Editor: Myself (English)A weblog on Iran, technology and pop culture, by Hossein DerakhshanPolls: Stong majority of Iranians are against Israel- (Found June 24, 2008 ) From Terror Free Tomorrow's recent poll on Iran (Full report in PDF): 63 percent of Iranians oppose any peace treaty recognizing the State of Israel and favor all Muslims continuing to fight until there is no State of Israel in the Middle East. Only less than a quarter of Iranians favor a peace treaty recognizing the State of Israel, even if an independent Palestinian state is established. Likewise, more than 60 percent support the government of Iran providing military and financial assistance..http://hoder.com/weblog/archives/017350.shtml Satrapi's 'Persepolis': Good versus evil, again (The Guardian)- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Finally I sat down and wrote about 'Persepolis', Marjane Satrapi's anti-Iran's Spielberg-backed piece of propaganda. Here it is: Marjane Satrapi's 'Persepolis': Good versus evil, again (The Guardian) Persepolis is a black-and-white film which also adopts a very black-and-white view of Iran, Hossein Derakhshan writes. May 15, 2008 Marjane Satrapi's film, Persepolis must have made George Bush and his new ally, Nicolas Sarokzy, quite happy. After all, despite Satrapi's rhetoric against the two...http://hoder.com/weblog/archives/017360.shtml Where is John Pilger when New Statesman published NED-embeded anti-Iran propaganda of the Amnesty International- (Found June 24, 2008 ) I have to say I'm very disappointed that my favourite British weekly, the New Statesman, has started selling its credibility to the U.S. government's embedded 'activists' at the Amnesty International. Especially after seeing its first instalment which was about the NED-backed or at least NED's favourite labour activist in the whole world (Mansour Ossanlu or Osanlou or Osanloo) who, as you can guess, is from Iran. Interestingly, the author of the article, David Cockcroft, has never written for...http://hoder.com/weblog/archives/017422.shtml Ahmadinejad a neoconservative Nonsense.- (Found June 24, 2008 ) It's sickening how a bunch of Iranian reformists turned exiled-opposition are calling Ahmadinejad a neoconservative, to justify themselves and make their puppet masters at the State Deprtment and Hoover Institute happy. Ahmadinejad has courageously reversed 16 years of disastrous free-market economic policies of Rafsanjani and Khatami which were gradually destroying the entire dream of the Iranian nation who revolted against the tyrannical and dependent regime of the Shah and basically selling..http://hoder.com/weblog/archives/017465.shtml State Department funded Freedom House's new research on iranian textbooks by Saeed Paivandi- (Found June 24, 2008 ) The Freedom House last year commissioned a research, led by a Paris-based 'leftist' sociologist named Saeed Paivandi, on the Iranian school textbooks. I'm sure you don't even need to read the report to guess what the conclusions are: Iran is systematically teaching all its children and youth to basically be mysogonists, racists and Islamist militants. But what else The textbooks criticize the West (Europe, North America, and Russia) from four main angles: Europe and the United States are...http://hoder.com/weblog/archives/017174.shtml |
