If somebody would talk like him in year 2007 then media would call him racist, anti-semite, neo-nazi and God knows who else. Political correctness as its best.

Iran under the Shaw had a pretty close relationship with Israel....

Just found it interesting since shah was supposed to be one of closest US/Israel ally in region.
So how close US and shah realy was if he talks in public TV about "evil zionists". Or that was "Ok" in year 1976 to say things like this?
I disagree with him btw.

I'd have to say that he lived in interesting times.
