Conspiracy theories about one's enemies are probably one of the few outlets for creativity in the Islamic Republic of Iran. From Iran Focus:
TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran has launched a major campaign urging consumers to stop buying "Zionist" products, ranging from Coca-Cola and Pepsi soft drinks, to Calvin Klein clothing and Nestle food products.
"Pepsi stands for 'Pay Each Penny to Save Israel", viewers in the Islamic republic have been warned in an oft-repeated three-minute infomercial on state television, prompted by Israel's ongoing assault against the Palestinian territories and Lebanon.
"Zionists are the biggest shareholders in the soft drinks industry, and each year they make billions of dollars for their colonialist aims," consumers with a thirst for fizz have been told.
Coca-Cola is also not left unscathed by the new twist to the cola wars.
"This firm openly supports Israel and has even said that it is ready to allocate great deal of money to topple the Islamic republic," state television said.
Both Pepsi and Coca-Cola have factories in Iran, although state television gave no indication over whether their operations would be affected.
A popular British high-street retailer, as well as a number of multinational firms, were also singled out for their links to the alleged international Jewish conspiracy to control the world.
"Marks and Spencer has very close relations with the Israeli regime and one its primary aims is to help the development of the Israeli economy," the infomercial claimed.
Who's Marks, and where's my employee discount?
"Nestle is a Swiss food processing firm which in 2000 announced that it will invest millions of dollars in Israel to build a factory there," it added, while neglecting to mention that Nestle also has a factory in Iran.
The world's largest chip maker Intel was also branded as "one of Israel's biggest supporters".
How about that Mike Hawash?
"Its first overseas branch was set up in Haifa in 1974. In 2000 it employed more that 4,000 Israelis. Its top managers have said that they are going to invest 6.5 billion dollars in Israel," would-be Intel customers have been told.
"McDonalds, Timberland, Revlon, Garnier, Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and L'Oreal are only some of the firms which belong to the Zionist regime," state television said, before taking a swipe at what it said were less vigilant Arab nations.
Marks and Spencer-
"Marks & Spencer started in 1884 as a stall in an open market in Leeds, Yorkshire. Then known as Marks' Penny Bazaar, it was the household goods, haberdashery, toy, and sheet-music business of Michael Marks, a Jewish refugee from Poland"
There you go then. Obviously, being Jewish, his stores to this day are only a front for funding and supplying the Zionist regime with this years new look lingerie. Once they revamped their range from the dowdy to the sexy, they should have known they were going to be rumbled.
"Pepsi stands for 'Pay Each Penny to Save Israel"
LOL! Man, those wacky Iranian mullahs will make anything up, no matter how absurd. I prefer Coke, but if Pepsi really stood for that I'd have to consider a switch to Pepsi!
"The world's largest chip maker Intel was also branded as "one of Israel's biggest supporters"."
A nice, little EMP device would help erase all those EVIL Intel chips and aid their quest.
Darn, being a Pepsi drinker myself,it is looking like a conspiracy of the highest order. How did a thing like Pepsi get into Iran under the cover of darkness?
Madness!
Oh well....that's what these companies get for putting factories in Iran. Globalization sucks. Globalization is only beneficial for greedy corporations and their rich stockholders. meanwhile factories close in the US, Europe, etc. and people are put out of work.
They should close shop in Iran and bring the jobs back to the West where they belong. Anti-American Iranians? Kiss our cracks.
What are all the Pepsi and Coca-cola delivery drivers going to do? I guess they have to turn their truck keys for an AK-47 and go to Lebanon.
Hmmm. McDonalds, Timberland, Revlon, Garnier, Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Nestle, Pepsi, Coke, Calvin Klein and L'Oreal.
Thanks, Islam, for taking the trouble to provide me with my new brand-preference list. I'll add those to Calsberg, Havarti, etc.
McDonalds is code for..
Muslums Can Decide On Needed Assaults, Lies, Death's Squads.
Down with Peptsi !
EEWWW. Camel milk and Nestle Quick.
How long did it take for them to come up with that? 3 months? I'm suprised they didn't wait until A-day (august 22) to tell the world that.
Thanks, Islam, for taking the trouble to provide me with my new brand-preference list. I'll add those to Calsberg, Havarti, etc.
Fighting capitalism just breeds more capitalism. It's a lost cause. Moslems, submit!
Heh, they are only doing themselves harm by scaring away investment. I can not wait to see what will happen to Iran when the oil tap dries out. Hopefully we will not need to wait that long. If people push for alternative fuels then Iran will fall sooner.
I have to say it...THOSE LITTLE BRAINS!!
Instead of shareholders buying new cars, homes, vacations, more stock.......they're buying weapons. R-I-G-H-T
I would think if they got rid of all their Zionist products they really would go back to the 7th century. No plastic, no cell phones, no computers. They would be sitting in their tents snuggling up with their goats thinking it probably wasn't a good idea.
I suggest we make Iran the pyschotic ward of the insane asylum and build a giant fence and throw the muslims in it. Without ANY Zionist products, cokes or designer clothes.
Just their goats.
Everything that comes out of Iran just proves the mullahs need to go for the world to move on. I mean come on now...a religious state that isn't free is a disgrace.
Most of the people in iran are younger than 25, they drink the Pepsi and Cokes not the old warnout mullahs. Keep taking the kids toys and they will act out. The mullahs have always been stupid. We need to find out what other western goods we can get banned until the kids wipe out these clowns and take back the playstations, Tv's and sodas.
This above article proves that the mullahs are fighting a losing war with globalization. Give it up, mullahs, you lost this war. Most of the people who live in Iran are under 35 and will not take to kindly to your crazy nonsense.
Hmmm...I wonder if Hamas is a zionist front operation of Israeli domination and expansion?
Maybe Iran should boycott them too?
Every time I see a list of products which are to be avoided because they support Israel means that it immediately goes in my shopping trolley!
As for Marks and Sparks, Muslims don't seem to be boycotting them that much, they are usually out in force in the shop, perhaps they prefer quality goods over camel urine and halal E-Coli cultures!
Am I back in junior high? This boycott sounds so juvenille. Oh -- and I thought that Iran wasn't "involved" in this war.
I wonder that they missed a much bigger item than Marks and Spencer's. Tesco, the giant retailer, which controls one seventh of the whole British market in everything, is not only Jewish-originated - the "Co" in it stands for "Cohen", one of the founders - but, unlike M&S, still part-owned by its founding dynasties. And again unlike M&S, it is successful acroass a number of different countries and growing all the time. Ah, well, I am glad not to have been given a reason to shop there.
Wasnt't the nuclear bomb mostly (or at least partly) developed by Jews? Maybe someone should tell the iranins.
george_rem, I think hummus pre-dates Mo.
Great post Ronin.
The Madman from Iran and all his mullahs cannot contain the younger generation of Persians who are hip to the Freedom the West provides. The more repression, the bigger the stick of dynamite grows beneath the botocks of these oppressors. That's why the madman wants to suck is into a war, his only chance of unifying the country. Let him stew in his own brew and the impoternt mullahs that support him. The real roots of Freedom lie Iran.
I see the same thing in Afghanistan. The puppet government set up by the United States made up of Northern alliance tyrants are not the true voices of secular freedom that is crying out there. This regime is not much different from the Taliban but any little space that allows the real voices of freedom to ring out in Afghanistan is good. These are the Afghans and Persians that are brother and sisters to us in this struggle against Islamic totalitarianism.
Ooops. I meant the mullahs were impotent and not important.
Concerning Nestle. Lebanon initially passed on an Arab boycott of their products, but may rethink that policy now. See below:

where's my employee discount?
When the chain was in it's heyday the staff conditions used to be very good, so good that my Mother dreamed that I would work there, as they only employed the cream.
The brand name for Marks and Spencer (I still call them Marks and Sparks, and not the twee yuppie M&S) is St Michael, and there was a time when any visitor to Egypt was advised to cut the St Michael label out of her vests as customs inspectors were likely to confiscate the garment or refuse entry.
And I believe that Yvonne Ridley's career at Al Jazeera was cut so short because she grassed up her boss for shopping at Marks and Spencer.

"Pepsi stands for 'Pay Each Penny to Save Israel"..
Save Israel from what?
I heard some Lebanese man crying on TV last night claiming Israel was murdering civilians, so it appears that the inferior Moslems need to be saved from Israel, not Israel from them.
Wonder what Mike Hawash thought about Intel having a fab(s?) in Israel? In any case, for architecturally aesthetic reasons, I've always been an Intel basher - first, a shill for RISC, and now a shill for Athlon. AMD doesn't have any fabs in Israel, but I believe Spansion (AMD's flash spinoff) does work with Saifun. Iran should boycott both, and use maybe computers from Atari or Amiga - I have no idea whether the late Jay Miner was Jewish.
However, I'm glad that they spelt out which companies are Zionist, since there's no way any of us would have figured that out on our own. Too bad I don't normally buy from the above companies - always preferred coke to pepsi, BK/Wendys to McDonalds. I'm willing to alter my habits, but you Zionists have to promise me you will conquer and dominate the world. A few inches of South Lebanon or Gaza just doesn't cut it for me when it comes to making such lifestyle altering decisions.
Marks & Spencer? Of course, that means that Robert Spencer al Shaytani is involved in its operation (just as Bob Dole was involved with the Dole fruit company, according to Turkish activists in 1996), and therefore, the company must be boycotted. Does Pantaloons - the other British retail outlet - have Zionist connections as well? They are wildly popular in India, and nothing would be more satisfying than Zionists getting a good share of that billion strong market.
Can Iran give us the comprehensive list? I can't shop at Revlon for obvious reasons, but I'll do what I can to enable world Zionist domination.
I think I had two postings disappear, If they were deleted because of a violation, some feedback would be appreciated. I do not want to lose the privilege of commenting.
Iran TV urges boycott of 'Zionist' products
Better get ready to do without vaccines and medical care then.
I don't want to spoil all the "boycott zionists" momentum but many members of the Saudi Royal family get their medical care from American physicians (in America) and many of them are..cough..cough..ah..JEWS! Actually, as we all know, Jews are helping to develope many of the medical advances that make our lives easier and longer. Conspicuous by their absence are the scientists from islamic countries who seem to be spending any science talents they may possess developing electrical circuits attached to RDX.
Pelayo--
The postings that were deleted contained a slur (the one that starts with an "M") that it is our policy to delete.

Oh, what a wonderful article.
Who said Islam forbids laughter? Oh dear, I wept at this article.
And you can just imagine the good folks in Iran really REALLY believing it all. And they're thinking, "Oh, we're onto you Zionists now. You can't fool us".
New product flash:::: kamelcola 1 sip and you can go for weeks without another
But will RC Cola seize this opportunity?
They could just say the "RC" stands for "Restored Caliphate."
The one that begins with an "M."
Muslim?
That is definitely a terrible thing to call someone.
Boycotting, that’s the last refuge of Islamists, I can’t wait for the point in time when the world doesn’t need oil anymore! And most likely this new technology will be invented by the Israelis—talk about the irony. Since 1967 (The Six Day War) when Israel refused to give up its very existence and even gained more territory (Gaza strip, West Bank, The Golan Heights and the Sinai Desert), the Arabs only weapon was to boycott Israel (everything Israeli). Then when Israel further defended itself in 1973 (The Yom Kippur War) and once again refused to die, OPEC decided on restricting oil to the Western nations (known as the energy crisis). Since then left wing nut jobs have jumped on the Divestment program which was in fact started by HAMAS.
It’s absolutely sickening to look at how the Arab and Islamic world behaves towards Jews! Arabs have all the landmass and all the oil but it’s still not enough not even nearly enough because according Muhammad, Jews are pigs, liars and pray to the devil! Not only that but according to Muhammad, Judgement Day won’t happen until every Jew is dead! When the Muslims fight the Jews even nature will conspire against the Jews, trees and rocks will gain the power of speech. Nature itself will call out to Muslims and tell them that there are Jews hiding behind a rock or a tree. Nature itself will hate the Jewish race so much that it will suddenly come alive in order to yell out to Muslims that there is a Jew hiding behind me, please O faithful servant of Muhammad kill this Jew! Now you tell me are the Jews praying to Satan or is it the Devil that tricked Muhammad into believing that it was God? Why would God free the Jews from bondage from Egypt, give them laws to live by, guide them to the Land of Canaan only to want them to convert to Islam thousands of years later? It sounds to me like it’s the Devil that wants the Jews to leave their religion, renounce the Laws that Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai and bow down to him! After all, thou shall have no other gods beside Me! That also means no idol worshipping as well as not bowing down nor serving any idols (that resemble any likeness of or use any material from: the heavens, what’s under the water or what’s beneath the earth)! Muhammad wants his followers to pray (bow down five times a day) to a piece of space rock (The Black Stone) that is housed in a tent (Kaaba) in Mecca! What the hell does that have to do with anything but Muhammad said that his knowledge is the truth, whereas The Jews and Christians have the corrupted and misinterpreted knowledge of God.
There’s absolutely no way that God and Allah is the same Divine creator unless this entity is schizophrenic! First he loves the Jews and gives them freedom, laws to live by and a land to live in. Then he hates them and wants them dead unless they become Muslim, forget everything they know, renounce their claim to the Land of Canaan and pray (by bowing down) to a piece of space rock five times a day! I’m sorry but the two entities are either competing forces or otherwise God has multiple personalities and is schizoid! If the two (God and Allah) are separate entities that means that the real Satan worshippers are Muslims. Thus any person and nation(s) on earth that supports Jew bashing, Israel divestment schemes or worse (supports Islamic terrorists in their bid to destroy Israel), are the ones who are the true supporters of Satan!
Think about it.
Top Ten Islamic products the West should boycott:
10. Camel urine sports drinks
9. Burkas R Us
8. Semtex heeled shoes
7. Wrinkle-free turban wrap
6. Beating sticks for unruly wives
5. Pre-teen wedding gowns
4. "Mother Knows Best" Clitorectomy kits
3. Infidel throat-slashing scimitars
2. Suicide Bomb belts
and finally...
1. The Qur'an
El Cid 91 and Pelayo, Enrico Fermi and almost the whole of his Via Panisperna Group were Jewish. Fermi was driven from Italy by the shameful race laws of 1938, long after he had become illustrious across the world and covered Italy with glory - the genuine kind, not the Mussolini kind. As a result, he went to America and built the first nuclear reactor in history, without which the atom bomb could never have been developed.
That is not the only obscene result of the appalling laws of 1938. From 1860 onwards, Italy had produced a whole line of outstanding mathematicians, many of them Jews. The last of these, Tullio Levi Civita, already old and loaded with the admiration of the whole mathematical world, was suddenly expelled from all his posts, robbed of his pension and endowments, and died in abject poverty in Turin in 1941. That is how Jew-hating rewards greatness.
I think you will find that Femi wasn't Jewish, his wife certainly was and this is the reason he fled to the U.S.A. Einstein never worked on the the bomb but was instrumental in bringing the possibility of a nuclear bomb and it consequences, to the attention of Roosevelt, by sending a letter at the instigation of Leo Slizard and Wigner. Here by the way are three other Jewish scientists that did work on the project Richard Feynman, I.I. Rabi and Victor Weisskopf.

The current King of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud, imports his American doctors and pays them quite well, I know one of them personally, although he is not Jewish, he is an infidel nonetheless, which leads me to conclude, Abdullah is not as dumb as he looks.
I'm really interested in knowing examples of real products/inventions etc (apart from oil) that have come out of the arab world in the last 100years? anybody!
