Israel and Iran
Via the Guardian: the Israeli press has recently revealed (Hebrew stories here, here) that Israel buys oil from Iran, using European intermediaries and a joint Iranian-Israeli pipeline front company created in 1968. This despite Israel's official policy of sanctions, its condemnation of Switzerland for buying Iranian oil.
I think it's pretty clear from this and many other indicators that Israel's portrayal of Iran as Enemy #1 (and similarly by AIPAC and the Bush administration) is a lot more nuanced and complex than it appears. This should be a warning for anyone who is eager to go to war with Iran, such as a certain presidential candidate.
