2. biased Iranian-people-hating article!
Iranian ,   Iran   (03.06.06)
i grew up in Iran and my faviorate cartoon was Tom and Jerry as well as Pink Panther. now, somehow, the writter of this article is attempting to portrate ALL IRANIANS as jew-obbssed idiots who have nothing better to do than to pick on Israel and Tom and Jerry. the moron officials of Iran being anit-semite, A**holes, who terrorize their own people is no big secret and nothing new. but why trying to implicate that all Iranians share this stupid rhetoric? i think this article along with many others try to demonstrate Iranian people as a bunch of lunatic, uneducated cavemen. once and for all SEPERATE THE IRANIAN PEOPLE FROM THE ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT!!! unless it benefits you to do otherwise, for your own propoganda puposes.
3. The Iranians keep setting newer&higher records for stupidity
Tahl ,   Israel   (03.06.06)
And this one truly hits the mark. :) This remark is so stupid, that even Der Sturmer would've been reluctant to post such a thing... But actually, is it really surprising, coming from a country whose leader denied the holocaust, vowed to destroy Israel, and sent the Jews to live in Alaska?
4. "It hurts my poor wittle brainium" (tweety bird).
D- ,   San Diego, USA   (03.06.06)
Uh...ok...I am confused. Wouldn't that be a good thing, if it were true. What's wrong with trying to help kids feel ok about themselves if they've been through hell? This guys logic is so contorted that I don't even want to write anymore about it.
5. reply to #2 - good Iranian friends
michael ,   tel aviv   (03.06.06)
I think that you would be happier if the word 'regime' were added each time the word 'Iranian' was used. Many people in Israel have good friends that are Iranian and know the difference between the regime and the people. I didn't and don't see the article in the way that you see it. regards, Mike P.S. And I hope that you good guys overthrow the regime before either the US or Israel bombs the sites in the next few months !

Nobody is saying that ALL IRANIANS are jew-obsessed idiots but it's a fact that many of present Iran's most prominent rulers are jew obsessed idiots.

I think you are wrong about how Israeli's and Jews in general think about the Iranian people. A lot of times I hear people here in Israel say that it is a shame that an intelligent people like the Iranians have to live under such a disgusting dictatorship. And we did not forget how Iranians were before the revolution. I hope for yours and our sake that there will be change in Iran and his people, but for now they are leading the people into a nuclear war and death. But don't forget Israel and the Jews are being attacked almost every week by the Iranian government and it is not a nice picture. For you and all peaceful Iranians I wish you all the best..
9. he has a point: spiegelmans comic "maus"
uli ,   jerusalem   (03.06.06)
the jews are mice and the nazis are cats. but even if somebody wanted to make this point, surely not to conspire.
10. to 2
uli ,   jerusalem   (03.06.06)
of course never all people are the same. But if there is a moral and righteous majority in Iran they should get rid of their government soon, since shutting up is like agreement with this evil and crazy government. There were also good germans in nazis germany, but obviously not enough or not brave enough. Sadly in the end the righteous minority has to suffer from the deeds of the evil majority. I hope you make a change!

Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (03.06.06)
I think its clear that the writer is referring to the "Iranians" as the Iranian government. Nowehere in the article does it specifically mention the "Iranian People". Everyone knows that there is a difference between the Iranian people and the goverment so no need to get paranoid. Plus also dont point the finger at us either. you have no right. If anything your attitude could be a bit more sympathetic especially considering the offensive nature of the cartoons.
12. Most interesting clip. Watch & pass on pls

Joan ,   Haifa   (03.06.06)
To #1: Great link - thanks! To #7: What are you driving at here? That we should automatically take seriously anybody who has an impressive resume perhaps? Dumb unintended comedy is dumb unintended comedy, no matter who says it.
16. Corpulent innocent Arab children
Robert Cohn ,   Hamburg   (03.06.06)
Ouh, an Iranian politician consideres Tom & Jerry to be a part of a Jewish conspiracy which is intended to teach us, that dirty mice (drawn by the devil, by whom else?) were smart and that poor cats (drawn by G"d, by whom else?) were thereby pigged like Porky Pig. But the politician ommitted an immense mass of further most outrageous an most spurious details, meanwhile the most ghastly detail is that also Popeye has been drawn by Jews who wanted to teach innocent Arab children that dirty infidel seamen had vegetables for breakfast like those from good Arab greengrocers. Meanwhile they indeed only use to have innocent Arab children for breakfast. And he ommitted that Jewish Barbapapa again shall teach innocent Arab children that thick pink Jews were nice, what they are indeed not, an that the Jewish artists of Barbapapa thereby want to impose their own corpulence to innocent Arab children - which they of course have lost along time ago, well, both of them have lost their corpulence, the ex-corpulent guilty Jews and the innocent Arab children as well, but both did this because of most different reasons, it's because guilty ex-corpulent Jews only use to have very skinny innocent Arab children for breakfast, because since the exploitation of that innocent ex-corpulent Arab children's world by that corpulent pink and guilty Jewish world of that time there are no corpulent innocent Arab children any more but only very skinny innocent Arab children, but those therefore also very skinny guilty and pink Jews by now prefer to have very corpulent innocent Arab children for breakfast and no more skinny ones at all, and that it's because they got the idea to draw a corpulent guilty Jewish Barbapapa and so on, and also the whole conspiration goes on, which I prefer to omit now, and it then leads to corpulent guilty pink and Jewish W.C. Fields, who is supposed to have said that anyone who had dogs and innocent Arab children for breakfast could not be a really bad man, and whoever might consider that this quotation were falsified is an enemy of G"d and he shall be breakfasted on.

I've now watched this clip a number of times. It is truely wonderful. This is one very couragous woman. It this was filmed in a muslim country, then it is unlikely that this woman has long to live. Good luck lady, courage of covinction is seldom rewarded in the muslim world.
18. Iranian, we don't know what individual Iranians believe
AK   (03.06.06)
except what their officials and newspapers say. We can also see thousands marching in support of that deranged regime. It is really like the case of Nazi Germany -- not every German was a Nazi, but the entire country had to be fought. Same here -- unless Iranians abolish this regime and establish decent government, all Iranians will end up paying the price. It is not a propaganda, it is a reality.
19. #12 thanks - I have passed it on to many - brave

20. hmmm...
Ben ,   New York   (03.06.06)
"resulting from the comparison the Nazis made between Jews and mice" Nazis? What Nazis? I thought there was no holocaust?
21. UNORGANISED PARANOIA
Freddy Basurco ,   Tacna, Peru   (03.06.06)
Top power spheres in Iran seem to be drawing their advices from some mental institution.

#7 - history has shown that a many successful, educated people have also been wrong-headed, bigoted, venal, and prone to idiotic opinions. Academic credentials are neutral - they do not confer rectitude, morality or compassion. #13 - huh?
24. response to biased Iranian People hating article
Philadelphia, PA   (03.08.06)
So true when you say it is important to seperate fundamentalist govts from the people. How many years did Jews and the people of Iran live side by side?! We need to work together to fight radicalism and build peace! and that ed minister is a lunatic indeed!

I saw this video some time ago, and also wondered if she's still healthy. Well, I can tell you she is as my son saw her recently being interviewed on Al Jazeera. She didn't go down too well, and I think there were some "technical hitches".
