Iran's rejection of aid
02 January 2004
Dear Sir
Iran’s rejection of Israeli aid following the earthquake is a predictable manifestation of Islamic fanaticism. By refusing help from a country with a proven record of international disaster relief, Tehran has put its hate inspired ideology before basic humanitarian considerations. Repellent anti semitism has long been fundamental to Islamic extremism and in Iran, it is a springboard for policy than civilian suffering. Those clear sighted Palestinians, who have long been used as pawns by their Arab brethren, should see a familiar pattern of behaviour here.
Yours sincerely
Jeremy Havardi
