Netanyahu’s ‘regime cannot represent Judaism’, says Iran’s Javad Zarif in a message to Jewish people

“Netanyahu and his regime, along with Israel's western enablers, have unleashed the machinery of death and destruction in the region.”

In a video message addressing Jewish people around the world, Iran’s vice president of foreign affairs, Mohammad Javad Zarif, criticised Netanyahu’s government for “killing Iran’s nuclear deal”.

Javad also said that Israel’s “terrorist regime" cannot represent “Judaism, a divine Abrahamic religion”.

I just tried to share this most rousing and passionate plea for peace onto MY Facebook page. Unfortunately I was blocked from doing this. A powerful voice against the apartheid state that shames all humanity.

[formetoknowandyoutofindout]

Absolutely spot on and we must remember that Iran as a nation has NOT been to war with any other nation in the last 350 years, quite the opposite, they have been attacked, they were not the attackers.
