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.
Thats from an old joke about an imagined New York Times headline:
Asteroid to Destroy Earth In 24 Hours.
Women and Minorities Hardest Hit
Agree, then we better not elect a DUMB to be our next POTUS. Amen.
While the US may see it as a "limited" attack, you have to consider how other countries would see it, especially Iran's allies who would stand up for its defense. That is where the situation becomes unpredictable. What do you think the risk is? Zero? One in ten? One in a hundered? Or Certainty? What risk of all-out nuclear war should we be willing to take as long as we have an alternative?
You thought that? Such a "thought" reflects poorly on your education, reading ability, and thinking processes.
IIRC, the U.S. set off some 90 nukes above ground in New Mexico and Nevada and there are people living there now. Not 10,000 years in the future.
Not on the test ranges. Or, do they... ?
Keep in mind New Mexico and Nevada are bigger than Israel.
