@Metal-Brain saidWell $$hit happens. At least they controlled the Arabs.
The Stern Gang admitted they carried out terrorist acts against the British (the very people that once encouraged Jewish migration to Palestine) because they limited Jewish migration.
The Stern Gang also tried to ally themselves with fascist Italy and Nazi Germany.
@Rajk999 saidBS! You are making up BS as you go along.
The Shah was a progressive and pro west, and did not abuse the citizens
The Ayatollah is brain-dead Islamic extremist, who has committed loads of human rights violations.
Look up the Savak and how they tortured people.

@Metal-Brain saidApparently the extremist element of Islam did not approve of the Shah's rise to power because he was pro-west. They were of the Shariah ilk and wanted an extremist state in Iran, which is what oppresses people.

I guess it was a good thing these extremists were kept down.
@Metal-Brain saidThen why are so many Jews living in Iran with content?
Then why are so many Jews living in Iran with content?
And why did Iran and Israel have such good relations while the Shah was in power?
=== Hardly content, as they're subject to various more subtle forms of discrimination. But if your point is that the Iranian regime generally tolerates its Jews, so long as they stay quiet and toe the Iranian line, I'll concede that.
And why did Iran and Israel have such good relations while the Shah was in power?
=== Because the Shah wasn't an Islamist nutjob.
@Metal-Brain saidSo they're trying to enrich uranium to weapons grade to stop the sanctions that they're subjected to due to trying to enrich uranium to weapons grade.
They are enriching Uranium beyond that needed for a nuclear energy program for leverage. Leverage to get sanctions relief so their people can get medicine to save their lives. Believe it or not sanctions kill people.
Iran did that in a vain attempt to save lives. Why sanctions against Cuba? Is the USA afraid of a communist takeover of the USA? LOL!
Lehi tried to ally with Nazi Germany. Know your history.
Got it.
@sh76 saidReally, then why don't they move if they don't like the discrimination?

The Shah was a puppet of the USA just like Israel is. That is why relations were so good and why would so many Israelis tour Iran back then if there was discrimination?
The Shah used the SAVAK to torture people. Look it up. He was a brutal dictator. You are the nutjob!
@Rajk999 saidNo, it was because he was torturing his people.

@Metal-Brain saidCuba is communist. Communist regimes abuse their people.
You are such a liar!
Then why does the USA have sanctions strangling Cuba? They don't have a nuclear program you Fargin idiot!
@Metal-Brain saidThe Shah was pro-west, and an ally of the US and Europe, so he was stopping Islamic extremists from causing trouble. Im all for stopping Islam ... so you can take a hike with your nonsense.
No, it was because he was torturing his people.
Look up the SAVAK.
@Rajk999 saidOf course. The USA installed the Shah into power. Now they want his eldest son in power over there so he can torture people via the SAVAK too.

The Shah was a brutal dictator who was pro west. Kind of like Pinochet in Chile.
@Metal-Brain saidSocialist regimes abuse their citizens.
Cuba is NOT communist. It is socialist.
STOP LYING!
@Metal-Brain saidAny government that keeps the Islamic extremists under control, is a good one. Islam is an evil, sick, and deranged, and they only respond to brutal tactics otherwise they will overrun the country.
Of course. The USA installed the Shah into power. Now they want his eldest son in power over there so he can torture people via the SAVAK too.
