Iran Condemns Israel for Violation of Human Rights
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Iran denounced what it called Israel's "horrific human rights record" in a letter to the UN secretary-general.
In the Iranian letter, obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday, the country's UN ambassador Mohammad Khazaee said his government would not respond to "baseless allegations and distortions about the situation of human rights" in Iran.
Israel's "futile" attempt "to raise allegations against others' human rights situation is nothing but a preposterous, and indeed tired, practice to distract the international community's attention from its shameful human rights record," he said.
Khazaee was responding to a June 19 letter from Israel's deputy UN ambassador Daniel Carmon to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, which urged the international community to denounce Iran's "systemic, grave, and widespread" violation of human rights.
The Israeli letter cited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust and his calls for Israel's destruction.
Khazaee's four-page letter cites UN human rights reports condemning Israel's treatment of Palestinians and "its discriminatory behavior toward the Arabs who have lived under its brute rule for the past six decades."
A majority of UN member states have long argued that Israel is held to a different standard than other countries, and that it routinely denies Palestinians in the occupied territories fundamental rights.
is outrageous having in mind what they did just recently > http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/2779
I am sick of Zionist objections about horrifying human rights abuse in Muslims countries which are really insignificant to their crimes against humanity. They call Saddam a war criminal but they killed more innocent Iraqis than 100 Saddams could ever do. Now its time to accuse other Muslim leaders of same crime so that the world may see how Zionist devils are little democratic angels. Muslim regimes are corrupt and selfish but by far much less lethal than so called western democracy that wrecks havoc in most of the third world. I don't know what is more disgusting Zionist regime in Israel or complicit West that legalize it all through the satanic UN hellraiser.
"Let there be Light!"
Let it all be written in every record and in the minds of every human being on earth.
zionism is racism and it must end.

"Money" has no value - people do.
"The Israeli letter cited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust and his calls for Israel's destruction".
OK, let Israel prove its allegations in original quotes, not in media fabricated lies like the story about the Iranian procurement program for 250 advanced Russian fighter jets (which might not be a bad idea at all).
Bring them on!
