And what will give absolution to Israel?
I can understand (NOT agree) arms sales between Israel and South Africa! 
That's only another sale of arms from a "democratic" country to yet another
repressive country. We are used to those. But supplying arms to Iran is very
different. I believe it says a lot about the intentions of Israel. 
  
Israel has been arming a state which trains terrorists and these terrorists
are supposed to  target the  U.S. and Israel. Some of these terrorists were
responsible for murders in Rome and Vienna. 

What kind of a policy is this?
 
Israel itself has already been turned into a fortress. It is mainly jewish
and American centers in Europe that will come under attack. The Palestinian
cause has recently gained some sympathy in Europe. Is this the price that
has to be paid to discredit the Palestinians? I am genuinely interested in
knowing about any other motivations.
