Iran slams 'Herzliya incitement'
Islamic Republic website says last week’s conference used 'for incitement against our civil nuclear program,’ urges Palestinians to ‘fight Israeli occupation, not each other’
The condemnation has appeared on a weekly sum-up of news on the IRIB's Hebrew-language section, aimed, according to the website "at the Jewish audience so it knows the truth."
The IRIB said the Herzliya Conference was "certainly not representative of the Israeli political map," adding that "many US experts attempted to use the conference to blur the foundations of Middle East conflicts in general, and the Arab-Israeli conflict in particular."
"During the conference, there was open incitement against Iran's civil nuclear program. Participants such as Richard Perle said there was no doubt that aggressive and determined action was needed against Iran, and he did not mince his words," the article said.

"We do not want to highlight the declarations of the Israeli organizers of the Herzliya Conference, because it is natural that they stand united in one line behind the American position, which used the conference to open another front in its aggressive war against the Islamic Republic," the IRIB added.
"This makes Herzliya eligible for the title of 'the anti-Iran incitement conference."
In its coverage of the Palestinian suicide bomb attack on Eilat Tuesday, the IRIB's Hebrew section said the attack "shows the internal conflicts are a big loss for the Palestinians, and that the real battle must be against Israeli occupation."
