Netanyahu speaks out at UN

CNN:

...

Speaking at the U.N. General Assembly's annual debate, Netanyahu denounced the Iranian leader's remarks to the assembly Wednesday evening.

He said Ahmadinejad's comments were a disgraceful "mockery of the charter of the United Nations." He said people who listened to Ahmadinejad gave "legitimacy to a man who denies the murder of 6 million Jews, while promising to wipe out the state of israel, the state of the Jews."

"Yesterday, the man who calls the Holocaust a lie spoke from this podium. To those who refused to come and to those who left in protest, I commend you. You stood up for moral clarity, and you brought honor to your countries. Video Watch reactions to Ahmadinejad »

"But to those who gave this Holocaust denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people, the Jewish people, and decent people everywhere, have you no shame? Have you no decency?"

Noting that the United Nations was founded "after the carnage of World War II, after the horrors of the Holocaust, it was charged with preventing the recurrence of such horrendous events."

"Nothing has undermined that mission. Nothing has impeded it more than the systematic assault on the truth."

Netanyahu showed a copy of minutes of senior Nazi officials when they met to discuss how to carry out the extermination of Jewry and noted plans to construct concentration camps. Are such plans "lies?" he asked.

And he wanted to know whether the tattoos branded on the arms of Auschwitz survivors are lies as well.

As for the Iranian regime, he said it "is fueled by an extreme fundamentalism that burst onto the world scene three decades ago after lying dormant for centuries."

"In the past 30 years, this fanaticism has swept across the globe with a murderous violence that knows no bounds and with a cold-blooded impartiality in the choice of its victims," he said.

He said "women, minorities, gays or anyone else deemed not to be a true believer is brutally subjugated," and he said "the most urgent challenge" facing the United Nations is "to prevent the tyrants of Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons."

It was a strong speech, but too many in the UN are willfully ignorant of the Holocaust and the evil that lurks withing the Iranian regime. It would be a mistake for Israel to depend on the UN to protect it from the plans of Ahmadinejad and the religious bigots who control Iran.

Netanyahu also mentioned the strange UN report on the recent operations in Gaza. The report has a bazaar construct which ignores Palestinians war crimes such as using human shields and camouflaging fighters as civilians. After ignoring these war crimes, the report attacks Israel for defending itself against these perps. The report offered only offhand condemnation of the Hamas rocket attacks on non combatants. It offered no acceptable response to these attacks. Those responsible for this report should be condemned.

  1. Since the Israelis are the target of an Iranian extermination plan, they cannot afford the luxury of a Pollyana, cafe-debate world view like Barack thinks is so modern and "cool".

    Israel can go-it-alone if she has to... the IDF probably has the military capacity already to not only bomb Iran, but win the wider Middle East war that is likely to result.

    Unlike vs. Hezbollah in 2006, the Israelis will fight this one to win, and win BIG... vs. Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and the rump Hamas. The IDF will go ALL-out too, with infantry and armor from day one.

    Team Obama would be well-advised to keep an eye on the horizon anytime they're visiting their new pals in Tehran... for a formation of Israeli F-16's coming-in at Mach 2.

    The Israelis did us all a huge favor in 1983, taking out Saddam's reactor in the face of world condemnation... and they'll they'll take care of business again. Unfortunately, Israel is used to such misguided and ignorant moralizing- same as they've dealt with for years.

    As for Obama, polls show their populace has completely turned against him, they don't care what this smiley plastic mannequin has to say anymore... as he turns the US into an irrelevant, impotent bystander.

    Sorry about him, Israel- normal Americans still support you.
