Israelis, masters of time? It is in any case the conviction of an Iranian general, who accused on Monday the Jewish State of "flights of clouds" to explain the terrible drought which overwhelms its territory. As reported in a widely relayed AFP dispatch and whose sobriety style only adds to the absurdity of the allegations, Gholam Reza Jalali, commander of the Iranian Pbadive Defense, said at a symposium that the "Climate change in Iran is suspect". The work of a "foreign interference", and more precisely that of "Israel and another country of the region" (here, we imagine the military to take an insistent look at Riyadh, the Sunni enemy), able "to ensure that the clouds that enter the Iranian sky are unable to dump the rain."
While one On the same day, an attack on a rally of Iranian opponents in the Paris suburbs was foiled in Brussels (Tehran saw an American machination), General Jalali's poetic conspiracy was a comical interlude and a humorous outburst for the Israelis. We will remember the joke of a colleague, speaking loudly about a very Mossad time … The conspiracy commander was ridiculed by a fellow countryman, Ahad Vazife, the director of the national meteorology, who felt the need to remind the semi-official agency Isna that a "country can not fly clouds", adding, with reference to California droughts, that "if that were the case, […] the Americans would steal the clouds of other countries ". CQFD
Nevertheless, if the Israelis have the good luck to mock parano-meteoric delusions, a controversy may have nourished the ramblings of the Persian general. At the end of December, Israeli Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel, confronted with four years of winter drought, organized a mbad prayer at the expense of the taxpayer at the Wailing Wall. This figure of the most radical religious Zionism, a member of the Jewish Home party, then chartered busloads of farmers from colonies to which he had asked to bring umbrellas in order to "tear the sky". In the presence of the two chief rabbis, 2,500 people prayed for the rain to fall. If the secular left had screamed at the waste of public money, the result (or, more surely, the coincidence) was immediate: torrents of water fell on the Galilee and the Golan. Mystics and conspiracy of the Middle East have this in common to have their heads in the clouds.
