[net.politics] Israel/Iran/arms/rhetorics - Farzin vs. Farzin

cramer@sun.uucp (Sam Cramer) (02/20/86)

In article <90@ubc-vision.UUCP> Farzin Mokhtarian implies that I misrepresent
his argument regarding Israeli supply of Iranian-trained terrorists, writing:

>The "charge" is that Israel has continued to supply arms to Khomeini's regime.
>Furthermore, Israel is aware that Khomeini's regime trains anti-Israel and
>anti-American terrorists. 

Recall, however, that he originally stated:

> ... I think I understand.  Israel can not sympathize with those who
> engage in terrorism.  That's why they fuel their terrorism.

What are we to make of this?  Was line noise responsible for what appeared
under his name in net.politics?  Are Zionist agents lurking at UBC, 
intercepting and modifying Farzin's postings in order to discredit him?

Or are we just seeing an example of good old-fashioned dishonesty?
