For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Iranian Young People Shout: 'Death to Ahmadinejad,'

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Saturday March 22, 2008 14:30author by Mullah Kintyre Report this post to the editors

Iranian youths staged a massive protest on Wednesday, calling for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s death during the Persian celebration of Lag Ba'omer. In the western city of Ahvaz, youths of the Arab minority chanted "Freedom is our legitimate right" while crowds shouted “Death to Ahmadinejad” while lighting bonfires in the city of Sanandaj. Bonfires and firecrackers are traditional in marking the occasion. Police officers attempting to arrest the revelers were greeted with a barrage of firecrackers and other missiles.

"The police in Tehran were out in force and Ahmed Raza-Radan, the police chief in Tehran, warned demonstrators against violating the rule of law in a news conference.

The police force has resolved to detain any party-goers who break the law. The secret police will have full control, and will not hesitate to photograph citizens for evidence," he said.

Regarding the ad posted on one of the youth websites, calling for all celebrants to join the park bonfire in Tehran, the police chief said, "Use of the internet to invite people to bonfires is prohibited, and no one requested permission for it."


Just to show how free Iranian Society is Iran's "Culture" Ministry announced the closure of nine cinema and lifestyle magazines for publishing pictures and stories about the life of "corrupt" foreign film stars and promoting "superstitions." Way to go!

More news will follow on the Youth action against the Itanian Regime.

Keep it up and soon the Islamic lunatics will be thrown on the ash heap of history.

A sure they wont have long to wait. When the 'youth' are picking their friends body parts up from the streets after the US bombs Iran to 'liberate' it they'll find dancing isn't as much fun when you have 'Freedom' US style to deal with.

The fires they'll be dancing around will have consumed Iranians by the tens of thousands.

But sure thats what all you islamophobes want isn't it?

Surely theres more than one alternative. It cant be just a choice of either rule by Islamic Clergy or be bombed by the US. Why cant the youths have the right to a free society?

No Bush and No Mullahs, just a Free Democratic Iran. Do the youth of Iran not have the right to aspire to that?Why not free and open elections instead of last weeks farce where most of even the moderate opposition were not allowed to stand for election.

interesting: i've tracked the source of this story, which was picked up by upi, but which seems to have originated at ynet news, which describes itself as an English language Israel news and content website operated by Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel’s most-read tabloid, and the Hebrew Israel news portal, Ynet. The Yedioth Group also owns stocks in the Israeli TV Channel "Channel 2"; "Hot", the Cable TV company, weekly local newspapers, magazines, and other non-media companies. Ynetnews editor Yon Feder is being appointed to be editor of Yedioth Ahronoth.

from one study of planestinian access to media:

'Yon Feder, the director of the Yediot site in Arabic echoes this: "The original idea was to direct this site to Arabs outside Israel, to surfers in the Arab world, to better represent the Israeli position" (Goldberg, 2002). Many Palestinian Israelis thus see this site as an attempt to shape events with a purely Israeli Jewish perspective, particularly in relation to the conflict. As such, it is often seen as propaganda, a point that will be addressed later.'

There are lots of other pics of the same bonfires all over the net, most with young women wering the jijab and dancing. Omitted from the post is any indication that the bonfires are part of an annual holiday.

"The night before last, Iranians everywhere gathered around bonfires with family and friends to celebrate the eve of Chahar Shanbeh Soori, or Fiery Wednesday. Traditionally, this ancient holiday is practiced by jumping over flames, and chanting phrases like, "Sorkhiye toh az man, zardiye man az toh." Meaning, your (the fire's) glow/ruddiness in exchange for my (the jumper's) fatigue/pallor."

My guess is that the post is a clumsy attempt on the part of organized Zionists to prepare the ground for an attack on Iran. Don't fall for it.

" Omitted from the post is any indication that the bonfires are part of an annual holiday."

Thats a downright lie. The article states: "Bonfires and firecrackers are traditional in marking the occasion." You must really have contempt for the readers intelligence if you thought you were going to get away with that. All people have to do is scroll back up to read it.

Why does it always have to be achoice of supporting a religious dictatorship or US imperialism.?Supporting democracy in Iran does not mean that you are a supporter of Zionism. The Palestinians are entitled to their own State and the Iranians are entitled to democracy free of US interference.

"My guess is that the post is a clumsy attempt on the part of organized Zionists to prepare the ground for an attack on Iran."

Yeah and by the same "logic" I reckon your contribution is a clumsy attempt by supporters of the Iranian Government to discredit any supporters of democracy in Iran.
