In his weekly cabinet address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ripped into Iran for holding a cartoon contest that mocked the Holocaust and denied that it took place. He called upon the rest of the world to stand up and condemn the state’s actions.
Iran hosts Holocaust-denial cartoon contest while preparing another Holocaust. Shameful. Don't stay quiet about it. pic.twitter.com/Ol9ojfz4Js

Here is some of the text from his address:
Over the weekend Iran convened a special Holocaust-denial cartoon contest. It must be understood what our problem with Iran is.
— PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) May 15, 2016
Our problem with Iran is not just its policy of subversion and aggression in the region; it is the values on which it is based.
— PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) May 15, 2016
PM Netanyahu: Iran denies and belittles the Holocaust and it is also preparing another Holocaust.
— PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) May 15, 2016
I think that every country in the world must stand up and fully condemn this. This is what I told US Secretary of State @JohnKerry yesterday
— PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) May 15, 2016
Don’t expect Kerry, Obama or anyone in the administration to acknowledge or condemn Iran’s state-sanctioned contempt and hatred of Israel. It is the unfortunate standard we have come to expect from this president and his State Department.
