And there are plenty of jews in Iran. Synagogues as well. Shias have a responsibility to fight oppression and injustice wherever it is found. In the 70's and 80's, while the west supported Apartheid in South Africa, Iran was one of the only nations to support the ANC in their fight for justice. If anyone cares to hear the entire speech, here it is, translated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fhi3pjTC7k This is going to sound bad, I think ... I apologize in advance... but there's some bigger realities to deal with than who's more biased in terms of news sourcing.... I saw the speech on CNN and if the translation was right, Rasputin said during his speech that Israel was a cancer and it should be cut out and the state should be eliminated. I have both American Jew and Israeli friends (along with Jordanian and Egyptian friends). All my friends tell me Iran basically needs to rise up against these MAD MEN and take back the country and get it under a modernist modrate government NOW. Not after they develop a fission device. Face it dude, They don't get the bomb. That's the way it goes. they can want it all they want... but in the end, nuclear technology will be decided by a bunker buster. This is difficult for me to say, because I prefer to believe that the young people in Iran can rise up and kick these fuckers out and join the world again. But the clock is ticking and they have moths ... maybe even just weeks to act. It's clear what the hard guys in the game plan to do. I wish the younger generation all the best in overthrowing a very sick and suicidal regime.
