As world marks Int'l Holocaust Day, PM decries silence over Iran’s annihilative ambitions (Jerusalem Post)
" Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu railed against what he termed the world’s silence over Iran’s stated desire to destroy the State of Israel on Monday, in remarks on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Even now the world doesn’t cry out against a state calling for Israel’s destruction, and instead warmly greets Iran’s leader, he said, adding that this is happening even though there is wide agreement that more should have been done to prevent the Holocaust.
“Facing a country openly calling for the destruction of the state of the Jews, everyone is clearing their throats and smiling in front of the smiles,” Netanyahu said.
The world’s attitude toward Israel is out of all proportion to the issues on the agenda, Netanyahu added, and is a continuation of thousands of years of anti-Semitism..."
Netanyahu om Iran vid regeringssammanträdet i söndags:
Cabinet communique (MFA)
"...I must say that the main interest was in regard to Iran's 'assault of pleasantness.' Here, perhaps in contrast to what was depicted in the talks with the leaders, there was greater sharpness and greater clarity regarding the contradictory and mendacious messages that came up in Rouhani's speech. Rouhani said that Iran was against international involvement in Syria, but Iran is the country that is most involved and aids the Assad regime in perpetrating mass slaughters on a daily basis.
He said that he was against the killing of innocents, but several
days previously dozens of people were executed in Iran, most of whom, I
can assure you, were innocent. He said that they favored free access to
technology even as Iran denies its citizens free access to the Internet.
He said that he favored the recognition of all countries in the Middle
East and refused to answer the pointed questions that were directed to
him about recognizing the State of Israel. The regime there calls for
our destruction on an almost daily basis. Finally, the most important
and most significant thing, Rouhani said that Iran would not dismantle
even one centrifuge.
If Iran persists in saying this it means that the permanent
agreement, which is the goal of any diplomatic process with Iran, cannot
succeed. In effect, Iran is insisting on maintaining its ability to
attain [enough] fissionable material for a bomb without any time
constraints following the breakthrough. This means that many of the
things which we have been saying will come true – are indeed coming
true. Of course, there was also an attempt there to break through the
sanctions regime. US Secretary of State Kerry told me that the US would
act in order to maintain the existing sanctions, which is important, but
it is important to see the test of its implementation.
In any case, Iranian President Rouhani's remark that Iran would not
dismantle even one centrifuge, alongside the interview given by the
'exceedingly moderate' Foreign Minister Zarif, in which he made it clear
that Iran has an ideological agenda that brings it into perpetual
conflict with the West and with the US, because it aspires to see a
different world, a different world order, and you know what he means,
the combination of these two remarks is causing people to understand
that the reality vis-à-vis Iran is not rosy. There is a problem here. We
know the truth. There is a regime here that, under cover of an assault
of smiles, is trying to arm itself with nuclear weapons, to reach the
status of a threshold state that could achieve nuclear weapons very
quickly, and a country that has not changed its true ideology at all..."
