Less than 9000 are still in Iran. Israel would like these 9000 to leave Iran as they are being used for PR. If Israel fell there is no doubt that these Jews would lose their PR usage as pawns and be gotten rid of one way or another. As to your poll it has nothing to do with this thread, but on the other hand why don't you post it.

My point wasn't about #s just that many of them still do live in Iran..2nd largest population of Jews in the Mid East after IsraHell. Not to say Iran's history was all love to the Jews, but it wasn't love to the real Persians either, as they're almost all brainwashed by the Arab's religion, so they both got screwed.

As to PR usage, ha ok:


As usual it's Israel doing the PR pandering.

Can't recall where I saw the poll, it was more than 1..not sure what sort of Jews they were, just that some were typical greedy squatters and wanted "safer" places, and some actually wanted to leave for the US or Europe.

It wasn't a poll. They are the Russians mostly. The articles:

Israelis Rush for Second Passports » Counterpunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names


Jews sans frontieres: The Jews want to leave Israel, apparently

Nobody is suggesting that. The article is just pointing out that Israel has continued to give humanitarian aid to the Gazan people despite the continued attacks from Gaza on Israeli civilians/residents.

BTW, Hamas was elected by the people of Gaza to govern them.

Also at the same time that Gaza was committed war crimes against Israeli citizens, Israel continued to provide humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.

Israel Targeted Gaza Civilians
This is very unusual, because typically it is always Israel who gets blamed for everything even when everyone knows they are just trying to defend themselves.

...from the people whose land they STOLE.

Israelis are NOT the victims here. They sure do like to remind the world how the Germans killed almost every one of them in WWII and suck out every little cent from them they can get though. Wonder if they'll offer the Palestinians reparations.

So WTF is to blame for basically genociding the Palestinians and stealing their land? And G-d forbid they have the audacity to fight back.

Typical of Americans, no wonder they sympathize with IsraHell...genocide and oppress a people and then show your magnanimity by providing humanitarian aid.

Defending against those people who are trying to kill Israeli civilians by firing hundreds of missiles into Israel.

You are basically saying Israel is the bad guy for shooting back? Palestianians are the terrorists here, and I say this simply because they are the ones committing terrorist acts.
