well the title of the second artice is : "ANTI-SEMITISM AND IRAN"
anyway ...it does reminds alot of older anti-semitism that includes tons of books and articles blaming jews for killing children and use their blood for their religious rituals. its the same motive, in a modern way.
and i am not saying that iranians are stupid to realize its fiction, but when you recieve enough amount of this kind of messeges it does make you think and start believing. watch the clips, there are some parts that aren't less than disgusting, and that do nothing rather than fill you with hatred.
look ... you can say its anti-israeli if it critices israeli actions or describe the difficult life of a palestinian etc. ....
but when you show israeli doctor that holds a syringe near a little girls eyes, ready for taking her eyes out... well its not realy agains israeli policy... rather agains israeli people (most of which seen as religious jews wearing skullcaps).
i'll qoute something said in one of the clips by an israeli: "We are the best of the races in the world". |
There are thousands of stories that follow similar lines ("Boys From Brazil" which you may be familiar with comes to mind) and obviously the Israelis have been singled out because they are not liked in Iran (and the rest of the Muslim world probably), but you have to ask whetehr this is due to Israeli policies or down to a hatred of Jews and I have seen no evidence to suggest the latter. It seems to be a trait of Israelis(/Jews) to believe Muslims have some kind of genetic hatred for the Jews, but if you look thru history, its not the case. The whole Muslim-Jew conflict came about in the run up to the independence of Israel. Muslims actually used to protect Jews during the Crusades, and the unfortunate ones that weren't were burned alive by the Christians - which is strange due to radical American Christians going to great lengths to show that Xtians and Jews are somehow "friends" (which I would argue is more to do with Cold War habits rather than religious beliefs)
Well, that was a lot of bullshit on my behalf, but at the end of the day, altho I am sure the aim is to give Israelis a bad name, the actual story does sound pretty good, and very similar to many many Hollywood films that nobody in their right minds would say were offensive, its just that in this particular story it is made by Muslims and portrays the Israelis, so it must be anti-semitic (from now on I think we should use "racist" instead of anti-semitic as one, anti-semitism is a pretty hollow term nowadays, and two, it can sometimes be used to justify other kinds of racism while at the same time criticisng racism towards Jews)
