[net.politics] Farzin vs. Farzin: Israel supplies Arab terrorists?

cramer@sun.uucp (Sam Cramer) (01/25/86)

Responding to my submission, Farzin Mokhtarian states

> Correction: I never said what the intention of Israel was. I don't 
> know that. I said that they have been supplying arms to Iran 
> when they know Iran has been training Arab terrorists.

Responding to Bill Tanenbaum he states

> I don't know whether it is Israel's intention that those arms be 
> given to the terrorists or not but Israel *knows* that some of them
> will be given to the terrorists.

However, in an earlier article he said

> Well, leaders of Israel don't seem to be among those "outraged
> people" or they wouldn't supply arms to Khomeini's regime who
> trains Arab terrorists.

and

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

So it appears the Farzin either can't make up his mind about Israel
"fueling" terrorism, or he can't be straight with net.politics readers
on the matter.
