4. Iranian Jews elect thier own MP
Anoosh   (01.04.06)
Maurice Motamed is the elected Jewish MP in Iran. The Iranian Constituiton, which was created after the Revolution, recongizes Jewdaism,Christianity and Zoratrianism as the official religions in Iran. The largest Jewish population in the ME, outside Israel, still lives in Iran

7. Who Are You Kidding Anoosh
tinashkuli   (01.04.06)
The Council of the Jewish Community, which was established after World War II, is the representative body of the community. The Jews also have a representative in parliament who is obligated by law to support Iranian foreign policy and its anti-Zionist position. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/anti-semitism/iranjews.html
8. The Jewish "Nation"?
Russell ,   Miami   (01.04.06)
"A study conducted by a major Jewish organization in the United States revealed that the Jewish nation has a significant number of representatives in parliaments across the globe considering it is only 13 million strong." Don't you mean the Jewish PEOPLE?

I visited the site you posted. Thanks for the info. Two points, not all Jews have bought into the Zionist fascism and racism. True to form the site does not mention the Muslims who were arrested along with the Jews for whatever charges that the Iranian goverment had come up with. I am wondering why there is no mention of those Muslims in the literature - they went to jail for being friends of the Jews after all? This is following the same pattern as talking about the Holocaust. The Zionists only talk about themselves when they talk about the "history" of the German Nazi atrocities, as if they were the ONLY ones suffered. No wonder so many people, including a lot of descent Jews hate Zionism. I am not Jewish so I won't attemp to say who represents the Jewish community in Iran or anywhere else. That is irrelevant to the subject at hand here. The fact is that Jewdaism is a recognized as one of the official religions in Iran, unlike many othre Muslim countries. The foreing policy of Iran is anti-Zionist, not anti-Jewish, for a good reason. That's becasue the Zionists are terrorists, aggressors, occupiers and expansionist. Someone has to stand up to them. The US Congress adn Administration are bought and intimidated by the pro-Israel lobbies, the Europeans are guilted to submission, and the Arabs are incompetent and short sighted. That leaves Iran that is following its ancients tradition of defending the uderdog - the same reason which compelled the Iranans to rescue the Jews from Babylon and invite them to live among themselves and protect them for centuries. I am very proud of that tradition. I don't know any Iranians who hate Jews, but I sure know a lot of them who hate Zionist fascists. Don't you hate the KKK and other fascists?

Anoosh- To you, what is Zionism? To me, it is the belief in Israel's right to exist as the Jewish state, and I certainly don't see that as fascist.
11. COURT JEWS HAVE NEVER DONE GOOD FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE
Chaim   (01.06.06)
CONTRARY TO THE JUDEO-PATH'S CRIES OF THE JEWS CONTROLING EVERYTHING...WHEN JEWS REACH SUCH A HIGH POSITION AMONG THE NATIONS THEY INEVITABLY TRY TO "PROVE" HOW EVEN HANDED THEY ARE, NOT HELPING THEIR FELLOW JEWS OR ISRAEL "TOO MUCH". CASE IN POINT, HENRY KISSINGER...
12. Jewish Member of Parliament
Rhyad Hamid ,   Toronto,Canada   (01.06.06)
Janet Rosenberg Jagan is a Jew and served as a member of parliament in Guyana and eventually became the Prime Minister of Guyana. Here is her geneology. http://www.guyanaca.com/JanetJagan1.html
13. Jews are everywhere
Jason ,   London, UK   (03.29.06)
Funny how the jews seem to get in every nook and cranny of any host country they find themselves in. Unfortunately the unsuspecting populations then have Isreal firsters running their affairs. This must stop- now !, and I'm not anti- semetic either !

Anoosh, Please.... I have several friends who are Iranian Jews. Some grew up in well-to-do families, others in poor families in remote places in Iran. All speak of vehement anti-Jewish feelings they faced, made worse by the islamic revolution. I can also speak of my own family's experience in Iraq - they barely escaped, fleeing under cover of night - and still recall the hatred they faced over 60 years later. Most Jews of Middle Eastern descent who I know have very nothing but disdain for the countries they fled 50-60 years ago. It is Jews of Middle Eastern descent who are most hawkish in Israel. Perhaps they know better than anyone else who they are dealing with... If you are trying to convince Jews and Israelis that they would be loved by all in the Middle East if only they gave up their government and became a minority in a large islamic nation you have lost that battle - NO ONE BELIEVES YOU. Try something else. Also, why don't you ask the Jews of Jerusalem how they fared after Jordan (a relatively moderate Islamic nation by all accounts) took Jerusalem over in 1948? Oops,never mind, all Jews were evicted from Jerusalem between 1948 and 1967 after having lived there for thousands of years. Who is facist? Who is racist?? Please...spare us... All Jews and Israelis believe that the only thing between them and another holocaust at the hands of Iran and the arab nations is the IDF. Can you really dispute that?
