‘If an opinion survey is done in Britain, a majority of people will reaffirm that the Zionist regime, Israel, is the main threat to the region,’ Iran’s official news agency quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Hasan Qashqavi as saying. What is published and said in Britain has a resonance way beyond these shores. It is closely studied by its enemies, who understand what the myopic west still doesn’t grasp -- that the principal battlefield in this war is the mind. The hatred of and prejudice...
