Netanyahu Shouts at UN: Am Yisrael Chai!

“I know that preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons remains the official policy of the international community,” Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the UN Thursday. “But no one should question Israel's determination to defend itself against those who seek our destruction. For in every generation there were those who rose up to destroy our people. Babylonia and Rome; Inquisition and expulsion; in modern times – pogroms and Holocaust. Yet the Jewish people persevered.

"And now another regime has arisen, swearing to destroy Israel. That regime would be wise to consider this: I stand here today representing Israel, a country 67 years young, but the nation stae of a people nearly 4,000 years old. Yet the empires of Babylonia and Rome are not represented in this hall of nations. Neither is the 'thousand year Reich.' Those seemingly invincible empires are gone, but the people of Israel lives." He shouted: "Am Yisrael Chai!”
