Jerusalem Post:

If you really love Iranians, then have the courage to speak out against the regime that oppresses them.

A Facebook campaign called “Israel Loves Iran” has drawn huge attention globally.

Ronny Edry, a graphic designer from Tel Aviv, wrote that the message is simple: “Iranians. We love you. We will never bomb your country.”

Prominent Western state-sponsored Persian-language media outlets like BBC, Voice of America, Radio Liberty/Radio Farda have promoted the initiative with extensive coverage. Even the newspaper Tabnak, the mouthpiece of the former chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Mohsen Rezai, cited the campaign.

Less positive media attention was given to an answer by Iranians with the title “From Iran for Peace and Democracy.” On their website and Youtube videos they link their opposition to a war between Israelis and Iranians to other demands like: “We, Iranians, do not want [a] nuclear bomb!” “We, Iranians, do not want an Islamic regime!” and “We, Iranians, do not want to support terrorist groups!” BBC Persian posted an article on its website denouncing the campaigners as “right-wing” Iranians who would only speak out against an Iranian bomb without mentioning the supposed Israeli nuclear arsenal. The article forgets to mention why not only Israel and members of the Iranian opposition, but the whole world and especially Iran’s Arab neighbors fear a nuclear Iran: While Israel has never threatened to annihilate another country, the Islamic regime announces the destruction of the Jewish state day by day and has been executing terrorist attacks around the globe for decades.
