Holy moly! The headline on Drudge Report remains, today,
"Iran Eyes Badges for Jews, Christians." The story claims that the Iran parliament has passed a law requiring Jews and Christians to wear badges in public. This incendiary story is supposed to be the final nail in Iran's coffin. Except it's disinformation, false,
A LIE.
Iran report of Holocaust-style badges questioned
2006-05-19 12:01:29
The National Post is sending shockwaves across the country this morning with a report that Iran's Parliament has passed a law requiring mandatory Holocaust style badges to identify Jews and Christians.
But independent reporter Meir Javedanfar, an Israeli Middle East expert who was born and raised in Tehran, says the report is false.
"It's absolutely factually incorrect," he told The New 940 Montreal.
"Nowhere in the law is there any talk of Jews and Christians having to wear different colours. I've checked it with sources both inside Iran and outside."
"The Iranian people would never stand for it. The Iranian government wouldn't be stupid enough to do it."
Good lord, stop the madness.
