The first Jewish State.
Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen discusses the Soviet effort, in 1929, to create an autonomous Jewish state in the country's far eastern region. Gessen is the author of Where The Jews Aren't. Listen to Terry Gross for her interview about Birobidjan, or what was supposed to be the first Jewish State long before creation of Israel in the Middleast.

Where do you see women's names in Iran?
یک متن زیبای فارسی بخوانید:
سئوال کردند که آیا دریا زن است یا مرد؟!
این چه سئوالیه!؟
دریا اسم دختره ..
آیاتوجه کردید !

وقتی که به بالا نگاه میکنیم
آسمان ، خورشید ، ستاره ، ناهید ، زهره ، مهتاب ، باران ، به نام. خانمهاست

به دریا نگاه میکنیم
مروارید ، صدف ، موج ، پری ،
به نام خانومهاست . !

به باغچه نگاه میکنیم
شبنم ، مریم ، نسترن ، رز ، ، نرگس ، یاس ، نیلوفر ، لاله ،
به نام خانمهاست .

به دشت نگاه میکنیم
آهو ، غزال ، گلشن ، کژال به نام خانمهاست .

به دل کوه نگاه میکنیم
طلا ، نقره، الماس ، یاقوت ،
به نام خانمهاست .

به تن نگاه میکنیم
نفس، جان ، گیسو، کمند ، تن ناز ، ماه رو
به نام خانمهاست .

دیگر سئوالی ندارم .
این چه ابهت وحکمتی
است که خودکلمه
،، دنیا،،
هم به نام خانمهاست .

تقدیم به مهر بانوی ایران زمین

امروز سالگرد نامگذاری کشور عزیزمان
"ایران" است
حتی نام،، ایران،، هم
مختص خانمهاست

در سال ۱۳۱۴ شمسی طبق بخشنامه وزارت امور خارجه و تقاضای دولت وقت؛ و تصویب مجلس شورای ملی،
نام رسمی “ایران”
(به جای پارس و پرشیا) برای کشور ما انتخاب شد .
نامی که امروز ایران گفته میشود، بیش از ۶۰۰ سال پیش "اِران" تلفظ میشد .
زنده یاد سعید نفیسی نویسنده و محقق نامی ایرانی در دی ماه ۱۳۱۳ نام "ایران" را به جای "پرشیا" پیشنهاد کرده بود .
واژه ی "ایران" بسیار کهن و پیش از آمدن آریایی ها به سرزمین مان اطلاق میشد و نامی تازه و ساخته و پرداخته‌ای نیست ...
واژه " ایران" از دو بخش درست شده است:
بخش اول " ایر "
به معنی اصیل، نجیب ، آزاده و شریف است ؛ ‌بخش دوم به معنی سرزمین، جا و مکان است .
معنی کلی واژه ایران، “سرزمین آزادگان و نجیب زادگان" میباشد .
مرا شادی از نام ایران بود
دلم پر ز یاد نیاکان بود
ز ایران جهان پیش من گلشن است ...
همیشه ز یادش دلم روشن است .

What is Caricalemator?
کاریکلماتور:
کاریکلماتور کلمه‌ای ترکیب یافته از کاریکاتور و کلمه است که شاملو این نام را برای اولین بار بر برخی از نوشته‌های پرویز شاپور نهاد.
نمونه‌هایی از کاریکلماتورهایش:
برای اینکه پشه‌ها کاملاً ناامید نشوند، دستم را از پشه‌بند بیرون می‌گذارم.
اگر بخواهم پرنده را محبوس کنم، قفسی به‌بزرگی آسمان می‌سازم.
دلم به‌حال ماهی‌ها می‌سوزد، چون هیچ‌کس اشکشان را نمی‌فهمد.
وقتی عکس گل‌محمدی در آب افتاد، ماهی‌ها صلوات فرستادند.
گربه بیش از دیگران در فکر آزادی پرنده محبوس است.
به یاد ندارم نابینایی به‌من تنه زده باشد.
هر درخت پیر، صندلی جوانی می‌تواند باشد.
به عقیده گیوتین، سر آدم زیادی است.
روی همرفته زن و شوهر مهربانی هستند!
غم، کلکسیون خنده‌ام را به‌سرقت برد.
بلبل مرتاض، روی گل خاردار می‌نشیند!
قطره باران، اقیانوس کوچکی است.
قلبم پرجمعیت‌ترین شهر دنیاست.
به‌نگاهم خوش آمدی.
پایین آمدن درخت از گربه.
زندگی بدون آب از گلوی ماهی پایین نمی‌رود.
جارو، شکم خالی سطل زباله را پر می‌کند.
فواره و قوه جاذبه از سربه‌سر گذاشتن هم سیر نمی‌شوند.
باغبان وقتی دید باران قبول زحمت کرده، به آبپاش مرخصی داد.
فاصله بین دوباران را سکوت ناودان پر می‌کند.
فریاد زندگی در سکوت گورستان ته‌نشین می‌شود.
همه مردم جهان به یک زبان سکوت می‌کنند.
زبان هم فیلتر دارد.

تمام نهضت هایی که در قرن بیستم به پیروزی رسیده اندبر مبنای تشکل جمعیت‌ها و گروه‌های گوناگون حق طلب در یک جبهه مشترک تکوین یافته ا‌ند. لازمه وجود جبهه آن است که هر یک از اعضای جبهه ضمن اجرای sho
عار‌های مشترک و تعقیب هدف مشترک سیاسی، موجودیت فکری و
فرهنگی خود را حفظ کند؛ نه اینکه همه اعضا در یک ایدئولوژی حل شوند.

Thanks to Iman Houschmand organizing Solidarity protest in Downtown Miami.

In support of the uprising in Iran!
On September 13th, the morality police in Iran, consistent with their decades of tyrannical ruling of the Mullahs, killed another young woman, Mahsa, for her of un-Islamic head cover. The incident set off nationwide protests throughout Iran which continue to this day. For more than 2 weeks, the world has heard the voice of Iranian women and men throughout the nation. The voices of Kurdistan, Lorestan, Iranian Arabs, Azaries, Baluchis, and all Iranians rising in unison to show solidarity with their sister, Mahsa Amini (Zhina). Her killing has set off protests, thus far unprecedented, in 43 years of the Islamic Republic.
It has now become the objective of Iranians to bring down a regime owing its existence to relentless repression and theocratic Islamic ideology. Many organizations and groups abroad are voicing their opposition and are marching in solidarity with Iranians protesting in the streets of Iran endangering their own lives and their families. Iranians are adamant about ending the reign of this regime by any means possible.
Considering these brave protestors and their persistent street marches in Iran, we, the Iranian community in South Florida, and our organization, the Iranian Cultural Society of South Florida (ICS), stand in solidarity with the people of Iran. It is time to put an end to oppression and repression in Iran. Iranian women are fighting to gain their liberation, and now everyone in Iran is inspired to live in a democratic society where there is a separation of religion and state, where men and women can make their own political, economic, religious, and social decisions. People’s uncompromising protests against extant patriarchal institutions is coming closer to putting an end to the Mullahs’ rule in Iran.
