The United Nations and European Union are legitimizing anti-Semitism when they send their representatives to conferences in Tehran, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Wednesday. The international community still does not recognize the threat that the Iranian ayatollahs’ regime poses to world peace, he added.

Lieberman’s warning follows Iranian Vice President Mohammed Reza Rahimi’s recent anti-Semitic tirade, in which he accused ‘Zionists’ of encouraging drug addiction among non-Jews for reasons outlined in the Talmud.
