to many things going on over there right now for nothing really big getting ready to happen
if they mess with Israel it's gonna be one heck of a mess and probably go world wide IMO

I commend Iran for supporting the cause of the Palestinian people.

Yet, the people will continue to see Iran as anti-semitic, despite the fact that the regime treats the countrys 25,000 strong jewish population with the dignity the Palestinians can only dream of.

The rest of the world will continue to ignore the crimes perpetrated by the zionist regime... ignore the injustice in making a country for a jewish population that have never lived in that land at the cost of the Arabs who have been living there for several generations.

Now please help me...

What exactly is the problem with the Iranian people using their democratic right to peacefully protest against an oppressive regime? It doesn't matter who calls for those protests. It should be us in the so called western, civilized world, who should protest for the Palestinians and peace in the middle east, as it is our leaders starting wars everywhere, not the Iranians.

Why are we not in the streets demonstrating against the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya. We all know they are wrong.

I tell you why, because we are fat, lazy ***** that think everything won't come as bad as it appears to be.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Just that it goes again the "correct" opinions projected by the western MSM.
That Israel = good guys, Iran = bad guys etc.

So they are allowed to protest against the Iranian regime? It appears some were killed by that regime whilst protesting...

Which is not right as well, but the problem is that the US / CIA // Israel / Mossad got their dirty fingers in every country especially in the middle east supporting anti government groups to topple regimes, that are not playing the roles they should in their eyes. So I think it is understandable that Iran (over)reacts very nervous.
