The Arab people of Iran have lived for thousands of years in South Western Iran. They form 6-8% of Iran’s population and are deeply rooted in this ancient land. Under the Mosha’sha dynasty, Arabs acquired an independent entity, called Arabistan, in 1424, which was bound by Kermanshah and Sahne from the north, Ehsa’ and Qatif from the south, Kohgiluye mountains from the east, and Koot, and Emarah from the west. The king EsmailSafavi conquered Arabistan and ended 80 years of independent governance from the capital Howaiza, but he retained their full autonomy. Afterwards, the region was intermittently independent or fully autonomous.

During both the Safavid and Qajar dynasties Arabistan was one the four or six “Protected Cantons of Iran,” respectively. However, king Reza Pahlavi toppled ShaikhKhaz’al, the last Arab ruler in Arabistan. Following this event, for the past eight decades, the names of natural landmarks, towns, villages, neighbourhoods, and streets have been changed to Persian. In the past decade, we have been prohibited to even give non-religious Arabic names to our children. Furthermore, both the Pahlavi and the Islamic regimes have actively changed the demographic make of the province against native Arabs. The year 1925, when Arabs lost their political rule, marked the beginning of national oppression. This oppression consists of a set of economic, political, cultural, and linguistic injustices based on racist prejudices against the Arab people who are now known as the Ahwazi Arabs and live in the province of Khuzestan and other neighbouring provinces in Iran. Ahwazi Arabs speak Arabic, are Shi’ite Muslims, and possess a distinct folklore and culture from other nations of Iran.

  • Iranian’s want to be left alone. Free from that WORTHLESS Israel who corners the market in Medical Isotopes and doesn’t want Iran not just to have Nuclear Power but NO NUCLEAR.

    Iran is and remains 100% legal in their Nuclear programs.
    Even the Mossad and CIA on March 18th 2012 confirmed that Iran DOESN’T have a Nuclear Weapon’s program. If this is so, Why would Netenyahu continue screaming? Israel wants total Market domination of the Medical field.

    Not to mention that the Jewish Atlanta Journalist openly said that the “US based Mossad” should assassinate Obama for not being “Friendly” to Israel. If an American said that they’d be in GITMO.

    Also, It is not the POLICY of any Country to pick the name of another country’s Capitol. Even more so since that alleged Capitol is within the Occupied Territories of which Israel has for DECADES been in violation of 65 UN Resolutions as well as War Crimes, Ethnic Cleansing, Genocide and crimes against Humanity.

    Which in closing, After watching Fukushima for over a year spill radiation and poison their people. For Israel to attack a Working Nuclear Reactor thus causing it to go into MELT-DOWN spreading Radio-Active Isotopes all over Iran and other countries as well as bombing Depleted Uranium that this would be a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY and a WAR CRIME and should be Charges, Convicted and Put to death its War Criminal’s.

    Should this happen, I hope they sell tickets. As I want one.

    So what is all the fuss about?

    It’s a paper entitled: Preparing For A Post Israel Middle East, an 82 page analysis that concludes that the American national interest in fundamentally at odds with that of Zionist Israel. The authors concludes that Israel is currently the greatest threat to US national interests because its nature and actions prevent normal US relations with Arab and Muslim countries and, to a growing degree, the wider international community.

    The study was commissioned by the US Intelligence Community comprising 16 American intelligence agencies with an annual budget in excess of $ 70 billion.

    The IC includes the Departments of the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Defense Intelligence Agency, Departments of Energy, Homeland Security, State, Treasury, Drug Enforcement Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Security Agency, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency commissioned the study.

    Gross Israeli interference in the internal affairs of the United States through spying and illegal US arms transfers. This includes supporting more than 60 ‘front organizations’ and approximately 7,500 US officials who do Israel’s bidding and seek to dominate and intimidate the media and agencies of the US government which should no longer be condoned;

    • That the United States government no longer has the financial resources, or public support to continue funding Israel. The more than three trillion dollars in direct and indirect aid from US taxpayers to Israel since 1967 is not affordable and is increasingly being objected to by US taxpayers who oppose continuing American military involvement in the Middle East. US public opinion no longer supports funding and executing widely perceived illegal US wars on Israel’s behalf. This view is increasingly being shared by Europe, Asia and the International public;
