UK official slams Israel after criticizing Rouhani during Holocaust memorial ceremony


This UK official Alex Salmond can F-U-C-K--O-F-F !!!

The reproach came just hours after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, released a video in which he said it is "not clear" whether the Holocaust was "reality or not."

Alex Salmond told members of the Coucil of Europe, a regional intergovernmental organization with 47 member states under its auspices, that it was "inappropriate" for the representative of Israel to criticize the Iranian president during the Holocaust memorial ceremony while Rouhani was in France.

Former ambassador to the United states and current MK Michael Oren (Kulanu) was Israel's emissary at the Strasourg meeting held Wednesday.

The reproach came just hours after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, released a video in which he said it was "not clear whether the core of this matter is a reality or not, even if it is a reality, it is not clear how it happened."

The video, promoted on the Ayatollah's website, also featured a banner with the image of Hitler placed directly on its homepage, The Telegraph noted.

Salmond additionally said that there was a “time and place for international politics” and Oren should have refrained from criticizing Rouhani “during a solemn commemoration service.”
