"The Nazis believed in a master race. Militant Islamists believe in a master faith...."
It gets even better, but I couldn't type fast enough. Bibi is a poor prime minister imho, but a gifted orator.
Bibi couldn't be more correct.
Obama may or may not allow terrorists to fire missiles at our cities, but one thing is certain - he would believe we deserve it.
Nah, we don’t let them fire rockets, we let them send in disease ridden children
Members of the United Nations. A lot has been said about Israel using force that wasn't comparative to the force used against it. Let me challenge you to contemplate this concept.
Each day hundreds, sometimes thousands of rocket are fired broadside into this very building. Windows are broken, damage is significant, but lives are not lost. None the less, the members of the U. N. here must run for cover all day long.
On occasion one or more members of the U. N. are killed. Their families have lost a provider, a husband, a wife, a child, a spouse, a brother, a sister, a nephew, a neice...
Would you be angry if someone put a stop to it, meeting force with force? No you would not. You would realize that each missile was capable of killing people. You would know that literally hundreds or thousands of attempted murders were taking place each day.
We will not tolerate hundreds or thousands of attempted murders taking place on Israel's soil.
You can elect to leave your members exposed to death if you like. We will not elect to leave Israel's citizens exposed to attempted murder.
If this has not clarified the issue for you, this should. How long would the U. N. allow Israel to fire thousands of missiles into Palestinian territory each day, before passing resolutions to stop it and condemn Israel?
I submit that's exactly how long you should have allowed the Palestinians to do it. Instead you remained silent for years. Then when you took action, you condemned us instead of them.
We implore the U. N. to treat both sides equally. Sadly we recognize the U. N. does not do this, even though it pats itself on the back for having done so.
This needs to end.
Thank you for your time.

Your ‘sugar quote’ is about one-third of the way in. I agree with you about his oratory.

A VANITY REPLY:
There have been photos of Netanyahu in his IDF Special Forces uniform and of Obunga smoking a joint, posted on FR occasionally. Would someone who has both photos be so kind as to send them to me in a Reply to this note?
Thank you.
