Everybody would think that Israel would want Ahmedinejad to lose. But when it comes to Iran, Israel has ‘na jaaye raftan na paaye mandan’.
This apartheid regime of Zionist racists is bound to disappear from the pages of history.
Mousavi bad for Israel - Israel Opinion, Ynetnews
At this time, Iran is in a similar situation to the one it faced in 1997. We can assume that a victory by the reformist Mousavi and his moderate statements would prompt the Obama Administration and European leaders to be much more open and attentive and much less critical towards Iran. In order to boost the moderate bloc and encourage liberal trends in Iran, the West was willing to offer a reformist government more attractive “packages” and longer extensions.
In a state where the president in fact implements the policy outlined by supreme leader Khamenei, a Mousavi win will enable Iran to break the isolation, grant an insurance policy to the Ayatollah regime, and bring it closer to the bomb.
There is no doubt that Israel is interested in seeing a liberal regime that is less hostile to it in Iran. Yet in light of the structure of Iran’s regime it could very well be that an Ahmadinejad win – and as result continued popular bitterness within Iran and the harsh approach to Iran on the international stage – is better for Israel.
