“Iranian immigrants land in Israel”

SNIPPET: “Jewish Agency’s covert mission to bring 40 Iranian Jews to build new lives in Israel ends successfully on Tuesday. Director of group donating thousands of dollars to the cause warns Iran’s Jews are in danger from Ahmadinejad’s regime: ‘Many think this too will pass, but our feeling is that this is very similar to the situation in the 1930’s’”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “40 new immigrants from Iran landed Tuesday evening in Israel in the framework of a special Jewish Agency operation. The group came via an unnamed third country and consists of 10 families and three additional people who made the journey alone.

The group will be sent to an absorption center in southern Israel. According to JAFI data, a record number of 200 Iranian Jews made Aliyah during 200, up 65 from the previous year.

Jewish Agency officials said the newcomers abandoned their property and possessions in Iran and left without announcing their intended final destination. Most, they said, have come from Tehran.”

“North Korean Christians celebrate Christmas covertly”
Allie Martin OneNewsNow.comDecember 24, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The minister-at-large says if North Korean Christians are caught celebrating Christmas, they could face imprisonment or death.

“You’re either executed or taken to labor camps for life [if authorities find out about the celebration],” he shares. “Today we estimate [there are] as many as a hundred-thousand Christians in those labor camps; some people call them ‘death camps’ in North Korea. So of course there won’t be much of a Christmas for those Christians this year.””
