Eilat (Israel) (AFP) - Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the world of "hypocrisy" over Iran on Monday as he unveiled a shipment of arms allegedly dispatched to Gaza by Tehran.
Standing in front of a vast display of weapons seized last week from a vessel in the Red Sea, Netanyahu launched a blistering attack on the West over its apparent disregard for Iran's alleged attempts to supply longer-range rockets to Palestinian militants.
In a highly-publicised speech from Eilat port, where the weapons had been unloaded, Netanyahu said he had only heard a handful of "softly-worded condemnations of Iran" over its "murderous delivery" which came to light just days before EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton made a landmark visit to Tehran.
"We have been witness to the smiles and the handshakes between representatives of the West and the heads of the Iranian regime in Tehran, even as these missiles were being unloaded here in Eilat," he said.

Could it be because the international community doesn't believe the Israelis?
Iran had already said it had no part in that shipment.
Israel supposedly has evidence that Iran planned the shipment but thus far have not disclosed those details.
I do not remember a time in recent history where Israel's declarations were disregarded so easily.
I wonder if this is enough reason for Israel to luanch an attack, using this as a excuse.
Btw, I love the backdrop of pointed missiles behind the PM.

I think both Benny and John McCain should have dinner together since they both are drooling at the thought of going to war with Iran. Maybe after dinner they could both straddle one of those missiles behind Benny and ride them into Iran like Slim Pikens.

What is interesting to me is that the sheer number of missiles greatly outsizes the space on the boat these were found with cement covering them. Granted, there could have been other cavities, but the video showed small tight quarters.
