True liberals would call out Iran for what it is. But don't worry, they'll suddenly throw off their cowardliness when it comes time to bash the US government for far less.


Iran's government systematically threatens, exiles, and even kills LGBTQ+ members.

Oh, but they treat religious minorities so well...except that they really don't.

Nice using the dailywire and NR to push your propaganda. The truth is that unlike you I’ve been to Iran and the US media has a tendency to take reports out of context to make Iran seem like a persecuted society where people walk in fear.

I go to Iran and am returning this summer, the people there celebrate Christmas, there are churches and synagogues and people talk openly and celebrate their culture.

Pathetic liars like yourself know nothing about Iran, if you had the balls to go there you’d learn a lot more than the BS you’re fed here.

Manouchehr Behravan -- Minister of Housing under the past Military government of Gholam-Reza Azhari https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...lfjyK_himVr8ec

Homayoun Sameyeh - Head of Tehran Jews Association IRNA - Head of Tehran Jewish Association: We love Iran





Also, it seems at least one Jewish journalist claims BS on this article as well. NPR Sanitizes Iran's Anti-Semitism: They're Good To The Jews

As pointed out in it:

* Nowhere in the OP's link does it mention that under the Shah, there were 100,000 Jews in Iran. Why only 14,000 now?

* Yes, Jews are free to leave Iran; however, they forfeit everything they own in doing so. That most likely explains the few Jews who have stayed. They own businesses.

Shame on PBS for propagating Iranian state propaganda.

Nice job proving my point, Jews are elected to office in Iran, something you say never happens.

Oh. If you approve of Iran for having 1 Jew on the Parliament, then you must really love Israel with its 17 Muslim Parliament seats.
