It\r\nbecame a dictatorship cloaked in a religious mantle. It developed an\r\nimperial appetite.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nNobody threatens Iran. Iran threatens others. It endangers the\r\nindependence of Arab countries. It menaces the mere existence of\r\nIsrael. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nIt smuggles arms into many countries in order to undermine their\r\nstability.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThey deny the Holocaust. They call for another Holocaust.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThey are aiming to build a nuclear weapon and they deny it. A nuclear\r\nbomb in the hands of an irresponsible regime is an imminent danger to\r\nthe world. [&hellip;]<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn addition to the nuclear bomb, Iran is constructing long-range\r\nmissiles equipped with nuclear warheads. It can reach the far corners\r\nof the world, including Europe. [&hellip;]<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIran supports terrorism throughout the world. Its main proxy,\r\nHezbollah, carries out terror attacks and threatens the stability of\r\nthe entire region. [&hellip;]<br>\r\n<br>\r\nToday, Hezbollah, supported by Iran, is destroying Lebanon. Hezbollah\r\nis a terror organization. Not a political movement. They collect\r\nmissiles. They are trigger-happy. They hide missiles in peaceful towns\r\nand villages. By doing so, they turn them into a war target.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHezbollah divided Lebanon politically, religiously and ethnically. It\r\nturned the land of the cedar tree into a scorched and barren land.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHezbollah is a state within a state. A private army apart from the\r\nnational army. It sends soldiers to support the massacre of a bloody\r\ndictator in Syria. With no authorization of the government of which it\r\nis a member.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nRecently, 20 terror attempts by Hezbollah were counted all over the\r\nworld, in India, Thailand, Georgia, South Africa, the U.S.A., Egypt and\r\nGreece, among others.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nLast month, the government of Bulgaria, a member of this European\r\nUnion, reported that it had identified that the terror attack in\r\nBurgas, was carried out by Hezbollah. Five Israeli tourists and one\r\nBulgarian citizen lost their lives. [&hellip;]<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDistinguished Members of the [European] Parliament,<br>\r\n<br>\r\nYour voice is highly respected. We appeal to you &ndash; call\r\nterror &ndash; terror. Save Lebanon from terrorist madness. Save\r\nthe Syrian people from Iran&rsquo;s proxies. Save your citizens and\r\nours from Hezbollah. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe international community must designate Hezbollah as a terrorist\r\norganization. [&hellip;]<br>\r\n<br>\r\n[The free world] cannot stand by when a massacre is carried out by the\r\nSyrian president against his own people and his own children. It breaks\r\nall our hearts.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAssad secretly built a nuclear installation and an arsenal of chemical\r\nweapons.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWhile the nuclear installation was destroyed in time (*), the chemical\r\narms remain in his hands to this very day. This terrible danger\r\nthreatens the Syrian people, the entire region and even Europe.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nA solution must be found to prevent the chemical weapons from falling\r\ninto the wrong hands.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The\r\nbest solution to put an end to the Syrian tragedy might be achieved by\r\nempowering the Arab League, of which Syria is a member, to intervene.<\/span><br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe intervention of Western forces would be perceived as a foreign\r\ninterference.<br>\r\n<br style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The\r\nArab League can and should form a provisional government in Syria to\r\nstop the massacre, to prevent Syria from falling to pieces<\/span>.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The\r\nUnited Nations should support an Arab force in blue helmets.<\/span><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n(*)&nbsp; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Mr Peres refers to the\r\nSeptember 2007 Israeli Air Force bombing raid on Syria through\r\nTurkey&rsquo;s airspace.<\/span><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n_________________________<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Video:\r\n&nbsp;<\/span> &nbsp;<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAddress\r\nby Shimon PERES, President of Israel<br>\r\n<br>\r\nEC Audiovisual Service website, 12 March 2013<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n_________________________<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Related\r\narticles:<\/span><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIsrael:\r\nA de facto member of NATO<br>\r\n<br>\r\nby Prof Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, 9 March 2013<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n&nbsp;<br>\r\nIsrael\r\nlobby is actively promoting war on Iran<br>\r\n<br>\r\nby Stephen Lendman, Global Research, 5 March 2013<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n&nbsp;<br>\r\n&ldquo;Greater\r\nIsrael&rdquo;: The Zionist plan for the Middle East<br>\r\n<br>\r\nby Israel Shahak, Global Research, 2 March 2013<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBulgaria\r\nattack: An Israeli false flag operation?<br>\r\n<br>\r\nby Yusuf Fernandez, Al-Manar, 12 February 2013<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n&nbsp;<br>\r\nWashington\r\nOK&rsquo;s Israeli aggression on Syria<br>\r\n<br>\r\nby Stephen Lendman, Global Research, 3 February 2013<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n&nbsp;<br>\r\nHidden\r\nUS-Israeli military agenda: &ldquo;Break Syria into\r\npieces&rdquo;<br>\r\n<br>\r\nby Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, 31 January 2013<br>\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>\r\n<br>\r\n&nbsp;<br>\r\nIsraeli\r\nattack on Syria: Desperate bid to save failed US-NATO covert war<br>\r\n<br>\r\nby Tony Cartalucci, Global Research, 31 January 2013<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n&nbsp;<br>\r\n\"Those\r\nwho seek to destroy Israel\": Endless fear mongering by Prime Minister\r\nNetanyahu<br>\r\n<br>\r\npropaganda alert by Cem Ert&uuml;r, Indybay, 29 January 2013<br>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><\/span><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nSyria\r\nunder fire: Zionist destabilization hits critical mass<br>\r\n<br>\r\nby Jonathan Azaziah, Mask of Zion, 14 August 2011<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n_________________________\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n","contact":"","link":"http:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2013\/03\/14\/18733572.php","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/html","summary":"Israeli President Shimon Peres has received a standing ovation at the European Parliament after delivering an extremely bellicose speech which demonised Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and called for an Arab League-led invasion and occupation of Syria.
