Jordan paper urges UN to restrain Israel
2006-03-12
AMMAN — A Jordanian newspaper yesterday called on the UN Security Council to force Israel to stop its ‘bellicose attack’ on international law by threatening to act against Iran if the world community fails to take action against Teheran’s nuclear programme.
"Oh yaassss! The Zionists aren't allowed to defend themselves, especially if it means missiles flying over our heads!"
“It is incumbent on the UN Security Council to call Israel to order and ask it to stop its bellicose attack on international norms. This should be the first order of business in dealing with the Iranian crisis,” the English language newspaper Jordan Times said in an editorial. The paper contended that the Israeli threats “did not only aim to pre-empt any UN action, it was also in violation of international law”.

#5  The editorial writer of the Jordan Times has not thought this through. Nasty Iranian radioactive daughters of the god Plutonium could hitch a ride on the winds, if they are favorable, and wind up in Jordan after an attack on Israel.

#4  Sounds like 1950's Democrats railing against Republican threats to "UNLEASH CHIANG KAI-SHEK!"

#2  For all the big 'tough' talk out of Iran lately - its apparent that they are very afraid of Israel too....

#1  Here's the Jordan Times editorial referred to.

Their desire for the UNSC to, somehow, force Israel to toe the UN Charter is comical. Their search function craps out - otherwise I would have located their editorial position on Iran calling for wiping Israel off the map. A comparison would've been entertaining, I think.

It's clear that they're very afraid of Israel.

Good.
