American public’s view of apartheid Zionist regime has changed: Tehran

Nasser Kanaani

Tehran, IRNA – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani has highlighted the drastic shift in public opinion in the United States toward the Zionist regime, saying Americans are entitled to question their country’s support for the occupying regime which comes at the expense of their own interests.

In a Twitter thread published on Sunday, Kanaani said the latest opinion polls in the US demonstrate a “tangible shift” in public opinion across the country toward the “apartheid nature of the [Zionist] regime.”

He alluded to a recent poll by the University of Maryland on the American public’s attitudes on the issue, which shows that 20% of Republicans and 44% of Democrats described Israel as a racist regime similar to the system that existed under apartheid in South Africa in the second half of the 20th century.

Support for the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) movement has also increased in the US, Kanaani said referring to the poll results. 

Certainly, more surprising results will be obtained against the nature and existence of this fake Israeli regime if conditions are right for freedom of speech against the Zionists, America is freed from the control of the Zionist lobby, and a more extensive and independent survey of the American people is conducted, he said.

The spokesman further said that both the general public and the elites in the US are entitled to seek an answer to this question because the American administrations have sacrificed the interests of the people of their country and tens of other countries that they seemingly call “allies” for the benefit of the “usurping, apartheid, undemocratic, and decaying Zionist regime.”
