COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
“Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
'barred from standing in Iran's presidential elections'”
Ahmadinejad is in many ways a good and decent man, but he
has a penchant for poking fun at sacred cows, and it was this tendency which
got him into so much controversy previously.
Insanely exaggerated accusations were leveled at him
previously. There was even a deliberate mistranslation of his words put out and
repeated in the press many times to the effect that he threatened Israel's
future.
He did not.
But additional controversy and phony attacks are the last
things Iran needs now with Trump's people ratcheting-up Israel lobby-inspired
accusations against a country which has faithfully kept its international
agreements.
Israel is after blood, both in Syria and in Iran, and all
sense of integrity has vanished suddenly from Trump's administration with the
Syria missile attack based on a fake event.
