You're really 'on one', aren't you. Forcing shame and culpability for what? You made a 'joke in poor taste', and yet, at the same time holding to the other end of that lifeline which the 'zionists' are holding on to, since you're fuelling their cause with your blinkered view of world Jewry (what used to be Israel) and it's relation to Israel-the-Nation.
Your 'if everyone wore a yellow star' can only be written in this past tense:
'had worn'. This is something upon which a
Legend has already sprung, from the days when Denmark's King Christian led his citizens in in a silent resistence, but the reality was that it was not a yellow star which Danes wore, but their own flag.
In the early 1980s, the International Herald Tribune ran a full-page advertisement for war-era commemorative photo featuring Christian X on horseback with a Jewish Star of David on his sleeve. The image echoed a popular tale which claimed that the king wore the symbol as sign of support for and solidarity with Danish Jews suffering from Nazi persecution during the occupation. (The story had become well-known partially through its retelling in Leon Uris's 1958 novel about the founding of Israel, Exodus.) This attribution of support is apocryphal, however, as Jews in Denmark were never forced to wear the Star of David
As for being 'susceptible to perceived provocation' - my remarks on your provocative statements, were regarding how zionists would perceive you. That You feed them deliberately no doubt, but the only 'thing' you've provoked in me, in this thread, is the response that i can see clearly that you're deliberately provoking Zionists, and that although you didn't look antisemitic to me, it's incredibly clear how you could be perceived that way by others, regardless of their whether they're Jewish or not.
The more you write, the more you reveal, and now it appears from your most recent statement, that you're also stooping to the 'Yoo Jooz are all' accusation. Again, that's another way to ensure that even moderate non-Zionist Jews will become suspicious, or avoid discussions in threads where you're going off on your anti-YooJoo rant.
As for Your mixing of the words 'fascist zionist jew' etc all together in the same sentence - more deliberate provocation, else you're just a very sloppy writer, and have no idea about what effect you're writing is having upon those reading it.
So you're either ineffectual at putting your point across, or indulging in a bit of Jew baiting, since if we count the number of insults in your posts, and then count the number in mine, there's little comparison. You insist I should feel shame! You insist I want exclusive rights to the Yellow Badge worn by Jews in during the Nazi Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide of WWII! You say I invent persecution where there is none? You say I have a chip on my shoulder like other Urbanite Jews of which for you there are two types - those with chips on their shoulders, and those without.
This is a great insight into your mind. You really are digging yourself in deeper here, moono. I do hope you don't misunderstand the original point again.
"That's funny, you don't look antisemitic to me" is a book by Steve Cohen which I can recommend, even though I don't align his ultra-left-wing viewpoint on other things. Other than that, your respect for my past posts is not necessary. Any online persona
is the sum of their words. Try running some of those posts ^^ you made earlier in this thread through a translator - into...french and german, and then see what you're saying to the world!
We're also talking about what is really happening, and what is really happening is that Iran's Govt. is going to indulge in the perogative of any Govt., and subsidise an emerging enterprise until it can become self-supporting, by creating Islamic fashion houses, since women mainly make their own clothes or have other women tailors make them for them, and normally buy fabric only from a shop or a street-to-street fabric merchant. I believe there's an import-stoppage on westernised clothes into Iran, and want to encourage that same business/fashion house approach to Islamic/Eastern clothes fashions as any other culture.
MY favourite Persian fashions are in those beautiful miniatures of sumptuous medieval silks and only very discreet veils over the lower face. (better/worse than lipstick? - what psychological effect were those devised for upon one's lover, etc?) hehe.
By all means sit in the corner playing your guitar with the yellow star in some kind of warped solidarity, but my guess is that Jewish women in Iran will continue on dressing as they already do.
A Jewish Member of the Iranian Parliament has also spoken of how there is no truth in the NP/JP rumours from these Iranian exiles who are spreading these rumours. This seems like a repeat of some earlier rumours spread by Iranian exiles in previous years. I'll see what I can find out about them, and their allegiences.
