U.N. Chief Scorns Iran For Anti-Israel, Anti-Semitic Rhetoric | United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon criticized Iran in a speech to the Nonaligned Movement summit in Tehran today for its anti-Israel rhetoric and denying the Holocaust. “I strongly reject threats by any member state to destroy another or outrageous attempts to deny historical facts such as the Holocaust,” Ban said without naming Iran directly. “Claiming that Israel does not have the right to exist or describing it in racist terms is not only wrong but undermines the very principle we all have pledged to uphold,” he added.
