Iranians Furious After Finding Jewish Symbol Hidden In Plain View

• Gizmodo
Ahmadinejad and his antisemitic cronies are fuming with anger after discovering the Star of David on the roof of Iran Air headquarters at Tehran's airport. The building was originally built by Israeli engineers prior to the the Islamic Revolution.

Nobody noticed the Jewish symbol until someone found it in Google Maps. The building—which hosts their national airline at the Mehrabad International Airport—was built by Israeli engineers before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The star has been hidden in plain sight for more than four decades now.

It's kinda difficult to be anti-semitic towards people that are not semitic in the first place. The Palestinians and the one's who are actually semetic.

Like every other government I can think of, the regime in Tehran is pretty detestable, as is the one ruling Israel. If Ahmadinejad and his cronies were the monomaniacal Jew-hating fanatics depicted in our government-aligned media, however, it would be difficult to account for the fact that tens of thousands of native-born Jews live and worship unmolested in Iran, that some of them have been elected to the legislature, and that Ahmadenijad himself has arranged for donations to Tehran's Jewish hospital.

This should be kept in mind when reading stories like the one linked above that try to shoehorn Iran into a swastika-shaped mold.
