What Netanyahu had to say to the UN

Here's what Israel's prime minister had to say to the UN's monsters, and to Zohran Mamdani:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held up a Hezbollah pager during his United Nations speech Thursday, as dozens of diplomats walked out before he took the stage.

“Remember these things?” Netanyahu asked the audience, holding up the device. “Well, I can tell you this: Hezbollah certainly remembers them.”

Netanyahu was referring to the September 2024 operation in which thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah members exploded across Lebanon.

The Israeli prime minister touted Israel’s military campaign against Hezbollah, saying the terror group’s arsenal of approximately 150,000 ballistic missiles and rockets had been significantly degraded and that many of its leaders had been killed. [...]

He also pointed to Israel’s strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities, saying destroying the sites was “one of the easiest decisions” he had made as prime minister because failing to do so would have left Israel facing an existential threat.

“Devastating Iran’s nuclear facilities was hard. It was very hard to do,” Netanyahu said. “But for me, it was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever had to make as prime minister. Because if we hadn’t done it, we’d all be dead.”

Netanyahu argued that Israel’s actions against Iran were also protecting other countries, including some whose representatives had walked out of the chamber.

And their departure from the auditorium is enough to wonder if they couldn't care less what fate would befall their own countries if they'd been struck by Iran. Such people don't belong in politics, and only make clear why the UN is not an institution any sane person should work for.

Now, here's what Giulio Meotti had to say about the visit to the UN, which was unfortunately kept brief, due to how Zohran Mamdani was calling for protests against Netanyahu, and also notes that:

The Israeli opposition’s accusations that Netanyahu is using these moments for his own political ends are ridiculous: they themselves would sell their own mothers in the marketplace for power. That’s politics, period.

No one in the world is as capable as Netanyahu of owning that stage and lining up so many truths.

A phrase of Saul Bellow’s came back to me: “In their concern for the decay of civilization and in their pride, the Israelis have something to teach the world."

While numerous UN delegates walked out of the hall at the start of Netanyahu’s speech, the Israeli prime minister said: “If there are any other cowards who haven’t left the chamber, do it now."

Bibi spoke about Iran: “If we had not destroyed the Iranian nuclear facilities, we would be dead, and we also defended many countries whose delegates left this hall. Many later thanked us in private. Hypocrites".

He evoked his brother Yonatan and the Entebbe raid. He spoke of October 7 (“for a country of ten million it is like 40,000 Americans killed in less than 24 hours") to justify Israel’s wars: “What other country the size of New Jersey would have fought on seven fronts against these barbarians?".

Netanyahu was alone and defiant.

I’m sure he would not agree with my definition of solitude, but that is the reality: Israel has been left isolated, even though many of its apparent allies condemn it in the morning and thank it behind the scenes in the evening.

Netanyahu has always used the General Assembly to shake public opinion.
