HANDS ACROSS THE WATER

It's a big scandal in Iran. A government official allegedly touched a Jew.

The story goes that Iranian Tourism Minister Hamid Baghaei shook hands with Israeli tourism minister Stas Misezhnikov at a reception in Spain hosted by the king and queen.

Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization says this story is just an “ugly and false rumor” and Iranian officials “never encountered Israeli officials in any form.” The ministry is threatening to sue anyone who says different .

Jew-touching is a big no-no in Iran

In other news, Iran has indicted five protesters for "waging war against Allah." The penalty is death by hanging.

You'd think that Allah is big enough to defend himself without the help of the Iranian government.
