You've just got to love Dr. Shalev's approach here.
First, you have a country, and a representative for that country, which will take absolutely now approach to their own contributions to Middle East instability.
Then, you get the "big lie" about Iran's nuclear program.
Iran is building a power plant, which it is perfectly within its right to do, as a signatory to the NPT. IAEA inspections have consistently indicated that Iran isn't building bombs. There has been no nuclear material gone walkabout, nor any indication that the degree of enrichment is anything other than that necessary for creating a power plant.
Unfortunately, Dr. Shalev's playing fast and loose with the facts here indicates that we are probably in for a world of hurt before the end of the year, courtesy of the US/Israeli attack against Iran.
She knows, with absolute certainty, that she will not be able to get the UN to go along with a resolution calling for a military attack against Iran, because Russia and China will veto.
Apparently, the UN is about to become (as happened right before the invasion and occupation of Iraq) "irrelevant". Shalev's remarks are simply pro forma, setting the stage for that to happen.
Also, it is obvious that Dr. Shalev hasn't spoken with, and is not listening to, her Russian counterparts at the UN.
Russian leadership has told both Tel Aviv and Washington, in no uncertain terms, that such an attack will lead to World War III.
And we don't need to guess upon which side Russia will be fighting.
