Yonathan Netanyahu –
It’s a pleasure to see the General Assembly presided by the Ambassador from Israel, and it’s good to see all of you, distinguished delegates.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Three thousand years ago, King David reigned over the Jewish state in our eternal capital, Jerusalem. I say that to all those who proclaim that the Jewish state has no roots in our region and that it will soon disappear.
Throughout our history, the Jewish people have overcome all the tyrants who have sought our destruction. It’s their ideologies that have been discarded by history.
The people of Israel live on. We say in Hebrew Am Yisrael Chai, and the Jewish state will live forever.
The Jewish people have lived in the land of Israel for thousands of years. Even after most of our people were exiled from it, Jews continued to live in the land of Israel throughout the ages. The masses of our people never gave up the dreamed of returning to our ancient homeland.
Defying the laws of history, we did just that. We ingathered the exiles, restored our independence and rebuilt our national life. The Jewish people have come home.
We will never be uprooted again.
Yesterday was Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year.
Every year, for over three millennia, we have come together on this day of reflection and atonement. We take stock of our past. We pray for our future. We remember the sorrows of our persecution; we remember the great travails of our dispersion; we mourn the extermination of a third of our people, six million, in the Holocaust.
But at the end of Yom Kippur, we celebrate.
We celebrate the rebirth of Israel. We celebrate the heroism of our young men and women who have defended our people with the indomitable courage of Joshua, David, and the Maccabees of old. We celebrate the marvel of the flourishing modern Jewish state.
In Israel, we walk the same paths tread by our patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But we blaze new trails in science, technology, medicine, agriculture.
In Israel, the past and the future find common ground.
Unfortunately, that is not the case in many other countries. For today, a great battle is being waged between the modern and the medieval.
The forces of modernity seek a bright future in which the rights of all are protected, in which an ever-expanding digital library is available in the palm of every child, in which every life is sacred.
The forces of medievalism seek a world in which women and minorities are subjugated, in which knowledge is suppressed, in which not life but death is glorified.
These forces clash around the globe, but nowhere more starkly than in the Middle East.
Israel stands proudly with the forces of modernity. We protect the rights of all our citizens: men and women, Jews and Arabs, Muslims and Christians – all are equal before the law.
Israel is also making the world a better place: our scientists win Nobel Prizes. Our know-how is in every cell-phone and computer that you’re using. We prevent hunger by irrigating arid lands in Africa and Asia.
Recently, I was deeply moved when I visited Technion, one of our technological institutes in Haifa, and I saw a man paralyzed from the waist down climb up a flight of stairs, quite easily, with the aid of an Israeli invention.
And Israel’s exceptional creativity is matched by our people’s remarkable compassion. When disaster strikes anywhere in the world – in Haiti, Japan, India, Turkey Indonesia and elsewhere – Israeli doctors are among the first on the scene, performing life-saving surgeries.
In the past year, I lost both my father and my father-in-law. In the same hospital wards where they were treated, Israeli doctors were treating Palestinian Arabs. In fact, every year, thousands of Arabs from the Palestinian territories and Arabs from throughout the Middle East come to Israel to be treated in Israeli hospitals by Israeli doctors.
I know you’re not going to hear that from speakers around this podium, but that’s the truth. It’s important that you are aware of this truth.
It’s because Israel cherishes life, that Israel cherishes peace and seeks peace.
We seek to preserve our historic ties and our historic peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan. We seek to forge a durable peace with the Palestinians.
President Abbas just spoke here.
I say to him and I say to you:
We won’t solve our conflict with libelous speeches at the UN. That’s not the way to solve it. We won’t solve our conflict with unilateral declarations of statehood.
We have to sit together, negotiate together, and reach a mutual compromise, in which a demilitarized Palestinian state recognizes the one and only Jewish State.
Israel wants to see a Middle East of progress and peace. We want to see the three great religions that sprang forth from our region – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – coexist in peace and in mutual respect.
Yet the medieval forces of radical Islam, whom you just saw storming the American embassies throughout the Middle East, they oppose this.
They seek supremacy over all Muslims. They are bent on world conquest. They want to destroy Israel, Europe, America. They want to extinguish freedom. They want to end the modern world.
Militant Islam has many branches – from the rulers of Iran with their Revolutionary Guards to Al Qaeda terrorists to the radical cells lurking in every part of the globe.
But despite their differences, they are all rooted in the same bitter soil of intolerance. That intolerance is directed first at their fellow Muslims, and then to Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, secular people, anyone who doesn’t submit to their unforgiving creed.
They want to drag humanity back to an age of unquestioning dogma and unrelenting conflict.
I am sure of one thing. Ultimately they will fail. Ultimately, light will penetrate the darkness.
We’ve seen that happen before.
Some five hundred years ago, the printing press helped pry a cloistered Europe out of a dark age. Eventually, ignorance gave way to enlightenment.
So too, a cloistered Middle East will eventually yield to the irresistible power of freedom and technology. When this happens, our region will be guided not by fanaticism and conspiracy, but by reason and curiosity.
I think the relevant question is this: it’s not whether this fanaticism will be defeated. It’s how many lives will be lost before it’s defeated.
We’ve seen that happen before too.
Some 70 years ago, the world saw another fanatic ideology bent on world conquest. It went down in flames. But not before it took millions of people with it. Those who opposed that fanaticism waited too long to act. In the end they triumphed, but at an horrific cost.
My friends, we cannot let that happen again.
At stake is not merely the future of my own country. At stake is the future of the world. Nothing could imperil our common future more than the arming of Iran with nuclear weapons.
To understand what the world would be like with a nuclear-armed Iran, just imagine the world with a nuclear-armed Al-Qaeda.
It makes no difference whether these lethal weapons are in the hands of the world’s most dangerous terrorist regime or the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization. They’re both fired by the same hatred; they’re both driven by the same lust for violence.
Just look at what the Iranian regime has done up till now,
without nuclear
weapons.
In 2009, they brutally put down mass protests for democracy in their own
country. Today, their henchmen are participating in the slaughter of tens of
thousands of Syrian civilians, including thousands of children, directly
participating in this murder.
They abetted the killing of American soldiers in Iraq and continue to do so in
Afghanistan. Before that, Iranian proxies killed hundreds of American troops
in Beirut and in Saudi Arabia. They’ve turned Lebanon and Gaza into terror
strongholds, embedding nearly 100,000 missiles and rockets in civilian areas.
Thousands of these rockets and missiles have already been fired at Israeli
communities by their terrorist proxies.
In the last year, they’ve spread their international terror networks to two
dozen countries across five continents – from India and Thailand to Kenya
and Bulgaria. They’ve even plotted to blow up a restaurant a few blocks from
the White House in order to kill a diplomat.
And of course, Iran’s rulers repeatedly deny the Holocaust and call for Israel’s
destruction almost on a daily basis, as they did again this week from the
United Nations.
So I ask you, given this record of Iranian aggression without nuclear weapons,
just imagine Iranian aggression with nuclear weapons. Imagine their long
range missiles tipped with nuclear warheads, their terror networks armed
with atomic bombs.
Who among you would feel safe in the Middle East? Who would be safe in
Europe? Who would be safe in America? Who would be safe anywhere?
There are those who believe that a nuclear-armed Iran can be deterred like the
Soviet Union.
That’s a very dangerous assumption.
Militant Jihadists behave very differently from secular Marxists. There were
no Soviet suicide bombers. Yet Iran produces hordes of them.
Deterrence worked with the Soviets, because every time the Soviets faced a
choice between their ideology and their survival, they chose their survival.
But deterrence may not work with the Iranians once they get nuclear weapons.
There’s a great scholar of the Middle East, Prof. Bernard Lewis, who put it
best. He said that for the Ayatollahs of Iran, mutually assured destruction is
not a deterrent, it’s an inducement.
Iran’s apocalyptic leaders believe that a medieval holy man will reappear in
the wake of a devastating Holy War, thereby ensuring that their brand of
radical Islam will rule the earth.
That’s not just what they believe. That’s what is actually guiding their policies
and their actions.
Just listen to Ayatollah Rafsanjani who said, I quote: ”The use of even one
nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything, however it would only
harm the Islamic world.”
Rafsanjani said: “It is not irrational to contemplate such an eventuality.”
Not irrational…
And that’s coming from one of the so-called moderates of Iran.
Shockingly, some people have begun to peddle the absurd notion that a
nuclear-armed Iran would actually stabilize the Middle East.
Yeah, right…
That’s like saying a nuclear-armed Al-Qaeda would usher in an era of
universal peace.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I’ve been speaking about the need to prevent Iran from developing nuclear
weapons for over 15 years.
I spoke about it in my first term in office as Prime Minister, and then I spoke
about it when I left office. I spoke about it when it was fashionable, and I
spoke about it when it wasn’t fashionable.
I speak about it now because the hour is getting late, very late. I speak about it
now because the Iranian nuclear calendar doesn’t take time out for anyone or
for anything. I speak about it now because when it comes to the survival of my
country, it’s not only my right to speak; it’s my duty to speak. And I believe
that this is the duty of every responsible leader who wants to preserve world
peace.
For nearly a decade, the international community has tried to stop the Iranian
nuclear program with diplomacy.
That hasn’t worked.
Iran uses diplomatic negotiations as a means to buy time to advance its
nuclear program.
For over seven years, the international community has tried sanctions with
Iran. Under the leadership of President Obama, the international community
has passed some of the strongest sanctions to date.
I want to thank the governments represented here that have joined in this
effort. It’s had an effect. Oil exports have been curbed and the Iranian
economy has been hit hard.
It’s had an effect on the economy, but we must face the truth. Sanctions have
not stopped Iran’s nuclear program either.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, during the last year
alone, Iran has doubled the number of centrifuges in its underground nuclear
facility in Qom.
At this late hour, there is only one way to peacefully prevent Iran from getting
atomic bombs. That’s by placing a clear red line on Iran’s nuclear weapons
program.
Red lines don’t lead to war; red lines prevent war.
Look at NATO’s charter: it made clear that an attack on one member country
would be considered an attack on all. NATO’s red line helped keep the peace
in Europe for nearly half a century.
President Kennedy set a red line during the Cuban Missile Crisis. That red line
also prevented war and helped preserve the peace for decades.
In fact, it’s the failure to place red lines that has often invited aggression.
If the Western powers had drawn clear red lines during the 1930s, I believe
they would have stopped Nazi aggression and World War II might have been
avoided.
In 1990, if Saddam Hussein had been clearly told that his conquest of Kuwait
would cross a red line, the first Gulf War might have been avoided.
Clear red lines have also worked with Iran.
Earlier this year, Iran threatened to close the Straits of Hormouz. The United
States drew a clear red line and Iran backed off.
Red lines could be drawn in different parts of Iran’s nuclear weapons
program. But to be credible, a red line must be drawn first and foremost in
one vital part of their program: on Iran’s efforts to enrich uranium. Now let
me explain why:
Basically, any bomb consists of explosive material and a mechanism to ignite
it.
The simplest example is gunpowder and a fuse. That is, you light the fuse and
set off the gunpowder.
In the case of Iran’s plans to build a nuclear weapon, the gunpowder is
enriched uranium. The fuse is a nuclear detonator.
For Iran, amassing enough enriched uranium is far more difficult than
producing the nuclear fuse.
For a country like Iran, it takes many, many years to enrich uranium for a
bomb. That requires thousands of centrifuges spinning in tandem in very big
industrial plants. Those Iranian plants are visible and they’re still vulnerable.
In contrast, Iran could produce the nuclear detonator – the fuse – in a lot less
time, maybe under a year, maybe only a few months.
The detonator can be made in a small workshop the size of a classroom. It may
be very difficult to find and target that workshop, especially in Iran. That’s a
country that’s bigger than France, Germany, Italy and Britain combined.
The same is true for the small facility in which they could assemble a warhead
or a nuclear device that could be placed in a container ship. Chances are you
won’t find that facility either.
So in fact the only way that you can credibly prevent Iran from developing a
nuclear weapon, is to prevent Iran from amassing enough enriched uranium
for a bomb.
So, how much enriched uranium do you need for a bomb? And how close is
Iran to getting it?
Let me show you. I brought a diagram for you. Here’s the diagram.
This is a bomb; this is a fuse.
In the case of Iran’s nuclear plans to build a bomb, this bomb has to be filled
with enough enriched uranium. And Iran has to go through three stages.
The first stage: they have to enrich enough of low enriched uranium.
The second stage: they have to enrich enough medium enriched uranium.
And the third stage and final stage: they have to enrich enough high enriched
uranium for the first bomb.
Where’s Iran? Iran’s completed the first stage. It took them many years, but
they completed it and they’re 70% of the way there.
Now they are well into the second stage. By next spring, at most by next
summer at current enrichment rates, they will have finished the medium
enrichment and move on to the final stage.
From there, it’s only a few months, possibly a few weeks before they get
enough enriched uranium for the first bomb.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
What I told you now is not based on secret information. It’s not based on
military intelligence. It’s based on public reports by the International Atomic
Energy Agency. Anybody can read them. They’re online.
So if these are the facts, and they are, where should the red line be drawn?
The red line should be drawn right here…………..
Before Iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment necessary to
make a bomb.
Before Iran gets to a point where it’s a few months away or a few weeks away
from amassing enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon.
Each day, that point is getting closer. That’s why I speak today with such a
sense of urgency. And that’s why everyone should have a sense of urgency.
Some who claim that even if Iran completes the enrichment process, even if it
crosses that red line that I just drew, our intelligence agencies will know when
and where Iran will make the fuse, assemble the bomb, and prepare the
warhead.
Look, no one appreciats our intelligence agencies more than the Prime
Minister of Israel. All these leading intelligence agencies are superb, including
ours. They’ve foiled many attacks. They’ve saved many lives.
But they are not foolproof.
For over two years, our intelligence agencies didn’t know that Iran was
building a huge nuclear enrichment plant under a mountain.
Do we want to risk the security of the world on the assumption that we would
find in time a small workshop in a country half the size of Europe?
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The relevant question is not when Iran will get the bomb. The relevant
question is at what stage can we no longer stop Iran from getting the bomb.
The red line must be drawn on Iran’s nuclear enrichment program because
these enrichment facilities are the only nuclear installations that we can
definitely see and credibly target.
I believe that faced with a clear red line, Iran will back down.
This will give more time for sanctions and diplomacy to convince Iran to
dismantle its nuclear weapons program altogether.
Two days ago, from this podium, President Obama reiterated that the threat of
a nuclear-armed Iran cannot be contained.
I very much appreciate the President’s position as does everyone in my
country. We share the goal of stopping Iran’s nuclear weapons program. This
goal unites the people of Israel. It unites Americans, Democrats and
Republicans alike and it is shared by important leaders throughout the world.
What I have said today will help ensure that this common goal is achieved.
Israel is in discussions with the United States over this issue, and I am
confident that we can chart a path forward together.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The clash between modernity and medievalism need not be a clash between
progress and tradition.
The traditions of the Jewish people go back thousands of years. They are the
source of our collective values and the foundation of our national strength.
At the same time, the Jewish people have always looked towards the future.
Throughout history, we have been at the forefront of efforts to expand liberty,
promote equality, and advance human rights.
We champion these principles not despite of our traditions but because of
them.
We heed the words of the Jewish prophets Isaiah, Amos, and Jeremiah to
treat all with dignity and compassion, to pursue justice and cherish life and to
pray and strive for peace.
These are the timeless values of my people and these are the Jewish people’s
greatest gift to mankind.
Let us commit ourselves today to defend these values so that we can defend
our freedom and protect our common civilization.
Thank you

The New York Times Did It Again
The New York Times has recently waffledwith greater gusto than an Eggo® freshly discharged from a toaster. As first spotted by a keen Twitter/X user, the Times switched its description of Hamas belligerents from “terrorists” to “gunmen” in the subhead of a piece titled “Hamas Leaves Trail of Terror in Israel.” After millions viewed the tweet, and condemned such editorializing, the Times quietly switched “gunmen” back to “terrorists.”
While this faux pas may seem minor, just think: In the midst of horrifying reports of Hamas beheading babies and burning Israeli families alive, editors at the New York Times must have had a conversation about whether they ought to refer to the perpetrators of such heinous acts as “terrorists” or “gunmen,” and then decided “terrorists” was a little too harsh.
The Times is not the only publication to soften its rhetoric on Hamas. In the Washington Post’s live feed of the bloody conflict in Israel, Hamas members are regularly referred to as “militants.” The word “terrorist” is made conspicuous by its absence.
The primeval urge on the left to safeguard the narrative of oppressor vs. oppressed is keeping many from calling Hamas what it is — a terrorist group devoted to eradicating Jews from the face of the earth. While many impoverished Palestinians may view Hamas as the least bad option out of the few bad options available to them, this does not at all excuse or negate the evil mission core to the organization.
The radical-chic models of colonialist sociology simply do not apply to Israel. The state of Israel came about as the return of a people to their ancestral homeland after genocidal decimation — it is intellectually dishonest to equate the Jewish people and the land of Israel with, say, the British and the West Indies or the Dutch and South Africa.
Oh the Times, ever and always embodying the limits of the liberal virtue of tolerance.

Bill Kristol opines on Pryor-Cotton race, talks about Clinton in 2016
Submitted by The City Wire Staff on Sun, 07/20/2014 – 5:50pm
The Weekly Standard founder, publisher and editor Bill Kristol says Arkansas is “almost” a must-win for Republicans if they are to take back the U.S. Senate. Appearing on this week’s Talk Business & Politics TV program, Kristol said the Mark Pryor-Tom Cotton U.S. Senate battle is high on national political watch lists and that a Cotton victory is crucial to GOP ambitions. “If Republicans want to win the Senate in November, this one is almost a must-win,” said Kristol, who was in Arkansas as a keynote speaker at the Arkansas GOP’s Reagan-Rockefeller dinner. Kristol said he expects a close race this fall in the high-profile match-up and that there are two reasons why the contest is so tight. “Incumbents are hard to beat and, I gather from my friends in Arkansas, that a Pryor is hard to beat,” Kristol said. He added that outside Democratic group attacks have been effective in tainting Cotton, although he disagrees with their accuracy. Kristol offered his take on why Arkansas has not shifted into a Republican stronghold like other Southern states such as Mississippi, Alabama or Texas. One reason, he said, is the political power of Bill Clinton whom he described as a “very different kind of Democrat” as governor and as president. Clinton “tacked to the center” often unlike President Barack Obama. “Barack Obama is not the kind of Democrat that traditional Arkansas Democrats are interested in supporting,” Kristol said, citing Clinton’s bipartisan budget deals, welfare reforms, and foreign policy efforts. ARKANSAS IMPORTANCE Kristol also said that Arkansas has always carried much sway in U.S. politics owing to its larger-than-life, influential state politicians who’ve made big impacts on the national stage. “Arkansas has always been a state of outsized interest and importance nationally,” he said. Kristol grew up studying Sen. J. William Fulbright, and he’s long watched the careers of other politicians like Bill Clinton and Mike Huckabee. “For a small state, it has always produced nationally significant politicians. I think people in Washington kind of remember that,” said Kristol.
While 2014 will be a monumental election year, it’s hard not to think about 2016. Kristol said it’s too early to predict the GOP Presidential nominee, but he sees a reversal of fortunes in what he describes as a “wide-open” Republican field. “Republicans used to nominate the next in line, the second place finisher from four or eight years before. Democrats usually have interesting wide-open races,” he said. “It looks like this time, the Democrats are nominating the next in line — the person who ran second in 2008, Hillary Clinton. Republicans are having more of what looks like a classic Democratic primary — governors, senators, former candidates. A lot of them young, a lot of them untested nationally. As a Republican, I like that.”
While he voted for Dole, McCain and Romney, he said those Presidential nominees weren’t the best match-ups versus Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. “The irony in 2016 is the Republicans will have the younger, fresher face and the Democrats will be nominating someone whose been around for awhile,” he said.
