I've Been Thinking:

Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz revealed that Iran transferred $1.8 million to Islamic Jihad last month.
The money went from Iran through Syria to Gaza.

Now no one should be surprised that Iran gave Islamic Jihad the money.
The surprise is that Iran gives away very little money away and $1, 800,000 is a lot of money and a very large increase in Iranian funding. So why did they do it?

Reliable threat assessment conducted over the past month points to the probability that Iran and Syria will attempt to attack Israel before the March 28 elections. The assumption is that a large terror attack will destabilize Israel.
The assumption is wrong.

Terror does not destabilize Israel, terror unifies Israel and makes Israel more defiant.
As opposed to giving 1.8 million in humanitarian aid, Iran gave it to murder Israelis.
The truth: Iran does not care about Palestinians, Iran cares about killing Israelis.
