The Islamic Republic of Iran announced on Wednesday its support for the "Jerusalem intifada" that Israel has been witnessing for the past five months, declaring that it would give financial rewards to families of Palestinian terrorists.
Speaking at a press conference in Beirut on Wednesday, with the participation of several leaders of Palestinian factions, Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, Mohammad Fathali, said: "Continuing Iran's support for the oppressed Palestinian people, Iran announces the provision of financial aid to families of Palestinian martyrs who were killed in the "Jerusalem intifada."
According to the ambassador, every family of a martyr will receive $7,000, while a family whose home was demolished by the IDF will receive $30,000. The aid will be conveyed through the Palestinian branch of the Shahid Institution, which was established in Iran in 1992.
Fathali called on the Arab Muslim nation to unite around the central Palestinian issue and said that "the martyrs' blood will release the entire Palestine, from the river to the sea."

To be fair, Israel is demolishing innocent peoples homes, basically punishing entire families for the crimes of one idiot.
How about we just give Iran all the Palestinians?

Not if the family turns in the terrorist. They have a chance to save their house and it's their choice to take it or not.

Iran and the Arab world at large don't give a shit about Palestinians. They treat them horribly and refuse to give them citizenship. They want Israel destroyed and they are using the Palestinians to do the dirty work.
Disgusting. Instead of taking the Palestinian refugees they simply pay them to get themselves killed.
A known state sponsor of terror is sponsoring terror!?!? GASP! Who could have known?

And people wonder why closer relations with Iran is a bad idea. They do not give a fuck. They won't do anything for peace. They are one of the most vile governments out there.

Thats true. Iran gives women and transpeople more rights than Saudi.
Not having relations with Cuba was a bad policy and so was how the US has treated Iran.

Iran has to give transpeople more rights than Saudi Arabia since Iran forces gay people to undergo sexchange therapy or face execution

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand
BACK TO THE 12th CENTURY
Congratulations! All the advances made in the fields of ethics, philosophy and moral served no purpose at all!
"They have a chance to save their house"
So you 100% approve of the measure, because any other human being with a 0,000000000001 periodic of empathy would say it's bullshit. Moral bullshit.

Correction, it's forced sexual reassignment, they are not given the opportunity to refuse the operation.

We're comparing 2 turds here. Both kill/castrate/imprison gay people but at least Iran recognizes that people can be trans.
Wow. Go Iran... such a progressive country.

Let's not get carried away. Of course what Iran is doing is wrong, but people are mighty quick to forget that the repeal of the sanctions was directly tied to an agreement which prevented Iran from getting the bomb. In the grand scheme of things, this is small potatoes compared to the kind of headaches we would have had with a nuclear-armed Iran.
Moreover, the fact that Iran is so at odds with the west is because of poorly-conducted unilateral diplomacy over the last century. Iran was neutral during WWII but was invaded by the British and Soviets to make sure that supplies and oil could be supplied to the Eastern Front, deposing their leader in the process. The allies promised to leave when the war was over, but the Soviets tried to carve out communist republics from Iranian territory and overstayed their occupation mandate when the war was over.
Later, after legitimate attempts were made by Iran to become a constitutional monarchy, the country's head of government tried to nationalize British oil fields and got into a power struggle with the Shah. The US responded by using the CIA to incite a coup, placing the Shah in total control as a US lapdog, and we know how that ended. But the story keeps getting worse, because right after the revolution, Saddam Hussein decided to invade Iran in a blatant power-grab while they were still unstable, and the western powers actually sent him money to keep the war effort afloat when Iran started to turn the tide. Iraq then used chemical weapons against Iran while the latter refrained from using them.
My point isn't that Iran is justified to meddle in the Palestinian conflict. My point is that the only way to change Iran's behavior is to change our relationship with Iran. If we keep treating them like they don't know what's best for themselves, keep acting like they aren't legitimate, and keep on with threats and sanctions and unilateral actions, Iran will never reintegrate with the global community. We can't choose their leaders for them, so we have to work with that "vile" government and provide them tangible benefits to cooperation.

Your assumption is that they're still not doing it. Their rhetoric, even if monitors [I]at the moment[/I], suggest that they are still arming themselves with nuclear weapons. I am personally not sure how any relations can be held while the ongoing crap is being spouted by their Supreme Leader.

Their government is illegitimate though - the country itself is legitimate, however. Pretending otherwise is an affront to the normal people of Iran - they do nothing in the international community to benefit their own people. Obviously an option to overthrow the government is out of the question (geez, look how that went), but providing them with any benefit (or reducing economic sanctions) is a mistake, simply because they then throw it back in our face, as they have here.

There's nothing fair about this. It does nothing to help absolve the conflict or aid Palestinians. It just incentivizes martydom and further bloodshed.
