The following letter is a sharp rebuttal to Itai Bar-Dov’s June 20, 2025, op-ed in the Nation, which parrots the Israeli regime’s propaganda to justify its illegal aggression against Iran. It exposes the hypocrisy of a state built on occupation, ethnic cleansing, and genocide—one that lectures others on ‘terrorism’. At the same time, its leaders face ICC arrest warrants for war crimes, in addition to the fact that the State has a case before the ICJ against it for genocide. From Gaza to Tehran, Israel’s lies are unravelling, and the world is finally seeing the truth.
Itai Bar-Dov, the representative of the zionist state of Israel, pokes his head out in the Nation newspaper of June 20, 2025, to repeat verbatim from the playbook of the genocidal Israeli regime as they seek to excuse their breaking of international law in attacking the sovereign state of Iran.
He paints a pitiful picture of what Israeli citizens are allegedly going through as Iran legitimately defends itself against zionist aggression. Multiply 1000-fold how Bar-Dov describes the anxiety in Tel Aviv, and you will get an accurate picture of what has been going on in Gaza with Palestinians since October 2023 and before at the hands of the Israeli regime, aided and abetted by the US.
Israel is an occupying state that has repeatedly utilized every means of terror, ethnic cleansing, genocide, starvation, murder and displacement, all totally against international laws and rules and the UN Charter, and Bar-Dov has the tenacity to describe Iran as a “terrorist regime”.
Bar-Dov cries crocodile tears when the Soroka Medical Centre in Beer Sheva is damaged as a missile struck Israeli military sites built near the medical centre but is overjoyed as zionist Israeli occupying forces directly bombed and destroyed more than 35 hospitals in occupied Gaza in the last 20 months, burning the ill, children, women, doctors and nurses to death.
Bar-Dov, the Israeli narrative and lies are unravelling, and decades of deceit are coming to an end. In 1992, Netanyahu told the Israeli Parliament that Iran was 3-5 years from a nuclear bomb; in 1995, he said 5 to 7 years, and the list goes on about his infatuation with Iran having nuclear weapons. The people of the world know that Netanyahu’s political survival is hinged on his stoking wars. Let us look at the facts:
- Which country in the Middle East has nuclear weapons and refuses to allow international inspectors to look at their nuclear program – Israel.
- Which country is expanding its territory by illegally occupying its neighbours – Israel.
- Which country’s leaders are wanted by the International Criminal Court – Israel.
- Which country is currently committing genocide by starving and killing tens of thousands of children – Israel.
- Who started this aggression against Iran – Israel.
So, to concoct a story that Iran is an aggressor and Israel is simply defending itself is absurd at the least.
In November 2023, while on Barbados radio, Bar-Dov was compared to Joseph Goebbels, the chief propagandist for the Nazi Party. He has certainly lived up to that description.
