PRO-ISRAEL NEWSPAPER IN IRAN HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN IN IRAN

I didn't think it was possible to find a pro-Israeli paper in Iran, but until now, there was one. Now, sadly, it's been shut down by Ahmedinejad's dictatorship:
(IsraelNN.com) The director-general of domestic media at Iran’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance announced Wednesday that the Karjozaran newspaper was shut down for portraying the State of Israel positively.
And at the end of the article, there's something that's disturbing but unsurprising:
According to Jewish Agency spokesman Michael Jankelovitz, Iranian Jews live from day to day in mortal danger. As were the Jews in Nazi Germany and the former Soviet Union, they are forbidden to learn Hebrew or freely practice their faith. Jewish children are required to attend the state schools on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays, and all Jewish day schools have been closed down.
And since Barack Obama is unlikely to take action against Iran when he becomes president, there's no telling how those left in Iran can be saved.
