We talked last week<\/a> about the Panamanian-flagged ship that was transporting weapons from Iran to Gaza. It turns out that there were 40 M-302 missiles, 181 mortar shells and 400,000 rounds of ammunition for AK-47s, according to Fox News<\/a>. We used to have leaders in the West who would condemn this blatant act of the sponsorship of terror, but because they are all gone, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is left to say it out loud;<\/p>\n

“Iran, a brutal regime, has not abandoned its deep involvement in terrorism, its systematic efforts to undermine peace and security throughout the Middle East and its ambition to destroy the state of Israel,” Netanyahu said. “What is new is not Iran’s deeds or its lies, but the desire of many in the international community to bury their heads in the sand.<\/p>\n

“Just as Iran hid its deadly missiles in the belly of this ship, Iran is hiding its actions and its intentions in many of its key installations for developing nuclear weapons,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“My message today is simple: those engaged in self-deception must waken from their slumber, we cannot allow Iran to continue building nuclear weapons,” he continued. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, folks are worried that Netanyahu’s words will strain relations between Israel and the West, but in the 1st Century BC, Rabbi Hillel the Elder said \u201cIf I am not for myself, then who will be for me?\u201d Iran is the main source of terror in the world, and everyone is treating them like any other good world citizen. I guess they’re happy that the airliner went down in Asia this weekend so everyone will ignore the video that the Israelis made of the ship being emptied of it’s deadly cargo.<\/p>\n
