I assumed the point was to prepare the ground for future devastating Zionism=Nazism comparisons.

Thanks, Janet. Just updated the post to let them know this story is not what it seems.

Be very careful when reading anything from Arab Propoganda…

“weâ€™re not anti-Semitic, just anti-Zionist”

Thats exactly what they are going for, with the added bonus of “…but the Zionist Jews already killed all the non-Zionist Jews.”

Ugh.

Nah, Eric. I heard that what they’re doing is showing that, although they are against Zionism, they’re sympathetic to Jews. It’s the old “we’re not anti-Semitic, just anti-Zionist” ploy.

I don’t know if it’s about real-life Iranian diplomats based in Europe. I heard that the series was about a half-Iranian half-Palestinian guy who saves a Jewish woman. It’s fiction, I think, and even as fiction pretty far-fetched.

Hot Air has some info making it look like the AP story was either them getting spun or a deliberate whitewash.

Maybe they’re trying to discredit the pre-Revolutionary government, saying “Look how bad things were before the Ayatollah! You had Iranian government workers helping Joos! And even bringing them to Palestine so they could turn it into Israel.”

Looks like it’s backfiring.
