 PM Netanyahu’s Speech to the UN General Assembly 


Thank you, Mr. President,
Distinguished delegates,

I come here from Jerusalem to speak on behalf of my people, the people of Israel.I’ve come here to speak about the dangers we face and about the opportunities we see. I’ve come here to expose the brazen lies spoken from this very podium against my country and against the brave soldiers who defend it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, 
The people of Israel pray for peace.
But our hopes and the world’s hope for peace are in danger.Because everywhere we look,militant Islam is on the march.
It’s not militants.  
It’s not Islam.  
It’s militant Islam.

Typically, its first victims are other Muslims,but it spares no one. Christians, Jews, Yazidis, Kurds – no creed, no faith,noethnic group is beyond its sights.And it’s rapidly spreading in every part of the world.

You know thefamous American saying: "All politics is local"?For the militant Islamists,"All politics is global."Because their ultimate goal is to dominate the world.

Now, that threat might seem exaggeratedto some, since it starts out small, like a cancer that attacks a particular part of the body. But left unchecked, the cancer grows,metastasizing overwider and wider areas.To protect the peace and security of the world, we must remove this cancer before it’s too late. 

Last week, many of the countries represented here rightly applaudedPresident Obamafor leading the effort to confront ISIS.And yet weeks before,some of these same countries, the same countriesthat now support confronting ISIS, opposed Israel for confrontingHamas. They evidently don’t understand that ISIS and Hamas are branches of the same poisonous tree.

ISIS and Hamas share a fanatical creed,which they both seek to impose well beyond the territory under their control.

Listen to ISIS’s self-declared caliph,Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.This is what he said two months ago:

A day will soon come when the Muslim will walk everywhere as a master…
The Muslims will cause the world to hear and understand the meaning of terrorism…
and destroy the idol of democracy. 

Now listen to Khaled Meshaal, the leader of Hamas.Heproclaims a similar vision of the future:
We say this to the West…
By Allah you will be defeated.  
Tomorrow our nation will sit on the throne of the world.

As Hamas’s charter makes clear, Hamas’s immediate goal is to destroy Israel. But Hamas has a broader objective.They also want a caliphate.Hamas shares the global ambitions of its fellow militant Islamists.

That’s why its supporters wildly cheered in the streets of Gaza as thousands of Americans were murdered on 9/11.And that’s why its leaderscondemned the United States for killing Osama Bin Laden, whom they praised as a holy warrior.
So when it comes to their ultimate goals, Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas.

And what they share in common, all militant Islamists share in common:
• Boko Haram in Nigeria;
• Ash-Shabab in Somalia;
• Hezbollah in Lebanon;
• An-Nusrah in Syria;
• The Mahdi Army in Iraq;
• And the Al-Qaeda branches in Yemen, Libya, the Philippines, India and elsewhere.
Some are radical Sunnis, some are radical Shi’ites. Some wantto restore a pre-medieval caliphate from the 7th century. Others want to trigger theapocalyptic return of animam from the 9th century. They operate in different lands, they target different victims and they evenkill each other in their quest for supremacy.  

But they all share a fanatic ideology. They all seek to create ever expanding enclaves of militant Islam where there is no freedom and no tolerance – Where women are treated as chattel, Christians are decimated, and minorities are subjugated,sometimes given thestark choice:convert or die.

For them, anyone can be an infidel, including fellow Muslims.
Ladies and Gentlemen, 
Militant Islam’s ambitionto dominate the world seems mad.But so too did the global ambitions of another fanatic ideology that swept to power eight decades ago.
The Nazis believed in a master race. The militant Islamistsbelieve in a master faith. They just disagreeabout who among themwill be the master… of the master faith. That’s what they truly disagree about.Therefore, the question beforeus is whether militant Islam will have the powerto realizeits unbridled ambitions.

There is one place where that could soon happen: The Islamic State of Iran. 
For 35 years,Iran has relentlessly pursued theglobal missionwhich was set forth by its founding ruler, Ayatollah Khomeini, in these words: 
We will export our revolution to the entire world.
Until the cry "There is no God but Allah" will echo throughout the world over…
And ever since, the regime’s brutal enforcers, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, havedone exactly that.
Listen toits current commander, General Muhammad Ali Ja’afari. And he clearly stated this goal. He said:
Our Imam did not limit the Islamic Revolution to this country…
Our duty is to prepare the way for an Islamic world government…
Iran’s President Rouhani stood here last week,and shedcrocodile tears over what he called "the globalization of terrorism."

Maybe he should spare us those phony tears and have a word instead with the commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.He could ask them to call off Iran’s global terror campaign, which has included attacks in two dozen countries on five continentssince 2011 alone. 
To say that Iran doesn’t practice terrorism is like saying Derek Jeter never played shortstop for the New York Yankees.
This bemoaning of the Iranian president of the spread of terrorism has got to be one of history’s greatest displays of doubletalk.

Now, Somestill argue that Iran’s global terror campaign, its subversion of countries throughout the Middle East and well beyond the Middle East, some argue that this is the work of the extremists.They say things are changing.They point to last year’s elections in Iran.They claim that Iran’s smooth talking President and Foreign Minister, they’ve changed not only the tone of Iran’s foreign policy but also its substance. They believe Rouhani and Zarifgenuinely want to reconcile with the West, that they’ve abandoned the global mission of the Islamic Revolution.

Really?
So let’s look at what Foreign Minister Zarif wrote in his book just a few years ago:
We have a fundamental problem with the West, 
and especially with America. 
This is because we are heirs to a global mission, 
which is tied to our raison d’etre…
A global mission which is tied to our very reason of being.
And then Zarif asks a question, I think an interesting one. He says:
How come Malaysia [he’s referring to an overwhelmingly Muslim country] – how come Malaysia doesn’t have similar problems? 
And he answers:
Because Malaysia is not trying to change the international order.
That’s your moderate. 
So don’t be fooled by Iran’s manipulative charm offensive.It’s designed for one purpose, and for one purpose only: To lift the sanctions and remove the obstacles to Iran’s path to the bomb. The Islamic Republic is now trying to bamboozle its way to an agreement that will remove the sanctions it still faces,and leave it with the capacity of thousands of centrifuges to enrich uranium. 
This would effectively cement Iran’s placeas a threshold military nuclear power.In the future, at a time of its choosing, Iran, the world’s most dangerous state in the world’s most dangerous region,would obtain the world’s most dangerous weapons.

Allowing that to happen wouldpose the gravestthreat to us all. 
It’s one thing to confront militant Islamistson pick-up trucks,armed with Kalashnikov rifles. It’s another thing to confront militant Islamistsarmed with weapons of mass destruction.  

I remember that last year, everyone here was rightly concerned about the chemical weapons in Syria, including the possibility that they would fall into the hands of terrorists. 
That didn’t happen.And President Obama deserves great credit for leading the diplomatic effort to dismantle virtually all of Syria’s chemical weapons capability. 

Imagine how much more dangerous the Islamic State, ISIS, would be if it possessed chemical weapons.Now imagine how much more dangerousthe Islamic state of Iran wouldbe if it possessednuclear weapons. 
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Would you let ISIS enrich uranium?
Would you let ISISbuild a heavy water reactor?
Would you let ISISdevelop intercontinental ballistic missiles?
Of course you wouldn’t. 
Then you mustn’tlet the Islamic State of Irando those things either.

Because here’s what will happen:
Once Iran produces atomic bombs, all the charm and all the smiles will suddenly disappear. They’ll just vanish.It’s then that the ayatollahs will show their true faceand unleash their aggressive fanaticism on the entire world. 
There is only one responsible course of action to address this threat: 
Iran’s nuclear military capabilities must be fully dismantled.

Make no mistake – ISIS must be defeated.But todefeat ISIS and leave Iran as a threshold nuclear poweris to win the battle and lose the war.
To defeat ISIS and leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power is to win the battle and lose the war.

Ladies and Gentlemen, 
The fight against militant Islam is indivisible.When militant Islam succeeds anywhere, it’s emboldened everywhere.When it suffers a blow in one place,it’s set back in every place.  
That’s why Israel’s fight against Hamas is not just our fight. It’s your fight.
Israel is fighting a fanaticism today that your countries may be forced to fight tomorrow.
For 50 days this past summer,Hamas fired thousands of rocketsat Israel, many of them supplied by Iran.  
I want you to think about what your countries would do if thousands of rockets were fired at your cities.Imagine millions of your citizens havingseconds at most to scrambleto bomb shelters,day after day. 
You wouldn’t let terrorists fire rockets at your citieswith impunity.Nor would you let terrorists dig dozens of terror tunnels under your borders to infiltrate your towns in order tomurder and kidnap your citizens. 
Israel justly defended itself against both rocket attacks and terror tunnels. 
Yet Israel also faced another challenge. We faced a propaganda war.
Because, in an attempt to win the world’s sympathy,Hamas cynically used Palestinian civiliansas human shields.It usedschools, not just schools – UN schools, private homes, mosques, even hospitals to store and fire rockets at Israel.
As Israel surgically struck at the rocket launchers and at the tunnels, Palestinian civiliansweretragically but unintentionally killed.There areheartrending images that resulted, and these fueled libelous charges that Israel was deliberately targeting civilians.
We were not.
We deeply regret every single civilian casualty.And the truth is this:
Israel was doing everything to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties. Hamas was doing everything to maximize Israeli civilian casualtiesand Palestiniancivilian casualties.Israeldropped flyers, made phone calls, sent text messages, broadcast warnings in Arabic on Palestinian television,always to enable Palestinian civilians to evacuate targeted areas.

No other country and no other army in historyhave gone to greater lengths to avoid casualties among the civilian population of their enemies. 
This concern for Palestinian life was all the more remarkable,given that Israeli civilians were being bombarded by rockets day after day, night after night.As their families were being rocketed by Hamas, Israel’s citizen army – the brave soldiers of the IDF, our young boys and girls – they upheld the highest moral values of any army in the world. 
Israel’s soldiers deserve not condemnation, but admiration. Admiration from decent people everywhere.
Now here’s what Hamas did: Hamas embedded its missile batteries in residential areasand told Palestinians to ignore Israel’s warnings to leave. And just in case people didn’t get the message, they executed Palestinian civilians in Gazawho dared to protest.
No less reprehensible, Hamas deliberately placed its rockets where Palestinian children live and play. Let me show you a photograph.It was taken by aFrance 24 crewduring the recent conflict. It shows two Hamas rocket launchers, which were used to attack us. You see three children playing next to them. Hamas deliberately put its rockets in hundreds of residential areas like this.Hundredsof them.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a war crime. 
And I say to President Abbas, these are the war crimes committed by your Hamas partners in the national unity government which you head and you are responsible for. And these are the real war crimes you should have investigated, or spoken out against from this podium last week.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
As Israeli children huddled in bomb shelters and Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system knocked Hamas rockets out of the sky, the profound moral difference between Israel and Hamas couldn’t have been clearer: 
Israel was using its missiles to protect its children.  
Hamas was using itschildren to protect its missiles.

By investigating Israel rather than Hamas for war crimes,the UN Human Rights Councilhas betrayed its noble mission to protect the innocent.In fact, what it’s doing is to turn the laws of war upside-down.Israel, which took unprecedented steps to minimize civilian casualties, Israel is condemned. Hamas, which both targeted and hid behind civilians – that a double war crime – Hamas is given a pass.
The Human Rights Council is thus sending a clear message to terrorists everywhere:
Use civilians as human shields.Use them again and again and again.You know why? Because sadly, it works.
By granting international legitimacy to the use of human shields, the UN’s Human Rights Council has thus become a Terrorist Rights Council, and it will have repercussions. It probably already has, about the use of civilians as human shields.
It’s not just our interest. It’s not just our values that are under attack. It’s your interests and your values.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
We live in a world steeped in tyranny and terror, where gays are hanged from cranes in Tehran, political prisoners are executed in Gaza, young girls are abducted en masse in Nigeriaand hundreds of thousands are butchered in Syria, Libya and Iraq. Yet nearly half, nearly half of the UN Human Rights Council’s resolutions focusing on a single country have been directed against Israel,the one true democracy in the Middle East –Israel.whereissues are openly debated in a boisterousparliament, where humanrights are protected by independent courts and where women, gays and minorities livein a genuinely free society.
The Human Rights…(that’s an oxymoron, the UN Human Rights Council, but I’ll use it just the same), the Council’sbiased treatment of Israel is only one manifestation of the return of the world’s oldest prejudices.  
We hear mobs today in Europe call for the gassingof Jews.We hear some national leaders compare Israel to the Nazis.This is not a function of Israel’s policies.It’s a function of diseased minds.And that disease has a name. It’s called anti-Semitism.
It is now spreading in polite society, where it masquerades as legitimate criticism of Israel. 
For centuries the Jewish people have been demonized withblood libels and charges ofdeicide.Today, the Jewish stateis demonized with the apartheid libel and charges of genocide.
Genocide?
In what moral universe does genocide include warning the enemy’s civilian population to get out of harm’s way?Or ensuring that they receive tons, tons of humanitarian aid each day, even as thousands of rockets are being fired at us?Or setting up a field hospital to aid for their wounded? 
Well, I suppose it’s the same moral universe where a man who wrote a dissertation of lies about the Holocaust, and who insists on a Palestine free of Jews, Judenrein, can stand at this podium and shamelessly accuse Israel of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
In the past, outrageous lies against the Jews were the precursors to the wholesale slaughter of our people.
But no more.
Today we, the Jewish people, have the power to defend ourselves.  
We will defend ourselves against our enemies on the battlefield.We will expose their lies against us in the court of public opinion.   
Israel will continue to stand proud and unbowed.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Despite the enormous challenges facing Israel, I believe we have an historic opportunity.
After decades of seeing Israel as their enemy, leading states in the Arab world increasingly recognize thattogether we and they face many of the same dangers:principally this means a nuclear-armed Iran andmilitant Islamist movements gaining ground in the Sunni world.

Our challengeis to transform these common interests to createa productive partnership. One that would builda more secure, peaceful and prosperous Middle East.
Together we can strengthenregional security. We can advance projects in water, agriculture,in transportation,in health, in energy,in so many fields.
I believe the partnership between us can also help facilitate peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
Many have long assumed that an Israeli-Palestinian peace can help facilitate a broader rapprochement between Israel and the Arab World. But these daysI think it may work the other way around:Namely that a broader rapprochementbetween Israel and the Arab world may help facilitate an Israeli-Palestinian peace.
And therefore, to achieve that peace, we must look not only to Jerusalem and Ramallah, but also to Cairo, to Amman, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and elsewhere.I believe peace can be realizedwith the active involvement of Arab countries, those that are willing to provide political, material and other indispensable support. 
I’m ready to make a historic compromise, not because Israel is occupying a foreign land. The people of Israel are not occupiers in the Land of Israel.History, archeology and common sense all make clear that we have had a singular attachment to this land for over 3,000 years.
I want peace because I want to create a better future for my people. 
But it must be a genuine peace,one that is anchored in mutual recognition and enduring security arrangements, rock solid security arrangements on the ground. Because you see, Israel’s withdrawals from Lebanon and Gaza created two militant Islamic enclaves on our borders from whichtens of thousands of rockets have been fired at Israel.

These sobering experiences heighten Israel’s security concerns regarding potential territorial concessions in the future. Those security concerns are even greater today. 
Just look around you.
The Middle East is in chaos. States are disintegrating. Militant Islamists are filling the void.
Israel cannot have territories from which it withdraws taken over byIslamic militants yet again, as happened in Gaza and Lebanon.That would place the likes of ISIS within mortar range – a few miles – of 80% of our population.
Think about that. The distance between the 1967 lines and the suburbs of Tel Aviv is like the distance between the UN building here and Times Square. Israel’s a tiny country.That’s why in any peace agreement, which will obviously necessitate a territorial compromise,I will always insist that Israel be able to defend itself by itself against any threat. 
Yet despite all that has happened, some still don’t take Israel’s security concerns seriously.  
But I do, and I always will.
Because, as Prime Minister of Israel, I am entrusted with the awesome responsibility of ensuring the future of the Jewish people and the future of the Jewish state.
And no matter what pressure is brought to bear, I will never waver in fulfilling that responsibility.
I believe that with a fresh approach from our neighbors, we can advance peace despite the difficulties we face.
In Israel, we have a record of making the impossible possible. We’ve made a desolate land flourish. And with very few natural resources, we have used the fertile minds of our people to turn Israel into a global center of technology and innovation.
Peace, of course, would enable Israel to realize its full potential and to bring a promising future not only for our people, not only for the Palestinian people, but for many, many others in our region.
But the old template for peace must be updated.It must takeinto account new realities and new roles and responsibilities for our Arab neighbors.  

Ladies and Gentlemen, 
There is a new Middle East. It presents new dangers, but also new opportunities.   
Israel is prepared to work with Arab partners and the international community to confront those dangers and to seize those opportunities.  
Together we must recognize the global threat of militant Islam, the primacy of dismantling Iran’s nuclear weapons capability andthe indispensable role of Arab states in advancing peace with the Palestinians.
All thismay fly in the face of conventional wisdom, but it’s the truth.And the truth must always be spoken, especially here, in the United Nations.
Isaiah, our great prophet of peace, taught us nearly 3,000years ago in Jerusalem to speak truth to power. 
 
??????? ??????? ??? ????????
????????? ???????????? ??? ?????????
???-????? ????????? ????????
????????????? ?????????? ???????.
For the sake of Zion, I will not be silent.
For the sake of Jerusalem, I will not be still.
Until her justice shinesbright,
And her salvation glows like a flaming torch.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let’s light a torch of truth and justiceto safeguard our common future.
Thank you.

Testimonio de un piloto que defendió Israel del bombardeo masivo iraní: «Objetivo tras objetivo, a un ritmo muy alto»

Agencia AJN.- «Ves un blanco y te das cuenta de que tenés que destruirlo antes de que llegue a casa», describió el capitán G.

Piloto israelí

Agencia AJN.- Durante horas se vivió una batalla aérea como nunca antes se había visto en Israel y el mundo. Decenas de aviones participaron en misiones de interceptación de más de 300 misiles y vehículos aéreos no tripulados dirigidos contra el Estado de Israel. Según los informes, aproximadamente el 99% fue interceptado, con la ayuda de una coalición internacional. Esa fue exactamente la ejecución de una operación que la Fuerza Aérea de Israel había estado entrenando durante años. El capitán G., piloto del Escuadrón 107 que participó en la operación, contó: «Fue un gran evento. Decís: ‘Para esto me alisté, para esto me entrené'».

«Es una sensación de tensión, expectativa, capacidad… Una sensación de querer despegar, estar allí y proteger: al escuadrón, a los amigos, a la familia», dijo el capitán G. al Canal 12 sobre los momentos tensos después de largos días de vigilancia. «Hacía unos días que había tensiones en el aire. El fin de semana anterior nos dimos cuenta de que empezaba a progresar. Ese sábado hubo una sensación más concreta: recibimos un mensaje para llegar al escuadrón. A las 19.30 hs., todos presentes, informados.»

Las tensiones alcanzaron su punto máximo en toda la Fuerza Aérea, dijo el subcomandante del Escuadrón 107, mayor A. El día anterior «recibimos la noticia de que esa noche era la noche: comenzamos a armar todos los aviones del escuadrón. El ala técnica logró en muy poco tiempo armar los aviones con misiles aire-aire, misiles contra objetivos. Trajimos a reservistas, miembros de tripulación aérea y combatientes que vinieron desde el Norte hasta el Sur».

«Despegás, sabés lo que hay que hacer, conocés el avión, los interruptores… Llegás a la zona y confías en vos mismo. Al final, entrenamos mucho solo para estos momentos», describió el capitán G. «Tan pronto como hay noticias de que las cosas están en el aire, el primer cuarteto despega; entendemos que hay algunos derribos».

A pesar de los numerosos preparativos, el capitán G., un piloto de 27 años que logró acumular bastantes horas de vuelo en la Franja de Gaza y el Líbano, declaró que se trataba de una misión diferente: «Estamos llegando a un acontecimiento que ya está ocurriendo, a un escenario que ya está caliente. Reconozco que hay un blanco, que eso no es un avión ligero o alguien que se confundió: te das cuenta de que es algo que está camino a casa y tenés que destruirlo antes de que llegue a casa.»

«Objetivo tras objetivo tras objetivo, a un ritmo muy alto. Nunca había tenido un vuelo así en mi vida», dijo el capitán G. «Al final, tan pronto como el dron cae, te das cuenta: ‘Genial, logré hacer una cosa’, pero eso no significa que podamos hacer lo que queramos. Hay otras armas y hay que estar concentrado».

Incluso ahora, el capitán G. enfatiza que la vigilancia continúa: «Siempre nos estamos preparando para lo siguiente; nunca se sabe lo que traerá el enemigo y, al final, estamos listos para cualquier escenario que pueda surgir. Estamos aquí para seguir trabajando… No estamos cegados por esto. Puede suceder mañana e incluso entonces tendremos que estar alertas y concentrados y ser capaces de defendernos y de asegurarnos de que ningún arma enemiga nos dañe en casa».
