II.

This article says that the government in Iran is becoming increasingly anti-semiticon the Jewish community of Iran. It is stated in the article that this threat is borderline genocide and that if no action is taken the outcome could be catastrophic. However, it stated that the UN has yet to hold the Iranian President responsible. Minister Shaul Mofaz compared the happenings in Iran to “the Nazi atrocities.”

III.

A. This article relates to the AP theme of Interaction of societies since it is Iranian community oppressing the Jewish community.

B. This issues history is basically just classic racism. With the majority of the population in Iran Muslim, the Iranians just treat the smaller, but plainly visible, population of the Jews very badly.

C. The author is most probably male, since his name is Michal Lando, and is probably an American citizen who writes for the J Post since it says he is stationed in New York.

D. This author does not seem to be Bias although he only quotes people who are opposed to the Iranians

E. The Point of view that is missing from this article is that of a Iranian leader to tell why it is they are “dehumanizing” the Jewish community

F. I feel what Iran is doing is terrible and that no one race should oppress a race because they are inferior or different then themselves.

I agree with Connor's saying. Racism is a horrible thing and it is something that should never be done. People shouldn't have fewer rights for what they believe in. It is just not right.

Racism still exists too much today and should be stopped. This is a good example of how a religion can be discriminated just because of varied beliefs. Very bad.
