Israel calls for tough UN action on 'demented' Iran
'Israel's ambassador to the United Nations Sunday urged the Security Council to take tough measures against "demented" Iran for its nuclear program in the wake of North Korea's declared atomic test.
"The international community should learn the lessons of what occurred in North Korea," Danny Gillerman told army radio. "North Korea was only the preview. Iran will be the feature film, which, if no one takes serious action, will be projected throughout the whole world."
Gillerman called for "much harder sanctions to be imposed on a demented Iranian regime that seeks to destroy a UN member state (Israel), and totally denies the Holocaust, while preparing to perpetrate a second Holocaust."'
This from a country that spent weeks devasting Lebanon, killing a thousand civilians and making the best part of a million homeless. Still, at least they have enormous experience of what it means to be 'demented'.
