Six days until E3, and counting...
As a senior writer here at NZGamer.com, I've had the privilege of being on the front line in the world of gaming. I've travelled to Hong Kong, Germany, Singapore, and the USA in recent years - all in order to play games and talk to the minds behind them. I'm living the dream.
This year marks my third consecutive trip over to Los Angeles for E3, and I'm more excited than a beaver in a lumberyard. It's the biggest event in gaming; and it shows. We're talking million dollar set-ups, choreographed press conferences, and after parties that would make even Lindsay Lohan nervous. But there are a few negative aspects of E3 that only us journalists witness - and I'd like to share those with you now...
Please sir... can I have a sandwich?
Because E3 is a non-stop, three-day megafest of videogaming awesomeness, there are a handful of eateries set-up around the LA Convention Centre for hungry journos. Convenient except for the fact that it doesn't appear to be 'human food' they have on offer. Either because they have a captive audience or because they assume that all videogamers have the culinary palette of a tapeworm, the 'food' they have on offer would give cockroaches paralysis.
There's nothing quite like paying $18 for a cold, soggy hot dog; or $26 for a Taco Surprise. You might think I meant to write 'Taco Supreme' there, but they don't try and make it sound appealing. The 'Surprise' part kicks in anywhere between 15 minutes and 3 hours after eating it.
I should point out that the organisers of E3 provide an alternative though. Hungry journalists who hole up in the Media Room, located within the bowels of the LA Convention Centre, can get treated to some tasty free lunch. Although this might actually be an urban myth, because this 'free lunch' appears at 12:00pm and vanishes again at around 12:02pm. It's like feeding time at the zoo. Never get between a starving game reviewer and a stale tuna sandwich. I'm grateful I still have all my limbs.
I would however like to thank all of the game publishers who have their own lunch and drink stash behind closed doors for VIP media. Without you guys, I would've faded away into nothingness somewhere behind Activision's stand back in 2010.
Where's the Rexona Booth?
It doesn't take a genius to understand that 50,000 geeks (90% of whom are male), a warm enclosed space, a few Taco Surprises, and hundreds of machines all pelting out hot air can make for a rather rank environment.
I'm not entirely sure why it should happen in this day and age of antiperspirant, but at E3 there are dudes walking around with visible stink lines wafting after them. Chances are, they'll be walking directly in front of you too, so you become trapped in this semi-opaque mist of death.
You'll end up twisting and contorting your body like a rubber ninja to avoid physical contact with them, but inevitably they'll rub against you as they make a mad scramble to eyeball some booth babes. Which brings me to my next rant...
I Think I've Fallen in Love (again)
Ahhh, booth babes. I know they have their purpose. I get it, I really do. I love a lass in skimpy fake armour, holding a giant cardboard axe and with that little glint in her eye that says 'I can't wait to get the f*%k out of here and have a shower'.
But please (guys) - can we have some dignity at these events? I know they're eye-candy to be looked at, but do we all need to act like braindead shlongs whenever one floats along? I've seen men crush smaller men in their demented, dribbling panic just to 'be near one'. Cameras flashing and mouths ajar. Rub one out in the morning in your hotel room so we can just ignore these marketing vixens okay? … That way I can make my move. She's mine, dammit!
Is this a t-shirt, or a tarpaulin for my car?
Free stuff is one of the perks of being a video game journalist and t-shirts are chucked around at E3 like fists in Chuck Norris' wet dreams. But for some reason, they only ever bother getting the one size manufactured; XL. Or perhaps XXXL. To me, they might as well be G, for Gargantuan or Godzilla size.
Usually they're big enough to fit two of me inside, with room for a gas heater so I can camp out-doors in one. Now that videogaming has become mainstream, surely all these stereotypes of gamers being overweight is an extremely dated one? This year can I get a Halo t-shirt that doesn't perform better as my table-cloth?
And lastly, can we please have no f*%king clowns at this years' E3!? As an avid sufferer of Coulrophobia (yes, the scientific term for a 'Fear of clowns') I have been tormented by these abominations of ancient comedy for the last three years.
Granted, the announcement and consequent release of Twisted Metal, which features a nightmarish clown thing, didn't help matters. But my editor still enjoys telling the story of how, after last year's E3 - I was ruthlessly stalked on a Hollywood subway train by some clown-hobo [To be fair, it was pretty funny - Ed.] This is the worst type of clown by the way; homeless, desperate, and possibly psychotic. This year I'm going armed with a cattle-prod and some decoy animal balloons just incase.

Restored the Lateran palace and many churches around Rome. Encourged the missionary work of Saint Boniface, and appointed Saint Abel as archbishop of Rheims, France.

On Capitol Hill Mike thanks for -- the lawyers went only criminal -- law professor -- element is with -- and criminal defense attorney.
Randy zealot I've -- Europe congress member this is the greatest thing ever to happen.
As you get to sit up there be furious over government waste is that they -- are wasting stuff every day but I suppose an example last beset criminal charges -- This is yet and it's it's great to be angry if you're a Republican.
And you have a democratic president.
My bone of contention -- -- can be angry about this topic.
-- members of congress need an issue where they can look tough and trying to do things for the people here we go whether it's the case or not is another matter it's all Washington put it right it's it's a matter of degree.
For example I would imagine the Republicans.
Are screaming it's corruption scandal.
Throw everybody out the government whereas the Democrats might be saying look we got a few bad apples guys.
Everybody calmed down we're going to take care but and that's where my that's my problem that.
You kid there is no objective.
Thing that this is wrong what is this is also the kind of thing that happens all the time and regular business or the timing is bad.
It's almost like -- some happy government employees and -- ensuring themselves -- digging their job it's the part it's the partisanship.
That I can't stand flip it around and tell me what they would do.
Well I think that all do the same thing but that's that's just me it just seems like members of congress it.
The eleven or 12% approval rating get to stand up -- -- against an agency and spend much money at I don't know if you're in that matter if you're an elf honor -- as you go get up there and make one -- -- Go check every taxpayer should be outraged by the citizen soldier has nothing to do with politics -- you have to go back and understand what -- -- -- about.
This is a independent government agency that is -- course reduction.
Cost saving agency.
And this is what it's doing -- life isn't -- -- that's why it's so outrageous so offensive now it's probably just touching the surface of government weeks that we have in all areas of government but that doesn't mean we look away.
When you have the head of this organization.
-- 95 dollars for hotel room and bill cost the taxpayers 1000 dollars that is criminal criminal charges should be brought -- these individual should be process.
It wouldn't surprise me if they bring criminal charges here to set an example when workers go astray it becomes such an enormous national issue why wouldn't you.
Because the difficulty is when you bring criminal charges to set an example.
Instead of bringing criminal charges.
Based upon being able to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Well no I economically and efficiently and just as you get louder and start talking fester doesn't mean the point is is leads us.
That what they did is wrong when you start if if it is true that they brought in non GSA employees and got him a room -- gonna have a great time and all that sort of thing.
That's illegal that's misuse of the public funds is that it isn't that is the law.
We have solution can you write on it this is absolutely criminal they have to bring charges it's not about setting an example it's not holding people I don't know I don't know why can't it be we can't be about both.
In these times.
It rarely should be about golf.
We're going to spend what how many more trillions of dollars to investigate these oh -- only because -- to investigate it and -- -- -- criminal charges and and then do what at the end I don't know maybe sick and maybe send a message to other government workers.
Who are using taxpayer money that you can't waste it.
You know what we're cutting back all over this nation as we have all kinds of problems.
An austerity measures may work against this in the long run but if you're a government agency stop wasting the public money.
That's all that's a pretty good message to sense that there's a fundamental assumption.
That people think.
Before they do things well they need to store Randy --

Posted by Karmel Melamed
Read a translation of this article in Farsi here
In Tehran last month, during a ceremony marking the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, Iran's current vice president, Mohammad-Reza Rahimi, launched an anti-Semitic tirade.
I am fluent in Farsi and understood 100 percent of what he said from watching his speech online. Rahimi blamed the spread of drugs on the teachings of the Talmud, claiming that "the Talmud teaches Jews how to destroy non-Jews and that 80 percent of America's wealth is in the hands of 6 percent of the world's Jewish population." Likewise, he blamed an unnamed Jewish gynecologist in America for once sterilizing 8,000 Native Americans, which he claimed was in accordance with the teachings of Talmud. At the same time, Rahimi went on to blame the Jews for a series of other world calamities, including the long laundry list that can, by and large, be found in the classic 1880s Russian anti-Semitic book "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." (By the way, the Farsi copies of "Protocols" have long been best-sellers in Iran, with more than 400 pages added to the original 1880s Russian version.)
While the international media surprisingly gave substantial coverage to this vile speech made by an Iranian government official, making headlines worldwide, I was frankly not surprised to hear these comments from Rahimi. The truth of the matter is that 99.9 percent of the Iranian regime's officials make such anti-Semitic comments regularly and believe every single word that comes out of their mouths in public. Yet, what should worry the Western world is the vile anti-Semitic accusations made by supposed "reformists" and "green party" leaders in Iran's regime against one another or their opponents who also work in the Iranian government. The most classic and detrimental way Iranian government officials can attack one another is to claim that the "such and such official was born a Jew, or was once a Jew who converted to Islam, or his family was Jewish a generation ago and then converted." The "Jewish identity label" is thrown around as a type of public insult or verbal assault. Officials in Iran and in most Islamic nations use it against one another in smear campaigns. For one Iranian government official to call or accuse another government official of being Jewish is the equivalent of individuals or groups in the United States accusing an elected official in America of being a child molester or pedophile.
The result is that being referred to as "Jewish" has a very derogatory meaning in Iran. Perhaps the best examples of Iranian regime members being publicly "smeared" with the "Jewish identity label" have been Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his senior adviser Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei. On a regular basis in Iran, opponents of Ahmadinejad tell the public there's no doubt Ahmadinejad or his cronies are "bad or foolish" people — because only a "supposed Jew or one of Jewish blood could be so evil in the world." Another example of this "Jewish identity label" occurred during the 1990s and early 2000s, when Iran's former president Mohammad Khatami or other "reformists" in the regime regularly accused hated rival officials of having Jewish blood. (My blog piece in 2009 uncovered the bogus story circulating worldwide that Ahmadinejad supposedly had Jewish ancestry.)
This form of anti-Semitism in Iran may seem to most observers in the United States or Europe merely dirty mudslinging that occurs in Iranian politics. Yet just this type of anti-Semitism should raise a red flag to everyone in the free world, because one day, should the current regime in Iran collapse, the supposed "reformists" who spew this type of hate speech today against Jews could potentially use this type of anti-Semitism as an excuse to blame hardliners for Iran's destruction. At the same time, their comments could directly or indirectly fan some in the Iranian-Muslim population to lash out against the 10,000 to 25,000 Jews still living in Iran. No doubt both "reformists" and "hardliners" in Iran's regime would not want to accept credit for the failures and heinous crimes against humanity committed by the regime's current leaders, should the regime collapse one day. So, blaming the Jews for their own failures would be an ideal and classic scapegoat policy for them to pursue.
Finally, the only thing that should surprise anyone about Rahimi's speech was that he did not attack Israel or Zionism, as most Iranian officials typically do per the regime's policy. He went out of bounds and clearly attacked Jews and their religion, which reveals the Iranian regime's true hatred of Jews. The Iranian regime's propaganda English-language media outlets online quickly retranslated Rahimi's speech on their sites by replacing his references to Jews with references to Zionists. The regime's state-run news sites tried to do "media damage control" for Rahimi, but they failed miserably because his comments made in the Persian language can be translated by native Persian-language speakers who know that the words he said were insanely anti-Semitic. The Iranian regime still expects the world to remain stupid enough to believe their bogus propaganda and that they "love the Jews" and have "given freedom to the Jews" living in Iran today.

Last week I was pleasantly surprised to read an opinion article published in the Los Angeles Times that was authored by Shahrzad Elghanayan, the granddaughter of the late Habib Elghanian who was the Jewish community's leader that had been executed by the Iranian regime in 1979. Shahrzad Elghanayan's piece was particularly powerful not just because she reminded readers of the significantly heinous crime Iran's current regime committed by executing her grandfather on trump up charges of espionage for Israel, but she shed light on the brain drain from Iran during the last 33 years that has caused that nation to continue into a downward spiral. Habib Elghanian was not just your average wealthy industrialist in Iran, he was one of perhaps a dozen proud and very affluent Iranian citizens who helped create entire industries in Iran that employed millions of people and were gradually helping Iran to become self sufficient. More importantly he was a philanthropist who gave back to all Iranians regardless of their religions. In 2009 I had the pleasure of interviewing Elghanian's brother, family members and friends who recalled this great man's generosity and love for his country. My piece regarding Elghanian can be read here.
His granddaughter in her beautifully crafted piece expresses the sentiments many young and old Iranian Americans feel in their hearts today about the tragedy that occurred in Iran in 1979. The mass executions, arrests and torturing of business people, intellectuals and Iran's educated "cream of the crop within the population" in the early years of the revolution have resulted in a mass exodus of millions of Iranians— Jews, Muslims, Bahais, Christians and Zoroastrians from their homeland. Shahrzad Elghanayan proudly names just a handful of the thousands of Iranian Americans who have transformed the business world but from the U.S. and the west. Moreover she correctly makes the point that the nation of Iran could have today benefited from these great minds if the insanely idiotic fundamentalist Islamic leaders in Iran had not destroyed the substantial freedom and relative tolerance people in Iran had enjoyed during the Pahlavi dynasty. The Iranian clerics that run the regime have essentially "flushed down the toilet" Iran's chances of a better and prosperous future when they carried out their ruthless campaign of terror, persecutions and murders in Iran. And as Iran continues to spiral out of control today with the regime's pursuit of nuclear weapons that can potentially drag the world into a horrendous international war, Iranians living outside that country can only sit on the sidelines and pray others worldwide do not experience the horrific tragedies they experienced at the hands of the Iranian regime's leaders.
Iranian Jews living in the U.S. will never forget the crime that was committed against our community when the Iranian regime executed the innocent Habib Elghanian. The horror of his sudden murder that caused thousands of Jews to quickly flee Iran, has been tattooed forever in the minds of many Iranian American Jews. Today we will not remain quiet about what the Iranian regime did to Elghanian and we will continue to remind the world of the dangers of this regime that has been ruling Iran with an iron fist for more than three decades! My only hope is that President Obama and the U.S. administration will finally wake up to the reality that they cannot trust nor hammer out a deal to "contain" a nuclear armed Iran. Regime change in Iran carried out only by the people of Iran who must rise up against their totalitarian regime is the only hope for a normal, nuclear weapons free and peaceful Iran. Kudos to Shahrzad Elghanayan for sharing the reality that not only Iranian Jews in the U.S. feel but that most Iranians of various faiths living in the west believe about the failed clerical regime running their former homeland.

To my delight I recently discovered that UCLA's Fowler Museum will be exhibiting the "Light and Shadows" exhibit at their facility this fall which will feature the remarkably rich art and history of Iranian Jewry dating back nearly six centuries. This powerful exhibit was originally placed in Israel at Tel Aviv's Museum of the Jewish People several years ago and received tremendous interest as well as acclaim from scholars and visitors alike. The exhibition was funded by local Iranian American Jewish philanthropists Youness and Soraya Nazarian through their "Y&S Nazarian Family Foundation" and they will likewise be funding the exhibition at the Fowler Museum as well. Their foundation has been heavily involved in founding and funding the university's Israel Center as well as other Iranian Jewish programs at UCLA in recent years.
In my humble opinion the "Light and Shadows" exhibit coming to the Los Angeles area is indeed an incredible gift both UCLA and the "Y&S Family Foundation" are giving to city residents as well as to Southern California's Iranian Jewish community which are estimated to be 40,000 strong. This exhibit will most likely give the younger generation of Iranian American Jews who have little knowledge of their history and background a better idea of the persecution their ancestors endured for centuries in Iran while retaining their Jewish identity. Likewise the younger generation can also take pride in the creative and intellectual achievements of their ancestors in Iran.

Southern California's vibrant Iranian Jewish community has been abuzz during the last few months with recent news of the election victory of Iranian-born Shaul Mofaz as the new leader of the Kadima party in the Israeli Knesset in late March and when earlier this month with his decision to join in a unity government with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. News media outlets worldwide have been busy trying to gather as much information as possible on Mofaz's background to learn more about this man but have failed to go his true roots which lie within the Iranian American Jewish community based in Los Angeles and New York. Fortunately, having covered this community as a journalist for more than a decade, I have gathered a substantial treasure trove of information regarding Mofaz's family background from his friends and distant family members.
One source that was closely familiar with Mofaz and his family was the late Iranian Jewish community leader Ebrahim Yahid. Sadly Yaid who passed away earlier this year in Los Angeles, spent many hours chatting with me about his life and even shed light on Mofaz's family from Iran in an exclusive 2008 interview. Yahid who originally hailed from the Iranian city of "Esfahan" recalled his close childhood friend with Mofaz's father Eliyahu that blossomed over the years. "Their family name was originally 'Mofassaskar' in Iran and his (Mofaz's) father Eliyahu helped establish the ORT Jewish trade school in Esfahan," Yahid said. "Shaul, whose Persian name was 'Shahram", was Eliyahu's first child and we played with him day and night— he even peed on me once! And when he became Minister of Transportation some years ago, I saw him in Israel and told him 'I hope you know that you peed on me Shaul!'".
Yahid, along with Mofaz's father and former Israeli ambassador to Iran, Meir Ezri— all attended the "Alliance Universalle Israelite" a French Jewish school based in Esfahan that was established to educate local improvished Iranian Jews and help them improve their future lives. On an interesting side note Meir Ezri is also a Mofaz relative. Yahid also shared some special insights into Mofaz's Iranian heritage and his attitudes towards the people of Iran. "I know that Shaul Mofaz comes from a very Zionist family but he still has pride in his Iranian Jewish roots," said Yahid. "I once asked him if there would ever be war between Iran and Israel— and he told he had serious doubts because Iran and Israel had always had close bonds with one another and the people of Iran were generally very good people". What has particularly sadden for me during the last several months is that Yahid, who praised Mofaz as a great Iranian leader of Israel, passed away and never had the special opportunity to witness Mofaz's recent political successes.
Interestingly, Mofaz has remained close with friends and family in the Iranian Jewish community living in Los Angeles and New York over the years. He had spent a substantial amount of time forging ties with community members in Los Angeles during his 2002 visit and over the years welcomed community leaders such as former Beverly Hills Iranian Jewish Mayor Jimmy Delshad during their visits to Israel. Sources close to me in the community indicated that even certain affluent Iranian Jewish businessmen held dinner fundraisers to support Mofaz's Kadima party leadership race earlier this year. There is no doubt that Iranian American Jews are proud of Mofaz's achievements in Israel's military and political realm since he is one of their own. But Mofaz's recent successes have been especially meaningful for the community following the tragic downfall of former Israeli President Moshe Katsav, who also hailed from an Iranian Jewish background. While I covered the community's initial support for Katsav, sadly his scandal was something community members quickly shied away from because it caused them great shame. Fortunately with Mofaz, they have a new and better example of success from a man of Iranian Jewish background that they can point to with great pride today. One can only guess what policies and attitudes towards Iran Mofaz will have considering his Iranian roots.

Yesterday nearly 50 of Southern California's prominent Iranian Jewish community leaders and activists gathered in the L.A. area for an informal breakfast meeting with Israel's Consul General for the Southwest region, David Siegel. The gathering allowed Siegel, who just last year assumed his post based in Los Angeles, to connect on a closer level with the area's Iranian Jewish leaders who have for the past 33 years been strong supporters of Israel. "I've been here for a quarter of a year already and there isn't a day where I haven't come across your community's leadership, friendship and hospitality," said Siegel to both young and older leaders at the meeting. "What an incredible story of success your community has had after moving to the U.S. and all along you have not forgotten Israel". Some of the community's prominent leaders included Nessah Synagogue's Rabbi David Shofet, former Beverly Hills Mayor Jimmy Delshad, former L.A. DWP C.E.O. David Nahai, Beverly Hills Public Works Comissioner Joe Shooshani and "30 Years After" president Sam Yebri.
Siegel also gave extensive insights about Israel's tremendous technological growth in recent years, even mentioning that the computer chip manufacturer, "Intel" that has just announced the creation of its sixth plant in Israel's city of "Kiryat Gan". Likewise Siegel discussed the unrest in the Middle East as well as the threats Iran's nuclear program possess to Israel's existence. More importantly Siegel announced the Consulate's upcoming program to outreach to younger Iranian American Jews through a series of new exciting events and activities. "Having the younger generation connect to Israel after the Birthright trip and in college is a priority for us," he said. "We will be focusing on the Persian Jewish community and calling on their young leadership to help us connect".
After the meeting with community leaders, I had an opportunity to interview Siegel about his impressions of L.A.'s Iranian Jews and their connection to Israel. I found his desire to embrace this tight-knit Jewish community which has tremendous sense of Zionism to be quite refreshing. Siegel, like many of Israel's past Consuls in L.A., realizes the substantial economic, philanthropic, cultural and even political impact Southern California's Iranian Jewry have in the region. The Consulate of Israel's efforts to outreach to the younger generation of Iranian Jews growing up in L.A. must be applauded because (with the exception of Sinai Temple in west L.A.) many in the larger Ashkenazi Jewish community in the city have made little if no effort to build bridges with local Iranian Jews. No doubt the substantial impact local Iranian Jews have had for Israel's betterment cannot be ignored. After all it was L.A.'s Iranian Jews that first established the "Magbit" organization that for the last 20 years has been offering millions of dollars in interest-free loans to college students in Israel. Or Newport Beach Iranian Jewish philanthropist, David Merage, who's Merage Foundation, established the "Ayalim" program in Israel that has helped fund the building of new settlements in Israel's Negev region. Or the Iranian Jewish "Y&S Nazarian Family Foundation" that has poured millions of dollars into establishing UCLA's newest Israel Studies Center. The list of L.A.'s Iranian Jewish contributions to Israel goes on and on, not to mention the tremendous Israel philanthropy done by New York's Iranian Jewry.
Yes many in the Iranian Jewish community often close themselves off to non-Iranian Jews, but I have found they are increasingly opening up and assuming a leadership role when it comes to issues of Israel. Perhaps the best example of this opening up process comes from the L.A. based "30 Years After" organization that has motivated many young Iranian Jewish professionals to get involved with civic and political activity. In fact this year's AIPAC Conference had a large contingent of Iranian Jews from L.A. and New York in attendance, reflecting the community's growing political involvement with all things Israel. What I hope to see is a larger number of Iranian American Jews in the coming year opening up to Americans of all backgrounds about the painful experiences they endured while living under and escaping from the current regime in Iran. I think no other group in the U.S. would have a greater impact on public opinion when it comes to issues of Iran's nuclear weapons program than Iranian Jews living in the U.S. who know firsthand the very serious dangers the regime of the ayatollahs in Iran posses to the world.
The following is a portion of my recent chat with Siegel about his thoughts on L.A.'s Iranian Jews…
Here is another discussion I had with Siegel about the attitude of average Israelis regarding the people of Iran…

On May 17th, the Iranian Jewish Los Angeles reserve Sheriff's deputy, Shervin Lalezary was honored "30 Years After", (30YA) an L.A.-based Iranian Jewish community non-profit for his heroism in January of this after arresting an alleged arsonist threatening the city. Overnight, Lalezary, a 30-year-old Iranian Jewish real estate attorney by day, was thrust into the media spotlight and also became a source of tremendous pride for his community. Aside from a brief January appearance on the nationally syndicated "Ellen" show, a very humble Lalezary for the most part has declined repeated requests for news media interviews and publicity regarding his role in the case. I had a rare chance to chat with him that evening for my upcoming article in the Jewish Journal regarding his community's reaction to his volunteerism on behalf of the Sheriff's department. Lalezary receives only $1 a year salary for his law enforcement work and shared some insights about his true love of giving back to the larger community. He accepted the honor from 30YA in an effort to promote the Sheriff's deputy reserve program among local Iranian Americans.
Lalezary represents what is best and accurate about Southern California's Iranian American Jews contrary to what has been portrayed about the community in recent bogus reality television shows or in news stories about businessmen involved in ponzi schemes. The Iranian Jewish community living in the U.S. is perhaps one of the most educated, hardest working, entrepreneurial and family oriented immigrant groups in the country. After re-establishing themselves in this country they have now turned to giving back in any and all ways possible— and indeed Lalezary is the best example of this spirit among Iranian American Jews. (My blog posting on Lalezary can be found here).
That evening 30YA also honored out going California Assemblyman Mike Feuer for his civic work and support for young Iranian Jews who are getting involved with politics. From the inception of 30YA, Feuer has been a strong supporter of the local Iranian Jews and will be looking to them for support for his upcoming race for L.A. City Attorney. Also on hand were a number of candidates running for California Assembly seats; including Andrew Lachman, Richard Bloom and Betsey Butler who were courting Iranian American voters at the gathering for their support. "As the one candidate from the Jewish community in the 46th, I will make sure that we actually enforce these laws to ensure that no company doing business with Iran sees a penny from the state of California and that we invest in growing jobs here in California," said Lachman who is running for the Assembly's newly established 46th district seat.
For their part, 30YA remains the only active Iranian American Jewish organization in L.A. and New York who are motivating their community members to get involved with politics and civic activity. This is indeed refreshing nowadays considering the lack of community leadership from the older generation of Iranian Jews. Here are some photos I captured of the 30YA evening honoring Lalezary and Feuer….

In September 2006 I had the unique opportunity to interview Jewish philanthropist and hairstyling legend Vidal Sassoon for the now defunct "Iranian Jewish Chronicle" magazine based here in Southern California. With the news of his sad passing this morning, I felt it was appropriate to share that exclusive interview with readers as an special insight into Sassoon's strong sense of Jewish identity and profound sense of Zionism.
While the name Vidal Sassoon has become synonymous with the glamorous world of hairstyling and haircare products for nearly five decades, the man behind the brand name had been equally well known for us unwavering support for Israel during this period. Before becoming known as the "father of modern day hairstyling", Sassoon was born in the east end of London's improvised Jewish ghetto in 1928. Despite his family's financial problems, by age 14, the young Sassoon began working as an apprentice in a Jewish barber shop and learning his famous craft. During this same time he joined the "43 Group" a popular anti-fascist organization that combated post-World War II anti-Semitic groups parading in London's streets. When the state of Israel was established, then 20-year-old Sassoon bravely volunteered and served in the Israeli army in the War of Independence.
After the war, Sassoon returned to London and over the years created his famous hairstyling empire that included forming hair salons, hairstyling schools, and haircare products bearing his name. Today he is credited for establishing the foundations of modern hairstyling after having created geometric hairstyle cuts, the popular wash-and-wear perm, as well as other hairstyling techniques that are widely used. In addition to his career, Sassoon had also dedicated his time to aiding worthy philanthropic and educational causes in Israel. In 1982 he founded the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Anti-Semitism at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He was also involved with the North American Conference for Ethiopian Jews, a group that provides educational and sports programs for young Ethiopian Jews visiting the U.S. from Israel.
The following is a portion of my 2006 interview with Sassoon…
Your family name 'Sassoon' is very popular among Iranian Jews and Sephardic Jews, can you please give us a brief background of your family's origins?
My father was actually from Salonika in northern Greece where the family had lived for some years. I think there was a population of about 90,000 Jews there and after the Holocaust there was 3,000 left which is quite dreadful. But I am Sephardic from my father's side and my mother was born in London and her people are from the Ukraine, Kiev. So I guess on my mother's side it was Ashkenazi, she spoke both Ladino and spoke Yiddish. She was quite a remarkable woman.
What prompted you to start working at a barber shop at a young age?
Well I had no choice. First of all it was World War II, we were in London and we used to sleep in the shelters because the German air force was rearranging the streets of London every night with the bombings practically every night in those days. This was in 42' and I was 14. My mother didn't have the luck that she might have had and my father had left us at an early age, so we lived in the east end of London with an aunt until I was five. Then my brother and I were put in a Jewish orphanage until I was 11, when the war started. At 14, that was the school leaving age unless you had money which we didn't, or you had an extraordinary brain and won scholarships. Of course I didn't have that either. My mother had a premonition and she felt that hairdressing would be very very good for me. She took me along to a man named Adolf Cohen at 101 White Chapel Road which was in the Jewish ghetto where I had my apprenticeship. He was a great disciplinarian which served me for the rest of my life, he was very good for me. It took me a long time of studying and working in different places around London.
As a teenager you joined the British Jewish organization known as the "43 Group" in London, what activities was this group involved in and how were you involved?
It was a rather strange situation because the war was over. Before the war there was quite a strong fascist party led by Oswald Mosley and he and his cohorts were put in detention (jail) during the war by Churchill. After the war they came out and immediately started up again with their anti-Semitism and running through the streets and having meetings, it was quite ridiculous. Many truly brave Jewish ex-servicemen started the "43 Group" because there were 43 people at the first meeting they had. These were tough men who had been through the war. Of course volunteers were needed, I was 16 or 17 at the time, most of my friends joined the 43 Group and there were quite a few hundred of us. Truly the fascists were smashed in the streets and yes if you were scared at times because it was scary. But after we saw the pictures that came out and the whole story of the Holocaust, there was actually no way we could allow fascists to run through the streets. I was arrested one night and put in jail, the following day the judge told me 'to be a good boy' and let me go. That was our life in those days, we decided that we were absolutely not going to allow what happened pre-war when Jews were just beat up indiscriminately in the streets. It worked beautifully because of mainly the tough Jewish characters that were in the British armed forces during the war, they were the people that did it. But also there were quite a few gentiles who had seen the camps, the horror of Europe and fought with us.
After Israel was established in 1948, what motivated you to suddenly leave your family and join the Palmach (Israeli army) at such a young age?
Through my mother who was an ardent Zionist and who used to hold Zionist meetings were we lived in the East End, so I grew up with Zionism. My sense was that without a strong Israel, Judaism would die out with only a few religious Jews in the world but basically as a philosophy of life it would be very much on its way out. Israel was so important. An Israeli officer, a "Sabra" came to London and had a meeting way before 48' in late 47' and say 'that if a war breaks out which they were expecting, we would like volunteers'. He came to see the 43 group and I hadn't a clue who he was. You've got to remember that I was just a private, a very insignificant member of the group, just one of the ordinary…I guess you call them G.I.'s. A few us put our names on a list, we couldn't leave until the British left (Palestine) for obvious reasons because we were British.
Did you see any action while you were a soldier then?
I was very lucky, I was very fit and I joined the Palmach. I was living in a young fishing kibbutz with young beautiful Sabras, tough from their work and strong in their minds. We were three English guys— I was one of them, there was one American we were accepted into the group and became a part of the Palmach. We trained for two months, it was the hardest physical exercise I've ever had in my life. We marched through the night through the northern Negev through Arab lines because in those days you couldn't truly get through by transport, we were building up the kibbutzim inside those lines. When Egypt attacked with tanks, many comrades were killed, many were wounded but I was very lucky. Out of the three Englishmen and one American, two of the English guys were wounded and the American and myself were unscratched. It was an extraordinary experience and I think that experience in Israel gave me the sense that anything could be done. I thought I saw a miracle happen, you think that 600,000 people beat back five Arab armies…it was an extraordinary feat. Frankly no one realizes how it was done.
After the war what motivated you to get back into hairdressing in England?
My mother. The war was over, we were in Tel Aviv waiting and deciding what to do with the rest of our lives. I got a telegraph from my mother who said that my step-father had had a heart attack, come home and earn a living. So I went back to England and the only thing I knew to earn any cash was through hairdressing. I got a job and many many jobs, it took quite a few years. In 1954 I opened my own salon after working for a wonderful man called "Raymond", I learned so much from him about cutting.
Over the years you've been given the title of "father of modern hairdressing" for your contributions to the profession, where did you get the motivation for developing these haircutting techniques and what is it like to be considered a legend?
Well I opened my own salon in 1954 and by that time I was totally fascinated by what you could do with hair, the possibilities of changing things. For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before. There were many innovations that we—I say we because I trained a team that was much involved with me. Many innovations we created that changed the craft, so I guess that's why they call me the 'father of hairdressing'…or maybe it's because of my age, I'm 78 and possibility the grandfather.
In recent years, you have sold your chain of salons and the haircare products that bear your name to other companies. Have you decided to move away from the industry or are you still involved?
I haven't moved away from it, in fact I did a live show at the 'Albert Hall' three months ago. There were over 5,000 people and we actually sold out the Albert Hall. I'm doing a show in Israel in May of this year. There's a big hair show in Israel and they're inviting the Jordanian hairdressers so I hear, which I think should be very interesting. I speak now, I don't actually physically work on heads on hair, but I speak. In June my hairdressing team will be doing a show in Barcelona as well. We're invited to so many places just to show up and talk to young hairdressers and tell them about our experiences. It's very very nice, it a great compliment. So I haven't really deserted the craft at all, I'm still involved.
Nowadays you do not see many prominent people in the public eye taking a strong stance on behalf of Israel, why have you remained active in fundraising efforts and a vocal supporter of Israel?
I honestly believe that without a strong Israel, Judaism is doomed. If you look at our center in Jerusalem that has done a survey about anti-Semitism in Europe, in France it is horrendous—it's practically a quarter of the population there that doesn't like Jews. In Britain it's about 15 to 18 percent of the population that don't like Jews. My sense is that as the world is today, there is an extraordinary rise of Islamic anti-Semitism utilizing much of the Nazi propaganda. When you have a situation were there is indigenous anti-Semitism it can become endemic and all you have to do is a start a spark. Frankly I don't trust the world, there are very nice Christians in this world as there are Muslims, as there are Hindus etc, but there are only 13 million Jews left in this world. Where did they all go? They were all murder or they had to convert or be murdered. So a very strong Israel is absolutely necessary to our survival as a people.
You seem to be visiting Israel often and are active with social programs there, what is your sense of the Arabs that are citizens of Israel?
I do believe that Israeli Arabs should be equal citizens in Israel. They now vote for their own people the Israeli parliament, that's good for democracy. But I do believe that the Israeli national anthem should be inclusive of all, it should not just be 'nefesh yehudi' it should be 'nefesh Israeli'—everybody should be included. They're either loyal Israelis or not, and if they're not we're creating a fifth column in Israel because there are 1.2 million people of the Islamic faith living there. I just believe we have to change our relationships with Israeli Arabs. I think it's very important that they feel that they are very much a part of the society and they are Israeli. The 'Druze' for example who are loyal Arab citizens and serve in the Israeli army, we need to welcome them and have them included more in Israeli society.
What was your objective in founding the International Center on Anti-Semitism at Hebrew University that bears your name?
I was always involved with Hebrew University before then, but there was this wonderful professor, Yehuda Bower at the university and we had very similar views and feelings about Judaism and where Judaism was going and if there was a future for Judaism. It was terrifying to think that the people who created Einstein would be eliminated from the earth. It's terrifying to think of all those extraordinary elements in society that made up Judaism that have been wiped away and could have been so creative for the rest of this universe. Yehuda Bower was speaking in his most brilliant way and his knowledge of past history was so valid and vivid, that we followed him. He talked to me and he said "how would you like to be involved in creating a center for the study of anti-Semitism." So I said, could we also include other related bigotries (to study) because you're trying to fathom the mind and hate of humanity and not just Jews. So this was a man that had great appeal, dynamic energy, and I was fortunate to meet him. I was also fortunate considering my background where I came from to have the necessary finances to help create the center. The center has grown extraordinarily. Yehuda Bower is close to 80, he still lectures but he is not in charge of the center anymore. I couldn't be more pleased with the way the center is going and I'll be visiting it in May.
Can you tell us a little bit about the North American Conference for Ethiopian Jews which you've become involved with?
It's quite wonderful. We are developing programs where the money goes partly for education and partly for sports because the health body and healthy mind is were it's at. Many people are involved; it's really an honor to be a part of this. You know there's something (the author) Camu said that has stuck with me all my life and it's "too many people have forsaken generosity to practice charity". I hate the word "charity". The generosity of soul, if you give, you're giving because you're pleasing your own soul. The word charity means something totally different, "oh those poor people over there let's do something for them". Generosity is the spirit that is within you and I love the way Camu put it.
What advice do you have for young young Jews living in the U.S.?
It's hard to give advice. There are so many people, how do you give major advice to a group of people, it's very presumptuous. If you look into yourself as an individual, find your strength, and work on your weaknesses, have courage of your convictions…what more can you do. Feel a sense of pride, not false pride but a sense of pride in the extraordinary production in every area that the Jews have given to civilization.

During the last ten years a growing number of young, educated and successful Iranian American Jews have ventured into the arts and entertainment industry as their primary profession. The sense of sharing their creative energy and aspirations has been attractive to young Iranian Americans Jews living in L.A. who are now wanting to break with their community's traditions of going into the classic professions of medicine, law or business. I have had the special pleasure of witnessing the new generation's attraction to the art world and even interviewed Iranian Jewish art curator, Shulamit Nazarian in 2010 following her exhibition of the art works of several contemporary Iranian Jewish artists in L.A..
More recently, I was delighted to attend the grand opening of the "Illoulian Contemporary" art gallery in West Hollywood headed by another up and coming Iranian Jewish art curator, Candice Illoulian. Last week I caught up with Illoulian who was featuring the unique art work of William Benhamou, a 24-year-old well-known French Jewish artist. The exhibition was abuzz because of Benhamou's very interesting "pop art meets street art" style of work as well as the large crowd of young Iranian Jews drawn to the gallery. For his part, Benhamou was excited to have his work which combines photography, video, writing and painting on display in Los Angeles as well as the support of young Iranian American Jewish art lovers.
The following is a portion of my interview with Illoulian regarding her new art gallery, her attraction to a career in art and her involvement of with Benhamou….
Can you share a little with us about your background as an art curator and interest in the field?
Art has always been a passion of mine. I was an Art History major and Business Administration minor at USC, anticipating a career in the art world. Upon graduation, I held positions working at Christie's Auction House in New York City, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and a few art galleries both in Los Angeles and New York. I am a member of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Modern Art, and the American Friends of the Israeli Museum. I also serve as the Arts and Cultural Affairs Commissioner for the City of West Hollywood.
What motivated you to open your own art gallery?
Opening an art gallery has been a life long goal of mine and around the High Holidays last year, my dream came true and I opened my gallery. I am always on the search for new talent and not looking for any particular style. However, it is important for me to be deeply moved by the artist's work. I seek artists who demonstrate depth and range in their artistic expression, who are unafraid to be controversial and avant-garde, and who have the power to shake your core. My aim is to find captivating and thought provoking artists who can rattle both art lovers and non-art lovers alike; these are such artists whom I am looking to exhibit.
How did you get involved with William Benhamou and why did you choose him for your grand opening exhibition?
In the beginning stages of my gallery, I spoke to a mutual friend, Sarah Hart, and she raved about William and insisted that we meet. She introduced us on Facebook, where we consequently arranged to meet via Skype, since I was in Los Angeles and he was in Paris. William Benhamou's genius lies in the fact that he can create art that plays on pop-culture and are very light upon first glance, but bear a much deeper meaning pertaining to contemporary social and politically charged issues. Every time I see any of his given work, I find a new meaning, new symbolism, and some perverse play on society that makes me laugh out loud even when I am by myself. I chose William as my opening show because his work is extremely vibrant, energetic and tantalizing, which is how I wanted to introduce myself to the art world.
Are you looking to exhibit more work in your gallery from Iranian Jewish artists?
Of course I would love to have the opportunity to display Iranian-Jewish artists! As I said before, if I connect with the artist and believe in his or her work, I would love to display their art. I already work with an Iranian Jewish sculptor, Angela Larian, whose sculptures are absolutely exquisite, heartfelt and multifaceted, all the while celebrating human nature in its most organic form. I am looking forward to presenting her new body of work in the near future.
What do you think our community as Iranian Jews in L.A. has to contribute to the art scene in the city and in the U.S.?
We as a community harbor great talent which we have to support in order for them to shine in both the national and international art arena. I would love to use my gallery to help pave the road for these aspiring artists seeking recognition in the art scene.
The following are paintings created by William Benhamou….

About Me
I am a communications professional with high-level experience in content strategy and creation; B2B, employee communications; digital engagement; research, insights and planning – and filmmaking.
I began my career in television, as a documentary maker in specialist subjects such as neuroscience. A strong conviction about the needs and experience of people at work spurred a change of direction that took me towards corporate video and then to corporate communications.
A major strength is that I'm able to 'cross-fertilise' knowledge and experience from different disciplines: applying the principles of interactive user experience to audience research and communications design; or the approach of filmmaking to content strategy, group facilitation and narrative construction.
I'm both a strategist and a storyteller - an analyst, planner and rational thinker with a strong instinct for the emotional 'hook' and a taste for the unexpected. I like to make connections between disparate ideas and find the drama in the detail.
I work solo and as part of a team – this may include web IA specialists, social media experts, writers and filmmakers, animators, print and digital designers, as well as account managers and business development. My international background and experience of working in other countries means I bring a wealth of eclectic insights to my work.

There's An App for That

You probably know that
Magic 98
is streaming online, and you can listen from anywhere in the world by clicking "Listen Live" at Magic 98.com. People really do listen in faraway places--I've had people check in on my shows recently from Texas, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Florida. We once got an e-mail from a Madisonian who had relocated to Europe but listened online to get a little taste of home. And we know there are lots of American Top 40 fans who can't hear the show where they live, so they log on for Casey every weekend.
But what if all you have is a desktop computer? Maybe you're traveling and you don't want to carry the laptop. Maybe you don't have an Internet connection where you're going. Wouldn't it be great if there were an easy way to listen to Magic on your smartphone or tablet?
There is. Ann got me a Kindle tablet recently, and I discovered an app called
TuneIn Radio
that lets you choose from upwards of 100,000 radio stations around the world--
including Magic 98
. Whether you have an iPhone, a Blackberry, a Google phone, or you run Android apps, you can get the TuneIn Radio app free. It also works on certain TVs and connected devices for your TV, and even in your car, if you're equipped for that.
Find out how to get TuneIn Radio
. (The app is free, but as always, your own data plan charges may apply as you listen.) Then, when you're listening to us on some beach while there's a blizzard back here, you can call up and gloat. Or not. Your choice.)
