"(Ahmadinejad's) office recently donated money for Tehran's Jewish hospital. It is one of only four Jewish charity hospitals worldwide and is funded with money from the Jewish diaspora - something remarkable in Iran where even local aid organizations have difficulty receiving funds from abroad for fear of being accused of being foreign agents."
"The U.S. State Department has made claims of discrimination in Iran against Jews. According to its study, Jews may not occupy senior positions in government and are prevented from serving in the judiciary and security services and from becoming public school heads. The study says that Jewish citizens are permitted to obtain passports and to travel outside the country, but they often are denied the multiple-exit permits normally issued to other citizens. Allegations made by the U.S. State Department have been condemned by Iranian Jews. The Association of Tehrani Jews said in a statement, "We Iranian Jews condemn claims of the US State Department on Iranian religious minorities, announced that we are fully free to perform our religious duties and we feel no restriction on performing our religious rituals."

Phatpackage is right. Although the head of Iran has good points pertaining to the Zionist regime and America's ties to them, Iran is lead by a dictator.
Music is for the most part illegal, kids can't play shows, practice or do ANYTHING because it's against the law in Iran.

Iran has a many centuries long history of persecutiing and genociding its once very large Jewish population - the remnant that remain are permitted between bouts of persecution to exist in ghettos as second class citizens - limited to certain professions, unable to build or repair temples etc.
Of course - the 'end times cannot happen until the Muslims fight and kill all the Jews',so with the expectation of the Mahdi's imminent arrival, at fever pitch in Iran right now - things arn't looking so hot for the Jews there.

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is demonized in the Western media. He is called an anti-Semite and the "new Hitler". But if those claims are true, then why did the majority of Iran's Jews vote for Ahmadinejad in recent presidential elections? Could it be that most of what we know about Ahmadinejad is just baseless rumor and propaganda? This excerpt appeared in an article by the BBC news.bbc.co.uk...:
"(Ahmadinejad's) office recently donated money for Tehran's Jewish hospital.

Ahmadinejad poses no threat to Israel or the United States. Like everyone else in the Middle East, he just wants a breather from US and Israeli aggression.
This is from Wikipedia:
"The U.S. State Department has made claims of discrimination in Iran against Jews.

The lies about Ahmadinejad are no different than the lies about Saddam Hussein or Hugo Chavez or even Qaddafi. The US and Israel are trying to create the justification for another war. That's why the media credits Ahmadinejad with saying things that he never really said. He never said that he wanted to "wipe Israel off the map". That's another fiction.
