    MOSKAU, O4. Juli . In Israel hält sich die Meinung, dass die von Iran ausgehende Gefahr nicht hypothetisch ist.

    Azari teilte auch mit, dass Israel auf Beilegung des Atomstreits mit Iran hoffe.
    „Für uns war es interessant, den Gipfel der Präsidenten der USA und Russlands zu verfolgen. Wir verfolgten aufmerksam die Worte des russischen Präsidenten zum Iran-Problem. Wir hoffen, dass die globale Zusammenarbeit zu Iran fortgesetzt wird, und begrüßen sie“, sagte die Botschafterin.

  7. TAGBLATT – Abwehrkampf eines Extremisten – Wirtschaftliche Krisen, interne Konflikte und internationale Isolation prägen die Politik Irans unter Präsident Ahmadinejad
    Iran, der viertgrösste Erdölproduzent, hat vergangene Woche das Benzin rationiert und damit wütende Proteste ausgelöst. Ein Symbol für die politische Negativ-Bilanz Präsident Ahmadinejads. Ein Machtwechsel steht deshalb aber noch nicht auf der Tagesordnung.
    Walter Brehm
    Widerstand gegen das Regime hat es in Iran seit der islamischen Revolution immer wieder gegeben. Bisher waren es aber zumeist einzelne Gruppen, die partielle Interessen vertraten. Mit der Benzinrationierung hat die Regierung erstmals praktisch eine Mehrheit der Bevölkerung gegen sich aufgebracht. Die Rationierung ist sichtbare Folge verfehlter Politik. Das schnelle Abflauen der Proteste zeigt aber auch, dass Wut von Konsumenten allein noch keine Perspektive für einen politischen Wechsel gebiert.

  8. JEWISHCOMMENT – The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Vile Cartoons
    Contributed by : Carol Gould
    Notwithstanding the pronouncements of Western-based Imams and Islamic scholars that Islam is the faith of peace and understanding, the idea that a Muslim nation can sponsor a competition for the best lampoon of the Nazi Holocaust is beyond the stretches of human decency.
    The malevolent President of Iran, who espouses the idea that the Holocaust is a myth and that even if it did happen Israeli Jews should be resettled elsewhere, and who calls for the annihilation of the Jewish State, has now given prizes to international cartoonists who offered the best parody of the Nazi genocide of six million Jews. For those who need a brush-up on recent history, Adolf Hitler convened the Wannsee Conference to arrange the ‚Final Solution‘ (mass extermination) when far too few countries absorbed Jews from Nazi-occupied Europe.
