to stuff like what? your confusing 7 million Jews living in Israel being in harms way with 20,000 Jews living Iran that obviously aren't. hell, even the article recognizes that.

Stuff you don't understand.

EDIT: This wasn't meant to be a confrontational statement, so don't take it the wrong way.

Originally posted by jonSun Im friends with an Iranian Jew. He was the person who enlightened me on Iran having the most jews in the middle east (other than Israel). He also told me much of his family would prolly never leave. I guess they arent under any real threat over there as our media likes to make us think.

if you want to consider Islam as the prerequisite (as it relates to the article) to the two non-Arab countries being Middle East, Turkey has more.

again, your making the same mistake as ShaolinZ. the media doesn't even report about Iranian Jews being in harms way, doesn't even report the inequality at least. they're practically unheard of only when Iran wants them to be heard.

i love how liberals/young people always give the only theocratic, fundamentalist and suppressive country in the world a pass on everything only to blame everyone else. sickening.
