Volume 13, Issue 81:
“On this symbolic day, we have an obligation to examine more closely the global events that led to "the Unnecessary War" and the Holocaust, specifically the time it took for the international community to take action against the Nazi regime, which ultimately cost the world millions of lives. Then we should be asking ourselves if someday the same will be said about the international community's complacency in preventing Iran from fulfilling its goal of becoming a nuclear power and putting millions more lives at risk.
At this critical juncture in our collective history, the similarities between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Nazi regime are as striking as the path we are heading down nearly a century later."
----- Ambassador Gilad Erdan of Israel, spoken on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27, 2021

** Don't Expect Iran to Renegotiate the Nuclear Deal in Good Faith ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
** By Sarah Stern / January 28, 2021 / Newsweek ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The late ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, who was a close friend of mine, told me that one of the worst days of her life was the morning after the Israelis bombed the nuclear reactor in Osirak, Iraq. Her boss, President Ronald Reagan, summoned her to the floor of the UN General Assembly and told her, in no uncertain terms, that she must strongly condemn the attack, despite her knowing that someday America would be grateful to the Israelis for doing what they needed to do to defend themselves.
What Israel had to do to defend itself would one day serve to defend the free democratic world as a whole.
While on the campaign trail, President Joe Biden has made clear that he would like to renegotiate the JCPOA, the Iranian nuclear deal of 2015.
We would all prefer to live in a world where diplomacy and negotiations could substitute for armed conflict. However, that is not the world we inhabit. There are some international actors that negotiate in good faith. There are others, however that use negotiations as a smokescreen behind which to hide malevolent intentions.
