Where do you think most of these murdering ISIS mother****ers come from? Hint: It starts with an "I" and it sure as Hell isn't Israel. Now, excuse me while I go phucking throw-up after reading a statement from someone that those murdering terrorist bastards are "pretty cool"....Jesus Christ...what's wrong with people nowadays that makes them make such a ridiculous offensive statement like that? Do they hate jews/Israel so much that they are blinded to the truth about the evil nature of Iranians? "Pretty cool", my ass. People who make statements like that need serious psychiatric care...and please don't tell me "they're not all bad and that I should meet some of them so I can see for myself" That shit isn't going to happen. I wouldn't trust any Iranian any further than I could throw him/her...ever.
Star, there is no point in getting such an emotional response over something that might be just a misunderstanding between us, obviously we aren't engaging the experience of iranian people on the same level. Let me clarify.
The first people who are hurt and affected by the nefarious tendencies of the Iranian government are the iranians themselves, those I've met (obviously not in Iran, since I've never had the pleasure to visit that country), have expressed their disagreement with the general policies of the state. All of them want peace, because they are aware of the damage war has done to their society.
Just like with americans, or french, or whatever, you'll find that many of them are rather sensible and willing to openly accept those from abroad. Taxi Téhéran just won the Golden Bear in Germany. Watch that movie and then come back and tell me Panahi is full of hate. Panahi's movies got censored by the government, he's forbidden to film in his own country. Their sensibility and cool attitude isn't erased because their government acts in dubious ways.
Am I somehow condoning burning flags?
