religious Jews here. Many of their articles would not even be published by the outside world, because of their vicious, vile accusations and blatant hatred towards a certain segment of our population. The media here has a very large part in the ever increasing hatred towards us. Don't expect anything different with so much self hatred and lack of pride. You made your own bed now sleep in it.
12. What a travesty
Eve ,   New York, USA   (11.03.09)
to call this idiot a historian.
13. :: Sarah B - Cheers
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (11.03.09)
Grand so, what you are saying is that if I support the compulsory transfer of Israelis and if I don't see anything immoral in it I am not 'anti-Israel'/etc. Thanks for clarifying.
14. shoa / Holocaust denial
AY_Lamb ,   Globestan   (11.03.09)
Way more common then reported. Go to Yizkor.net and you'll see. The best thing about that site, people can post their opinion in relative anonymity. The reason why that is important is because most people are too smart to just honestly answer a direct questionaire on this topic. Particularly Christians, who can't help but obfuscate the inherant anti-semitism in their doctrines/beliefs. Just had a my 1,000,000th conversation with a senior officer here about how Islam is violent and christianity is a religion of peace. I told him "all religions are violent and I challenged him to present me with any supernatural belief system / religion that was absent of violence and I told him that I would show him a violent aspect of it. People use religion to worship themselves and affect control over others, just an emperical, flat, fact, sorry to all the religionist out there. But, don't be too disgruntled / purterbed by my statement because there are many other mechanism to satiate our inherant need to inflict cruelty on others. Even atheism can take on the attributes of theology. My goal until war is over is to remind christian zeolots and fundementalist that the path of violence is fleeting in comfort and satisfaction it provides, it is shortsighted and myopic. Wish me luck!

16. "minister of culture" as if there is any culture in iran.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.03.09)
Culture is what you call going to the opera, creating a painting that others admire or building artistic structures such as bridges or castles. Throwing people in jail for demonstrating, killing people on any whim, building bombs to kill innocent people is not culture, there is NO culture in iran.
17. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.03.09)
No, of course you aren't! I never implied otherwise -- I merely suggested that you were misinformed, and therefore unaware of the facts. Nothing immoral in that. Nothing immoral in being severely mentally ill, either. Take your pick. Glad to have clarified. Have a really nice night. (I am a BIG fan of Fairport Convention, by the way. Oh my goodness! A commonality! Who'd a thunk!) Although you know what? "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" does it for me! Solidly in my top 10 all-time great songs ....
18. Anti-Semitism
Ron B. ,   Lod   (11.03.09)
Anti-Semitism, the hate of Jews, is a phenomenon on which much has been said and written. Anti-Semitism doesn’t even need Jews in order to prosper (It existed in Japan although there were no Jews living in Japan). Anti-Semitism is one of the ugliest defect in human kind and it provokes the appearance of the most primitive and bestial instinct in human nature. Nowadays, it is carried, supported and promoted by Islam. If one wants to fight anti-Semitism one has to oppose the sermons and incitements preached in the Mosques against Jews. We have to fight anti-Semitism as explained at : http://xrl.us/kw6hh
19. Do expect more from Ahmadinejad? (END)
simple man ,   Granada Hills, USA   (11.03.09)
20. In Iran
m0 ,   toronto, Canada   (11.03.09)
The sole requirement for a job is not whether a man questions the holocaust. When did that phenomenon happen? And being anti semitic has nothing to do with questioning the holocaust. Hating jews is anti semitic, not questioning the holocaust.
21. Minister of No Culture
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.03.09)
His job is to make sure there is no culture in Iran, particularly no western culture. And of course, no opposition to the government. Imagine how the 20,000 Jewish citizens of Iran feel listening to this guy froth at the mouth.
22. I just bought a pig
zach ,   US   (11.03.09)
and named him Mohammed
23. UNESCO
Shmuel ,   Israel   (11.03.09)
I guess he is now the front runner to be the next Director-General of UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
24. #15 Genocidal Planet of the Apes
Logic ,   Israel   (11.03.09)
Even Hollywood's best screenwriters couldn't come up with such a freak show.
25. If we listen to Israeli sources.. Everyones Anti Semite
RJBH ,   Methil   (11.03.09)
even Jews who are not Zionist in their orientation... The guy has a job to do for Iran.. then of course by this definition Zionist accuse.. a bit like Cry Wolf... Trivial, Repetitive and Tiresome.
26. #25 Your posts are
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.03.09)
Trivial, repetitive and tiresome. It's typcially the anti-semites who oppose use of the term. They don't like to be exposed for what they are.
