       This BBC interviewer is absolutely disgusting as she tried to
       make the London based Palestinian official condemn Hamas and NOT
       Israel, even though he has just lost nearly an entire family of
       relatives (including young children) in this latest Gaza
       conflict.

       Israel and Iran maintained close ties. Iran was the second
       Muslim-majority country to recognize Israel[9] as a sovereign
       state after Turkey.[10][11] Israel viewed Iran as a natural ally
       as a non-Arab power on the edge of the Arab world, in accordance
       with David Ben Gurion's concept of an alliance of the periphery.
       Israel had a permanent delegation in Tehran which served as a de
       facto embassy, before Ambassadors were exchanged in the late
       1970s.[12][13]

       portion of its oil needs and Iranian oil was shipped to European
       markets via the joint Israeli-Iranian Eilat-Ashkelon
       pipeline.[14][15] Trade between the countries was brisk,[16]
       with Israeli construction firms and engineers active in Iran. El
       Al, the Israeli national airline, operated direct flights
       between Tel Aviv and Tehran.[17] Iranian-Israeli military links
       and projects were kept secret, but they are believed to have
       been wide-ranging,[18] for example the joint military project
       Project Flower (1977–79), an Iranian-Israeli attempt to develop

       greatly improved the life of Jews. The influence of the Shi'a
       clergy was weakened, and the restrictions on Jews and other
       religious minorities were abolished.[62] Reza Shah prohibited
       mass conversion of Jews and eliminated the Shi'ite concept of
       ritual uncleanness of non-Muslims.[citation needed] Modern
       Hebrew was incorporated into the curriculum of Jewish schools
       and Jewish newspapers were published. Jews were also allowed to
       hold government jobs.[6] In 1915 two Jewish brothers, Mordechai
       and Asher ben Avaraham, opened the first Jewish newspaper called
       "Shalom". These changes moved the balance of power in the Jewish
       community from elders and Rabbis to the youth. Establishment of
       Zionist Organization of Persia further accelerated this transfer
       of power to the young Jews. The Jews of Persia understood that
       "Zion" is the biblical name of Jerusalem and Zionism
       demonstrates that end of exile and the beginning of redemption.
       The Persian Zionist Aziz ben Yona Naim wrote in the early 1920s
       :"Zionism is nothing but a new name and new institution, for the
       Zionist idea has been present in Jewish thought for over two
       thousands years."[63] In the wake of Zionist activity, many Jews
       emigrated to Palestine. Many Persian Jews were poorer than their
       European brethren but nevertheless they enthusiastically bought
       Shekels, contributed to the national funds, and sought to be
       represented at Zionist Congress held in Europe.

       In the above interview, Pahlavi never said that Jews should not
       be allowed to control the media, but merely stated that they in
       fact do.
       In the context of the Malcolm X quote, Pahlavi loved the people
       doing the oppressing even without the newspapers!
