Well, it also provides Netanyahu some international validation, and that is not a good thing. So some relevance.

To summarize: Israel good no matter how many UN resolutions they break; Iran bad no matter how many UN resolutions they comply with.
Also, Israeli nuclear weapons good, Iranian nuclear weapons bad.

Ok, OK. All well and good, but who's going to be the CP leader next?

Jesus!

Oh, there's a thought.

No, probably not him.
