"Israel the warden of the world’s biggest open prison –Gaza, dares to stand here
once again and make a statement filled with despicable lies,” Farhad Mamdouhi
said in a speech, addressing a UNGA meeting in New York on Thursday.
"No amount of slur, no amount of lie, no amount of fabrication would cover up
the criminal nature of Israel,” he added.
Following is the full text of the Iranian diplomat’ speech:
In the Name God the Beneficent the Merciful
Mr. President,
In the exercise right of reply, my delegation wishes to respond to the statement
made today by the Israeli PM.
The Israeli regime has long history in following opportunistic policy to mislead
others. The intention of this psychological projection behavior is to divert
attention from its inhumane and savage actions against Palestinians and other
Arab nations.
This has brought so much suffering, caused so many crises and sown so much
instability and anger throughout the region. Israel Regime continues to be the
top spoiler of peace and stability in such volatile region as the Middle East.
The Israeli showman misses no opportunity particularly to accuse Iran. His
fallacies in his statement confirm his pathological tendency to tell monstrous
lies and distort reality. This is to distract the attention from his regime’s
inherent cruelty and brutality against Palestinians; to cover up the killing of
defenseless women and innocent children; to hide the fact that millions of
Palestinians are being taken hostage by Israel for decades; to mask Israel’s
face as the last apartheid regime in the world; to conceal the reality that this
is the only regime in the world that openly practices racism and recently
legalized it.
Israel the warden of the world’s biggest open prison –Gaza, dares to stand here
once again and make a statement filled with despicable lies. No amount of slur,
no amount of lie, no amount of fabrication would cover up the criminal nature of
Israel.
This is a dreadfully regressive and undemocratic regime led by a corrupt leader
who pretends to be progressive and democratic. Israeli PM’s ethno-religious
fantasies are indeed very close to the other extremists namely Daesh.
Israel’s absurd claim of being democratic echoes similar assertions that Nazis
used to make before dragging the whole world into destruction. A democracy for
racists and supremacists democracy that crushes dreams of the true owners of
Palestine for self-determination. That is a mockery of democracy; that is the
tyranny of racists. In fact, Israel is the enemy of democracy in the Middle
East. It hates democracy. There would be no room for Israel in the Middle East,
should democracy prevail.
The Israeli regime that rejects all UN purposes and principles in its practices
and policies and defies almost all UN resolutions, only misuses this august
Assembly to mislead others.
As an example, let us see how many UN Security Council resolutions have been
violated by Israel? It is about 300 ranging from weapons of mass destruction to
the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East.
On the Israeli-Palestinian related issues alone, Israel has violated 225
Security Council resolutions. The latest of such resolutions was resolution
2334, which called for an end to Israeli settlement building.
In the Council meeting on 20 September 2018, almost all its members, of course
except Israel’s big patron, the U.S., referring to valuation of this resolution
by Israel, urged it to end defying the resolution.
Israel holds the record for ignoring United Nations Security Council
resolutions: the symbol of an international outlaw.
To do so, it relies mainly on the U.S. To date, the U.S. has used its veto power
a total of 44 times to shield Israel from Security Council draft resolutions
against Israel.
Mr. President,
Exhibiting some photographs of "google street view”, today the Israeli showman
claimed that he discovered new nuclear facilities in Iran. This is yet another
false story. It is not surprising as lying is in his DNA.
Instead of such fabrications he should stop threatening Iran with nuclear
annihilation as he did recently .Such an inflammatory statement against an NPT
party constitutes a serious violation of international law and the UN Charter.
Recalling that the Israeli regime has attacked two peaceful nuclear facilities
in our region in the past, the Security Council should strongly condemn the
threat by this regime to use nuclear weapons against Iran. It should also be
compelled to abandon its nuclear weapons; to accede to the NPT without delay and
precondition; and place all of its nuclear facilities under the IAEA full-scope
safeguards.
This regime should stop its destabilizing conduct and frequent encroachments
against the countries of the region; end its regular violations of Syrian and
Lebanese airspace; and put an end to its airstrikes against various targets in
Syria. These airstrikes effectively serve as air support for terrorist groups.
Let us be outright clear. We watch Israel’s criminal behavior whenever they do
it wherever they do it. The time that Israel hits its neighbors with impunity is
past.
I thank you, Mr. President.
