Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi "condemned terrorist acts and savage crimes being committed by Israel against the Palestinian and Muslim peoples." So reports Syria's official Tishrin newspaper this week. The statement was made in a speech Kharrazi delivered at the "International Conference of Combatting Racism and Racial Discrimination"; it opened in Damascus on Monday. Kharrazi said Israel is "an outstanding example of racism and discrimination." He thereupon called on other Middle Eastern states to unite "to confront the racist and criminal policy of Israel which has ...been troubling the entire region and carrying out acts of aggression against the Palestinian people who are still suffering from Israel's incessant crimes."
Arutz Sheva's Ron Meir points out that Iran was found responsible by a US court for the terrorist bombing murder of Jewish American teenager Alisa Flatow in the late 1990's. "The court ruled that Iranian assets in the US - up to a value of $247 million - could be confiscated by the Flatow family to pay the damages," Meir notes, adding: "The Teheran regime should also think twice about charging Israel with discrimination. Legal experts worldwide have severely criticized the regime for its persecution of 10 Iranian Jews jailed on trumped-up charges of spying for Israel and the US."
