Israeli Defense Minister Encourages Iranian Protesters

Through the eight, interminable Obama years, there was nary a good news day. But for those of us who never gave in, never gave up, worked without stopping, then worked some more, waited for the light,  went without the meat, and cursed the bread –   the sacrifice was  worth it.  For news days like today .

================================================

Iranian protesters have shouted political slogans, “Death to Palestine.” “Death to Khamenei,” referring to Iran’s top leader., such as “Leave Syria, leave Gaza and Lebanon, deal with Iran”. The demonstrators called on shops to close in solidarity with the protests, with partial success. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman encouraged the ongoing protests.

Israeli Defense Minister Encourages Iranian Protesters, Asks, ‘Where Is All Your Money Going?’

By Benjamin Kerstein, Algemeiner, June 26, 2018:

Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman sought to encourage the ongoing protests in Iran against the ruling Islamic regime on Tuesday, issuing a Facebook post in Farsi that addressed the ongoing political and economic discontent that appears to be driving the demonstrations.

“Where is all your money going?” Yediot Ahronot quoted Lieberman as saying. “Until today, despite domestic economic difficulties, the Iranian regime continues to invest millions in Syria, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, the Houthis, and Shiite militias in Iraq.”

“In 2018, Iran pledged to pay $2.5 billion dollars to these organizations,” he continued. “As of now, Iran has invested $14 billion in Syria alone.”

Referencing the head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Lieberman said, “Even last month, when you were fighting for your bread in the streets of Tehran, Qassem Soleimani took several actions, including a logistical operation intended for Syria at the price of $70 million.”

Waves of protests have been ongoing in Iran for several months, most of them focusing on economic issues. However, the unrest has taken on a political dimension as well, expressing outrage at foreign expenditures despite the difficult economic situation at home.

In recent days, there have been major protests outside the parliament building and in the main bazaar in Tehran, apparently sparked by a major drop in the value of the Iranian currency, the rial. The demonstrators called on shops to close in solidarity with the protests, with partial success.

The protesters have also shouted political slogans, such as “Leave Syria, leave Gaza and Lebanon, deal with Iran”; “Death to Khamenei,” referring to Iran’s top leader; and “Death to Palestine.”

Islam will destroy itself through greed, violence and stupidity, a little external help to accelerate it will be nice.

Agree. But Left/Libs support jihadis. And Dems were paid by Iranian lobbyists to support Nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/mcake4d

And their holdovers still support it.

It’s very easy to topple this regime, all you have to do is arm the Christians/Atheists/Ex-Muslims in Iran. Given them a million guns and ammo and they’ll solve the problem overnight.

In the past the US was very active in finding ways to bring down governments they didn’t like. Too bad they’re not doing that to our Radical Islamic enemies.

By the way all these Islamic countries used to be Christian or Secular but were taken hostage by Islam for 1400 years. To remove Muslims from power would not only bring freedom back to the rightful owners but it will turn them into allies rather then enemies.

Thanks, HUSSEIN OBAMA….

Exciting times. Well, not where I live though. There is a saying “If there as a world wide revolution, Australians would miss it because they’d be sleeping”. I love the internet.

People have this confused. Trump and Netanyahu both are encouraging the people of Iran to take back their country and be free from the terrorist government they had that was supported by Obama. This is a good thing for all free people.
