Iranian “moderate” foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif spoke about President Trump’s latest moves against Iran and revealed more than he perhaps intended.
For example, he said, “The current policy of Mr. Trump is doomed to fail. With wisdom and resilience, Iran will prevent Trump and the Zionist regime from depicting the country as an international security threat once again.”
Zarif didn’t deny that Iran was a security threat to the world. He said that Iran will prevent its enemies from depicting it that way.
But Zarif let out his inner antisemite in this quote:
“Trump withdrew from many agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Paris climate accord, or even more recently, UNESCO, all in support of the Zionist regime,” Zarif asserted.
Israel was behind the US withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Paris climate accord? In fact, Israel wasn’t even aware that the US was withdrawing from UNESCO until it was announced!
Zarif is consciously parroting the antisemitic canard that Jews control the US. But too many people still insist that the Iranian regime is merely “anti-Zionist,” not antisemitic.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
