Watching ‘Lolita’ in Tel Aviv

Why, at a time when, according to Oxfam, "more women and children are killed in Gaza by Israeli military than any other recent conflict in a single year", should Israel suddenly care about the fate of Iranian women?

At a time when the entire world is aghast and nauseated at the Israeli savagery in Gaza and the rest of Palestine, and as the Israeli army – fully funded and equipped by the US, UK and Germany – is acting like a mad beast attacking LebanonSyria, and Yemen, with repeated provocations against Iran, why would Israel turn to Nafisi and how she assembled, as she claims, a few young Iranian women to read Vladimir Nabokov's pornographic novel with them?
