Shame on all of you

Ain't if funny how the "favoured" get a free ride whereas the "others" don't?

A senior Iranian official said Friday it is shameful for the world to turn a blind eye to remarks made by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, interpreted by some as an admission that Israel has nuclear weapons. [emphasis mine]

Well lets see. Hmmm. How could anyone come away with that interpretation? Maybe because this is what he said.

In a German TV interview aired Monday, Olmert said: "Iran, openly, explicitly and publicly threatens to wipe Israel off the map. Can you say that this is the same level, when they are aspiring to have nuclear weapons, as America, France, Israel, Russia?" [emphasis mine]

OK. This did come from Haaretz.com which is an Israeli site, but still. There's no need to interpret anything here.
