Israel’s stand against Islamism found the nation’s prime minister dropping literal and figurative bombs when a strike against Hezbollah followed a scathing rebuke of the “U.N. house of darkness.”
Speaking before the United Nation’s General Assembly on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reminded the body of the lines separating a coalition of Arab partners in the Middle East working toward the “betterment of 2 billion people,” and those part of the “arc of terror” traced back to Iran.
Distinguishing between the “blessing” and the “curse,” Netanyahu proceeded to decry the U.N. for its actions that have aligned with Hamas, Hezbollah and their sponsors. “The singling out of the one and only Jewish state continues to be a moral stain on the United Nations. It has made the once-respected institution contemptible in the eyes of decent people everywhere.”
“For the Palestinians, this U.N. house of darkness is home court,” asserted the prime minister. “They know that in this swamp of antisemitic bile, there’s an automatic majority willing to demonize the Jewish State on anything. In this anti-Israel flat-earth society, any false change, any outlandish allegation can muster a majority.”

Having highlighted the evils committed by the terrorist organizations that included the Oct. 7, 2023 attack, Netanyahu reminded, “In this battle between good and evil, there must be no equivocation. When you stand with Israel, you stand for your own values and your own interests. Yes, we’re defending you against a common enemy that, through violence and terror, seeks to destroy our way of life. So there should be no confusion about this, but unfortunately, there is a lot of it in many countries and in this very hall, as I’ve just heard.”
“Good is portrayed as evil, and evil is portrayed as good,” he added.
Contrasting the heinous acts against men, women and children with the peaceable efforts of aid that included the Abraham Accords led by then-President Donald Trump, the prime minister called out that since 2014, 174 condemnations of Israel by the U.N. exceeded those of all other nations combined by just over 100. “What hypocrisy. What a double standard. What a joke.”
“So, all the speeches you heard today, all the hostility directed at Israel this year–it’s not about Gaza; it’s about Israel. It’s always been about Israel. About Israel’s very existence. And I say to you, until Israel, until the Jewish state, is treated like other nations, until this antisemitic swamp is drained, the U.N. will be viewed by fair-minded people everywhere as nothing more than a contemptuous force,” stated Netanyahu.
It was then that he brought up how the International Criminal Court had treated Israel’s counteroffensive against the Islamist terror organizations as a violation of international humanitarian law and worthy of issuing a warrant for the official’s arrest.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the real war criminals are not in Israel. They’re in Iran. They’re in Gaza, in Syria, in Lebanon, in Yemen. Those of you who stand with these war criminals, those of you who stand with evil against good, with the curse against the blessing, those of you who do so should be ashamed of yourselves,” he slammed.
Earning tepid applause from the gathering, Netanyahu went on to put an exclamation point on his speech as a strike against Hezbollah leadership at their headquarters outside Beirut, Lebanon.
The Jewish state’s Israel Defense Forces confirmed that the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, was among those killed in the blow to the organization. Where the U.N. had faltered in celebrating Israeli’s unwavering stand against terrorism, social media cheered Netanyahu for calling the assembly out to their face.
The Israeli @IDF confirms that Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization and one of its founders, was eliminated yesterday, together with Ali Karki, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, and additional Hezbollah commanders.

UN is so gone, just dismantle that money eating swamp, it’s way overdue…— The Lone Wolf of Denmark (@TheLoneWOLF_onX) September 27, 2024
The UN is corrupt to the core and @netanyahu is right to call them out as a “swamp of antisemtic bile”.

Netanyahu was being generous. The UN is actually much worse.
