NETANYAHU AT THE UN ~ SAME OLD SAME OLD

Yahoo

Warning: Possible necessity for bucket or barf bag. I read these key quotes and want to be ill at the amount of deception behind them. The double speak that so few are aware is being uttered before them. Let us not forget the out and out fabrications especially when you get to the section on Palestine!

DANGER OF IRAN WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS

At stake is not merely the future of my country; at stake is the future of the world. And 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. Now it makes little 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 are both fired by the same hatred. They are both driven by the same lust for violence.

ED: AH yes. Consider the Samson Option which exemplifies just how much Netanyahu cares about the future of the rest of the world. Then, consider the uses of Al Qaeda as NATO ground troops to move forward the American/Israeli agenda vs. a country that has not begun a war in many many centuries.

I speak about it now because the hour is getting late, very late. I speak about it now because the Iranian nuclear calendar does not take time out for anyone or for anything. I speak about it now because when it comes to the survival of my country, it is not only my right to speak; it is my duty to speak.

NUCLEAR DETERRENCE

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.

ED: What hordes? Who funds and promotes the MEK within Iran to target scientists and ordinary citizens?  And who, dare I ask, made suicide bombing such a statement with its Mossad using this technique for decades?

 

RED LINES FOR IRAN

At this late hour, there is only one way to peacefully prevent Iran from getting atomic bombs and 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.

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.

Ladies and gentlemen, the relevant question is not when Iran would 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

THE POINT OF NO RETURN

Before Iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment necessary to make a bomb. Before Iran gets to a point where it is a few months away, or a few weeks away from amassing enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon. Now each day that point is getting closer and that's why I speak today with such a sense of urgency.

Ed: Netanyahu and Israel have been yabbering away over the bringing down of Iran for many decades. The sense of urgency is desperation because the world refuses to act upon Israel’s hysterics.

By next spring, at most by next summer, at current enrichment rates, they will have finished the medium enrichment and moved 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.

ALLIANCE WITH US

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.

THE MIDDLE EAST PEACE PROCESS

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 them. 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.

ED: at this point, I dissolved into tears of laughter at this man and his constant lies. How can ONE word of what he said be believable when he says such things about the Palestine and Jewish state? I mean, seriously folks, would you buy a used car from this guy?

NETANYAHU’S UN SPEECH: 
FAMILIAR TACTICS GET THE JOB DONE

Here we have a review of Netanyahu’s speech at the UN from Haaretz, supposedly Israel’s more moderate news publication. They give him full approval for his words and actions. No big surprises here are there? So is that enough said for the moment about the Israeli slant on this issue?

September28, 2012

Without divulging any breaking news, Netanyahu uses the same combination of theatrics, PR and visual aids that he’s famous for to convey his position on Iran.

On Thursday night in New York, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did one of his favorite things: He made a speech. To his credit, it’s been said he did a good job. He’s had many opportunities to speak since assuming the role of prime minister ~ at Bar Ilan University here in Israel, in front of the U.S. Congress, and last year also at the U.N., among others.

Every speech is imbued with an air of decisiveness and fate; each one the speech of a lifetime. Some would say that Netanyahu lives to speak to a crowd. Others would point out that actually, Netanyahu speaks to live (politically, that is).

In the days before his trip to New York, Netanyahu’s advisers said he was writing his speech on his own. Media outlets reported he was investing upwards of 20 hours a day in it. A few minutes after landing in New York, the Prime Minister’s Office released a photo of Netanyahu hard at work on his speech in-flight. Others close to the prime minister said he would revise and restructure the speech until the moment he took the podium.

Minutes before takeoff, Netanyahu emerged for a few moments to goad the press on the fact that none of the speech’s content had been leaked. He only offered that “it will be a newsworthy speech,” before retreating to his private area.

Netanyahu’s speech was good. Indeed it was written in his image, with his spirit ~ a combination of marketing, public relations, some slightly exaggerated theatrics, and the use of visual aides to convey his message. The cartoon bomb he pulled out for the crowd is akin to his famous triangle of national challenges, scribbled on the whiteboard of his office and later sensationalized on Facebook.

The dramatic performance ~ unsheathing the marker, drawing the red line ~ was perhaps slightly childish, but it got the job done. Netanyahu’s stunt is sure to become a headline picture for many an international news outlet. And if that leads to more worldwide coverage of Iran’s uranium enrichment, that’s a good thing.

Netanyahu’s speech did not include any breaking news. He did not reveal new information about Iran’s nuclear program or make any original claims. He largely shied away from comments against the Iranian regime and didn’t address his relations with U.S. President Barack Obama.

The prime minister did everything he could to portray a united front with the American government. He commended Obama’s actions against Iran and told world diplomats that Israel and America are proceeding with close cooperation on the Iran issue.

U.S. ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, who has been at the forefront of the media storm surrounding U.S.-Israeli tensions, did not hesitate to relay his government’s satisfaction with Netanyahu’s speech. Shapiro noted that the prime minister’s speech emphasized that Israel and the United States share a common goal and are working together to achieve it.

If there is any news to be found in Netanyahu’s speech, it is the timeline Netanyahu presented for military action. In recent weeks, Netanyahu has been hinting at a timeline determined by American elections. Now, Netanyahu has provided the worried international community, and the worried Israeli public, with a notable postponement.

Any Israeli military action against Iranian nuclear facilities won’t take place until at least April or even July of 2013. If that’s all we learned from Netanyahu’s trip to the United States, that’s enough.
