A Message for the Tyrants of Tehran

Watching Bibi Netanyahu addressing the UN’s General Assembly always makes me want to cheer. Two years ago, Israel alone opposed the horrible Iranian nuclear deal that the US negotiated and declared Israel would defend itself and that the world was making a terrible mistake. As Iran continues to develop its nuclear program and the IAEA appears emasculated, Bibi was back on Thursday to tell them:

I also have a message today for the tyrants of Tehran. Israel knows what you’re doing, and Israel knows where you’re doing it. Israel will never let a regime that calls for our destruction to develop nuclear weapons. Not now, not in ten years, not ever. And Israel will do whatever it must do to to defend itself against Iran’s aggression. We will continue to act against you in Syria. We will act against you in Lebanon. We will act against you in Iraq. We will act against you whenever and wherever we must act, to defend our state and to defend our people.

May the Lord bless Israel and its Prime Minister.

    Yeah, man! I always thought he’d make a great American president, but I’m glad Israel has him.

    I have an important confession to make. This may surprise you, but I have to admit that the Iran deal has had one positive consequence. An unintended one, but a positive consequence. By empowering Iran, it brought Israel and many Arab states closer together than ever before. Closer together than ever before, in an intimacy and friendship that I’ve not seen in my lifetime and would have been unimaginable a few years ago. [applause] And you know, when you form friendships around a threat, around a challenge, you quickly see opportunities. Not only for security, but how to bring a better life for our people, which Israel can help and wants to help do. Israel deeply values these new friendships, and I hope the day will soon arrive when Israel will be able to expand peace, a formal peace, beyond Egypt and Jordan to other Arab neighbors including the Palestinians. I look forward to working with President Trump and his peace team to achieve that goal.

    Amen!

    I am privileged to stand here as the prime minister of the Jewish and democratic state of Israel. Some believe that Israel cannot be both Jewish and democratic. This is false. Israel is both, and Israel will always remain both. Ever since Abraham and Sarah made their journey to the promised land nearly 4000 years ago, the land of Israel has been our homeland. It’s the place where Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah and Rachel, carried out their eternal covenant with God. It is where Joshua made us a sovereign nation, where David ruled, and Isaiah preached, where the Maccabees fought, and where Masada fell. It’s the place from which we were exiled, and to which we returned, rebuilding our ancient and eternal capital, Jerusalem. 

    The nation-state of Israel is the only place where the Jewish people proudly exercise our collective right of self-determination. That right was recognized nearly a century ago by the League of Nations, and over 70 years ago by the United Nations. when it voted to establish, or rather, to support the establishment of a Jewish state. That’s what it said, that resolution, a Jewish state!
