| [Jpost] News coverage of the large and growing anti-regime protests in Iran this week has included warnings by Iran "experts" insisting that the vocal support the protesters are receiving on social media from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is counterproductive. Israeli and US statements of support for the Iranian people and their desire to rid themselves of the regime that oppresses them will only weaken them, experts warn. But several counter-indications make clear that these warnings should be disregarded. ...Another problem with the position that Netanyahu and Pompeo and other senior Israeli and American officials should keep their counsel on the protests is that it is not at all clear why they think the protesters hate Israel and the US more than they hate the regime. ...The slogans being shouted in Tehran’s grand bazaar this week ‐ "Iran out of Syria," "Iran out of Lebanon," "I will die for Iran not for Syria or Lebanon," and "Death to Palestine," are not calls for a change in policy per se. They are a rejection of the Iranian revolution. Well, the "experts" who hate Israel more than they hate USA and vice versa, project. Plus, regime change in Iran threatens EUropean profits. ...Given the balance of power favors the regime, and that as protests grow the specter of mass repression increases, what else ‐ short of war ‐ can be done to weaken the regime? In a word: AMIA. Twenty-four years ago, on July 18, 1994, at Iran’s orders, Hezbollah terrorists in Argentina bombed the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina, or Jewish mutual aid association in Buenos Aires. Eighty-five people were murdered and more than 300 were wounded in the worst terror attack in Argentina’s history. |
