The Iran Deal and Anti-Semitism
(Times of Israel) Jeffrey Herf - Neither the White House nor the State Department has offered a full discussion of the hatred of Jews and of Israel that has been a defining feature of the Iranian regime or of the irrationality which that hatred produces. For six years Obama engaged with Iran as that regime spewed forth vile expressions of anti-Jewish hatreds. Now it is important that the debate also include an American conversation about the anti-Semitism of Iran and the hatred and irrationality embedded in the core of Tehran's view of the world.
