Israel behaving in Gaza 'like Nazis': MP

Siamak Marreh Sedq, Iran's only Jewish MP

Strong language from Siamak Marreh Sedq, Iran's only Jewish MP - if indeed he said those words attributed to him by the Iranian News Agency FNA of his own volition.


TEHRAN (FNA)- Representative of the Jewish minority at the Iranian Parliament Siamak Marreh Sedq condemned Israel's recent attacks on the Palestinians, saying that Tel Aviv's criminal acts reminds everyone of the crimes committed by the Nazis during the first and second World Wars.

“The Zionist regime's crimes are reminiscent of the actions taken by the German Nazis during the first and second World Wars,” Marreh Sedq told FNA on Monday.

He added that Israel's crimes against the Palestinians are also a reminder of the mistreatment of Shiites by the executed Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein.

Chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission asked his world counterparts today to break silence on Israel's savage attacks on the defenseless Palestinian people in Gaza.

In separate letters to his counterparts in 46 countries of the world, including Russia, Mexico, Venezuela, Palestine, Yemen, Ecuador, Algeria, Kyrgyzstan, Sudan, the Philippines, Uganda, Belarus, Ireland, China, Brazil and Jordan, Chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi blasted the international bodies which claim to be supporting human rights for their inaction vis-a-vis the killing of the defenseless and fasting Gaza Muslims by the Zionist regime.

Also, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani in separate phone conversations with his Malian and Sudanese counterparts on Monday underlined the need for holding a troika meeting of the Parliamentary Union of Islamic Cooperation (PUIC) to discuss the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and slaughter of the innocent Palestinians.
