Sadly, the rabidly anti-Israel U.N. eats this stuff up.
Via Haaretz:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took the podium on Wednesday at the UN General Assembly in New York, a day after U.S. President Barack Obama said the United States will “do what it must” to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Ahmadinejad said that “arms race and intimidation by nuclear weapons and weapons of mass-‘destruction by the hegemonic powers have become prevalent,” and that “continued threat by the uncivilized Zionists toresort to military action against our great nation is a clear example of this bitter reality.”
As the Iranian president spoke, protesters took to the streets outside the UN building, many of them Iranian-Americans, demanding Iran’s UN seat be taken away from the Islamic Republic.
