Iran's New President Has a Track Record of Anti-Semitism

(Newsweek) Jonathan Greenblatt - An obsessive hatred of the Jewish state is a major feature of the career of Iran's President-elect, Ebrahim Raisi. This information is deeply relevant as the world considers whether to return to the Iran deal. In 2016, as head of the Astan Quds Razavi Foundation, Raisi oversaw the production of a 50-episode documentary film, titled "The Devil's Plan," promoting The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a 19th century forgery by Russian intelligence services designed to scapegoat Jews. In 2020, Raisi alleged America and "global Zionism" are plotting to subjugate all Muslims, pulling the strings of a global media empire, hatching devious plans in think tanks, and conspiring to insult the Prophet Muhammad. What's needed now is a forthright recognition by the Biden Administration that Iran's regime remains the number one state sponsor of anti-Semitism. The U.S. and all world powers must work together to assure that Raisi can commit no additional crimes against humanity. The writer is the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.
