Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, a special on Iranian Channel 1 was broadcast on Friday.
Show host Pejman Karimi said that the Queen’s death was “good news” for the world’s oppressed people, and Iranian academic Foad Izadi of Tehran University’s Global Studies Department said that the Queen was “one of the greatest criminals in the history of mankind.”
Karimi proclaimed that “the Queen of England is dead, and this is considered good news for the world’s oppressed people. After 70 years on the throne, this Queen has left a grade sheet full of crime, abomination and filth.”
Then Izadi stated: “Perhaps, in light of her 70 years on the throne, she should be included in the same list with Hitler.”
That will be agreed to by Dems here.
Coming from Iran, one of the world's centers for Holocaust denial and Hitler fans, is this a compliment or a criticism?
I thought Iranians think Hitler was a great guy because he hated Jews.
Persia renamed itself “Iran” in 1935, Iran is the Farsi word for “Aryan”, and the then-Shah did it out of admiration for Hitler.
Pejman should run for office in Pennsylvania.
I’m not sure why - she never did anything against the left.
“the Queen of England is dead, and this is considered good news for the world’s oppressed people. After 70 years on the throne, this Queen has left a grade sheet full of crime, abomination and filth.”
Well corruption starts at the top.
I don’t remember a single time the former queen made a stand against evil.
But I have a bad memory. So can anyone find me something in the last 50 years?
Iran’s sense of self-importance is one of the most overstated in the world. My days of supporting foreign wars are over, but mannnn do I wish they got whacked in the mess that was GWOT.
Sorry but I really haven't kept up with any news of queens since Liberace died.
Sounds like NPR or maybe PBS. Are they sure it was Iranian?
Forget it Jake, it’s Iranian TV.
Newsweek: Her death also resulted in people posting what could be considered inappropriate, controversial, and even distasteful messages, memes, and videos on social media. Some of these messages went viral while simultaneously being condemned by other users of the platforms.

Washington Post:
Queen Elizabeth II’s death at age 96 sparked a global outpouring of grief and kind words for a woman who was beloved by many.
But for many Black Americans, especially those with roots in countries that were recently ruled by the British monarchy, the feelings were complicated and nuanced.

Pffft! That’s all he’s got?
My only LOL of the day.
There’s quite a crowd between Elizabeth II and Hitler, including all the cretins who have ruled Iran, so they should maybe change the subject.
Already had some freepers who agree with the ayatollah.
My humble thanks.
Well, she joined the army in WW II. What have you done?
My thoughts exactly.
