Most in IRAN are suprisingly (or maybe not) after 25+ Years under taliban-stle rule (against their own government: what surprises me is that 70% are NOT for the Destruction of Israel!

What if the Basij and Ansar-i Hezbollah in Iran had to fear for their lives and safety any time they attempted to brutally disperse a pro-freedom demonstration in the streets of Tehran thanks to hundreds of thousands of air-dropped KelTec P-32s? Do you think we’d still need to engage in mental masturbation about glassy craters in Iran of the kind we witnessed at the debate on Wednesday night?

I think I can explain that: The Iranians have a strong sense of nationalism and ethnic pride that balances out and mitigates some of the Islamist influence. Cyrus, one of their great historical figures, freed the Jews and allowed them to return to Israel, and ordered the Tempe of Jerusalem rebuilt. So the Jews and Persians have a common hero in Cyrus.

Iranians aren’t Arab, and they don’t have this hatred of the Jews that the Arabs do, except for the imported hatred that comes automatically via Islam. Still, not the same as the hate-through-the-blood that the Arabs have against the Jews.
