  • ( Horrors. I'm reminded of Dr. Ahmadinejad's comments in the horrific scripted 'interviews' on YouTube where the BBC purportedly exposed his 'unacceptable attitude', to whit : learning from history requires studying it. Nor has any persecution of European Jewry been reflected by having taught Israel anything about treatment of Semites such as Palestinian Samaritans. There was an interesting common thread in those videos both in preambles of his views by the 'interviewer' preceding his actual comments - and a vast chasm of difference in content. BTW There are many Jews in Iran who are content to stay there as  opposed to exercising a 'right of return'. Persian Jews or Iranian Jews are Jews historically associated with the Persian Empire, whose successor state is Iran. The biblical Book of Esther contains references to the experiences of the Jews in Persia. Jews have had a continuous presence in Iran since the time of Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid Empire. Wikipedia 

    Iran’s Jewish community is the largest in the Mideast outside Israel – and feels safe and respected

  • Kindly refer to Quotations by Ahmadinejad - hard to find on Search https://www.adl.org/news/article/iranian-president-mahmoud-ahmadinejad-in-his-own-words for examples of ongoing blatant misrepresentation - and fiction - about what has been said about a man whose UN speeches were lauded by the Assembly.....after Western delegates had safely abandoned their seats. )
