Why the Iran Nuclear Deal Could Be Catastrophic for Israel
(Tablet) Emanuele Ottolenghi - The Islamic Republic openly calls for Israel's destruction while investing considerably in those who fight Israel at its borders. Iran possesses dangerous capabilities and proven intentions to use them. Last October, Iran organized an international gathering of Western Holocaust deniers. This month, Tehran is hosting the second international Holocaust cartoon contest. In September 2013, when CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour confronted Iranian President Hassan Rouhani over Holocaust denial, he dodged the question by pontificating that the Holocaust deserves more historical scrutiny to determine what really happened. What would cause Iranian leaders to defame the memory of the Holocaust so obsessively, other than deeply malevolent intentions?
