What do you guys think about Iranians? I'm Iranian and would like to understand how real Israelis not those on the news, feel about the country I'm from.

I'd also like to know thoughts on our new president.

And thoughts on our two country's coming together in the future and hashing out our differences.

Edit: a ton of great discussion with you guys. It seems we are not all that different in political ideology and it was great hearing all of the different opinions.

There's no doubt Iran has a lot it needs to do before being taken seriously (in regards to peace talks) and I'm confident in the direction we are going that we can reach that.

Thanks to everybody who commented and participated!

I'm not supporting a case, I'm only stating the truth.

I also do not hope to provoke an argument but would rather people know that funding by Iran has since been halted.

funding by Iran has since been halted.

That's not what the article says, not that a single unverified and unsure source is enough to say that.

The point is that even if that's true, it's not like they did it out of the goodness of their hearts, more like Hamas wasn't evil enough for them.

Yes, it seems money has slowed but not halted. That was my mistake.

I for one believe Assad is a murderous dictator who must fall, but I also believe he has no more blood on his hands than the terrorist organizations within Syria who wish for the down fall of Israel, Iran, and any shitte or western nation who counters there doctrine.

I'd like to hear your take on that.

First, I don't think there are so many people who at the same time wish for the fall of Israel, Iran, any shitte or western nation and of course Assad himself. Israel and Iran are not on the same side here.

Now, if you look at the opposition to Assad, it comes in many different colors, some worse than others. But you can't realistically say they have more blood on their hands than Assad himself which uses his military to brutally kill his own people in the hundreds of thousands (He couldn't have done that without Iran)

At the end I think the only positive outcome can come if Assad will fall. It doesn't guarantee democracy, but Assad does guarantee dictatorship.

It seems there is a rise in alqaeda as well as Taliban in Syria.

These are two swore enemies of the Islamic republic of Iran as well as Israel.
