The very fact that many so called 'moderate' jews here on this very same forum do not condone these illegal settlment tells us something about the zionist movement. Need we be reminded what the nazis ideology did...

It is not a matter of what I think. It's a matter of negligence and inconsistency in the Israeli policies. What they want and how they are going to achieve it. Singling me out Doesn't prove a point anything as some people need to be reminded here...,

There is nothing "pro-western' about Israel.And a lot of "western" countries are forced to tacitly support Israel's right because of the level of the lobby combined with media bias outlets such as Fox News. Average American hasn't git a clue about palestinians let alone the sufferings they endure at the brutal hands of israeli governments policies. Back to your question about the legitimacy of the jewish state. I do not think the Bibi government has any appetite for reconciliation with palestinians or the neighbouring arabs or moslem world. So long as they have the opportunistic approach of stealing more of the palestinian lands, blaming arabs and belittling their culture and religion for their own motivation it is very unlikely for israel to have peace with their neighbours..

There is a difference between living peacefully with their semite cousins and being opportunistic in grabbing lands from their semite cousin. Thought that distinction is clear to some.

Netanyahu's respect ends in the garbage book history book as next to mein fuehrer a criminal.

If putting the interest ahead of Canada in your books then so be it. The name suits just fine.

No harm for me then to call you something else.

Any source you can cite that Britain has "expelled" jews recently JBG?

This nationalistic movement is as dangerous as nazis were.

I am not a conspiracy theorist nor a cheerleader but it fascinates me that you go out of your depth to search for news even on outlets like pressTV that you find not credible because it belongs to eyeranian arabs to prove a point. lol My point of contention is the hypocrisy of the west to ally with saudis whilst the majority of 9/11 culprits were of saudi and egyptian origin including Osama Bin Laden. Oh yes that was the fault of evil eyeranians

Yes yes. roger that. Apparently everyone is a nut job except your beloved Bibi... Oooooh PressTV...It belongs to those infidel eyeranian arabs lol.

Yep, apparently mufti is the one that made my bedroom colour black today and so I decided to piss in a pot.... Who gives a flying dime what you think on one should do or behave not to be labelled antisemite!?

Better be an apologist than an israeli firster and brown noser.....

I wouldn't give Bibi any credit. Don't flatter yourself...But of course as one of his cheerleaders you would blow his trumpet. No surprise there. Bibi is one of the most incompetent, useless leaders of our time.

Grand Mufti much resemles current Grand Bibi today. So what?

How many germans were nazis in 1940's??? It is the sick, twisted and nationalistic ideology of zionism that resemles nazis...

One canadian/ iranian journalist...not many as you like to sensationalise... Your pals in Israel does that to palestinians everyday!!

Be honest porchy... You devotuion and blind support for the murderous regime of israeli government gies way beyond anything else including putting it above Canada.... You just don't want to admit it.

Exactly, the hypocrisy here stinks!

I thought you didn't care about Israel!? Is mention of netanyahu sensitive to your ears? Your excitement to support them though unconditionally says otherwise. Another israeli firsters over Canada...

Nonesense! Shah and Farah fled the country many times during his reign....

Absolutely right!"At the start of the confrontation, American political sympathy was forthcoming from the Truman Administration.[19] In particular, Mosaddegh was buoyed by the advice and counsel he was receiving from American Ambassador in Tehran, Henry F. Grady. However, eventually American decision-makers lost their patience, and by the time a Republican Administration came to office fears that communists were poised to overthrow the government became an all-consuming concern (these concerns were later dismissed as "paranoid" in retrospective commentary on the coup from US government officials). Shortly prior to the 1952 presidential election in the United States, the British government invited CIA officer Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., to London to propose collaboration on a secret plan to force Mosaddegh from office.[20] This would be the first of three "regime change" operations led by Allen Dulles (the other two being the successful CIA-instigated 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état and the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba). Under the direction of Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., a senior Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer and grandson of former US President Theodore Roosevelt, the American CIA and British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) funded and led a covert operation to depose Mosaddegh with the help of military forces disloyal to the democratically elected government. Referred to as Operation Ajax,[21] the plot hinged on orders signed by Mohammad Reza to dismiss Mosaddegh as prime minister and replace him with General Fazlollah Zahedi a choice agreed on by the British and Americans"

Well done doggy! Why don't you go and throw yourself a party? Good boy.Your homework for today is to study history of white revolution or bloodless revolution in Iran (preferably unbiased) if possible...

You have missed the point...Furthermore wrongly accused me of siding with mullahs in Iran which is utter nonesense not that it matters...Answer the question where in my post above I mentioned clergies????

Reading comprehension DOP....?Read my post again and show me where I stated clergies? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Revolution The White Revolution(Persian: انقلاب سفید‎‎ Enghelāb-e Sefid) was a far-reaching series of reforms in Iran launched in 1963 by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and lasted until 1978. Mohammad Reza Shahs reform program was built especially to weaken those classes that supported the traditional system. It consisted of several elements including 1- the land reform 2- sales of some state-owned factories to finance the land reform 3- the enfranchisement of women 4- nationalization of forests and pastures 5- formation of a literacy corps and 6- institution of profit sharing schemes for workers in industry.[1] The Shah advertised the White Revolution as a step towards westernization, but there is little doubt that he also had political motives; the White Revolution (a name attributed to the fact it was bloodless[2]) was a way for him to legitimize the Pahlavi dynasty. Part of the reason for launching the White Revolution was that the Shah hoped to get rid of the landlords' influence and create a new base of support among the peasants and working class.[3][4] The bulk of the program was aimed at Irans peasantry, a class the Shah hoped to gain as an ally to thwart the threat of the increasingly hostile middle class.[5] Thus the White Revolution in Iran represented a new attempt to introduce reform from above and preserve traditional power patterns. Through land reform, the essence of the White Revolution, the Shah hoped to ally himself with the peasantry in the countryside, and hoped to sever their ties with the aristocracy in the city These were the tennets of his reform.... Land Reforms Program and Abolishing "Feudalism": The government bought the land from the feudal land lords at what was considered to be a fair price and sold it to the peasants at 30% below the market value, with the loan being payable over 25 years at very low interest rates. This made it possible for 1.5 million peasant families, who had once been little more than slaves, to own the lands that they had been cultivating all their lives. Given that the average size of a peasant family was 5, the land reforms program brought freedom to approximately 9 million people, or 40% of Iran's population. Nationalization of Forests and Pasturelands: Many measures were introduced, not only to protect the national resources and stop the destruction of forests and pasturelands, but also to further develop and cultivate them. More than 9 million trees were planted in 26 regions, creating 70,000 acres (280 km²) of "green belts" around cities and on the borders of the major highways. Privatization of the Government Owned Enterprises, selling shares in manufacturing plants and factories to the public and the old feudal lords, thus creating a whole new class of factory owners who could now help to industrialize the country. Profit Sharing for industrial workers in private sector enterprises, giving the factory workers and employees 20% share of the net profits of the places where they worked and securing bonuses based on higher productivity or reductions in costs. Extending the Right to Vote to Women, who previously did . This measure was criticized by some of the clergy. Formation of the Literacy Corps, so that those who had a high school diploma and were required to serve their country as soldiers could do so by fighting illiteracy in the villages. In 1963 approximately 2/3 of the population was illiterate, with 1/3 found mainly in the capital city of Tehran. Formation of the Health Corps to extend public health care throughout the villages and rural regions of Iran. In 3 years, almost 4,500 medical groups were trained; nearly 10 million cases were treated by the Corps. Formation of the Reconstruction and Development Corps to teach the villagers the modern methods and techniques of farming and keeping livestock. Agricultural production between 1964 and 1970 increased by 80% in tonnage and 67% in value. Formation of the Houses of Equity where 5 village elders would be elected by the villagers, for a period of 3 years, to act as arbitrators in order to help settle minor offences and disputes. By 1977 there were 10,358 Houses of Equity serving over 10 million people living in over 19,000 villages across the country. Nationalization of all Water Resources, introduction of projects and policies in order to conserve and benefit from Iran's limited water resources. Many dams were constructed and five more were under construction in 1978. It was as a result of these measures that the area of land under irrigation increased from 2 million acres (8,000 km²), in 1968, to 5.6 million in 1977. Urban and Rural Modernization and Reconstruction with the help of the Reconstruction and Development Corps. Building of public baths, schools and libraries; installing water pumps and power generators for running water and electricity. Didactic Reforms that improved the quality of education by diversifying the curriculum in order to adapt to the necessities of life in the modern world. Workers' Right to Own Shares in the Industrial Complexes where they worked by turning industrial units, with 5 years history and over, into public companies, where up to 99% of the shares in the state-owned enterprises and 49% of the shares of the private companies would be offered for sale to the workers of the establishment at first and then to the general public. Price Stabilization and campaign against unreasonable profiteering (1975). Owners of factories and large chain stores were heavily fined, with some being imprisoned and other's licenses being revoked. Sanctions were imposed on multi-national foreign companies and tons of merchandise stored for speculative purposes were confiscated and sold to consumers at fixed prices. Free and Compulsory Education and a daily free meal for all children from kindergarten to 14 years of age. In 1978, 25% of Iranians were enrolled in public schools alone. In that same year there were 185,000 students of both sexes studying in Iran's universities. In addition to the above there were over 100,000 students pursuing their studies abroad, of which 50,000 were enrolled in colleges and universities in the United States. Free Food for Needy Mothers and for all newborn babies up to the age of two. Introduction of Social Security and National Insurance for all Iranians. The National Insurance system provided for up to 100% of the wages during retirement. Stable and Reasonable Cost of Renting or Buying of Residential Properties (1977). Controls were placed on land prices and various forms of land speculation. Introduction of Measures to Fight against Corruption within the bureaucracy. The Imperial Inspection Commission was founded, consisting of representatives from administrative bodies and people of proven integrity.
