"Reality as It Is": Israel Sticks to Hard Line on Iran's Rouhani
(NBC News) Geraint Vincent - World leaders must see "reality as it is, not as how they would like it to be," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a speech to mark this year's Holocaust Memorial Day on April 27. At issue are nuclear negotiations with Iran. Netanyahu accuses Tehran of using the talks as a stalling tactic while it pursues nuclear weapons. Simply put, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is a "wolf in sheep's clothing," he says. Tel Aviv-based political analyst Daniel Nisman notes Netanyahu's "old school" commitment to doing whatever it takes to prevent a second Holocaust. "If the prime minister has a choice between Iran having the bomb, and not pissing off the Americans, and Iran not having the bomb, he's going to choose the latter," he said.
