Will Israel be sacrificed for the sake of appeasing Muslim anger over Danish cartoons? Over at the UN, Egypt is trying to link Israel to the Iranian nuclear crisis, and Europe is buying into it. Haaretz explains:
At the last moment, and to the surprise and displeasure of the Israeli delegation to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Article 13 was added to the resolution on Iran.
It states that “… a solution to the Iranian issue would contribute to global nonproliferation efforts and to realizing the objective of a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction, including their means of delivery.”…
A member of the American delegation to the IAEA told Haaretz that the Europeans were leaning toward the Egyptian version, partly in an effort to appease the Muslim and Arab world in the wake of the riots incited in recent days by the caricature of Mohammed published in a Danish newspaper.
