Rafsanjani in Qom

2007-09-08T23:06:00.000+03:00

Rafsanjani is an interesting figure but for an Israeli like me food is much more important. watermelon is one of my favorite fruits of course. that's why ayatollh Noori Hamedani is my favorite (in a humoristic sence)

"take it back please, too much sugar".

i wonder why such an old man like that ayatollah don't have enough books to fill in it down there.

ayatollah Meshkini wasn't home. he's dead. so they brought his picture and his book instead. Rafsanjani is his successor at the Assembly of Experts, which is the body that will choose the next leader of Iran someday, very very good job, no.1 job after leader, so now Rafsanjani is like no.2 in Iran so all the important ayatollahs that live in Qom wants to be his friends and tell him what they think he should do with his power.

ayatollah Lotfalla Safi Golpayegani - lots of peaches and a tape recorder of course

"i'm the next leader" (u can feel it in the air of Qom)

ayatolla Makaram Shirazi - no food, just a list for the next time

The Face of Music in Iran

2007-04-29T19:28:00.000+03:00

Very nice to meet: this is Arash Yousefian, and i can't stop listening to his song Ghalb, although i'm usually very selective in music. if you like his tie d/l here.

These guys are doing persian hip-hop which is very popular in Iran, at least as far as i can see in persian music websites. the quality is not super but still, for me it's very refreshing to hear some persian words on the beats.

I also think the sign with the hand is very cool. check 'em out, they called: Sarkesh, Shayan Yoyo and Nami E. d/l here.

Last week i have read that some of the "undergroud" hip hop makers got arrested and some of their studios shut down. i guess this islamic regime is a pain in the ass but i know that music is superior to any religous rule, and if you wanna make music you will make it no matter what rules this islamic regime will have.

Babol University Protest

my fellow blogger kamangir wrote about the protest in Babol university in Iran:

"students in a small University in the northern province of Mazandaran started a protest against the oppressive policies of the Islamic Republic. While student protests are nothing new in Iran, this time there is something indeed new. In three days, students have started a blog and have managed to fill it with pictures and statements. There is also footage from the kidnapping of one of the students by the Police in the blog".

here are some pictures and some fresh faces:

check out the guy lifting his hand at the right. ruff guy !

Iranian Students Protest Against Israel

2007-02-12T16:55:00.000+02:00

Today a group of Iranian students gathered in front of Nestle headquarters in Tehran to protest against Israel for touching their holy mosque (Al-Aqsa) in Jerusalem.

AFP wrote: A statement from the students said Nestle should either to close down its operations in Israel or face a continued boycott of its product by the Iranian students.

sometimes the Iranian photographers do an excellent job.

the red sign says: "achtung" or "be careful" while the fulls are standing in the background.

the kid is holding a sign, being a good muslim boy.
ths sign says: "Nestle Cacao = Zionist weapon"

"Nestle Cacao = Zionist weapon"

the sign says: " Stop the Zionists bulling"

oh yes... nice T-shirt.... much better than the president's jackets

let's all pray together... yes. as you can see most of the students are friendly religious Iranians. they were probably sent there by some union close to the regime and i'm glad to see that only 50 fulls could make it eventually.

AFP: Launched in 2001, Nestle's Iran operation employs 180 staff and produces Iranian's favourite instant coffee Nescafe, as well as creamer and baby food.

"I just talked to my folks and my mom said TV is showing video clips and music. Nothing extra ordinary out there at 7:30 am of 5th of Jan, 07.And you know what, if the regime wanted to prepare the masses for khamenei's death, they had to ask people to pray for him just like the way they asked people to do the same for khomeini in 1989 and before he died. Nothing of this sort is going on inIran right now but I keep my fingers crossed..."

Can u tell the difference?

2006-11-16T00:08:00.000+02:00

Many people in Israel can't tell the difference between arabs and iranians. Most people would say that it's the same "shit", but iranians (like mr. Mottaki) are persians, not arabs. You should know your enemies better.

Ahmadinejad in Tel-Aviv

2006-09-03T15:58:00.000+03:00

Not only we have to see his monkey face on the news, thanks to a real creative israeli advertisement Ahmadinejad is the new "star of Gush-Dan provience". (all rights reserved to Ehud Banai).

These pictures are from north tel-aviv streets, infact it's 2 blocks away from my place.
the sign says: "only good intentions". in hebrew it also means: "only good targets", in a sense that Ahmadinejad is right nowone of the most hated persons in israel and the most popolistic view here is that israel have to assassinate him. too bad he's full of shit and the real leader of Iran is Mr. Khamenei.

the blog would like to send speical thanks to Moran Rada who sent the pictures for me, you can do it too, you know.

The Jewish Community in Iran

2006-08-24T11:35:00.000+03:00

more than 25 thousand jews are living today in Iran, the biggest jewish community in the middle east, outside Israel. as you can see they don't have problems with their religious life and that is because Iran has no problem with jews, only when they have a country...

these pics are from Tehran, Yossef-abad synagogue.

Blogging

today i read that the media assistent of president "iammadnigad" said that his blog is another way to get to the young iranians (to wash their brain). the president of iran doesn't have the time to run the blog by himself, he said.

damn, israeli hackers, go on to another website.

did you watch his interview on CBS ? the man knows what he's doing. he swims in the media water like a lutra in the river.

he and Bibi (Benjamin Netanyahu) will be good friends.

Bibi is back, soon. that's the good/bad news.

these pictures were taken at Kiryat Shmona by a friend of mine who called to serve in the Israeli army in a turtle 8 ("come here right now no matter what are you doing now, this is an emergency").

the nice young man had to sacrifice his Toyota corolla for the state of israel. what a brave young man.
