Peres calls Ahmadinejad a disgrace to his own people
Addressing the UN General Assembly the day after Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli and anti-American diatribe, Israeli president Shimon Peres accused him of dredging up the ugliest libel plot ever devised against the Jewish people-the Elders of Zion.Iran is enriching uranium and building long-range missiles, said Peres. “It has introduced a religion of fear which defies the call of the Lord to respect all human life.” Ahmadinejad, said the Israeli president, is a danger to his own people, the region and the world, He is a disgrace to the ancient Iranian people, the values of Islam and the basic principles of the United Nations. “His appearance shames this house,” the Israeli president declared.Tuesday, the Iranian president won applause when he reviled “the Zionist regime” as “on a definite slope to collapse” and shouted “The American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road.” The only delegates to leave the chamber were the UN, Israeli and Georgian ambassadors. There were no other protests or walkouts.
