Livni: Ahmadinejad speech makes mockery of UN vow of 'never again'
12:29 24/09/2008
The head of the ruling Kadima party, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, blasted the United Nations on Wednesday for granting Iran's president a platform to deliver an address against "Zionist murderers" that contradicted its vow to prevent another Holocaust.
"[Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad's speech makes the situation absurd for an organization that raised the banner of 'Never Again' upon its establishment," said Livni. After winning a Kadima leadership primary, she was invited by President Shimon Peres on Monday to form the next coalition government.
Ahmadinejad, in an address that opened with a long discourse on God, justice and morality, told the 192-nation UN General Assembly on Tuesday that a few "deceitful" Zionists were manipulating Americans and Europeans and controlled the world's financial and monetary systems.
Livni continued: "The ultimate [challenge] is still ahead of us as Iran requests to join the UN Security Council. The significance would be to let a criminal become his own judge. "It is absurd that a state unparalleled in threatening the security of its neighbors and calling for the destruction of another state should be a member of a body whose goal is to further global security."
