Right Wing Tinderbox In Middle East

Only too happy to see the back of Israeli's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the man who took the genocide against the Palestinians to a whole new level but not so keen to see another right winger take his place in the shape of Naftali Bennett and one of the first things he did was attack the Palestinians for having the temerity to protest against the brutal and murderous military occupation they are under.
Another match thrown into the Middle East tinderbox is the election of ultra Conservative Ebrahim Raisi who is set to be Iran's next president and in a country run according to conservative religious values, being an ultra conservative cannot be a good thing.
Amnesty International have been quick to point to Mr Raisi's role in the mass executions of political prisoners in the 1980's when he was one of four judges who oversaw death sentences for about 5,000 prisoners and said that 'Ebrahim Raisi has risen to the presidency instead of being investigated for the crimes against humanity of murder, enforced disappearance and torture'.
In Iran's political system it is the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the top religious cleric, who has the final say on all state matters but where it leaves the nuclear deal now is a another concern with Iran already re-starting its nuclear operations after Donald Trump withdraw American support from the previous deal.
Thankfully there is a grown up in the White House now who is not so supportive of the vile Israel Government but with two far right leaders in the two places where a spark is likely to lead to a quick escalation of conflict, we could be moving into some very dangerous territory.
