Israels UN envoy Gillerman warns of Hamas venture into politics, saying Islamic group is forming axis of evil with Syria and Iran; Adds terror triangle likely to instigate first World War of the 21st century if not stopped
WASHINGTON - Israels ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Gillerman, on Tuesday warned of a new terror axis between Iran, Syria and Hamas, which could kick start the first world war of the 21st century.
Addressing the U.N. Security Council on a quarterly session to discuss international terrorism, Gillerman asked council members if their governments would agree to al-Qaeda or the Kurdish group PKK running in elections.
Imagine al-Qaeda or the PKK running in elections? A dictators democracy is a dangerous false impression, Gillerman told the Council.
Gillerman warned of Hamas venture in politics, saying the world is witnessing a new alliance between Iran, Syria and Hamas, which constitutes an axis of terror.
Gillerman evoked Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamadinejads January visit to Syria and the warm welcome in Tehran of Hamas leaders this week. Political leader Khaled Mashaal led a Hamas delegation to Iran where he said Iran will play a more central role in Palestinian affairs after guarantees for financial backing to the Palestinian government from the Islamic Republic.
This new terror axis poses a big threat to regional and world stability, and is a recipe for the worst ever plague. If we ignore this imminent threat, the axis of evil will be the seeds of the first world war of the 21st century, Gillerman said.
He called on the international community to take seriously Syria, Hamas and Irans joint effort and to act seriously to prevent Iran, an extremist and dangerous government that supports terror, from acquiring the knowledge to develop nuclear arms.
Gillerman said that the democratic elections in the Palestinian Authority cannot cover up Hamas extreme ideology which calls for the destruction of Israel. He invited Council members to read Hamas charter, a key provision of which calls for the murder of Jews and the annihilation of the Jewish state.
First WW of the 21st century won't last very long.
For Tel Aviv?
Or Washington D.C.?
Either way, Damascus and Tehran stand an excellent chance of being incinerated. The Syrians wouldn't want to risk it but certain fanatical Iranians apparently would.
Agree.
The evil axis also includes the United Arab Emirates, a nation that does not recognize Israel's right to exist.
Yes I know. Very few Arab nations recognize that. We are theone nation that does support Israel.
Would that coming battle be called the "gAlamo"?
last count was 200 nuclear warheads I think...
The arab middle east will completely cease to exist. Bet on it.
HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAA...excellent. I had added the "gal" part to the tagline for an old thread discussing mail order brides from foreign countries. I never took it off.
Sure..but unlike the "alamo", we'll win this one.
I think the decisive battle needed to bring peace to the so-called palestinian territories is now virtually inevitable.
The ascendancy of the insane Iranian despot, and Hamas as a "government", plus Syria's complicity, mean that only a concerted effort by remaining arab capitols can help the wolrd avoid this war. I am pessimistic that they will have the political courage or motivation to do what they need to do.
You were DIA?
If they dared. Israel may have as many as 400 nukes. Plenty left over for Cairo and Riyadh.
Medina and Mecca too, if it comes to that.
The time is coming where we have to take out the trash because the stench is so putried it's lethal.
Apart from the Babylonians, the Macedonians, the Romans, the Seleucids, the Byzantines and the Arabs.
Israel bump.
I saw it even before 9/11. Many of us here at that time did. It is quite inevitable but I believe also it will be the last one. About the only thing that could stop it is a pandemic of bird flu world wide. Yes we would lose some of our population but not near as many that these third world countries that harbor Islamofacist, or the results of nuclear weapons being used. Puting on tinfoil here but this bird flu was just widely publicised only about 3-4 years ago. Coinkydinky, maybe, maybe not.
I am sure as soon as they get 1 A bomb they will try to use it on Israel immediately. A strike while the iron is hot thing.
Because of their religious beliefs they won't worry about being killed in a retalitory attack. They believe they are going to paradise with Allah.
Some countries have dozens of A bombs and crazy things can happen with irresponsible leaders. - Tom
The war's been on for a while, we just need the rest of the world to join in, and we need to get a little more serious ourselves.
huge war coming folks... this is just the fringes...
China will also test the next President. They tested Bush about March of his first year.
