Iran Urges UN to Condemn Israel -Edith M. Lederer

Iran urged the UN Security Council to condemn Israel over Prime Minister Olmert's warning that all options were on the table when it comes to keeping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Israeli UN Ambassador Dan Gillerman responded: "For a country whose leader describes a member state of the United Nations as a dirty microbe and a savage animal, to complain about others' statements is the height of hypocrisy," noting this was "coming from a country which is the world's major sponsor and exporter of terror."

He is an odious leader and there are signs even his country no longer gives him the support he once seemed to enjoy. But the Israelis hit it right on the mark. There is no greater hypocrisy then when Iran criticizes anyone else, for just about anything.
