Star of David sits on roof of Tehran airport main terminal.
“The six-pointed star was discovered by an eagle-eyed Google Earth user recently, over three decades after the building that houses the national airline of the Islamic Republic was constructed by Israeli engineers.
“Israel and the Shah’s Iran maintained good ties until the Islamic Revolution of 1979 ended the relationship. Before 1979, Israel brokered arms deals with Iran, and there were regular flights between Teheran and Tel Aviv.
“Once the existence of the Star of David was reported in Iranian media, government officials called for the immediate removal of the apparently offensive Jewish symbol.
“The discovery of the symbol came three months after the Iranian public learned of the existence of a Star of David on the roof of a building in Teheran’s Revolution Square.”
From jammiewearingfool.
The ultimate prank or a trick of the light?
(I don’t think it’s lights and shadows.)

ReplyDeleteBack in the 1980s a USAF hangar had in big Cyrillic letters” RUSSIA SUCKS!” for Soviet satellites. Then somebody in charge had the message painted over. All for diplomatic niceties, don’t you know.
