Did you notice all the empty seats while BiBi was speaking?
Shameful.
America out of the UN.
the UN out of America.
yep
yep
What a great speech. Something I like about it is how real it is. It’s like it’s not even trying to be a great speech, unlike Obama’s speeches, which are always trying so hard.
Mesmerizing. Reminded me of the magnificent speech Aba Iban made i1967 era.. The truth sets you free.
Wow-— BiBi’s speech wasn’t just a home run but a grand slam. What an expose and historical review to present day relevance.
Thanks for posting the transcript. That was a great speech. Personally, I think Israel would do better by herself if she drove all the “palestinians” from Gaza and the West Bank to Jordan, which is the true “palestinian” state.
Later
What I find potentially hilarious is that if Palestine is recognized as a state, it will have all the responsibilites of one (such as living at peace with it’s neighbors). If Hamas and the Palestinian Authority cannot prevent attacks against Israel, then Israel is fully justified in taking the offensive in response to such attacks.
Having attacks launched again you from the territory of another state is a legitimate Casus Belli if the other state does nothing to prevent it.
Additionally, the UN charter (Article 51, I believe), says that there is nothing to stop a country from engaging in self-defense.
So Israel targetting and attacking those responsible for such attacks would fall under that category.
Welcome to the burdens of statehood, Palestine!
