46. Thanks, but what I was looking for
Was an "offical" Iranian site, or lacking that, a shia site that propagated such things, not ADL sites reporting it second hand.

I'm sure there is anti-semitism in Iran, just as there is in many parts of the world,including here in america, where Jerry Falwell, a man with close connections to american leaders, and a staunch "ally" of Israel states, "God does not listen to the prayers of a Jew".

And as Jerry is an "American Christian", does that mean that he echos the "offical" position of America, or of "Christians" for that matter? I should hope not - although he does echo the sentiments of an all too large a segment of the american population which he panders to.

And lets not forget that the "Elders of Zion" have been translated into a number of languages, not just persian, and read by many others, not just muslims. Ignorance, it seems, is multicultural and transcends creed.

What does concern me with the ADL site you have provided is the equating of Anti-zionism, the opposition to Israeli political and military policies with anti-semitism, a hatred of all Jews. The two are not equitable, and I'd dare say one would be hard pressed to find a pro-zionist state anywhere in the ME, except for Israel.
