    This is an article from 2007, but it illustrates the long history Jews have had in Iran and that they continue to live there willfully of their own volition.

    The article also debunks the claim still made by Sean Hannity and the war mongering Republican candidates that Ahmadinejad wants to wipe out Israel with a nuke.

    This articile isnt the holy grail, and it doesnt answer all of the world's problems, but it is a mainline news source that brings to light an issue that you are likely never to hear talked about much by our news media. There are Jews in Iran, and for the most part they live there by choice. Oh, and that Michelle Bachman is a war mongering liar.

    Contrary to your assertion, I didn't see anything at all in the article that debunks the common belief that Ahmadinejad wants to destroy Israel...

    Burnt Orange,

    You missed the correction at the top of the article that rectified the poor(intentional) translation that you so well bolded in your response. The correction is the key. The article acknowledges that they got it wrong.

    Its the same mistranslation that the hawks have been trumpeting for years, and its a crock. Its just not true.

    Does Ahmadinejad deny the Holocaust? It does seem that way, but that doesnt mean that he wants to nuke Israel.

    The point is that pre-emptive strikes and wars dont make sense. Israel has hundreds of nukes, many pointing at Iran, no doubt. It makes no sense at all for Iran to try and attack Israel.

    Its sabre rattling by Bachman and the war hawks here, and I hope that the American people are getting tired of it.
