Iran 236


Israel mag de buurt terroriseren met de dreiging van nucleaire wapens, maar Iran mag van westerse politici zich niet daartegen verdedigen door zelf kernbommen te ontwikkelen. Zo simpel ligt het en dat beseft de hele wereld, alleen de westerse pers doet alsof zijn neus bloedt.

'British PM Warns Iran in Landmark Israel Speech
By AFP21/07/08 -- - JERUSALEM (AFP) —

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown warned Iran on Monday it must freeze sensitive nuclear work or face more sanctions, in the first address by a British premier to the Israeli parliament.He also railed against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's "abhorrent" threats against Israel and declared that Britain stands alongside the Jewish state.Brown, who held talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders on Sunday, said peace was within their grasp, but only if Israel withdraws from settlements in the occupied West Bank and the Palestinians stamp out "terrorists".His comments on Iran's nuclear drive echoed a warning by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that Tehran had two weeks to respond seriously to an international offer or face further "punitive measures.""Iran now has a clear choice to make: suspend its nuclear programme and accept our offer of negotiations or face growing isolation and the collective response not of just one nation but of all nations round the world," Brown said."Just as we have led the work on three mandatory sanctions resolutions of the UN, the UK will continue to lead -- with the United States and our European Union partners -- in our determination to prevent an Iranian nuclear weapons programme."The White House, meanwhile, signalled that it expected Iran to reject the US-backed incentives package."It is the position of the P5-plus-one that Iran should suspend its uranium enrichment, that we provided a very generous incentives package that they apparently are going to miss an opportunity to accept," said a spokeswoman.In Paris, Solana also said a negative response from Iran would likely trigger further sanctions."Our relationship with Iran is a relationship of tracks, the political track, the diplomatic ... but at the same time a commitment to continue in New York," he told reporters after a meeting with European MPs."If there is no agreement on this, the United Nations will continue."Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that Israel "highly appreciates" Brown's "determination... (on the) issue of terrorism and Iranian nuclear armament.'

Het hele idee dat uranium verrijking gelijkstaat aan de capaciteit wapens te maken is propaganda. Zie http://www.antiwar.com/prather/?articleid=4016

Waarom gaan al deze heldhaftige waarschuwingen niet in op dit onderscheid? Moeten wij in Borssele en Petten dan ook maar stoppen met onze activiteiten, op straffe van internationale sancties en Israelische bommen?

"Zo simpel ligt het":
journalistiek a la Van Houcke is voor simpele mensen.

beste anonimus,
niet alleen de journalistiek is simpel, maar vooral ook feiten, althans, zodra je bereid bent de ogen te openen.
succes
