"The international community must impose economic sanctions on Iran and continue with diplomatic steps in order to prevent deterioration in the Middle East, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is planning to tell Russian President Vladimir Putin during their meeting Thursday in the Kremlin.

The prime minister landed in Moscow during the afternoon, for a lightening visit which was only reported on Wednesday. The topic for the discussion will be the Iranian nuclear program. "The sanctions imposed up to now have affected Iran and they should be continued," the prime minister said.

After landing in Moscow, the prime minister came to the official residence of the Russian government. Olmert is expected to meet with Putin after 5 pm Israel time for two hours. He plans to raise before the Russian president the issue of Russian-Syrian weapons deals, and to update him on progress made in negotiations on the Palestinian front."

Peres on Iran: Similar thing happened with Hitler

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3461418,00.html

President issues special statement warning against Iran's efforts to develop nuclear arms, says history has proven it may become too late to prevent bloodshed

<snip>

"The world must open its eyes before it is too late," President Shimon Peres said Thursday in reference to the Iranian nuclear threat.

"Many times in history it was too late to prevent horrors and bloodshed, for instance with Stalin and Hitler. We are nearing a similar turn of events with Ahmadinejad. We must not ignore Iran's aspiration to become a religious, extremist Persian empire that would rule the entire Mideast," Peres said in a special statement issued by his office.

"The Iranian leader is publicly calling for Israel's destruction and investing billions of dollars in developing long-range missiles with the clear intent of loading them with nuclear warheads," the president stressed.

Referring to Russia President Vladimir Putin's recent support of Iran, Peres said that "even if Putin says he's not sure that Iran is developing nuclear power for military purposes, everybody knows what Iran's true intentions are, and many intelligence branches around the world have concrete proof indicating that Iran is manufacturing nuclear arms for war and killing."

1. Yeah, that's SO in Putin's interest

Hey Olmert, Did you hear that Russia successfully tested an ICBM? I don't think he cares about Iran's "weapons program" as much as he cares about the USA on his doorstep!

4. Peres, say it ain't so!

Peres used to be the sorta sane guy over there in the wacky-reactionary world of Israeli politics. He's clearly suffered some sort of a stroke if he's seriously putting Iran's nutty little man in the same league as Hitler and Stalin. And obviously learning from * about repeating the lie. "The Iranian leader is publicly calling for Israel's destruction..." No, he's not. Never thought Shimon Peres would Olmertisize into an ignorant warmongering fuckstick. Color me depressingly surprised to find it out.

Peres was never a "good guy". Though he could 'act' it at some times.
