I can only speak for the Iranians I know who are young (well in their 30s and 40s), some were children when the Revolution happened and grew up with the terror of the new regime then the Iran-Iraq (Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis strikes a chord with them... It was their life). They've had plenty enough to hate without bothering with Israel. Don't expect bosom buddies but they are not Israel's enemies.<br /><br />Believe it or not there's actually a reason for a lot of young Iranians to see the Palestinians as their enemy and not Israel<br /><br />the 2009 protests were put down by the Basij militia (the best comparison I can think is that they are like the Totenkpofverbande to to the Revolutionary Guard's SS - sorry to use an offensive comparison here) .A lot of young Iranians firmly believe that there were Palestinians among the Baseej beating down and murdering protestors alongside homegrown thugs.<br /><br />This could be just a rumour of course but it is not beyond the realms of possibility as the Baseej do have links with Hamas and an Iranian can certainly tell the difference between one of the Iranian Arab minority groups and a Palestinian.<br /><br />Ach I am rambling but there is hope for the future of Iran, albeit a faint one at presentjams o donnellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-10451664221299487362011-12-04T21:44:18.597+02:002011-12-04T21:44:18.597+02:00I am not too happy about the idea as well.

They certainly have a lot more to hate at home without bothering with overseas enemies! but then they are not the ones with the guns...jams o donnellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-40939132259428477732011-12-04T21:17:17.423+02:002011-12-04T21:17:17.423+02:00A mere technicality.A mere technicality.SnoopyTheGoonhttp://simplyjews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-20414785145506607962011-12-04T20:17:45.459+02:002011-12-04T20:17:45.459+02:00Hey Snoopy I was told that the Pope is catholic......Hey Snoopy I was told that the Pope is catholic...peterthehungariannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-54387064166109436792011-12-04T16:49:00.344+02:002011-12-04T16:49:00.344+02:00As you know, I also favor that "If you are go...As you know, I also favor that "If you are going to shoot, shoot, don't talk".
