(photo credit: REUTERS)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In an eye-popping commentary on Monday, Germany\u2019s top-selling Bild newspaper urged businesses to stop trade with the Islamic Republic of Iran because of its terrorism and the regime\u2019s goal of obliterating the Jewish state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Bild\u2019s foreign policy editor Julian R\u00f6pcke wrote, \u201cThis Iran cannot at this time be an ally, neither in the fight against terrorism, nor as an oil supplier or trade partner.\u201d R\u00f6pcke, who reports on the Syrian war, wrote that Iran\u2019s missile launches into Syria were a \u201cmessage of terror. Because they carry the meter-long inscriptions \u2018Death to Israel and \u2018Death to the USA\u2019 \u2013 and that is deadly serious for the mullahs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">R\u00f6pcke noted that \u201cIran\u2019s rockets were not fired against the Islamic State, rather against those who stand in the way of the corrupt regime in Tehran; against those who do not want to stand inactively by when Iran\u2019s leader again and again propagates the \u2018extermination\u2019 of Israel.\u201d The Bild has a daily circulation of approximately 1,581,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Monday that it launched six missiles at paramilitary groups located close to the Euphrates River. Iran\u2019s clerical regime claims the missile attack was in response to a terrorist attack on a military parade in the Iranian city of Ahvaz last month. The attack killed 25 people in Ahvaz and injured an additional 60.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The Bild commentary is believed to be first instance in the best-selling paper of a call for the complete end of business deals with the Islamic Republic of Iran. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her foreign minister, Heiko Maas, support the European Union\u2019s \u201cspecial purpose vehicle\u201d (SPV) to permit financial transactions with Iran. The SPV is designed to thwart robust US sanctions on Iran\u2019s energy and financial systems. Germany\u2019s federal government provides credit insurance guarantees to companies that want to conduct business with Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">On Saturday, the US Embassy in Berlin tweeted a quote from the head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Dr. Josef Schuster, who said: \u201cI endorse an immediate stop of any economic relations with Iran. Any trade with Iran means a benefit for radical and terrorist forces, and a hazard and destabilization for the region.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Merkel and Maas, who said he entered politics \u201cbecause of Auschwitz,\u201d have ignored Schuster\u2019s plea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told The Jerusalem Post, \u201cCourageous honest leadership by Dr. Schuster. Chancellor Merkel continues business with Jew-hating Ayatollah who bankrolls terrorism around the world and threatens six million-plus Jews in Israel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Merkel arrives in Israel this week for a joint-cabinet consultation with Israeli leaders. She has defended the Iran nuclear deal that Israel vehemently rejects because it allows Tehran a pathway to a nuclear weapon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Schuster, who represents nearly 100,000 Jews in Germany, told the Post in August: \u201cThe Central Council of Jews in Germany has been criticizing German-Iranian trade relations for a long time. It seems paradoxical that Germany \u2013 as a country that is said to have learned from its horrendous past and which has a strong commitment to fight antisemitism \u2013 is one of the strongest economic partners of a regime that is blatantly denying the Holocaust and abusing human rights on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cBesides, Germany has included Israel\u2019s security as a part of its raison d\u2019etre. As a matter of course this should exclude doing business with a fanatic dictatorship that is calling for Israel\u2019s destruction, pursuing nuclear weapons and financing terror organizations around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"background: #d0e6fa; width: 710px; height: 15px;\" \/>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\" content-alignment&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; \">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><em>Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion&#8217;68,<\/em><em><br \/>\nani te\u017c webmastera Blogu Reunion&#8217;68, chyba ze jest to wyra\u017anie zaznaczone.<br \/>\nTwoje uwagi, linki, w\u0142asne artyku\u0142y lub wiadomo\u015bci prze\u015blij na adres:<br \/>\n<\/em><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><em><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 710px;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GERMANY&#8217;S BEST-SELLING PAPER CALLS FOR END OF IRAN TRADE TO PROTECT ISRAEL BENJAMIN WEINTHAL \u201cIt is high time to ask oneself where the money that Iran is earning by this trade is going,&#8221; Dr. Schuster said.
