Netanyahu Calls on Enlightened World to Stop Iran's Nuclear Pursuit
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, April 11, 2010, 8:18 PM
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the world’s silence on Iran.
At Yad Vashem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the enlightened nations of the world to loudly condemn Iran’s destructive nuclear intentions.
Haaretz reported:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres used the platform at yesterday’s Holocaust Remembrance Day memorial ceremony at Yad Vashem to urge countries around the world to work unwaveringly to stop Iran’s nuclear program.
At yesterday’s main Holocaust Day ceremony, Netanyahu warned against a rising tide of anti-Semitism “kindled by radical Islamist organizations and regimes, led by Iran and its satellites.
“I call on the enlightened nations of the world to loudly condemn Iran’s destructive intentions, and to act resolutely to stop it from arming itself with nuclear weapons,” he said before hundreds of Holocaust survivors and their families, political leaders, diplomats and others.
The world has so far failed to adequately denounce Tehran, Netanyahu said.
“Iran’s leaders are barreling toward developing a nuclear weapon, and openly declaring their desire to destroy Israel. In the face of these repeated pledges to remove the Jewish state from the earth, we encounter in the best case a limp reaction, and even that is fading,” he said. “We do not hear the necessary rejection, no harsh denunciation, no outcry. The world is carrying on as usual, and there are those who direct their fire at us, at Israel.”
The theme of this year’s ceremony was “voices of the survivors,” paying tribute to those working to preserve the memories of the 6 million victims of the Holocaust.

Everyday I wake up and am surprised that Israel has not taken the only step she has left, and that is to defend herself from Iran. Israel has been left no choice. I pray peace for Jerusalem. May G-d bless you.
crystal commented:
Could this be the fulfillment of yet another biblical prophecy? The Bible says that the entire world will turn its back on Israel, even those previous allies will turn a blind eye to its threats. When the nations go to war against Isarel, God will come to her defense.
jainphx commented:
Sure sounds like the world is turning it’s back on Israel, what with Obama in the drivers seat. Funny how the BOOK is always right!

I doubt anyone in the “sane” arab countries is going to do anything if Israel attacks Iran.
Everyone is actually hoping that the “Iranian” problem is taken care sooner rather than later, except no one wants to pull the trigger, they wanted the US to take care of the problem but that option got sidetracked.
The Iranians pose more of a threat to their fellow arab neighbors than to Israel.
It looks like Israel is now the “worlds police” force, the last protector of freedom in the world. The US has just become another 2-bit banana republic with a 2-bit dictator. On the bright-side at least we have obamacare, comparable to anything the Europeans have.

Sorry Israel, but American Jews turned out en mass and voted overwhelmingly for Obama, in spite of warnings from some of us.
Elections have consequences. Of course, you knew that when you buried your head in Germany in the 1930s and permitted the State of Exception to expand and engulf a program to eradicate your people. And then there’s the second revolution in Russia, which you also intellectually embraced as fellow leftists but saw it lead to outcomes such as Baba Yar.
I’m afraid you’re on your own this time, given you sold us conservatives and libertarians out for your false messiah Obama.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu means everyone who is pro – Israel. That means not Obama.
Obama pushed the Israeli Prime Minister in a thug-moment. Obama should be charged with aggrivated assult and do 4 years in Prison or at least until his term is over as Fradulent of the U.S.A.

I entirely support Netanyahu and the country of Israel. I wish Netanyahu was our president.
Never give in, Bibi. Never, never, never!!

Current Minister of Kenyan Government Declares Obama Was Born In Kenya and Is Not a “native American”

(This is big, big news – explicit statement, which was made as an aside about the US during discussions in development of their unity Constitution, transcribed in a recent top level Kenyan government document. This means it can be used as evidence in a court of law.)
jetstream commented:
I first saw the news about the Kenyan Minister’s statement (March 25, 2010) in a comment link, Saturday night. But maybe the White House knew about it earlier:
“President Barack Obama quietly breached years of protocol on Saturday morning by leaving the White House without the press with him.”

Comment from Commander Kerchner:
“Did you all read in the news that yesterday the putative President slipped away from his press pool for a mysterious two hours. Allegedly he was off to watch his daughter play soccer. I wonder if this is a cover story and Obama was off having a top meeting with some powers to be in Congress and the Supreme Court about this news that surfaced today from Kenya. And of course Obama would not want the press to know who he was meeting with all of a sudden. Maybe Obama has received the news that he is going to have to resign. Wouldn’t that be great news and a great day for America after living through the last two years of lies and deceit from Obama and this Congress.

medical’s comment at jetstream’s link:
One or more very reliable source(s) in or around Washington advise they heard “through the grapevine” that the Usurper spent time without the press while he was “taking care of some sort of urgent personal business on or near ‘R Street’ in Washington, only a mile or two from the White House. ‘They’ claim he has recently become extremely irritable and he is experiencing severe mood swings. No one wants to come near him unless they’re forced to.”. He MAY have attended a soccer game before or after the meeting (no one would say for sure), but the “soccer game” appears to be nothing more than a cover story. The source(s) vehemently refused to provide more specific information (“NO, SIR!”), except to speculate that the Usurper’s multiple substance abuse issues seem to have reached a critical point and ‘they’ do not believe he will be capable of performing his duties much longer… WHOA, DID I JUST LOCATE HIS MEETING PLACE?! At this moment, I’m viewing a map of “R Street, N.W.” and the KENYA EMBASSY is located at 2249 R Street, N.W., near the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue, N.W.! Was the “urgent personal business” a face to face plea for Kenya’s silence? Hmmmmmm…
Opaobie commented:
For anyone holding out hope that Obama will be declared ineligible to hold the office of POTUS, Lucy will AGAIN pull the football away at the last moment. Even if it’s true, too many people on the Left (and maybe outside the field of view of American politics) have too much to lose to let it happen. It would be a nuclear Constitutional crisis at this point in time.
Opaobie commented:
Might as well toss out one more theory: he is losing weight, may be in deteriorating health, refuses to release his medical records or even his most recent physical exam, so maybe he is a sleeper political suicide bomber on a mission to destroy the USA before he dies. That would explain why he doesn’t seem to care that he is destroying the Democrat Party and is looking at losing both the House and the Senate in November, is not concerned about being reelected, and doesn’t care that his popularity is tanking. Any takers?
Andreas K. commented:
“Netanyahu warned against a rising tide of anti-Semitism”
You just need to look into Europe. It’s apparently “in” among the rabit left wing to hate Jews again. And then add the “usual suspects”, who can harass and threaten Jews as they like, even attack them, as the Scandinavian countries show.
Who are these “usual suspects” you ask?
Ah… the members of the “religion of peace”(tm)

I spoke with somebody the other day and he referred to America as “the good guys”.
There was a time when I thought we were. There have been times and presidencies, most notably Carters, when I wondered.
However barack hussein obama tipped the scale all the way and we’re clearly NOT the good guys.

Netanyahu should stop making speeches & launch a preemptive military strike on Iran ASAP & to hell with Obama.

And by the way, there is an excellent article about the ”Enlightened World” at the Sultan Knish blog, ”Imposing Another Final Solution” which is really worth reading.
Jo commented:
Obama condemned the Birthers. Obama is fanning the flames of anti-Semitism — that’s for sure!
He actually physically assulted Netanyahu — there is that picture oh him with his finger in Netanyahu’s chest. I say put Obummer in prison, at least until his term is over.
Eileen Doret commented:
The ‘rising tide of anti-Semitism’ was created by Israel’s bloody 3 week attack on Gaza in which it killed over 300 children and 110 women, in January 2009, just 15 months ago. The people of the world have reacted to that atrocity in which the perpetrators still walk free.
And the ‘silence’ regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions is matched by the silence regarding Israel’s secret nuclear arsenal.
Israel must comply with the will of the United Nations, the international organization that created it in 1948.
cp commented:
I don’t hold Israel responsible for the crimes Hamas and other Jewish haters commit. Everyone knows by now how using innocent women and children as human shields is a favorite strategy of Hamas. These Jewish haters are bent not only on destroying the state of Israel and also to later on turn their hatred for Christians.
Robb76 commented:

The United Nations is a failed organization. Who gives a rip about complying with the UN will.
cp commented:

Try asking Hamas, Syria, Jordan and Iran if they sincerely respect the decision of UN in restoring the Jews back to their land in Israel. What has the UN done to stop Hamas from firing all those rockets at Israel? What has UN done after Iran Leader clearly incited violence against Israel and promise to wipe the nation off the map? Can UN go over and arrest the Iran leader for clear evidence of inciting the destruction of another nation? And UN also knows about Hamas crime in using innocent women and children as human shield. What has UN done to stop Hamas from committing such crime? You are greatly mistaken if you think it is only the American conservatives or the Jews or the Christians these religious fanatics are after. The leftists and the liberals are also on their list of enemies. In the end, only those who surrender to their religion are allowed to rule the world. Of course, they want you to think that it is only the Jews they dislike and if you would help them get rid of the Jews, they will become peaceful and respectful to all people of other faiths.
Charlie Gibson commented:
Stuff it, Eileen!
J commented:
I’m pretty sure I understand how the west turned its back on the Jews during the holocaust. And I know the survivors claimed never again and fought fiercely for Israel. And it seems that obama is facilitating the enemies of Israel. My two questions are…what did the Jewish community do to prevent or protect itself from Hitler? And what will it do to protect itself from Iran? Are we all heading down the exact same path that led up to the holocaust?
Eileen Doret commented:
“Everyone knows by now how using innocent women and children as human shields is a favorite strategy of Hamas.”
I think you will find that it was the IDF that used Palestinian civilians as human shields. Read the official report of the UN Fact Finding Commission published last April/May for the facts.

I am a christian and I have more freedom to share my beliefs with a Jew. Do i have freedom to share my belief with a Muslim inside a Muslim country? Even on the level of respect for freedom of sharing one’s belief with others, i can easily see who I can trust more. I don’t trust people who, in this modern times, believe that it is OK to use violent methods to convert others and who use force to prohibit others from sharing their belief freely. And i certainly don’t trust people who can indoctrinate their children to become suicide bombers promising them a place in heaven with virgins.

This is directed at the limp-wristed Resident.
Israel needs to do what it can to protect itself. And the Americans need to back them. And those living in the United States who do not are not Americans.
Eileen Doret commented:
CHISUM
I do NOT defend any terrorist organization.
Do you know what is the meaning of ‘terrorism’?
It is the systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve a goal.
With that in mind, cast your mind back to the actions of the Irgun Zvai Leumi and LEHI gangs in 1947-8.
Then look again at the figure of 900 civilians killed by the IDF last year.
Do YOU support this terrorism? Really? Or is this terrorism not really terrorism because it is not Arab but Israeli?
Chisum commented:
Eileen,
Take your anti-Israel hatred and stuff it.

Absence of key U.S. allies at summit amplifies doubts about Obama’s foreign policy
President Obama is holding one of the biggest global summits ever on U.S. soil starting Monday, but for all the hoopla, the event will be missing America’s strongest allies.
As remarkable as it is, the fact that neither British Prime Minister Gordon Brown nor Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are attending President Obama’s nuclear security summit in Washington Monday and Tuesday is not altogether surprising.

If Hamas agrees to recognize the state of Israel and will allow all religion to share their faith freely then I will believe that their using women and children as human shields are isolated cases. But when they have such hatred for Jews because according to their religion, Jews are compared to a disease and when they indoctrinate children to become suicide bombers, then for them using women and children is not isolated cases. For them it is a strategy to fool the world.
Every religion, Christians, Jews, Muslims, others and even the religion of communism have been influenced by fanatics strongly before in the past. Except for Muslim, for many of these groups, it is their own people who pointed out the mistakes of the fanatics of their own faith. Because of that level of honesty, reformation could take place in many religion. If a christian group were to bomb innocent people in some train station, immediately, many Christians will condemn the action. When a muslim group bomb the twin towers on Sept 11, many hamas and their likes danced and celebrate. They are not interested to make any reformation so that violence becomes less and less.
cp commented:
I like to make correction. The communist is another group that I cannot trust. This is because of the flaws within their godless ideology. They are also another group that wants to take away the freedom of religious people and deceive people to believe in their so called “workers paradise.”

Eileen,
The Palestinian people as a whole continue to be used as “human shields” by those who will leave no stone unthrown in pursuing the destruction of the State of Israel.
The Goldstone report is not worth the paper it is written on.
apodoca commented:
To PM Netanyahu and Israel, take this from David: “some trust in chariots, and some in horses; as for me, I will trust in the Lord my God.”
The world is not in your corner because you and your nation are Jewish. That’s the bottom line. Therefore, don’t depend on any man or any nation to be your defense against your foe(s). Don’t depend on force of arms. The Six Day War showed Israel that God is your defense; His arm is might to save and strong to deliver. Trust in God. Call upon Him and watch the plans of Ahmadinejad, the Arabs, the Europeans, the Presbyterians and other assorted pro-Islamic “Christians” come to naught.
If you put your trust in man, you will lose. Trust God. Live on.

Thanks for setting us strait Eileen. I for one always believe the United Nations. Their unexcelled record of justice, honesty and truth are known world wide. Those evil Joooz just can’t let Hamas, Hezbolla, Syria,and Iran live in peace and harmony.
