Since both Iran & the Palestinians are big news today, here’s a video of 3arafat visiting Iran in 79, after the revolution. He praises that the Palestinian revolution has come to Iran. If anyone wants a detailed translation, let me know.
I wouldn’t be surprised if either Ahmedinejad won legit or the vote was rigged. Ahmedinejad does have supporters & I am familiar with the phenomenon of urbanites being shocked at the results of elections because they had no idea how differently they voted than the rural people. & he is probably very popular with poor people. I read a couple of polls in the past that showed him winning by a lot. But when I read an article that says this: “Tabriz voted 80 per cent for Ahmadinejad. It was he who opened university courses there for the Azeri people to learn and win degrees in Azeri.” - I find it really hard to believe that Azeris would vote for Ahmedinejad over an Azeri.
Both Musavi & Ahmedinejad are Israel-haters anyway.
