Prof. Gabriela Shalev, Israel's new Ambassador to the United Nations, has taken on Iran and charged President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with words of hate that she warned can lead to a second Holocaust.
In a discussion on a U.N. plan for remembering the Holocaust as the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht
The world must not allow itself to repeat the mistake of allowing verbal Nazi hate to develop into the human destruction that marked the Holocaust.
approaches, she said that words are not strong enough to fight statements by Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called Israel a "cancer" that must be destroyed and has said that the Jewish state should be "wiped off the map."
Prof. Shalev, who succeeded Dan Gillerman several weeks ago, said that the world must not allow itself to repeat the mistake of allowing verbal Nazi hate to develop into the human destruction that marked the Holocaust.
Her remarks were made the same day that Tibor Shalev Schlosser, Israel's Deputy Permanent Representative at the U.N., charged that Iran and the upcoming Durban II conference are fueling the flames of "blind hatred" against Jews and Zionism.
In a statement to a U.N. human rights committee, he explained, "Veiled anti-Semitism, often in the guise of anti-Zionism, must be unmasked…. The President of Iran repeatedly calls for the destruction of Israel [but] many states did not condemn his vile platform of hatred, because, once again, alliances trumped ideals."
Schlosser warned that preparations for the Durban II conference, to be held in the spring, single out Israel among 200 U.N. states for alleged human rights violations.
"Xenophobia and related intolerance" can become a platform of "racial incitement targeting one nation [Israel]. Words may quickly turn into action," he warned.
