Fundamentalist governments and organizations endanger stability in the world.

Our family has lived in Iran for 2,500 years, and Iranian Jewry has the long history in that land.

I have strong sentiments toward Iran, since I distinguish between the Iranian regime and the Iranian people. I highly esteem Iranian music and culture.

I am sure the majority of Iranians want a peace agreement with Israel and want Iran to integrate with the international community and accept its universal values.

Iran stands behind a substantial number of terrorist actions against us, together with Hizballah and the Islamic Jihad. It pretends to care for the Palestinians.

There are severe limitations on civil rights. In the international arena, Iran is turning into an isolated country, and the international community is becoming more hostile toward it.

The Holocaust is not only a tragedy of the Jewish people, it is a failure of humanity as a whole.

Persian social manners are well known, and there is no other society that can compete with them.

The Hamas organization is unwilling to honor the obligations that the Palestinian Authority has signed.

The international community is unwilling to accept the policies of the Iranian regime.

Apparently Iran thinks that it can continue to deceive the world in order to reach its goals.

There is no one who takes care of us as lovingly as our mother does. She is our living God.

Writing is one way to achieve enchantment.

Can you imagine a life with no fear? What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats?

Facing the kitsch aesthetic is the unfathomable world of myths.

You have to have an objective, a goal, some thought process, some strategy in your mind for whatever you do. Otherwise it's a waste of time.

When you have endless time, you take all day to go to the grocery store. But, if you have to be at work for 14 hours a day, you manage your time better. I know I do.
