Iran is a bit of a tulip hole but undoubtedly treats it's citizens fairer than Burma, Vietnam, China, Cuba.

I will put money on that they do not fine people for putting the bins out a day early.

We are told to hate Iran and that is why many do so.

Hmm Iranian citizens treated "fairer" than Cuban ones - how so?

[NotAllThere]

For fooks sake, they are treated like second class citizens in their own country. Open your eyes man.

Check your fooking eyes man. Palestinian arabs don't have the same rights . Moron

And, you fooking moron. In the Worlds Smeggiest Places, first - North Korea, second - Saudi Arabia - third Iran. Somewhere around 10th is Vietnam.

Maldives, where you love to holiday - 6th

Yes, they hang 15 year-old homosexuals. That's pretty fair.

You mean "a Palestinian"? Israeli Arabs have exactly the same rights and privileges as Israeli Jews.

Lets wait for them to complete their nuclear missile. Then we'll decide if we like or hate them

Youre right they wouldnt fine you for putting the bins out on the wrong day... they'd cut your hands off so you dont do it again.

...Maybe some of those ambasadors should try living as an Israeli arab for a few weeks.

Oh good. It wasn't wasted.

For the hard of thinking. It's not about victims.

While recognising that the Israeli secret service, police and army are not averse to a little physical persuasion, quite happy to assassinate terrorists, and don't care particularly about collateral damage; the only country that you'd recognise as free if you lived there, in the Middle East, is Israel (edit - maybe Lebanon). Arabs and Palestinians with Israeli citizenship have exactly the same rights as Jewish citizens. This is why it's inaccurate to compare with Apartheid.

Iran routinely uses torture and murder against non-muslims, homosexuals, and indeed people who want to change the status quo.

Egypt and Lebanon are probably the next most free, but still pretty much police states. Jordan, Syria - safer not to be against the status-quo.

Bringing up the apartheid that is modern Israel seems fairly apt at a conference on racism.

And do you think Iran is the country to point it out to everyone?

[DodgyAgent]

Eh - whaddya mean Sandy was Downed?

who did she go down on?

[Clippy]

don'e upset the consensus - repeat 500 times: Israel is a victim, Israel will always be the victim.

Aye - saves you from being labelled an anti-semite as well!

[ThomasSoerensen]

Putting aside the fact that Ahmadinejad said this and focussing on the content, is their any substance to what he said?
