  • Professor, forgive me. Are you actually asking why Hezbollah and Hamas aren't showing concern for human rights???

    You're kidding, right?

  • Right on. The thugs of Hamas and Hezbollah have been seen beating innocent Iranians who are simply asking for the freedom and basic human rights. We will soon see the day come when all of these thugs will be tried. We sill see democracy in the ME and the end of all of these despotic regimes headed by Iran.

see all

  • What an insane analysis.

  • @jasonthemankiller He is a very knowledgeable person. He received his bachelor's in Applied Physics and Mathematics from Yale Univ. and P.h.D from Harvard Univ and has thought in Brown, Yale, Harvard, and UCLA. Perhaps you are an idiot.

  • This is funny...when america hates a country it fights it using all means..

  • The only reason why Ahmadinejad got re-elected is the unconditional support of the supreme leader.Have you seen Israeli or turk asking for a recount in 2000? Seriously propagandist like this should be ashamed and he is a teacher?

  • I don't know what kind of stuff you are smoking but you should change of dealer.The Basij militia were the one beating protesters. Why would they bring foreigner to deal with their internal problem?That's so incoherent , were they wearing hezollah and hamas badges or something? Why don't you take a good hard look at your national protest repression.

  • I used to champion the Palestinian cause. I even wrote articles in the news paper in the USA about how oppressed they were. I lost any apathy I had and realized they need Israel to take care of them, once in for all. These Hezbollah fighters can not be even called animals because savage animals are more humane. They are the lowest form of life, kill for money.They will be executed after the Mullahs fall.They will be executed after the Mullahs fall. Long Live Iran death to all the dicators

  • They are who were bitting us we don't forget that, I will never ever suppOrt them again, they deserve what has happend to them, VIVA ISRAEL

  • do u expect hezbollah and hamas to back up the rebels in Iran that are working on the american israeli british and western project?
