Swiss Diplomats Bankrolling Iranian Economy: Why's Israel So Pissed Off At Us?

Partners

Last March the Swiss - having bankrolled the last Holocaust - sent their FM to Tehran to wrap herself in a humiliating hijab and beg Ahmadinejad to let them bankroll the next one:

Iran and Switzerland on Monday signed a major agreement for Iranian gas exports to a Swiss company, in a rare energy deal between Tehran and the West as their nuclear showdown drags on. "Today we witnessed the signing of a gas contract between the two countries,"... You might remember [FM] Calmy-Rey as the woman who invited Ahmadinejad to a Geneva conference so he could discuss "various perceptions of the Holocaust. That deal failed when people pointed out that it was kind of disgusting.

Now she can't understand why Israel is grumpy with her:

Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey has expressed disappointment that no member of her country's government is invited to attend the celebration of Israel's 60th anniversary, according to a Swiss newspaper. Switzerland will be represented at the festivities through its ambassador in Tel Aviv, she told the weekly Sonntag, published Sunday. "But, personally, I am disappointed that our country was not invited at government level," she was quoted as saying.

You can understand her confusion: the international community constantly gives money to genocidal lunatics in Gaza and the West Bank. So why shouldn't the Swiss be allowed to pull the same stunt with the Iranians? Hint:
