(New York Jewish Week) Editorial - Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a powerful and effective condemnation of the Iranian regime at the UN. He has done so consistently over the last decade, insisting that Iran could not be trusted to play by the rules. But this time he was no longer speaking out of sync with Washington regarding Iran. His speech offered proof that Iran lies when it insists it is no longer seeking to develop nuclear weapons. He asserted that Iran has "a secret facility in Tehran - a secret atomic warehouse for storing massive amounts of equipment and material from Iran's secret nuclear weapons program." The confrontational aspect of Netanyahu's speech makes many pro-Israel supporters proud of Israeli ingenuity and a leader willing to call out the world's weakness in responding to a perceived threat. In the end, Israel's government must do all it can to protect its citizens and let the world know that it will not tolerate situations that put the Jewish state in danger.
