Netanyahu To The UN: ‘As The Prophets Of Israel Foretold In The Bible, You’ve Turned Good Into Evil And Evil Into Good’

As Netanyahu stepped behind the podium, the assembly hall was immediately divided. Delegates stood to their feet, many to stage a walkout, and others to enthusiastically cheer, applauding the Israeli Prime Minister as the announcer called the hall to order.

Coming at a time when world leaders are unilaterally recognizing a non-existent “Palestinian State,” a blatantly anti-Israel move that Netanyahu referred to as “gutless,” the Israeli leader centered his speech around a verse from the Bible encapsulating the absurdity unfolding at the United Nations.

“As the prophets of Israel foretold in the Bible, you’ve turned good into evil and evil into good,” 

Netanyahu exclaimed, referring to Isaiah 5:20.

“I say to the representatives of those nations, this is not an indictment of Israel. It’s an indictment of you,” he underscored. “It’s an indictment of weak-kneed leaders who appease evil rather than support a nation whose brave soldiers guard you from the barbarians at the gate.”

“Israel will not allow you to shove a terrorist state down our throats,” Netanyahu asserted. “We will not commit national suicide because you don’t have the guts to face down a hostile media and antisemitic mobs demanding Israel’s blood… Western leaders may have buckled under the pressure, and I guarantee you one thing: Israel won’t.”

The bloody massacre of 1,200 Israelis on October 7th was highlighted by Netanyahu to expose why a Palestinian State would be detrimental to the Jewish State’s existence and also why Israel’s continued fight remains vital.

During his speech, the Prime Minister wore a large button on his lapel bearing a QR code. He urged members to scan the code to be reminded of the atrocities that took place on that monstrous day.

“Much of the world no longer remembers October 7th, but we remember—Israel remembers October 7th,” he told delegates. “I’ll tell you, you can remember October 7th, too. You see this large pin here? It’s a QR code. What I ask you to do is hold up your phones, zoom in, and you too will see why we fight and why we must win. It’s all in here.”

The verse in Isaiah 5:20 continued to ring throughout the speech, as Netanyahu pointed to the backwards thinking of leaders who demonize the Jewish State while ignoring the evils of Hamas.

“The truth has been turned on its head,” Netanyahu underscored. “Hamas [is] a genocidal terrorist organization whose charter calls for the murder of all Jews on the planet. This genocidal organization is given a pass. It’s barely mentioned. While Israel, which does everything it can to get civilians out of harm’s way, is put in the dock.”

“Israel is accused of deliberately starving the people of Gaza when Israel is deliberately feeding the people of Gaza,” Netanyahu noted. “Since the beginning of the war, Israel has led into Gaza more than 2 million tons of food and aid. That’s one ton of aid for every man, woman, and child in Gaza. Nearly 3,000 calories per person per day. Some starvation policy!”

The leader stressed that the false accusations being levied against Israel are deeply antisemitic—the latest rendition of a very old campaign against Jews.

“Those who peddle the blood libels of genocide and starvation against Israel are no better than those who peddle blood lies against the Jews in the Middle Ages when they falsely accused us of poisoning wells, spreading plague, and using the blood of children to bake Passover matzahs,” Netanyahu insisted. “Antisemitism dies hard. In fact, it doesn’t die at all. It just keeps coming back with its lies refurbished, regurgitated over and over again.”

World leaders are using these false accusations as a jumping-off point to justify a Palestinian state. By doing so, Netanyahu stated that they are sending a clear message to the Hamas terrorists who carried out October 7th: “Murdering Jews pays off.”

“What you’re doing is giving the ultimate reward to intolerant fanatics who perpetrated and supported the October 7th massacre,” he continued. “Giving the Palestinians a state one mile from Jerusalem after October 7th is like giving al-Qaeda a state one mile from New York City after September 11th. This is sheer madness. It’s insane. And we won’t do it.”

While many nations initially stood with Israel in the immediate aftermath of October 7th, Netanyahu lamented that strength and common sense didn’t prevail.

“Over time, many world leaders buckled. They buckled under the pressure of a biased media, radical Islamist constituencies, and anti-semitic mobs,” he stated. “There’s a familiar saying, ‘when the going gets tough, the tough get going.’ Well, for many countries here, when the going got tough, you caved.”

“I have a message for these leaders,” Netanyahu cautioned. “When the most savage terrorists on earth are refusively praising your decision, you didn’t do something right. You did something wrong, horribly wrong. Your disgraceful decision will encourage terrorism against Jews and against innocent people everywhere. It will be a mark of shame on all of you.”
