Iran and North Korea respond to Netanyahu
Two countries felt that they needed to respond to Prime Minister Netanyahu's UN General Assembly speech: Iran and North Korea. Anne Bayefsky reports:North Korea called Israel “a cancer in the Middle East.”
The Iranian ambassador pounded his chest and then said Iran was guilty of nothing but a “smile attack.”
Ironically, the two made Netanyahu’s case for him. The threats of antisemitism and of nuclear weapons in the hands of states sponsors of terror are inextricably bound.
The Israeli Prime Minister pointed to a series of inconvenient facts about Iranian intentions and actions that the Obama administration has either rejected or ignored in its quest for peace in our time.
When the Iranian regime’s stooges chant “death to the Jews” they mean it. Rouhani is “acceptable” inside Iran because he’s a loyal follower of its Supreme Leader.
There was nothing democratic about Rouhani’s election, which came after 99% of candidates were banned from running.
Rouhani is no innocent; he was national security advisor while his regime murdered Israelis and Americans around the world.
After his appointment, the Iranian nuclear weapons program has continued unabated. His rhetoric may be “soothing,” but there is no substantial difference with his predecessor, Ahmadinejad.
In Netanyahu’s words: “I wish I could believe Rouhani, but I don't. Because facts are stubborn things.”
His problem, however, is that President Obama is even more stubborn.Here's an interview with Israel's Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon (unfortunately, it takes a few seconds for the sound to kick in).
Let's go to the videotape.
