Ahmadinejad and his antisemitic cronies are fuming with anger after discovering the Star of David on the roof of Iran Air headquarters at Tehran's airport. The building was originally built by Israeli engineers prior to the the Islamic Revolution.

Nobody noticed the Jewish symbol until someone found it in Google Maps. The building—which hosts their national airline at the Mehrabad International Airport—was built by Israeli engineers before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The star has been hidden in plain sight for more than four decades now.

It won't stay there for much longer. According to The Jerusalem Post, Iranian government officials have already ordered its destruction.


Am I the only one who thinks this is funny as hell?

Anybody who f***s their goats and covers their women in black bedsheets doesn't have a sense of humor.
I, on the other hand, think it's a riot.  :D

I wonder if they intend to destroy the Star of David, or the entire building.  Perhaps once the symbol is removed, the building will  become a legitimate target for the I.D.F. when the inevitable war starts.

Ya know, the reason those camel jockeys wear sheets is 'cause the sound of a zipper will spook a sheep for a five-mile radius. 

David's Star on the top of Tehran airport???  Now that's giggle 'til yer ribs hurt funny! ;D

I was just going by what they said. BEFORE the 1979 revolution. Years before? Maybe they meant 30+. Who knows.

Along the same lines, the barracks at Naval Station Coronado are in the shape of a swastika.  Up until Google Earth cam around no one knew anything about it.

BTW that's damn funny  ;D

The swastika was originally an American Indian symbol (and quite at home in Colorado) until Hitler used it and put a stigma on it.

FWIW

Even funnier is if the star wasn't intended but actually has some engineering reason for existing.  So when they tear it down, the building collapses or the A/C stops working or something.

Or an Israeli 2000 pounder removes it from the building.

um swasitaks are actually a simple that has been used for thousands of years all over the globe, all for good things.

it was not until the nazi came along that it became "bad"  .

Inteligent people understand that and just chuckled and pressed on.  The knuckle-tards in Coronado blew a freaking gasket and wanted the Navy to demolish and rebuild them.  Pretty sad for a place that only exists because of the bases and is populated by retired Captains and Admirals.

Are you kidding me, the damn thing has been an aiming point. Generations of IDF pilots have probably been betting on who could hit the center. ;D This story is one of the funniest things I've read in days. Kilroy was here indeed. ;D

Darn, now the Jews have to pick a new aiming point when they do our dirty work for us.
Again.  

TAB is right, Hitler got the idea to use it from a Nordic Good luck symbol he saw in the decorations of a Church.
That's why it was the National marking on their air craft in WWII.

Its actually a pretty tactical design for a military building as well. Lots of overlapping fields of fire and no blind spots. I doubt it will become trendy or anything, but still... ;D

Are we still discussing Swastika's, or Vaubun's  (damned French names ) Star forts ?
