Israel is helping Iran rebuild its infrastructure in the Bam after the earthquake
In one of the most ironic twists, Yediot Aharonot newspaper in Tel Aviv is reporting that Israel is helping to rebuild in the city of Bam that was hit by a massive earthquake in December, 2003.
The paper reported, "the commercial cooperation between Iran and Israel is remarkable." Something is very strange about this report. If it is true and there is no reason to doubt the papers report, how can Israel be doing business in a country that has sworn to destroy Israel and whose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatens Israel's destruction and denies the Holocaust- again yesterday during Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Iran clarifies the Middle East Dennis Prager December 30, 2003
If you want to understand the Middle East conflict, Iran has just provided all you need to know.
A massive earthquake kills between 20,000 and 40,000 Iranians, and the
government of Iran announces that help is welcome from every country in the
world . . . except Israel.This little-reported news item is of great significance. It begs commentary. Israel not only has the world's most experienced crews in quickly finding survivors in bombed out buildings, it is also a mere two-hour flight from Iran. In other words, no country in the world would come close to Israel in its ability to save Iranian lives quickly. But none of this means anything to the rulers of Iran. The Islamic government of Iran has announced to the world that it is better for fellow countrymen and fellow Muslims -- men, women and children -- to die buried under rubble than to be saved by a Jew from Israel.
That is how deep the hatred of Israel and Jews is in much of the Muslim world. Hundreds of millions of Muslims -- Arab and non-Arab, Sunni and Shi'a -- hate Israel more than they love life. Leaders of the Palestinian terror organization Hamas repeatedly state, "We love death more than the Jews love life." And now, Iran announces that it is better for a Muslim to asphyxiate under the earth than berescued by a Jew from Israel.
Naive Westerners -- which includes most academics, intellectuals, members of the
international news media, and nearly all others on the Left -- refuse to
acknowledge the uniqueness of the Arab/Muslim hatred of Israel and Jews. Yet,
there is no hatred in the world analogous to it. Not since the Nazi hatred of
Jews has humanity witnessed such hate. That is why finding survivors from
earthquakes, creating a Palestinian state and life itself are all far less
important in much of the Islamic and Arab worlds than killing Jews and
destroying the little Jewish state.That is why Arab newspapers run articles by Arab professors describing how Jews butcher non-Jewish children to use their blood for holiday meals. That is why Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad could get a standing ovation from the heads of every Muslim country when he told them "the Jews rule the world by proxy." That is why Palestinian parents celebrate the suicide terror of their sons -- the joy of killing Israeli families far outweighs the pain of the death of their child. Western naifs like to believe platitudes such as "Deep down, all people are really the same," "All people want peace," and the great untruth of multiculturalism that no culture is morally superior to another. That is why they choose not to face the truth about the Nazi-like hatred that permeates the Arab/Muslim world and the consequent moral gulf that exists between it and Israel. It shatters too many of their illusions.
Surely the Iranian refusal of rescuers from the Jewish state ought to
help all these people acknowledge the unique hatred that is at the root of the
Arab-Israeli dispute and recognize that it is therefore a conflict unlike any
other on earth. So, too, the immediate and sincere Israeli offer of rescuers to
Iran should make the moral gulf between Israel and its enemies as clear as day.
Despite the fact that Iran is the greatest backer of anti-Israel (and
anti-American) terror and despite the fact that Iran repeatedly declares that
Israel must be annihilated (in other words, seeks a second Jewish Holocaust),
Israel offered to send its people to save Iranian lives.The two reactions -- Iran's preference for Iranian deaths to Israeli help and the Jewish state's instinctive offer to help save Iranian lives -- ought to be enough anyone needs to understand the source of the Middle East conflict. But they won't. Because those who are anti-Israel or "evenhanded" are not so because of the facts,but despite them. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/dennisprager/printdp20031230.shtml
