1. Iranian Jews are hostages of the Shia terror regime
CJK   (10.13.13)
just like the inmates of the concentration camp of teresienstadt were used for crude propaganda purposes, so the jews of iran are used for crude propaganda purposes. no one in iran has the freedom of speech to express himself freely and honestly. all the jews in iran are hostages of the regime.
2. the nazis of the usa
daniel ,   u$a   (10.14.13)
usa has surpassed the nazis in evil,the only difference is that they are smarter at how they do it,the period essentially encapsulated two things:-a populace of people clamoring for government to take care of them and two the governing elite who want above all else power and control over the people,their solution are almost the same:military might and an enemy created by a false flag event,the patriot act into law,suspending most civil liberties,the fairness doctrine is regularly used by the government to threaten media that oppose current policies,operates concentration camps and this is not to mention the millions of people held in cages who did nothing to no one,the u.s are many times more criminal than every other country on earth but they are so good at propaganda that they make it sound like they are trying to help them,the u.s kills millions of people every decade,most people who gravitate to government do so because they have a lust for power,they desire to control the lives of others as many as possible,millions,billions,everyone and when they are not imprisoning or controlling,they are stealing their money and using it to kill millions of others worldwide,they have to settle for enslaving to debt,taking most of earned income and putting them in cages,they are forced to save their blood-lust for foreigners

MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.14.13)

5. Roundup does NOT "govern."
Stephen in New York ,   NY,NY   (10.14.13)
Political power is in the hands of the Supreme Leader, Ayotollah Khameni. Not Rouhani who is simply a figurehead. It is Khameni whose hand is on the nuclear trigger.
6. So funny, reminds me of that old salesman pitch: "What am I
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.14.13)
doing, selling for this price?! I must be going mad, such a metzyie!" Oy vey: and the stupid Bibi doesn't buy it? Doesn't he realize this is "unrepeatable"??! LOL
7. #1. Thousands of Iranian Jews have left Iran for...
Persian CAT   (10.14.13)
Israel with nobody trying to keep them as "hostages". Then they realized their big mistake, so they left the Apartheid state for the US. The Zionist regime has been offering the remaining Iranian Jews money to leave. How come they have decided to stay. Who's stopping them? When are you going to pull your head out of your derriere and see the reality?!
8. To Danny Boy
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (10.14.13)
Danny, you left out one important fact, you forgot to thank your lucky stars that you live in the United States of America, where you have the freedom to vent your sick views. As long as your rantings are they are short on fact, and truth.
9. LOL! Those Jews
Mira ,   Vienna   (10.14.13)
certainly do that all or their own free will and conviction!
10. Yeah, right
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.14.13)
If someone holds a gun to the heads of your children, you'll say anything. That's pretty much the case here. The Jews remaining in Iran CANNOT leave. They are denied passports. Yet no one seems to care about their plight; certainly not the Moslem "president" of the United States of America.
11. 7 kitty, no one believes your propaganda
CJK   (10.14.13)
iranian jews who left did so shortly after the shah was overthrown while they still could. today, iranian jews are not allowed to leave iran. iran is a totalitarian theocracy where freedom of movement is restricted.
12. #7 Iranian Jews are trapped. They can't take their money
Laila ,   Montreal, Canada   (10.14.13)
#7 Iranian Jews are trapped. They can't take their money out of the country.
13. #7 Read Laila's post #12
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.14.13)
It wasn't Israel that offered money for Iranian Jews to leave. Few accepted the offer. But it's difficult to leave Iran especially with a family and language difference. Iran was their home. In spite of the obstacles, over 80,000 left. Israel and the US have the largest population of Iranian Jews outside Iran. But Iranian Jews weren't the only ones who left. The Islamic Revolution caused a mass exodus from Iran of Muslims seeking freedom in the west. I assume your family was among them.
14. There can never be any Reconsilation -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.14.13)
- between Shia-Islam and the US. Their Respctive legacys is contradictory !. Arn.Sweden.
15. #10 and Moslem president of the USA
RHarris ,   London, UK   (10.16.13)
Actually, I think that anyone who keeps repeating the pathetic canard invented by that bunch of loud-mouthed losers, the Tea Party, about the president of the USA being a Moslem, is truly in need of far-reaching psychological help. Actually, you put the term president in inverted commas, as if to imply that he was not elected, or is not president - yet another sign of a rather loose grasp of reality. The whole tenor of your note "Yeah, right! if someone holds a gun to the heads of your children..." actually makes you sound like a pathetic doppelganger for that chief of buffoons, Sarah Palin. Or perhaps you were talking figuratively - since obviously no one is holding an actual gun to the heads of the children of the leaders of Iran's Jewish community. Dear me - you getting lost in that fuzzy world between the literal and the figurative? Can't make an analogy without bringing a gun reference into it? Final question - if the President himself says he is not Moslem, if he has never identified himself as a Moslem, if he doesn't go to the mosque and pray, but instead preaches in churches, isn't it a waste of your breathe to keep on calling him a Moslem? On the other hand, I don't care if you waste your breathe, as there is only a finite amount allotted to you, and once you have used it all up, then whupee, as Sarah might say.
