Sometimes, Silence Speaks Louder than Words
(Times of Israel) Raphael Ahren - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the UN General Assembly on Thursday will be remembered for its long moment of silence, with which he rebuked the nations of the world for having remained silent during the Holocaust and for continuing to remain silent in the face of a "genocidal" Iran. "Seventy years after the murder of six million Jews, Iran's rulers promise to destroy my country, murder my people. And the response from this body, the response from nearly every one of the governments represented here, has been absolutely nothing," Netanyahu said. "Utter silence. Deafening silence." Then he demonstrated the deafening silence, saying absolutely nothing during 44 seconds that felt like an eternity.
