The UN General Assembly's First Committee (a committee-of-the-whole) is once again used as a podium for countries such as Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Lebanon to divert attention to Israel instead of the nuclear proliferation efforts of one of their own. Iran accuses Israel of state-terrorism and of posing "a real threat to the whole world." Anyone who puts pressure on Iran to stop its nuclear program is "trying to serve the interest of the illegal Israeli regime."
