Netanyahu at UN: World Nations Are Changing Their Attitudes towards Israel

(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday: The UN General Assembly last year passed 20 resolutions against the democratic State of Israel and a grand total of three resolutions against all the other countries on the planet. The UN Human Rights Council each year condemns Israel more than all the countries of the world combined. As women are being systematically raped, murdered, and sold into slavery across the world, the UN's Commission on Women this year chose to condemn Israel, where women fly fighter jets, lead major corporations, head universities, preside over the Supreme Court, and have served as Speaker of the Knesset and Prime Minister. But more and more nations see Israel as a potent partner in fighting the terrorism of today, a partner in developing the technology of tomorrow. Governments are changing their attitudes towards Israel because they know that Israel can help them protect their peoples, can help them feed them, can help them better their lives. The biggest change in attitudes towards Israel is taking place in the Arab world. Our peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan continue to be anchors of stability in the volatile Middle East. For the first time in my lifetime, many other states in the region recognize that Israel is not their enemy. They recognize that Israel is their ally. Israel is ready, I am ready to negotiate all final status issues but one thing I will never negotiate: Our right to the one and only Jewish state. Wow, sustained applause for the Prime Minister of Israel in the General Assembly? The change may be coming sooner than I thought.
