The issue of the sanctions was an addition by MrBrian and not part of the article. The article is about Switzerland condemning Israel for its actions against Palestinians.
Regarding the sanctions against Iran, I dont see how someone from USA can call out the Swiss for not agreeing with sanctions against Iran. Do you know how many resolutions your country has vetoed in favour of Israel? Its in the hundreds. Not to mention if the sanctions escalate are you willing to see approximately one million civilians die as what happened in Iraq?
Keep in mind all the reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency that the Iranians have halted any suspicious activities a while ago. It seems their nuclear activities are more open than the Israelis. I don't see any sanctions against Israel or its nuclear arsenal.
The funny thing is up until 2000 or so Dick Cheney lobbyied to have sanctions removed from Iran b/c Halliburton had their own energy deal w/ them including selling them parts that could be used to make nukes.
'and I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my brother'
'How a culture can forget its plan of yesterday
and you swear it's not a trend
it doesn't matter anyway
there's no need to talk as friends
nothing news everyday
all the kids will eat it up
if it's packaged properly'

Hypocrisy at its finest. This whole "sactions" thing escalated when the Iranians threatened to use Euros in their oil dealings instead of the US $. Reminds me of a neighbouring country of theirs. I forget the name.
