Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed to have Jewish past – Telegraph — Cripes! What next?

A photograph of the Iranian president holding up his identity card during elections in March 2008 clearly shows his family has Jewish roots.

A close-up of the document reveals he was previously known as Sabourjian – a Jewish name meaning cloth weaver. The short note scrawled on the card suggests his family changed its name to Ahmadinejad when they converted to embrace Islam after his birth.

The Sabourjians traditionally hail from Aradan, Mr Ahmadinejad’s birthplace, and the name derives from “weaver of the Sabour”, the name for the Jewish Tallit shawl in Persia. The name is even on the list of reserved names for Iranian Jews compiled by Iran’s Ministry of the Interior. Experts last night suggested Mr Ahmadinejad’s track record for hate-filled attacks on Jews could be an overcompensation to hide his past.

    This is just one more example of why real racists go back unto the 15th generation of the 15th generation. THIS poser is probably a homosexual too, if they exist.

    Best. Mossad. Infiltration. Evah!

    And what does that change?

  4. bill says:

    Check out his genetics also, I bet he’s directly related to ‘Eurasian Adam’, which most males on this crummy little planet are also

    (he was a black African) Ha!

    I suppose that we will also find out that he was refused at an art school.

    How does the old joke go?

    “I guess I’m not an antisemite afterall, I’m just another self loathing jew.”

    For those of you that have gotten all their information, regarding Iran, from America’s Israeli infiltrated media…

    As most of my readers know, Ahmadinejad did not use that phrase in Persian. He quoted an old saying of Ayatollah Khomeini calling for ‘this occupation regime over Jerusalem” to “vanish from the page of time.’ Calling for a regime to vanish is not the same as calling for people to be killed. Ahmadinejad has not to my knowledge called for anyone to be killed.

    If Ahmadinejad is a genocidal maniac who just wants to kill Jews, then why are there 20,000 Jews in Iran with a member of parliament in Tehran? Couldn’t he start at home if that was what he is really about?

    I was talking to two otherwise well-informed Israeli historians a couple of weeks ago, and they expressed the conviction that Ahmadinejad had threatened to nuke Israel. I was taken aback. First of all, Iran doesn’t have a nuke. Second, there is no proof that Iran even has a nuclear weapons program. Third, Ahmadinejad has denied wanting a bomb. Fourth, Ahmadinejad has never threatened any sort of direct Iranian military action against Israel. In other words, that is a pretty dramatic fear for educated persons to feel, on the basis of . . . nothing.

  9. harold says:

    I love it! Now the jews are going to claim he isn’t a jew as they did with Hitler and Stalin.

  10. Cap'nKangaroo says:

    He needs to show his real birth certificate, not some sham “identity paper”. There is a blogger trying to raise his hits that has proof he is Obama’s fraternal twin, born in Kenya.

  11. amodedoma says:

    Great, just like Hitler. I wonder if his homeboys know…

  12. Terry says:

    Not only is he Jewish but he is Armenian too. Check out that ian ending in his original name. Now the country of Turkey hates him too!

    He can’t be Gay because “Iran doesn’t have any Gay people”. That because Iran has killed all their Gays!

  13. Terry says:

    Not only is he Jewish but he is Armenian too. Check out that ian ending in his original name. Now the country of Turkey hates him too!

    He can’t be Gay because “Iran doesn’t have any Gay people”. That because Iran has killed all their Gays!

  14. Terry says:

    Next we will find out that he is an American! We will find out that he is Bush’s baby brother or sister!

  15. Terry says:

    But he is not Gay!

  16. Terry says:

    Now in a Synogue and an Armenian Church near you the President of Iran.

    But never been in a Bath House or a Mennesota Airport Men’s room. He dos not have a wide stance. He has never played wide receiver in the above two places.

  17. Rich says:

    “Calling for a regime to vanish is not the same as calling for people to be killed.”

    Possibly some Jews think others want to just kill them all. It seems some Jews equate scrutiny and questions with hatred. It’s like, “I’m a superior Jew because my God says so, and my texts say so, and if you question this, or attempt to hold me accountable for my actions, you are the devil!”

    So was this statement by the Ayatollah willfully distorted?

    On a more reasonable note, when can we reasonable people in the West just live our lives and prosper without having to worry about destructive nutballs in the Middle East are up to?

    Yasser Arafat was.

  19. MikeN says:

    Juan Cole writes
    Ahmadinejad also says he has no objection to a Jewish state in and of itself, he just thinks it should be located in, say, German territory set apart for the purpose, rather than displacing Palestinians from their homes.

    Sounds like he’s wiping Israel from the map.

  20. Uncle Patso says:

    Charles Krauthammer says that, to a first approximation, everyone is jewish.

  21. Rick Cain says:

    Kruathammer is verfiably insane though.

  22. Navid09 says:

    I am an Iranian. It’s really shocking! I think this is the first time I really hate a Jew!
