Have we not suffered enough for the past 45 years that we now have to be used as pawns for your fantasies about war with Israel? Leave us alone. We don't want that.

Then just come out and say that. Say you support the Islamic Republic in their continued aggressions that put everybody's lives at risk, but don't say Iran? For two years, we asked him to come out and say, free Iran, and now you want to speak up to put our lives at risk and say, go to war, Iran. You are no friend to the Iranian people for that."
