Three events, occurring over the same 48 hours, in three different
locations:
In New York, the UN General Assembly endorsed the Goldstone
Report into Israel’s ‘Operation Cast Lead’ against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
In the waters off the coast of Cyprus, the Israeli navy
intercepted a vessel containing 300 tons of weaponry and explosives destined
for Hizballah, dispatched by Iran.
In Iran itself, mass crowds gathered to curse the ‘Great
Satan’, the United States, on the 30th anniversary of the US Embassy
hostage crisis which followed the revolution that overturned the Shah’s secular
autocracy and ushered in the Islamist reign of the Ayatollahs.
