  3. JNEWSWIRE Settling the Land  Fearful Iranian Jews furious about news of immigration to Israel – By Stan Goodenough
    Jewish community leaders in the Islamic Republic of Iran expressed outrage Wednesday at the „lying“ report that tens of Iranian Jews had secretly made aliyah (immigrated) to Israel.
    The vehement denials came after Israeli media earlier in the day trumpeted the news that 40 Jews had secretly made their way from Iran to the Jewish state, probably via a third, anonymous country.
    Iran’s leaders have repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel while working feverishly to develop the nuclear weapons with which to accomplish their goal.
    Nevertheless, the Jewish leaders that responded so strongly to Wednesday’s aliyah news were adamant that the country’s 25,000-strong Jewish community lives free of fear and experiences little if any antisemitism.

    2. FOXNEWS 40 Iranian Jews Make Exodus from Iran, Arrive in Israel to Escape Dangers
      TEL AVIV, Israel —  Greeted by joyous relatives and a crowd of Israeli TV reporters, about 40 Iranian Jews landed in Israel Tuesday, leaving behind their lives in an increasingly bellicose Islamic regime for new homes in the Jewish state.
      The new immigrants took a covert route, facilitated by the Israeli government and backed with funding from American evangelical Christians who see their efforts as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
      Relatives screamed in delight and threw candy at the newcomers as they emerged into the airport reception hall after a long bureaucratic procedure.
      Two brothers, Yosef and Michael, said they were glad to be in Israel. They declined to give their family name in order to protect relatives.
      „I feel so good,“ said Yosef, 16. „I just saw all of my family. You can’t put that into words.“
      Michael, 15, said he told all his friends where he was going, and they wanted to come along. „I was scared in Iran as a Jew,“ he said. „I would never be able to wear a skullcap in the streets there.“ Others said they felt safe in Iran, discounting warnings that Jews could become targets.
      The brothers arrived with their parents and a sister and were greeted by their grandparents, whom they had not seen since the grandparents left for Israel six years ago.

      Tel Aviv – Tränenreiche Ankunft in Israel: In Israel ist am Dienstagabend eine Gruppe jüdischer Einwanderer aus dem Iran eingetroffen. Die 40 Personen waren die größte Gruppe seit dem Sturz des Schah-Regimes und der islamischen Revolution 1979. Da es zwischen Israel und dem Iran keine Flugverbindungen gibt, mussten die 40 Einwanderer über ein geheim gehaltenes Drittland ausfliegen. „Im Iran war ich dreimal im Gefängnis unter der Anschuldigung, ein Spion zu sein. Ich bin deshalb mit meiner Ehefrau geflohen“, erklärte der 53-jährige Abraham Dajan, der von seinem Sohn abgeholt wurde, den er elf Jahre nicht gesehen hatte.

      JERUSALEM taz Mit Freudenschreien und Süßigkeiten sind am Dienstag 40 jüdische Einwanderer aus Iran am israelischen Flughafen Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv von ihren Verwandten begrüßt worden. Es ist die größte Gruppe von Immigranten seit der Islamischen Revolution in 1979. Die Frauen, Männer und Kinder sind ohne ihr Hab und Gut über ein Drittland – wahrscheinlich die Türkei oder Jordanien – ins Heilige Land eingereist. Da zionistische Aktivitäten verboten sind, konnten sie nur das mitnehmen, was für eine normale Urlaubsreise üblich ist. Internationale jüdische Organisation wollen sie deshalb mit einem Startkapital von umgerechnet 6.950 Euro pro Familie unterstützen.

    By Haaretz Service and Reuters
    Argentine Jewish newspaper Iton Gadol has received hundreds of emails slamming soccer legend Diego Maradona for his comments in praise of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Agentine Jewish news service reported Wednesday.
    According to the report, the newspaper asked readers to write in with their responses after Maradona, 47, expressed a desire to meet the Iranian leader, and declared himself a supporter of the „Iranian people, with all my heart.“
    „I have already met [Venezualan President Hugo] Chavez and [Cuban dictator] Fidel [Castro]. Now I only have to meet your president. I want to meet Ahmadinejad, “ he told Iran’s top diplomat in Argentina, Mohsen Baharvand, in a video broadcast by local media on Monday.
    The former soccer star gave the diplomat a signed soccer shirt, after a game Saturday in the televised Showbol tournament of mini-matches.
    Maradona is an admirer of Castro and he said this month he wanted a tattoo of Chavez.

  6. EUROSPORT Neururer Trainerkandidat für Irans Nationalteam
    Teheran (dpa) – Peter Neururer ist einer der Kandidaten für das Amt des iranischen Fußballnationaltrainer s.
    Der kommissarische Leiter des iranischen Fußball-Verbandes FFI sagte im iranischen Fernsehen, Neururer gehöre zur engeren Auswahl und sei sogar bereit sei, für weitere Verhandlungen nach Teheran zu kommen. Laut Mohsen Safei-Farahani stehen außer dem ehemaligen Bundesligatrainer auch der Franzose Jacques Santini und der Portugiese Artur Jorge zur Debatte. Die Verhandlungen mit Winfried Schäfer für den Job haben offenbar zu keinem Ergebnis geführt.
    Iran ist die einzige Mannschaft in Asien, die noch keinen Nationaltrainer hat, obwohl im nächsten Monat bereits das erste WM-Qualifikationssp iel gegen Syrien ansteht. Grund dafür sind Querelen mit der FIFA, die jegliche politische Einmischung in die Fußballangelegenheiten des Landes verbietet. Im Iran ist der Leiter der Sportorganisation auch gleichzeitig Vizepräsident.

  11. Tribune Experts: Strike against Iran a last resort for Israel
    By Joel Greenberg | Tribune foreign correspondent
    JERUSALEM – Israel’s freedom of action to strike at Iran’s nuclear program has been curtailed after a recent American intelligence assessment that Tehran stopped its work on nuclear weapons, but force remains an option of last resort should Israel eventually conclude that the weapons threshold is about to be crossed, according to Israeli experts and former intelligence officials.
    The U.S. National Intelligence Estimate released earlier this month, which judged „with high confidence“ that Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003, has been met with skepticism among Israeli officials and experts, who say there are ample grounds to conclude that covert nuclear weapons development continues.
    Aharon Zeevi Farkash, who was chief of Israeli military intelligence from 2001 to early 2006, said in an interview that continued uranium enrichment by Iran, acknowledged in the NIE, along with Tehran’s development of long-range ballistic missiles, is a strong indicator that it is still working to acquire nuclear weapons.
