The same old hypocrisy in redux
Netanyahu slams world’s hypocrisy in not strongly condemning Iran’s arms shipment to Gaza
As PM visits Eilat naval base where contents of Iranian weapons ship Klos C unveiled, he says today Tehran hides shipments of long range missiles, tomorrow it will hide “nuclear suitcases.”
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu blasted the world’s hypocrisy on Monday, saying there is a wave of condemnation of Israel when it “builds a balcony in Jerusalem,” but only a drizzle of censure when Iran tries to smuggle long-range missiles into Gaza.
Netanyahu, standing at a naval base in Eilat in front of rows of interdicted Syrian missiles and Iranian mortar shells, said that there are those in the world who did not want Israel to show the intercepted ordnance because they were not interested in knowing what was truly happening inside Iran, but rather to “develop the illusion that Iran has changed direction.”
“But the facts,” Netanyahu said, “prove the exact opposite.” Without mentioning EU policy chief Catherine Ashton by name, he did refer critically to her current visit to Iran.
