UN Official Slams Iran’s Calls for Genocide Against Israel

{On Tuesday, December 9, Adama Dieng, UN Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Prevention of Genocide emphatically stated that Iran’s genocidal threats to “wipe Israel off the earth” are “totally unacceptable.” }

Mr. Dieng was at the UN’s headquarters in New York to commemorate the Anniversary of the Genocide Convention that was first adopted on December 9, 1948. Carmen Maria Rodriguez of Radio Marti asked the question that sparked Mr. Dieng’s direct censure of Iran’s recent calls for Israel’s annihilation.

Mr. Dieng went on to elaborate that not only are Iran’s genocidal threats to wipe Israel off the map “totally unacceptable,” but also that “Israel is a state, and has the right to exist as a state, and its security has also to be protected.” The utter simplicity and truth of Mr. Dieng’s statements is a rare commodity in the diplo-speak of the United Nations.
