Do you have a link?

Notable population centers include Tehran, Isfahan (1,200), and Shiraz. Historically, Jews maintained a presence in many more Iranian cities. Jews are protected in the Iranian constitution and allowed one seat in the Majlis. After Israel, it is home to the second-largest Jewish population in the Middle East.

Torn Between Native And Adoptive Lands, Israel's Iranian Jews Hope ...

Jul 26, 2015 - About 100000 Iranian Jews have made Israel their home, and small numbers continue to move to the country. And no one feels more torn about the enmity between the two countries than they do.

As far as I know the rhetoric about Iran wanting Israel destroyed was a purposefully mis interpreted speech by Ahmadinejad, what was said was he wanted to eliminate the Zionist government. They don't like the government of Israel. Big deal. If you believe that Iran wants to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth, why don't they do so?

No link. Have you not been paying attention all of your life? Seriously, if you do not understand this as Iran's goal then a link really is not going to help you.
You and SooPoo refuse to look at the facts or provide counter evidence. You are the one who hasn't been paying attention, and refuse to objectively consider the evidence.

How about siding with us in the war against Islamic terrorism?


What about Jewish terrorists

Appreciate you considering these, and not just disparaging me out of hand.

It doesn't make sense when people say Iran is determined to destroy Israel or anti Semitic, when there are Synagogues in Tehran. Iran doesn't like the Zionist Government, and has a stricter dress code than the US. Other than the scarves the women have to wear, much of their society reminds me of America in the 50's.

South Calif is on fire. This would be
a good time for them to prove
they can stand alone without the
Feds to bail them out, prove they
can become their own separate
country.

LOL! Like that will ever happen,
them not begging for Fed aid..

Better answer than I gave.


My patience is gone on the issue. I do not understand the defense of islam. Usually by the same people who speak out against any other religion.
The President is a fink.

Atrocities on both sides
I have not forgotten this incident
Iran will never ever forget
