Israel urges united front against Iran
Press TV
Thursday, Nov 20, 2008
Israel has urged major sides engaged in Tehran’s nuclear case to set aside their divisions in order to focus on Iran’s nuclear program.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the US and Europe had to set aside their differences with China and Russia as divisions were inhibiting efforts to put up a united front against Iran, Bloomberg reported.
Barak also accused Iran of nuclear weapons proliferation, stressing Tehran’s alleged threat could be defeated only through “a paradigm shift in international relationships”.
Washington and Moscow are at loggerheads over Russia’s opposition to the US plan to deploy missile shield systems in Europe and the Czech Republic. The US says the plan is aimed at confronting Iran’s threat. Russia, however, rejects the claims.

Meanwhile, the US and some western countries accuse China of violating human rights in Tibet. China, however, accuses the US and the EU of complicating the issue in Tibet.
Russia and China say they are against the Western powers’ call for fresh sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program.
“Russia is against the sanctions pushed forward by some of the six [the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, US, Britain, France, Russia and China, plus Germany],” Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Riabkov told Interfax.
“The Western countries are for the sanctions. China like Russia did not back it,” he added.
His comments came one day after the meeting of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany in Paris on November 13. They have imposed three rounds of sanctions against Iran.
Israel, the possessor of the sole nuclear arsenal in the Middle East, along with the United States and its European allies accuse Iran of seeking to develop nuclear arms. But, the UN nuclear watchdog, which has extensively monitored Iran’s nuclear activities since 2003, concedes that it is not in a position to fully clarify the nature of the Iranian nuclear program.
Israel and the US have repeatedly threatened Iran with military action, they says ‘all options are on the table’ when it comes to halting the development of Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran insists the program is intended for peaceful purposes only.

No Israel does not have nuclear weapons because it is against US law to give any such country financial aid.
Also Iran has had its nuclear facilities internationally inspected. How about Israel?
Finally what about our investment in “Atoms For Peace”? No one should listen to these war mongers!

The criminals wish to steal the oil under Iranian sand. Nothing more. Is there anyone who still believes these silly little marags.

Ehud Barak is full of it!
It seems to me the only “paradigm shift in international relationships” that needs to occur is that more people need to wake up about the filtered and buried truth of Israeli actions in the Middle East.
Oh, and the whole “chosen people thing”, give it a rest already!

It is maybe time to get an united front against Israel and its inhuman politics, no ?

I don’t buy any of this propaganda. And who do we think we are being the world police, anyhow? Israel has them, Pakistan, India- why wouldn’t they want them? Why can’t we be peaceful trading partners and get along? This is all about controlling us, not Iran. It’s in congress’s best interest to get us into a war so we don’t blame them for what’s their fault, pure and simple.

I was quite surprised to find that Iran was helped by America with its nuclear Project when the Shah of iran was in control .
Israel has the weapons since the 50s (and that s why JFK had to go probably ) vanunu exposed them . but the IAEA has no right to inspect Dimona , because Israel is above the LAW , we have to deal with with and grow up like some right wing fanatics tell us .
America has the weapons and actually USED THEM , Britain , france , Korea , India Pakistan , france , even Brazil have them . Iran does not have them the IAEA and the cIA have not found the smoking gun yet . It is what Underneath Iran Soil that is desired , and it has plenty of OIl and Gas . Before the rule of general MOssadegh , Iran oil was used freely by the US and britain (BP ) but when the general nationalized the oil , He had to go and be replaced by the Puppet Shah , which provided plenty of it to Israel too .
