Watching Israel’s
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu address the 70th United Nations General
Assembly on Wednesday, his countenance seemed inexplicably restless as he
reached for first one pair of glasses then exchanging them for another in his
jacket breast pocket.
He gazed upon the
audience noting the representatives of the nations assembled there walking out
and the conspicuous absence of those who had already left the auditorium to
boycott his speech. That gesture was heralding
what would follow a short time later in his speech.
On Monday, in her
speech on the floor of the UN General Assembly, Argentine President Cristina
Fernandez de Kirchner revealed that former White House Coordinator for Arms
Control and Weapons of Mass Destruction, Gary Samore, attempted
to convince Argentina to provide the Islamic Republic of Iran with nuclear
fuel to increase its nuclear capabilities.
According to
Kirchner, when Samore was asked to provide the request in writing, all
communication from the United States ceased. “This message was conveyed and I
believe that was the last time, after that communication, that our Minister of
Foreign Affairs saw Gary Samore.”
NOTE: Buried
within a press release issued in August of this year, UANI (United Against
Nuclear Iran) announced its president, Mr. Samore, had resigned his post. Responding to this bombshell, a senior
administration official told The
Blaze that “the fuel swap story is old news and was a confidence
building gesture.”
The World’s Most
Dangerous Community Organizer finds America’s allegiance to Israel problematic because
of Israel’s ferocious opposition to a nuclear deal with Iran. In a speech at the American University in
Washington he said, “I believe the facts support this deal. I believe they are in America’s interests and
Israel’s interests, and as President of the United States it would be an
abrogation of my constitutional duty to act against my best judgment simply
because it causes temporary friction with a dear friend and ally.”
Taken together, it is
easy to understand the thundering rage expressed by Prime Minister Netanyahu as
it becomes more and more clear that Israel stands alone and this president
continues his humiliating treatment of our closest ally.
From an excerpt of
his speech:
The vast majority of
Israelis believe that this nuclear deal with Iran is a very bad deal. And what
makes matters even worse is that we see a world celebrating this bad deal,
rushing to embrace and do business with a regime openly committed to our
destruction.
[SKIP]
Last month, Khamenei
once again made his genocidal intentions clear before Iran’s top clerical body,
the Assembly of Experts. He spoke about Israel, home to over six million Jews.
He pledged, “there will be no Israel in 25 years.”
Seventy years after
the murder of six million Jews, Iran’s rulers promise to destroy my country.
Murder my people. And the response from this body, the response from nearly
every one of the governments represented here has been absolutely nothing!
Utter silence!
Deafening silence.
(At this point, Netanyahu
paused for 45 seconds panning the hall with a furrowing glare)
Perhaps you can now
understand why Israel is not joining you in celebrating this deal. If Iran’s
rulers were working to destroy your countries, perhaps you’d be less
enthusiastic about the deal. If Iran’s terror proxies were firing thousands of
rockets at your cities, perhaps you’d be more measured in your praise. And if
this deal were unleashing a nuclear arms race in your neighborhood, perhaps
you’d be more reluctant to celebrate.
But don’t think that
Iran is only a danger to Israel. Besides Iran’s aggression in the Middle East
and its terror around the world, Iran is also building intercontinental
ballistic missiles whose sole purpose is to carry nuclear warheads. Now
remember this: Iran already has missiles
that can reach Israel. So those intercontinental ballistic missiles that Iran
is building—they’re not meant for us—They’re meant for
you. For Europe. For America. For raining down mass destruction—anytime,
anywhere.
