Peres odbacuje usporedbu Holokausta i Irana

"It’s not the same thing," Peres told the Ynet website of Yediot Aharonot newspaper in an interview for Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s independence day.

To nije ista stvar, rekao je Peres  u intervju za medije povodom Yom Ha'atzmaut, Dana Izraelske nezavisnosti.

Holokaust je jedna stvar, a Iran druga. Usporedba nije moguća. Ali ja nisam "literarno" kritičan na mišljenje koje je o tome rekao premijer.

U svom govoru prošlog tjedna,  prilikom sjećanja na Holokaust, premijer Benjamin Netanyahu je rekao:

"Ljudi koji odbijaju da vide Iransku opasnost nisu ništa naučili iz Shoa ( Holokausta)".

Oni se boje govoriti o istini koja je danas, kao  i onda, da postoje ljudi koji žene uništiti milijune Židova" rekao je premijer.

"The truth is that an Iran in possession of nuclear arms is an existential threat to the State of Israel."

"Istina je da  je Iransko posjedovanje nuklearnog oružja  egzistencijalna opasnost za državu Izrael".

There has been growing concern Israel might carry out military strikes on Iran in a bid to destroy, or at least severely disable, the nuclear programme.

But Peres voiced confidence the sanctions imposed on Iran by the international community would prove an effective deterrent.

"Every person can judge this for himself. I believe we can handle the Iranian threat. The United States leading and Europe joining (them) — it’s not just lip service," he said.

"They, like us, cannot afford to have a nuclear Iran and they want to stop it. As for Hitler, the world was asleep then. This couldnt happen today, the world has woken up," he said.

"Israel can defend itself but we are not alone, and that’s a plus, not a minus. I believe what (US President Barack) Obama says. There is no need for saber-rattling, but there is a need to impose sanctions and political pressure."
