On Thursday, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, fired off against the United Nations, snapping, “We will not see ourselves bound by any agreement that does not fully address the threats against the existence of the state of Israel. And every one of you would do the same if you were in our shoes, particularly in light of the Holocaust.”

Erdan began by noting, “They were peacefully protecting, only expressing their right to free speech. Now five young Iranian men are locked up in jail, waiting to be executed. Their crime? Waging war on God.”
