6. You know that over half of the Jews in Israel...
are "brown," right? Actually, some are black, from Ethiopia, But we're taking about the descendents of Jewish refugees from Arab states who were thrown out of their countries in the 50's, where for the most part, they had been living for a few thousand years. They are also known as Sephardim, Mizrahim or Arab Jews/Jewish Arabs.

And Iran is comprised of Persians, who are not particularly brown at all. (Especially compared with most Israelis.) You may think what you like about their policies or their skin color, however Iran was never thought of as lacking in culture or sophistication, nor was it colonized by racist Europeans. (Don't even try to bring up the Shah.)

By the way, colonialism ended a little while back, you may have missed it. But the Europeans today do, in fact, leave their former colonies alone to control their own damn lives. They discourage all nations from pursuing nuclear weapons nowadays. You can read about it in a device known as a "newspaper," or a similar instrument referred to as a "book." It's where I got all this great "information."
