More hand-slapping from the UN. (via Free Republic) Will Ban follow through with his comments? doubt it…
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Dan Gillerman met with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on Wednesday to express “outrage” over recent statements by Iranian officials calling for the destruction of Israel.
Ban agreed to meet on very short notice and said such statements were “unacceptable and unforgivable,” according to Gillerman, who also stressed the need for a “quick and strong” resolution to prevent Iran from pursuing its nuclear ambitions.
In the hour-long conversation, Gillerman said it was “outrageous for a member state to use racist, Nazi-like statements against another member state.”
In yet another verbal attack against Israel Wednesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the Jewish state a “filthy bacteria” whose sole purpose was to oppress the other nations of the region.
“The world powers established this filthy bacteria, the Zionist regime, which is lashing out at the nations in the region like a wild beast,” the Iranian president told supporters at a rally in southern Iran.
