Do you think Israel would quit threatening them if they declared Israel had the right to exist and had no intention of attacking Isreal or helping others to?
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iran, whose president has vowed to wipe Israel off the map, complained to the United Nations on Wednesday that the Jewish state was repeatedly threatening to bomb it.
The threats were "matters of extreme gravity" and the U.N. Security Council should condemn them and demand that Israel "cease and desist immediately from the threat of the use of force against members of the United Nations," Iranian U.N. Ambassador Javad Zarif said.
His comments, which came in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan dated November 10 and circulated at the United Nations on Wednesday, prompted a quick rejoinder from John Bolton, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
"I would say this is perhaps an example of the Iranians trying to learn 'chutzpah,"' Bolton told reporters, using a Yiddish word for unmitigated gall or outrageously arrogant behavior.
