Zionist’s (Tasty) Chocolate
Kamangir | February 12, 2007 | Category Iran
Basij members protested in front of Nestle branch in Tehran. The text reads “Nestle Chocolate, Zionists’ Bullets”. I’m wondering if the kid hates the “bullets” that much.
More pictures,
“To save Al-Aqsa Mosque, we do not eat Nestle”. Can you imagine someone really saying that aloud as if they mean it? I bet they have told the kid, come for an hour and we will give you a Nestle. I am sure he thinks this is a Nestle commercial.

What about Saving Pasargad?
Ina,
You mean why I did not talk about that? Well, I am not sure building a new Pasargad is anything harder than building a new mindset.
Ina,
And I respect your point of view, anyway.
Anyone with any engineering experience would know that there is no way that a walkway being repaired/replaced hundreds of feet from a building would cause structural damage to the building. It’s just another excuse to whine like little children. The world is catching on to the act.
More likely, the Iranian leadership feels they can no longer afford to import “luxury” items like chocolate so they create a crisis and point their fingers at the Jews. I am not Jewish, by the way, just tired of the whining against them. Maybe my religion is next?
Did you hear that the bombs in Iraq were made in USA(that was a typo, it shouls be Iran)?
See? It should, not shouls!
Just help me out: What could be the possible connection between Nestle and Al Aqsa? Last time I checked it was still a Swiss based international company and not in Jewish or Israeli hands?!
Oh I see, Nestle has operations in Israel. Did nobody explain to these Students that the food industry of Israel is nothing much to boast about but the hi-tec industry is? Why Intel is just expanding their plants in the South. They better start boykotting computers because after all there might be Zionist made Intel inside!
[...] hat Bilder von einer Demonstration in Teheran, wo Nestle mit Boykott gedroht wird wegen der Bauarbeiten in Jerusalem. Meine Jahre im Nahen Osten haben meinen Spuersinn fuer [...]
I think Ina was responding the “To save Al-Aqsa” part of the banner. I don’t know what you exactly mean by HARD but having any thing similar to Pasargad at least needs 2600 years of time. Are you going to work so long to build a new mindset?! ;)
Shimbalkhaan,
I see. :)
oh! give me a break! they have been eating it for the last 30 years, now all of sudden, they are bad for you. They should be thankful that no one has been poisoned by the Israeli agents of Nestlé..
Freida,
Maybe many people have been poisoned… Have you ever heard of Khamenei’s sophisticated theory on “cultural invasion”?
Dear Kamangir: I didn’t mean why you didn’t talk about Pasargad…you’re not obligated to anyone to say or do anything you don’t want…I was only wondering if these simpletons knew about Pasargad let alone saving it. Sorry, if I wasn’t clear.
Beer7: LOL, you’re right even the cell phone was invented in Israel…they should all be banned according to their logic…haha
Ina,
You are right. Sorry. :)
Ina and Beer7,
Don’t touch your Zionist keyboard, either!
Now, that’s funny,”zionist keyboard”. Good one.
BeerT no other country can produce Bamba like Israel. Don’t be so disdainful about our food-industry huh :D
Tsedek,
I am aware that for most Israelis Bamba is the taste of childhood. It isn’t for me, I was raised in Switzerland and davka Nestle is a call much closer to home.
Tsedek
I did not know what Bamba is (perhaps Iranians also do not know that) , but everybody know what Nestle chocolate is.
Hmm………after long cogitating I think I know the reason why IRI wants to boycott Nestle chocolate …….. they want Iranians to have a better teeth.
The chocolate is the real reason for the boycott, banning all other Nestle products is just a smokescreen. :-)
Tsedek, Beer7, and Ella,
Now that you are showing off stuff you know, and I don’t, I should remind you all that none of you has ever eaten “Keik Yazdi”. Let me know if you can figure out what that is. ;)
it is a sort of cupcake and this is one of the recipes:
http://recipes.chef2chef.net/recipe-archive/08/052205.shtml
Title: Yazdi Cupcakes
Yield: 1 Servings
Ingredients
2 c flour; sifted
1 ts baking powder
4 eggs; at room temperature
1 c sugar
1 c butter; melted
1 c plain yogurt
1 ts ground cardamom
1 tb on; rose water
Sounds very tasty and I can get the ingredients locally without any problem. I could prepare this as dessert for Shabbat eve (but only if the main dish is fish, because of the milk/meat interdiction)
don’t you ever sleep Kamangir?
Hehehe. Good post, Kamangir.
There is something at once hope-inspiring and sinister in seeing children at political rallies.
But do you really suggest a ‘Come on, Nestle tastes great!’ counter-campaign?
Beer7,
I officially surrender! :)
And yes my wife asks the same question every day.
zaratzara,
I suggest giving a chocolate bar to each one of these angry guys, and two to the kid. :)

Kamangir, I’ve eaten so many Iranian snacks and dishes - and I don’t know the name of them (because I’m told and I forget *blush* ) but my neighbor is Iranian (left in 1989) so…. don’t bluff LOL.
Great post, really sublime.
I wonder if the Basij protested when the Saudis bulldozed the Prophets house to build a parking lot.

Jews drink water and urinate. The water in the urine enters the environment, evaporates, becomes clouds, rains down on the land, and forms into streams and lakes and such. Therefore it is entirely possible that Muslims are drinking water, which once was from the urine of Jews. It might be best if Muslims cease drinking water or washing, cooking with water or anything containing water, including eating vegetables and animals. I won’t get into heavy water and nuclear technology.
SC&A,
Once they tried to occupy the holy city, over twenty years ago.
SC&A,
I mean the Islamic Republic did.
Paul from Florida,
Excuse me?
What was the protest about? The screen just shows pictures and no article. Are they going to tear something town?
Sorry, I meant down.
