[Transcription] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Speech at the United Nations General Assembly September 29, 2014
The UN’s Human Rights Council has thus become a Terrorist Rights Council! 
Today
 we, the Jewish people, have the power to defend ourselves. We will 
defend ourselves against our enemies on the battlefield.
Thank
 you, Mr. President, Distinguished delegates, I come here from Jerusalem
 to speak on behalf of my people, the people of Israel. I've come here 
to speak about the dangers we face and about the opportunities we see.I' ve come here to expose the brazen lies spoken 
from this very podium against my country and against the brave soldiers 
who defend it.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The people of Israel pray for peace.
But our hopes and the world's hope for peace are in danger. Because everywhere we look, militant Islam is on the march.
It's
 not militants. It's not Islam. It's militant Islam. Typically, its 
first victims are other Muslims, but it spares no one. Christians, Jews,
 Yazidis, Kurds – no creed, no faith, no ethnic group is beyond its 
sights. And it's rapidly spreading in every part of the world. You know 
the famous American saying: "All politics is local"? For the militant 
Islamists, "All politics is global." Because their ultimate goal is to 
dominate the world.
Now, that threat might seem exaggerated to 
some, since it starts out small, like a cancer that attacks a particular
 part of the body. But left unchecked, the cancer grows, metastasizing 
over wider and wider areas. To protect the peace and security of the 
world, we must remove this cancer before it's too late. Last week, many 
of the countries represented here rightly applauded President Obama for 
leading the effort to confront ISIS. And yet weeks before, some of these
 same countries, the same countries that now support confronting ISIS, 
opposed Israel for confronting Hamas. They evidently don’t understand 
that ISIS and Hamas are branches of the same poisonous tree. 
ISIS and Hamas share a fanatical creed, which they both seek to impose well beyond the territory under their control.
Listen
 to ISIS’s self-declared caliph,Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. This is what he 
said two months ago: A day will soon come when the Muslim will walk 
everywhere as a master… The Muslims will cause the world to hear and 
understand the meaning of terrorism… and destroy the idol of democracy. 
Now listen to Khaled Meshaal, the leader of Hamas. He proclaims a 
similar vision of the future: We say this to the West… By Allah you will
 be defeated. Tomorrow our nation will sit on the throne of the world.
As
 Hamas's charter makes clear, Hamas’s immediate goal is to destroy 
Israel. But Hamas has a broader objective. They also want a caliphate. 
Hamas shares the global ambitions of its fellow militant Islamists. 
That’s why its supporters wildly cheered in the streets of Gaza as 
thousands of Americans were murdered on 9/11. And that's why its leaders
 condemned the United States for killing Osama Bin Laden, whom they 
praised as a holy warrior.
So when it comes to their ultimate goals, Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas.
  
And
 what they share in common, all militant Islamists share in common: • 
Boko Haram in Nigeria; • Ash-Shabab in Somalia; • Hezbollah in Lebanon; •
 An-Nusrah in Syria; • The Mahdi Army in Iraq; • And the Al-Qaeda 
branches in Yemen, Libya, the Philippines, India and elsewhere.
Some
 are radical Sunnis, some are radical Shi'ites. Some want to restore a 
pre-medieval caliphate from the 7th century. Others want to trigger the 
apocalyptic return of an imam from the 9th century. They operate in 
different lands, they target different victims and they even kill each 
other in their quest for supremacy. But they all share a fanatic 
ideology. They all seek to create ever expanding enclaves of militant 
Islam where there is no freedom and no tolerance – Where women are 
treated as chattel, Christians are decimated, and minorities are 
subjugated, sometimes given the stark choice: convert or die. For them, 
anyone can be an infidel, including fellow Muslims.
Ladies and 
Gentlemen, Militant Islam's ambition to dominate the world seems mad. 
But so too did the global ambitions of another fanatic ideology that 
swept to power eight decades ago.
The Nazis believed in a master 
race. The militant Islamists believe in a master faith. They just 
disagree about who among them will be the master… of the master faith. 
That’s what they truly disagree about. Therefore, the question before us
 is whether militant Islam will have the power to realize its unbridled 
ambitions.
There is one place where that could soon happen: The 
Islamic State of Iran. For 35 years, Iran has relentlessly pursued the 
global mission which was set forth by its founding ruler, Ayatollah 
Khomeini, in these words: We will export our revolution to the entire 
world.
Until the cry "There is no God but Allah" will echo 
throughout the world over… And ever since, the regime’s brutal 
enforcers, Iran's Revolutionary Guards, have done exactly that.
Listen
 to its current commander, General Muhammad Ali Ja'afari. And he clearly
 stated this goal. He said: Our Imam did not limit the Islamic 
Revolution to this country… Our duty is to prepare the way for an 
Islamic world government… Iran's President Rouhani stood here last week,
 and shed crocodile tears over what he called "the globalization of 
terrorism." Maybe he should spare us those phony tears and have a word 
instead with the commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards. He could ask
 them to call off Iran's global terror campaign, which has included 
attacks in two dozen countries on five continents since 2011 alone. To 
say that Iran doesn't practice terrorism is like saying Derek Jeter 
never played shortstop for the New York Yankees.
This bemoaning of
 the Iranian president of the spread of terrorism has got to be one of 
history’s greatest displays of doubletalk.
Now, Some still argue 
that Iran's global terror campaign, its subversion of countries 
throughout the Middle East and well beyond the Middle East, some argue 
that this is the work of the extremists. They say things are changing. 
They point to last year's elections in Iran. They claim that Iran’s 
smooth talking President and Foreign Minister, they’ve changed not only 
the tone of Iran's foreign policy but also its substance. They believe 
Rouhani and Zarif genuinely want to reconcile with the West, that 
they’ve abandoned the global mission of the Islamic Revolution.
Really?
 So let's look at what Foreign Minister Zarif wrote in his book just a 
few years ago: We have a fundamental problem with the West, and 
especially with America. This is because we are heirs to a global 
mission, which is tied to our raison d'etre… A global mission which is 
tied to our very reason of being.
And then Zarif asks a question, I
 think an interesting one. He says: How come Malaysia [he’s referring to
 an overwhelmingly Muslim country] – how come Malaysia doesn't have 
similar problems? And he answers: Because Malaysia is not trying to 
change the international order.
That's your moderate. So don’t be 
fooled by Iran’s manipulative charm offensive. It’s designed for one 
purpose, and for one purpose only: To lift the sanctions and remove the 
obstacles to Iran's path to the bomb. The Islamic Republic is now trying
 to bamboozle its way to an agreement that will remove the sanctions it 
still faces, and leave it with the capacity of thousands of centrifuges 
to enrich uranium. This would effectively cement Iran's place as a 
threshold military nuclear power. In the future, at a time of its 
choosing, Iran, the world’s most dangerous state in the world's most 
dangerous region, would obtain the world’s most dangerous weapons.
Allowing
 that to happen would pose the gravest threat to us all. It’s one thing 
to confront militant Islamists on pick-up trucks, armed with Kalashnikov
 rifles. It’s another thing to confront militant Islamists armed with 
weapons of mass destruction. I remember that last year, everyone here 
was rightly concerned about the chemical weapons in Syria, including the
 possibility that they would fall into the hands of terrorists. That 
didn't happen. And President Obama deserves great credit for leading the
 diplomatic effort to dismantle virtually all of Syria's chemical 
weapons capability. Imagine how much more dangerous the Islamic State, 
ISIS, would be if it possessed chemical weapons. Now imagine how much 
more dangerous the Islamic state of Iran would be if it possessed 
nuclear weapons. Ladies and Gentlemen, Would you let ISIS enrich 
uranium? Would you let ISIS build a heavy water reactor? Would you let 
ISIS develop intercontinental ballistic missiles? Of course you 
wouldn’t. Then you mustn't let the Islamic State of Iran do those things
 either.
Because here’s what will happen: Once Iran produces 
atomic bombs, all the charm and all the smiles will suddenly disappear. 
They’ll just vanish. It's then that the ayatollahs will show their true 
face and unleash their aggressive fanaticism on the entire world. There 
is only one responsible course of action to address this threat: Iran's 
nuclear military capabilities must be fully dismantled. Make no mistake –
 ISIS must be defeated. But to defeat ISIS and leave Iran as a threshold
 nuclear power is to win the battle and lose the war.
To defeat ISIS and leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power is to win the battle and lose the war.
Ladies
 and Gentlemen, The fight against militant Islam is indivisible. When 
militant Islam succeeds anywhere, it’s emboldened everywhere. When it 
suffers a blow in one place, it's set back in every place. That’s why 
Israel’s fight against Hamas is not just our fight. It’s your fight. 
Israel is fighting a fanaticism today that your countries may be forced 
to fight tomorrow.
For 50 days this past summer, Hamas fired 
thousands of rockets at Israel, many of them supplied by Iran. I want 
you to think about what your countries would do if thousands of rockets 
were fired at your cities. Imagine millions of your citizens having 
seconds at most to scramble to bomb shelters, day after day. You 
wouldn't let terrorists fire rockets at your cities with impunity. Nor 
would you let terrorists dig dozens of terror tunnels under your borders
 to infiltrate your towns in order to murder and kidnap your citizens. 
Israel justly defended itself against both rocket attacks and terror 
tunnels. Yet Israel also faced another challenge. We faced a propaganda 
war. Because, in an attempt to win the world’s sympathy, Hamas cynically
 used Palestinian civilians as human shields. It used schools, not just 
schools - UN schools, private homes, mosques, even hospitals to store 
and fire rockets at Israel.
As Israel surgically struck at the 
rocket launchers and at the tunnels, Palestinian civilians were 
tragically but unintentionally killed. There are heartrending images 
that resulted, and these fueled libelous charges that Israel was 
deliberately targeting civilians.
We were not. We deeply regret 
every single civilian casualty. And the truth is this: Israel was doing 
everything to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties. Hamas was doing 
everything to maximize Israeli civilian casualties and Palestinian 
civilian casualties. Israel dropped flyers, made phone calls, sent text 
messages, broadcast warnings in Arabic on Palestinian television, always
 to enable Palestinian civilians to evacuate targeted areas.
No 
other country and no other army in history have gone to greater lengths 
to avoid casualties among the civilian population of their enemies. This
 concern for Palestinian life was all the more remarkable, given that 
Israeli civilians were being bombarded by rockets day after day, night 
after night. As their families were being rocketed by Hamas, Israel's 
citizen army – the brave soldiers of the IDF, our young boys and girls –
 they upheld the highest moral values of any army in the world. Israel's
 soldiers deserve not condemnation, but admiration. Admiration from 
decent people everywhere.
Now here’s what Hamas did: Hamas 
embedded its missile batteries in residential areas and told 
Palestinians to ignore Israel’s warnings to leave. And just in case 
people didn’t get the message, they executed Palestinian civilians in 
Gaza who dared to protest.
No less reprehensible, Hamas 
deliberately placed its rockets where Palestinian children live and 
play. Let me show you a photograph. It was taken by a France 24 crew 
during the recent conflict. It shows two Hamas rocket launchers, which 
were used to attack us. You see three children playing next to them. 
Hamas deliberately put its rockets in hundreds of residential areas like
 this. Hundreds of them.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a war 
crime. And I say to President Abbas, these are the war crimes committed 
by your Hamas partners in the national unity government which you head 
and you are responsible for. And these are the real war crimes you 
should have investigated, or spoken out against from this podium last 
week.
Ladies and Gentlemen, As Israeli children huddled in bomb 
shelters and Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system knocked Hamas 
rockets out of the sky, the profound moral difference between Israel and
 Hamas couldn’t have been clearer: Israel was using its missiles to 
protect its children. Hamas was using its children to protect its 
missiles.
By investigating Israel rather than Hamas for war 
crimes, the UN Human Rights Council has betrayed its noble mission to 
protect the innocent. In fact, what it’s doing is to turn the laws of 
war upside-down. Israel, which took unprecedented steps to minimize 
civilian casualties, Israel is condemned. Hamas, which both targeted and
 hid behind civilians – that a double war crime - Hamas is given a pass.
The
 Human Rights Council is thus sending a clear message to terrorists 
everywhere: Use civilians as human shields. Use them again and again and
 again. You know why? Because sadly, it works.
By granting international legitimacy to the use of human shields, the UN’s Human Rights Council has thus become a Terrorist Rights Council, and it will have repercussions. It probably already has, about the use of civilians as human shields.
It’s not just our interest. It’s not just our values that are under attack. It’s your interests and your values.
Ladies
 and Gentlemen, We live in a world steeped in tyranny and terror, where 
gays are hanged from cranes in Tehran, political prisoners are executed 
in Gaza, young girls are abducted en masse in Nigeria and hundreds of 
thousands are butchered in Syria, Libya and Iraq. Yet nearly half, 
nearly half of the UN Human Rights Council's resolutions focusing on a 
single country have been directed against Israel, the one true democracy
 in the Middle East – Israel. where issues are openly debated in a 
boisterous parliament, where human rights are protected by independent 
courts and where women, gays and minorities live in a genuinely free 
society.
The Human Rights… (that’s an oxymoron, the UN Human 
Rights Council, but I’ll use it just the same), the Council’s biased 
treatment of Israel is only one manifestation of the return of the 
world’s oldest prejudices. We hear mobs today in Europe call for the 
gassing of Jews. We hear some national leaders compare Israel to the 
Nazis. This is not a function of Israel’s policies. It's a function of 
diseased minds. And that disease has a name. It’s called anti-Semitism.
It
 is now spreading in polite society, where it masquerades as legitimate 
criticism of Israel. For centuries the Jewish people have been demonized
 with blood libels and charges of deicide. Today, the Jewish state is 
demonized with the apartheid libel and charges of genocide. Genocide? In
 what moral universe does genocide include warning the enemy's civilian 
population to get out of harm's way? Or ensuring that they receive tons,
 tons of humanitarian aid each day, even as thousands of rockets are 
being fired at us? Or setting up a field hospital to aid for their 
wounded? Well, I suppose it's the same moral universe where a man who 
wrote a dissertation of lies about the Holocaust, and who insists on a 
Palestine free of Jews, Judenrein, can stand at this podium and 
shamelessly accuse Israel of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
In the past, outrageous lies against the Jews were the precursors to the wholesale slaughter of our people.
But no more.
Today
 we, the Jewish people, have the power to defend ourselves. We will 
defend ourselves against our enemies on the battlefield. We will expose 
their lies against us in the court of public opinion. Israel will 
continue to stand proud and unbowed.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Despite the enormous challenges facing Israel, I believe we have an historic opportunity.
After
 decades of seeing Israel as their enemy, leading states in the Arab 
world increasingly recognize that together we and they face many of the 
same dangers: principally this means a nuclear-armed Iran and militant 
Islamist movements gaining ground in the Sunni world.
Our 
challenge is to transform these common interests to create a productive 
partnership. One that would build a more secure, peaceful and prosperous
 Middle East.
Together we can strengthen regional security. We can
 advance projects in water, agriculture, in transportation, in health, 
in energy, in so many fields.
I believe the partnership between us
 can also help facilitate peace between Israel and the Palestinians. 
Many have long assumed that an Israeli-Palestinian peace can help 
facilitate a broader rapprochement between Israel and the Arab World. 
But these days I think it may work the other way around: Namely that a 
broader rapprochement between Israel and the Arab world may help 
facilitate an Israeli-Palestinian peace.
And therefore, to achieve
 that peace, we must look not only to Jerusalem and Ramallah, but also 
to Cairo, to Amman, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and elsewhere. I believe peace can
 be realized with the active involvement of Arab countries, those that 
are willing to provide political, material and other indispensable 
support. I’m ready to make a historic compromise, not because Israel is 
occupying a foreign land. The people of Israel are not occupiers in the 
Land of Israel. History, archeology and common sense all make clear that
 we have had a singular attachment to this land for over 3,000 years.
I
 want peace because I want to create a better future for my people. But 
it must be a genuine peace, one that is anchored in mutual recognition 
and enduring security arrangements, rock solid security arrangements on 
the ground. Because you see, Israel's withdrawals from Lebanon and Gaza 
created two militant Islamic enclaves on our borders from which tens of 
thousands of rockets have been fired at Israel. 
These sobering 
experiences heighten Israel's security concerns regarding potential 
territorial concessions in the future. Those security concerns are even 
greater today. Just look around you.
The Middle East is in chaos. States are disintegrating. Militant Islamists are filling the void. 
Israel
 cannot have territories from which it withdraws taken over by Islamic 
militants yet again, as happened in Gaza and Lebanon. That would place 
the likes of ISIS within mortar range – a few miles – of 80% of our 
population.
Think about that. The distance between the 1967 lines 
and the suburbs of Tel Aviv is like the distance between the UN building
 here and Times Square. Israel’s a tiny country. That’s why in any peace
 agreement, which will obviously necessitate a territorial compromise, I
 will always insist that Israel be able to defend itself by itself 
against any threat. Yet despite all that has happened, some still don't 
take Israel’s security concerns seriously. But I do, and I always will. 
Because, as Prime Minister of Israel, I am entrusted with the awesome 
responsibility of ensuring the future of the Jewish people and the 
future of the Jewish state.
And no matter what pressure is brought to bear, I will never waver in fulfilling that responsibility.
I believe that with a fresh approach from our neighbors, we can advance peace despite the difficulties we face.
In
 Israel, we have a record of making the impossible possible. We’ve made a
 desolate land flourish. And with very few natural resources, we have 
used the fertile minds of our people to turn Israel into a global center
 of technology and innovation.
Peace, of course, would enable 
Israel to realize its full potential and to bring a promising future not
 only for our people, not only for the Palestinian people, but for many,
 many others in our region.
But the old template for peace must be
 updated. It must take into account new realities and new roles and 
responsibilities for our Arab neighbors. Ladies and Gentlemen, There is a
 new Middle East. It presents new dangers, but also new opportunities. 
Israel is prepared to work with Arab partners and the international 
community to confront those dangers and to seize those opportunities. 
Together we must recognize the global threat of militant Islam, the 
primacy of dismantling Iran’s nuclear weapons capability and the 
indispensable role of Arab states in advancing peace with the 
Palestinians.
All this may fly in the face of conventional wisdom,
 but it’s the truth. And the truth must always be spoken, especially 
here, in the United Nations.
Isaiah, our great prophet of peace, taught us nearly 3,000 years ago in Jerusalem to speak truth to power.
 לְמַעַן צִיּוֹן לֹא אֶחֱשֶׁה וּלְמַעַן יְרוּשָׁלִַם לֹא אֶשְׁקוֹט 
עַד-יֵצֵא כַּנֹּגַהּ צִדְקָהּ וִישׁוּעָתָהּ כְּלַפִּיד יִבְעָר.
For the sake of Zion, I will not be silent.
For the sake of Jerusalem, I will not be still.
Until her justice shines bright, And her salvation glows like a flaming torch.(Taken from the book of Isiah of the Bible)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Let's light a torch of truth and justice to safeguard our common future.
Thank you.
