US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran was killing thousands of people for protesting and urged the world to take more notice. Disturbances in Iran began in mid-November over gasoline price hikes but quickly turned political, with demonstrators demanding the removal of the top leaders of the country in the bloodiest anti-government protests since

Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs cried foul. “With hundreds of innocent Iranians murdered during the latest round of protests rolling in their graves, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden could not have picked worse timing,” it said in a statement on Sunday. It rhetorically asked, “We ask these European countries: What message are you sending to the Iranian people? Would it not be more effective and ethical to designate the regime officials responsible for the murder of innocent civilians? How is the Iranian regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps [IRGC] to understand this gesture?” “Europe continues to pretend that it’s serious about Iran and proliferation, but proves once again that it isn’t,” Danielle Pletka, senior vice president for foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, told JNS. “Overlooking Iranian malfeasance is a feature, not a glitch in Europe’s foreign policy.” The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations said in a statement: “At a time when the Ayatol- lahs’ abuse of the Iranian people is particularly egregious and the regime’s aggression in the region is increasingly flagrant, these countries joining INSTEX will essentially be seen as a green light for further atrocities. In their effort to rescue the [Iran nuclear deal], these countries are rewarding Iran’s destructive actions and enabling its quest for regional hegemony at all costs.” Behnam Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told JNS that amid the latest protests in the Islamic Republic, Europe is looking the other way. “Talk about wrong place, wrong time. Rather than standing with the Iranian people during this historic and dark moment, European nations are working overtime to resurrect a deal which is essentially dead,” he said. “The demand on the streets of Iran is not for limited enrichment.

Continued from Page A2 US Failure flouts international law is also wrong as I documented in my previous column. To briefly recap, one Carter adminis- tration official speciously concluded that settlements were illegal. Numerous legal scholars disputed this, as did Israel’s Supreme Court and President Reagan. John Kerry called them “illegitimate” and abstained but did not vote for the UN resolution labeling them illegal (which is irrelevant anyway since the UN gives political opinions not legal ones). People like Miller and Kurtzer never admit that the policies they advocate, the same ones they pursued at the State Department, were disastrous. It kills them to see Trump finally place the onus for the absence of peace where it belongs — on the Palestinians. Instead of white- washing Palestinian irredentism and terror, Trump is the first president to punish them for their destructive behavior. By recognizing Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, he has accepted the reality Miller and Kurtzer continue to deny, that Israel will not withdraw from either place. They still cling to the paradigm of two-states with a divided Jerusalem. One thing Miller and Kurtzer are correct about is that the settlement decision appeals to the president’s base. That, however, does not make it wrong. The Washington Post does not publish op-eds on how to run a business by people who spent 50 years running compa- nies into the ground — so why does it and other media outlets give a platform to people who essentially did the same thing for our Middle East policy?
