Blind trap
07-Jan-2009
The recent Israeli attack on Ghaza has shown the world that the Middle Eastern peace process is not on the right track. What’s important to note is that neither Israel nor Palestine is gaining from this conflict. Palestinians are losing lives, territory and security and Israelis are losing lives and security. So who’s winning? In whose interest is it for this conflict to continue?
By looking at the events around and post the Iranian revolution in 1979, one can easily conclude that the biggest beneficiary of this conflict is the Islamic regime in Iran. The regime has made the conflict a vital survival tool, a life support system if you will. Without it, the IRI regime will be no longer. And by the way, since most Iranians want the regime to “die”, we need to take this life support system away, we need not to fall into the regime’s trap of blind anti Israeli propaganda. Even though we denounce killing of innocent people in Palestine and Israel, we should be careful not to fall into IRI’s trap.
Here are some of the ways the IRI regime is the biggest beneficiary of this conflict:
- The regime needs to divert attention on itself to Israel. As the world is realizing that IRI is the center of chaos in the region and world, IRI wants to show the world that it is in fact Israel whose causing all this, neglecting the fact that by refusing to recognize Israel’s right to exist, the IRI and its puppet groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, have essentially made any peace between Israel and them impossible.
- By making Israel look bad, it will look good. One can notice that IRI’s propaganda machine bashes Israel using the same language that the World bashes it, namely lack of respect of Human Rights and engagement in supporting terrorism. IRI also bashes democracy and liberalism for failing to “provide support for Ghaza”, thus, making its own ideological brand, which is fundamentalism, look good and effective.
- By engaging Israel in proxy wars, Israel and Arabs both, especially moderates Arabs, will lose resources and world public opinion support. In the meantime, IRI keeps building its resources.
- IRI wants to come out as the sole defender of Islamic causes in order for it to dominate the Islamic world and dominate Islamic public opinion. That’s neglecting the fact that IRI has not fired a single bullet towards Israel, but it is screaming on top of its lunges for other Islamic nations to attack Israel. Even bashing countries like Egypt who has gone into wars with Israel 3 times. By engaging in a blind irrational hatred towards Israel, the IRI will come to mind first when one thinks about governments or groups who are standing in the way of Israel. That makes IRI appear to be “tough” on Israel.
- Making the U.S look bad. IRI has promoted this idea that Israel does not take a single action without U.S’ approval, neglecting the fact that U.S supports Palestinian groups and other Middle Eastern countries who have been into war with Israel and who have no relations with Israel, including S Arabia. And also neglecting the fact that U.S has brokered fair and just peace treaties a few times between Israeli and Arabs in Camp David and Oslo, and constantly calls on Israel to halt settlements and establish two nation solutions.
There are many more reasons, those are just a few.
In conclusion, since we Iranians understand that IRI is connected to the “life support system of Anti Israelism”, we need to take that system away from it, so we can see a free Iran, a democratic Iran, a peaceful Iran and a rejuvenated Iran. We also want to see a free Palestine, a secure Israel and a stable Middle East. With the IRI in power, none of those are possible.

FYI/France's Far Right LE PEN Highjacks Gaza Tragedy
by Darius Kadivar on Thu Jan 08, 2009 07:41 AM PSTWell it seems all Extremists everywhere are highjacking this tragedy for other purposes. Like France's Far Right and Racist Politician Jean Marie Le PEN. His party lost the elections thanks to Sarkozy and now he wants to capitalize on this tragedy for Revisionist purposes and restore his party's lost credibility and win back parlimentary seats.
Does the "Burning of the Reichtag" in 1933 ring a Bell ?

DO not delete: Mullahs have brainwashed us all!
by An observer (not verified) on Thu Jan 08, 2009 06:32 AM PSTIsraeli and Palestinian never-ending 60-year-old infigthing are quite irrelvant to Iran and Iranians in general, yet we see that majority of so called Iranian commnetators, or those few with tens of registered and unregistered aliases on this Website have been echoing IRI's and Mullahs' views on this issue 24/7.
These so called hardcore Iran lovers seem to have forgotten all about Iran's internal affairs (and all the repression of basic fundamental human rights inside Iran), or the affair of Iranian acommunities in their adopted countries. I have noticed some even encourage people openly to back/support mullahs on this detrimental issue!!!!! When have the ruling mullahs during their 30-year-old reign done anything to benefit Iran and Iranians?
It is quite shameful!
P.S.If JJ cuts the naked pictures of women from this site, I don't see any reason why this website should not be widely accessible inside Iran.
Arab terrorism built support
by sickofiri (not verified) on Thu Jan 08, 2009 05:59 AM PSTArab terrorism built support for right-wing Israeli politicians, who took harsh actions against Palestinians, who responded with more terrorism, and so on. Extremists on each side sustain the other, and the excessive Israeli ground assault in Gaza is likely to create more terrorists in the long run, and that is what IRI wants, to set the entire ME on fire.
Good job , Patriot
by samsam1111 on Thu Jan 08, 2009 05:21 AM PSTOmmatis are fully responsible & cheering the bloodshed . for them , the More dead Palestinian infants the merrier . It,s the case of playing head games with buncha kids , arming the kids , train them , give em the map of the house , show them who to shoot , drive em there & wait in the get away car & hide em in the safe house .
Cheers !!!
your are absolutely right, however
by Behrooz (not verified) on Thu Jan 08, 2009 04:31 AM PSTDear Farhad
I agree with all your points, however do not forget this important point that on both Palestinian and Israeli sites there are radical extremists who would also benefit immensely from war.
For example in a few weeks time there will be an Israeli election and this war has boosted the publicity for the current ruling party.
Also the war had made Hamas very popular among Gazans so that a Fattah leader in his interview yesterday with BBC said: “ we are now all behind Hamas”
There have always been a minority in both sides who did not want peace either because of their radical and loony religious views or in order to stay in power and make more money. Unfortunately for the rest of us this minority have been the loudest and overshadowed the peaceful majority
Also from time to time dictator regimes in the region like IRI, Saddam, Ghazafi, Asad family and others exploited the situation, not because they gave a damn about those poor children who were being bombed into pieces but to provoke the emotions of their own people and divert their attention from their own short comes and misdeeds. And of course in a war zone there is loads of money to be made for the West so they happily played along.
However for us Iranian it is now about the high the time to start thinking with our heads instead of our guts.get ourpriorities right and and to stop being
Kaase-ye Daagh tar az aash
Leave the war issue to the parties involved as they are most qualified to resolve it "IF" they want to.
We have higher priorities and need to start focusing on the crimes IRI government and the sufferings of our own people. Believe you me the condition of life for people in Iran is no better than their counterparts in Gaza
Cheraghi Ke be khane ravaast beh masjed haraam ast
The one big flaw with most of this Israeli propoganda argument .
by aynak on Thu Jan 08, 2009 12:48 AM PSTis that the democratic aspiration of the whole region is held hostage by Israel.
1-Egypt: King Mobark II is to be crowned soon. Why isn't democracy flourishing in Egypt? IRI? right?
2-Saudi Arabia: Just spent another $8.5 Billion in purchase of military equipment to defeat the shadows. Yes, the Saudi Arabian democracy is indeed the envy of the Scandanavians.
3-Libya: This latest addition to the camp of the good! is just on a fast track one way to democracy/freedom central.
4-Pakistan: Let's see, how many more Madresseh they have opened since yesterday to pursue free expresion?
5-Turkey: Let's masacar some more Kurds and show the rest of the world how ready we are for integration into E.U
6-Iraq: Oh yes, that's an emerging democracy
7-Islamic Regime: Yes, they benefit tremendously from the stupid policies pursued in the region. They are dumb, but you and your elk are simply dumber.
8: Palestine: The only reason they have not been able to achieve the freedom and peace Kashani promises them, in the last 60 years is because of Islamic Regime of the past 30 years. Go figure. -- That's as sound as your entire write up.
Nicely Said
by Ali Sarshar (not verified) on Wed Jan 07, 2009 11:35 PM PSTYou are absolutely right. Hammas is nothing but a proxy for Mullas to do their dirty work outside of Iran. Mullahs have never been interested in the rights of Palestinians. They do anything to stay in power and diverting world attention to other parts of the middle east is one of them. What have they brought to the Palestinian people in the past 30 years?
Hammas is a more radicalized version of Islamic Republic. If anyone doubts this, please check their charters and leader profiles.
It is sad to see children dying in this conflict. Unfortunately it is all being orchestrated by the Mullas.
lets make this point very
by anti-zionist (not verified) on Wed Jan 07, 2009 11:11 PM PSTlets make this point very clear. As much as we despise IRI domestic policies and their interference to people's private life in Iran, by no way we will pave the road for the destruction of Iran for the benefits of the barbaric, apartheid Israeli regime. For people who are interested to gain more knowledge about ME conflict and the Israel's plan for greater ME I suggest you read "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clean_Break:_A_New_...
which is the blue print of the Israeli's plan to drag US to ME and doing their dirty job, including liquidating Iran.
Your point?Are U writing on behalf of the Israeli media or Zion?
by gol-dust on Wed Jan 07, 2009 10:45 PM PSTYou are repeating the same garbage that media in israel says! Regardless IRI benefits indirectly from this or not, you are knowingly trying to point the finger at Iran as iran instigated this! Don't drag IRI into this! talk about the israelis who are committing another holocust by putting all those palestinians in the gaza concentration camp! I hate IRI but i hate Israel much more! IRI kills our own, but helps others!
is it GHAZA or Gaza? May be it is GHAZA for Israel.

I say there is a "Yet" missing in that sentence.

Mr. Kashani
by varjavand on Wed Jan 07, 2009 09:06 PM PSTSometimes your sightless hatred of the IRI drags you toward a silly direction. For your information, IRI has been the beneficiary of US-Iraq war, US war in Afghanistan and now this war. So what? What is your point? Let say your analyses are correct and IRI is the de facto beneficiary of this war, isn’t that smart politics in their part? Isn’t that something you should brag about? I believe you are unknowingly praising the IRI for its slyness and smart politics.
Well said
