Iranian TV Documentary: Where Have the Zionists Come From?

Following are excerpts from an Iranian TV documentary on the origins of Zionism, which aired on the Iranian News Channel on May 13, 2007:

Voice: Where did the Zionists come from?

The Germans claimed that they were the supreme race. The Italians, because of their Roman past, considered themselves the supreme race. The Greeks too were absorbed in their past. The Serbs, with their racism, sparked World War I in Montenegro. The extremist Jews also claimed that they were a supreme race chosen by God. Each of these peoples had its own piece of land, on which they could say their people had prospered, except for the extremist Jews, who were a minority among the races, and had no choice but to claim that their piece of land was in the East.

An interesting point is that first of all, the original inhabitants of Palestine are the Canaanites, the forefathers of the Palestinians, and the name "Palestinian" is synonymous with "Canaanite." Second, the Jews were the tribes that migrated from Egypt to the Land of Canaan, or Palestine. Then they lived alongside this people. Third, as generally happens, the peoples mixed over the years, especially because two great religious revolutions took place in Canaan, or Palestine. The first was Christianity, and the second was Islam. How is it that although all the peoples in Palestine converted to Christianity, and later to Islam, the Jews were the only ones who were not affected by these changes, which encompassed all levels of society?

What the Zionists present as proof is more of a joke than evidence. They refer to a forced exile of Jews from the Land of Canaan, which took place more than 3,000 years ago. In history, however, this event is only mentioned in a very vague manner, and only on the basis of Jewish sources.

[...]

Moreover, not all the Jews were exiled by Nebuchadnezzar. Second, their forced deportation was due to the protests of the Canaanites - the true owners of Palestine. Third, all the important religious, political, and, social changes, such as the advent of Christianity and Islam, took place 500 to 1000 years after this event.

[...]

The evidence indicates that the Jews did not emigrate to the West, and that Western Ashkenazi Jews are the descendents of people who converted to Judaism, such as the Khazars, who lived in the Caucus and in Eastern Europe. Only the Sephardi, or Eastern Jews, who lived in Iran and the Arab countries, could claim that there was a time when they had actually lived in Palestine.
