  Like a brainwashed American would know anything about him. other than Zionist / Pahlavi propaganda about how evil he was.

  He was a spiritual figure to millions. A poet and a scholar.

      A revolution caused by western powers actively destabilizing Iran mind you. Not dick riding the ayatolah but they are a direct result of foreign meddling.

      Iranians outside Iran hate their country like the Cubans of Florida do. You can’t trust anything they say.

      You would understand better if the Jews had killed the pope and were dancing in the streets and Zionist media were labeling him a murdering paedophile who deserved to die.

        You have to really go out of your way to be this uneducated, like really there are endless sources on the atrocities and abuses by the royal guard of Iran and the ayatollah, you have to avoid and refuse to read them to have your viewpoint

        Yeah, clearly the ones still in Iran absolutely loved him. To the point where they recently went out to the streets to show their support, right?

    You should really stop acting like a country is some monolithic thing where everyone thinks and behaves the same. That’s not how it works anywhere. C’mon big dog, a little nuance isn’t going to hurt you.

  Some people are just so anti-USA and anti-israel that they can’t see further than “USA and Jews bad, everyone else good”.

    Reminds me of when the US took out Saddam, the US was wrong for invading Iraq. But saddam was not a good guy and deserved to die. Both can be true. And I do remember during the Iraq invasion people defending Saddam, not the people of Iraq but defending Saddam as a guy who was good cause he opposed America

    Conflating Israel and Jews is called antisemitism. If someone is just anti-Israel, they don’t become antisemitic from that (but it sure invites a lot of antisemites who smell a possible convert)

      Not quite, cause semites also includes Muslim Arabs, also most Anti-israel people are just anti-zionism, The thing is most people that are anti-israel are just anti-jews because they know nothing they talk about.

        When I was 14, I also wisecracked that, but then

        1. I learned that linguistics is a descriptive discipline, not a prescriptive one: meaning correspond to usage, not what a word is “supposed” to mean
        2. I realized that words often have meanings that don’t correspond to their literal translation

        So no, antisemitism doesn’t refer to any semitic tribes that aren’t Jewish.
