Israel’s UN Ambassador demands the UN Security Council to debar Iran from membership

In light of the Iranian Presidents comments calling for the destruction of Israel, Sharon has instructed his ambassador to the UN to demand that Iran be bared from the group. After all, how “united” is the UN if members openly call for the destruction of other members?

Do you see the UN an ineffective if there is no unity? Is the UN obsolete as the result of scandal and in fighting?

He acted on instructions from prime minister Ariel Sharon following Iranian president Ahmadinejad’s call to wipe Israel off the map and threat of a Palestinian offensive to destroy the Jewish state. The Iranian president has been universally slammed for his remarks. Sharon said a state which calls for the destruction of another is not fit to be a UN member.

Israel vice Prime Minister Shimon Peres urged the international community to take his threats seriously in the light of Iran’s projects to develop nuclear arms and acquire long-range missiles to deliver them.

Iran sponsors not only the Lebanese Hizballah but also the Palestinian Jihad Islami whose suicide bomber killed 5 Israelis in Hadera market on the same day as the Iranian president made his remarks.

Ahmadinejad told students at a conference in Tehran called The World Without Zionism: “Anyone who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury. Any Islamic leader who recognizes the Zionist regime means he acknowledges the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world.”

I think this is the beginning of UN action against Iran. The UN cannot ignore open threats for very long.

mmmmm.... would that be the same UN that Israel gets to ignore every time a resolution is passed against them?

Some of Israels leaders over the years have also been some of the nastiest racists and bigots to walk the planet, but we're not supposed to mention that are we because it's "anti-semitic", apparently
Sure, there are crazies all over the ME but they are not exclusively Arab.
