Israel responded to an Iranian protest over “dangerous” comments by Israeli officials, saying Wednesday it is “absurd” for a country whose president has repeatedly called for the Jewish state’s destruction to preach morality in international affairs.
Israel’s new U.N. ambassador, Gabriela Shalev, responded in a statement Wednesday saying that “it is absurd that Iran preaches morality to Israel.”
“Iran’s president repeatedly denies the Holocaust and calls _ again and again _ for the destruction of the state of Israel,” she said.
Shalev said Ahmadinejad leads a country “that develops nuclear capabilities endangering the entire world.”
“As such, Iran is under United Nations sanctions for its non-compliance with the international community,” she said. “Furthermore, Iran openly and actively supports and arms terrorist organizations.” - Source (NewsMax)
