Behind this scene are the American and British intelligence apparatus, and there will have to be retaliatory measures to punish them.
Mohammad Ali Jafari, Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, in a statement about yesterday’s suicide attack. Last year Seymour Hersh uncovered that the Bush Administration had begun funding clandestine activities in Iran aimed at undermining the ruling regime.
It is yet to be determined as to how the Iranian government will use these attacks to their advantage in this week’s nuclear negotiations between Iran, the US, and several European nations.
Israel’s only real crime is that it does not have an automatic majority in the UN.
Binyamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, Speaking at the United Nations yesterday in protest of the UNHRC’s endorsement of the Goldstone Report.
Netanyahu made these comments despite the long historical tradition of the United States vetoing any resolutions that are deemed unfavorable to Israel’s interests.
Mindful of the horrific human rights abuses that have taken place in Iran in the aftermath of the stolen elections, and the continuing protests and resistance by ordinary Iranians, one would think that Ahmadinejad’s lack of internal legitimacy would be the natural topic of conversation. But Ahmadinejad is not a man of limited resources.
He knows how to deflect the attention of the media and he is a master of changing the subject. And he knows all too well how to push the buttons of Western audiences.
So it is not a surprise that after having been relatively quiet about the Holocaust for almost two years, Ahmadinejad suddenly decided to question it once again just a few days before landing in New York. At the Friday prayer sermons on September 18, Ahmadinejad called the Holocaust a “lie.”
