					<description><![CDATA[On September 29 2014, Israeli president Benjamen Netanyahu delivered a speech to the UN, essentially an apologia for Israeli policies. Not surprisingly, most of Netanyahu&#8217;s talk was about Iran. It is said, referring to the Bohemian lifestyle surrounding Washington Square, that whenever a virgin passes by the statue of Garibaldi in Washington Square Park, he [&#8230;]]]></description>

In order to generate greater public awareness of this, I&#8217;d like to interview some [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t weighed in on the artificial debate over the whether or not Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad&#8217;s famous sentence at the October 2005 World without Zionism conference could be translated as, &#8220;Israel should be wiped off the map.&#8221; The meme has spread in progressive circles that there is some grounds for [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I strongly disagree with the thrust of the following declaration, but believe that it is important because it reflects the feelings of many Iranian opponents of the current Iranian government. I will post my thoughts on the matter on a separate page. I&#8217;d like to thank Setareh Sabety and Mina Siegel for reviewing the translation [&#8230;]]]></description>

(For a good summary of this affair, see Gareth Porter&#8217;s excellent reporting.) On October 17, Mehr News Agency [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On September 2, 1980, the village of Qarna witnessed a massacre committed by Revolutionary Guards. Behdad Bordbar, an Iranian Kurd living in exile in Scandinavia, asked some of his fellow-Kurdish refugees about their recollections of this now little-remembered act. The translation is taken from Radio Zamaneh, http://zamaaneh.com/humanrights/2010/09/post_703.html. A video of one of his interviewees speaking [&#8230;]]]></description>
