Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky told The Jerusalem Post this week that the support of the free world is critical for those Iranians deciding whether they should take an active part in demonstrations.
“When there is a critical mass of people who say they don’t accept the regime, it falls; but for this, millions have to be ready to say that,” said Sharansky, who spent nine years in the Soviet gulag for his dissident and human-rights activities. “If the impression is that the government has a free hand to do what it wants, that the world will allow it to do what it wants, then it will keep people from crossing the line.”
