> The Iranian Jewish community will not mark Israel's 60th Independence Day...
This speaks volumes about the "happy free life" of Jews in Iran, does not it? Especially when it's combined with the fact that the number of Jews in Iran today is 80% LOWER than it was prior to the Islamic Revolution...

Nah, they don't want the zionist Mossad bombing them to force them to move to israel - as happened to jews throughout the mideast.
THE JEWS OF IRAQ - TESTIMONY OF A FORMER ZIONIST
..In his book, Ben Gurion's Scandals, Mr. Giladi discusses the crimes committed by Zionists in their frenzy to import raw Jewish labor. Newly-vacated farmlands had to be plowed to provide food for the immigrants and the military ranks had to be filled with conscripts to defend the illegitimately repossesed lands.
.. The Giladis, now U.S. citizens, live in New York City. By choice, they no longer hold Israeli citizenship. "I am Iraqi," he told The Link, "born in Iraq, my culture still Iraqi Arabic, my religion Jewish, my citizenship American." ...

Israel's Jewish Problem in Tehran
So why hasn't Iran started by wiping its own Jews off the map?
... Iranian Jews have little influence on decision-making and are not allowed to hold senior posts in the army or bureaucracy. But they enjoy many freedoms.

Iran is promoted today as an example of Islamic tolerance and democracy. One would wonder what would those who praise Iran for the 'freedoms' allowed to Iranian Jews say in case the number of Israeli Arabs (who are also allowed to travel anywhere, have way more than 30 Mosques and hundreds of Arab-owned businesses) DROPPED BY 80% during the last 25 years as the number of Iranian Jews did. Any guesses?

Ah, but 80% of christians and moslems in palestine were ethnic cleansed by zionist racists! The major difference between the two situations is that jews account for only 35% of palestinians. i.e. a racist zionist minority is persecuting the majority population of christians and moslems.
