Probably tells this to John Kerry every day.
Zarif wears a suit, wonder if he'll get invited to the White House to sign his non treaty treaty.
My response to the Foreign Minister would be, when the Persians convert back to Zoroastrianism, then they can be trusted again.
I believe that Mohammad Javad Zarif has room in his moniker for one more “name” and should therfore henceforth refer to himself as Mohammad Javad Taqiyya Zarif!
but why lie about something so obvious??
“but why lie about something so obvious??”
Iranian leaders/terrorists are amazingly obtuse. This will help us when we finally take them out : )
Obama’s new talking points.
They not only appear deranged and evil..they also appear to be utterly OTHER WORLDLY to put it politely.
i’d love to be a fly on the wall at Mossad headquarters for a few days
Cyrus did defeat Nebuchadnezzar, but the Cyrus had his own agenda with Nebuchadnezzar. It certainly didn't involve Jews. The Jews went back to Judea. The Jews didn't follow Cyrus back to Persia.
Anyways, Muslims are the problem and in this case, Muslims in Iran. Muslims have persecuted Jews from day one. Zarif needs to fast forward in his history a little bit.
That was before 1979 when the Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran! It could be said of the past, but it’s certainly NOT true now!
Oh man, that is a keeper!!
THAT would be interesting.
That’s exactly what got the Shah in trouble. The mullahs demonized him for trying to reconvert Iran back to pagan Zoroastrianism.
Of course, all he was really doing was glorifying Pre-Islamic Iran.
I do hope for a Zoroastrian revival...
WONDERFUL cartoon!!
Thank you!
I think the last time Iran was at all “safe” for Jews was when they had a Zoroastrian emperor. (Its been a while)
Yes, more accurately nearly three millennia ago. The WWII analogy is inaccurate. There were/was at least one Iranian diplomat who aided French Jews. And in a sense Iran was a refuge post 1941 if anyone could get there. But that’s because the Nazi supporting Shah, forgot his name, was replaced when the Brits occupied the country in mid late 1941.
Well, they have a better record than Europe...
Good thing we had a president far-sighted enough to throw the Shah under the bus.
You’re right, Cyrus was simply OK with being rid of them, at least the ones who wanted to leave. Needless to say Zarif didn’t mean to imply there were Jews in Israel 2700 or 2800 years ago, or that Persia not only recognized Israel as the Jewish home, but encouraged them to return there. No one at the press conference was smart enough to ask.
Good catch.
