Between 2010 and 2015 I was one of a number of Israelis who had meetings with Iranians in third-party countries – in Germany, Austria, the UK, Cyprus, Greece and on the Japanese Peace Boat in the Mediterranean Sea. During that period there was a series of regional encounters seeking to promote the idea of a Weapons of Mass Destruction Free Zone in the Middle East, with civil society representatives from all the countries in the region. Some of them were convened by Dr. Bernd Kubbig of the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt, some were held in the context of facilitation led by the Finnish Under Secretary of State Jaakko Laajava, and one was convened by an Iranian-born German Professor Mohssen Massarrat, with the aid of the German branch of International Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), who convened a Conference on Security and Cooperation in the Middle East.

They were held in the build up towards the 2015 NPT (Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons) Review Conference, a conference held at the UN in New York every 5 years. Among the Iranians who participated in the encounters were academics, former diplomats and civil society activists. Not only did we engage each other around the conference tables, we also had meals together with informal talks. Egyptian, Israeli, Palestinian, Jordanian, Lebanese and Iranian participants in the Horizon 2012 initiative on the Japanese Peace Boat, together with Hibakusha survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who testify about the horrors of nuclear war at every port (Photo: Japanese Peace Boat). War clouds looming on the horizon I look back at these encounters in the context of today’s news and headlines.

We know that Iran has a military presence in Syria, and during the past few months five strikes against sites in Syria associated with Iran have been attributed to Israel. IDF Chief of Staff Eisenkot: “Iran has not attacked anyone in the past 1,400 years”. Unfortunately,the Chief of Staff’s observation only appeared in the print edition of the Hebrew daily, did not appear online in Hebrew or in English, and it deserves much broader circulation. The fact is that all of the recent Iranian comments about the possibility of attacking Israel have been threats of retaliation if they are attacked. Iran actually was attacked four times in the 20th century: 1) By the British, Russian, Ottoman and German armies during WW I; 2) By the British and the Soviet armies during WW II, despite the fact that the Iranians declared neutrality in both world wars; 3) In 1953 by the Americans when the CIA overthrew the liberal regime of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh which had dared to nationalize Iranian oil; and 4) By Saddam Hussein and the Iraqis with chemical warfare between 1980-1990, with the support of the Americans. A Peace Museum in Tehran for Victims of Chemical Warfare During the Iran-Iraq War, it is estimated that between 50,000 and 100,000 young Iranians were victims of Iraqi chemical weapons, including at least 20,000 killed. How many people know that there is a museum devoted to the victims of chemical weapon warfare in Iran, I met the founder of the museum, twice, at the regional conferences on the Japanese Peace Boat.

He told me that it was his generation that was decimated by the Iran-Iraq War, and his peers were the targets of the nerve gas attacks. He even wanted to include the Nazi Holocaust gas chamber victims in the museum, but was told that the conservative Ayatollah regime might be upset by that. Iran Supports the Arab Peace Initiative We know that Iranian demonstrators, usually organized by the conservative Revolutionary Guards, shout “death to the Zionists,” and we periodically hear Iranian generals saying that Israel should be “wiped off the map” and they provide arms to Hezbollah. If President Trump can meet with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, why can’t he meet with Iranian President Rouhani?

(Photo: Montage: Wikipedia) Is it totally inconceivable that Prime Minister Netanyahu would issue a challenge to President Rouhani to meet with him to resolve their differences in a peaceful manner, for the benefit of both the Israeli and the Iranian peoples? Is he incapable of following in the footsteps of his Likud predecessor Prime Minister Menachem Begin when he met with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, leading to the end of the conflict between Israel and Egypt? If Netanyahu is incapable of doing this, then hopefully we Israelis will have the sense to elect an alternative leadership that will. We should remember that before Sadat’s historic visit to Jerusalem, he was vilified by the Israelis as a pro-Nazi sympathizer.

Afterwards he became a hero of peace. It’s not too late to talk.
