The mullahs got it wrong

In the age of photoshopping and media mayhem, this particular story from the hilariously satirical website The Peoples' Cube, shows that even those who are trying to spin things their way (read: iranian mullahs who tried "to illustrate a 'true' statement that Jews are welcome in Iran and that Western reports about mass emigration of Iranian Jews are 'lies spread by the Zionist hegemony.'"

From The Peoples' Cube:

The spoof image in question first appeared in 2005, in our parody called Israel Dismantles; World's Problems End, which revealed the absurdity of demands to dismantle Israel, with various nations, including Iran and Germany, celebrating the return of their long-missed Jews.

It gets better. Our Iranian friends tell us that the original Farsi-language placard says "Nuclear power is our absolute right," which means that you, dear Mullahs, used that image as a propaganda tool to advance your nuclear program - so you could threaten and maybe even annihilate the Jews in Israel. In our spoof, we changed the message of the placard to the complete opposite, making it appear improbable. To be fair, your story about Iran's love for the Jews was just as improbable, so it would seem only logical to put them together. It would, we repeat - if your goal were to publish a self-parody. That wasn't your intention, however. You only did it because you didn't know better.

Let's call it self-inflicted poetic justice.
