LOL.. If Iran was so bad, why 'aren't the jews leaving Iran? Why are they staying? We all knows jews are penny pincers, so why not take the cash
offer and bone out?

The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Saturday July 28 2007
In the article below we reported that last year President Ahmadinejad said (quoting the late Ayatollah Khomeini) that Israel should be "wiped off the
map". A more literal translation of the statement he made in 2005, at The World without Zionism conference in Tehran, is "the regime occupying
Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time".
Iran's Jews have given the country a loyalty pledge in the face of cash offers aimed at encouraging them to move to Israel, the arch-enemy of its
Islamic rulers.
The incentives — ranging from £5,000 a person to £30,000 for families — were offered from a special fund established by wealthy expatriate Jews
in an effort to prompt a mass migration to Israel from among Iran's 25,000-strong Jewish community. The offers were made with Israel's official
blessing and were additional to the usual state packages it provides to Jews emigrating from the diaspora.
