(Some puzzled rescuers) Amusing "We saw two men, who were Iranians, drowning in the sea. We took them on our boat and battled the sea 45 minutes until we reached land. They hugged and kissed us, but when we told them we were Israelis, they got up and ran away"   (ynetnews.com) divider line 88

To be fair, they probably would have been shot for making pro-zionist propaganda when they got home if they hadn't.

I wouldn't say that's amusing, but it certainly shows you are judged as a human being by the farked up shiat your government does.

What it made me think of. You can only assume the Iranians lost their vial of Gypsie tears when they were drowning.

So you're saying that the Iranians ran in shame at the actions of their government?

What were they more afraid of, the Joooows, or their government which would punish them for making Israelis look the least bit sympathetic? Advantage: push

I think it says more about the BS propaganda Iran disseminates about Israel than the BS propaganda Israel disseminates about Iran. Both side are bad

To be fair, it's probably less about the religion and more about the country. If you were rescued from a boat in the '40s and ran away because you found out your rescuers were Nazis, I doubt anyone's reaction would be "LOL HE FRAID OF CATHOLICS". Israel is pretty much a third-world theocracy dressed up with the tech and weapons of the first world.

When that story is told in Teheran, they have the rescued and the rescuers reversed. Story needed to end with a rimshot.

Seriously, if you ask pretty much any ordinary Iraqi, "Who is the enemy?" they will not reply, "the Israelis." They will reply, "The Jews."

Just try being a Israeli Muslim who has lived in Israel all your life and watch newly arrived Ethiopian and Russian Joos get more rights than you !!!

Well except for the fact that the country closest to the Nazis in your little example is Iran, not Israel.

Only if by "get more rights" you mean "get equal rights, which they shouldn't have because of their inferior religion."

As far as religion causing wars, I think religion is overstated as a cause of most wars. Wars are useful to people in power and religion is a useful tool for causing them.

They were rescued by a Nimrod. Of course they ran off.

Am I the only person amused by the fact that one of the Israelis in this story is named "Nimrod"?

Good start, but it appears to have fizzled out.

Well, how about that? I did not know "Nimrod" was a real name. Huh.

taurusowner: Well except for the fact that the country closest to the Nazis in your little example is Iran, not Israel.

Iran is a theocracy struggling desperately to pull itself up from third-world status. Israel is a theocracy with a modern military and a nuclear arsenal with a history of putting people from the wrong ethnic group into enclaves and denying them employment.

While my point wasn't really to draw that general a parallel, from the perspective of someone actually living in the region I suspect you may have it backwards. Though obviously it'd be hyperbolic regardless since there isn't anyone in the middle east remotely interested in conquering anything, they're just all mutually nervous about heavily-armed neighbors looking over their borders while stroking their rifles.

Nimrod was a great hunter - maybe he was intimidated.

I'm not scared of Jews (except maybe my mom and wife).

Nimrod Machani (27) has been working as a Tel Aviv coast lifeguard for four years.Melvin Lovecraft: Well, how about that? I did not know "Nimrod" was a real name. Huh.

Now who's the nimrod?

Maybe they were scared they would be offered a great deal on factory direct Egyptian bathrobes that would turn out to be 3 sizes too small and then be only offered a partial refund.

Except that Gypsy tears protect you from AIDS, not Jews.

The way to handle Jews is to throw dollar bills at their feet and run while they're distracted.

I was really looking forward to saying that this Xmas, but my lady had perfectly wrapped the lights up last year so that there were no tangles.

I bet the JEWS did that! They're so organized!

I work with an Iranian Jew. I don't know much about how they're treated in Iran, but wikipedia might help with that.
 
2011-11-29 05:39:12 PM
It's possible the two Iranians were government employees. Being seen in a foreign country with two Israelis (and mentioned in the press!) is not a good thing for them. If they were everyday Iranian schmuks, they would have likely bought drinks for their new Israeli pals. Or, these guys may have been schmuks who also happen to be dickbags, But not all Iranians are dickbags. I know this for a fact.

Have you ever met an Israeli Muslim or been to Israel, or are you just making things up as you go along? Israeli Arabs have equal rights of employment, housing, speech, voting, etc, which is far more than any non-Muslims, women, or even Muslims of the wrong ethnicity can say in most of the Arab/Muslim world. I'd go so far as to say that the average Muslim in Israel is granted far more human rights than the average Muslim in Syria or Iran.
