Netanyahu’s “Pop Quiz” at UN | PM Names Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis & Iran as Global Threats
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used his address at the United Nations in New York to stage what he called a “pop quiz.” Holding a poster, Netanyahu asked: “Who shouts ‘Death to America’?” and answered: “All of the above – Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran.”
He further asked: “Who has murdered Americans and Europeans in cold blood?” — with the same response. Netanyahu claimed that Israel is fighting the world’s battle against terrorism, saying many leaders secretly acknowledge Israel’s intelligence services for stopping attacks in their own capitals.
00:00Ladies and gentlemen, if Hamas agrees to our demands, the war could end right now.
00:10Gaza would be demilitarized, Israel would retain overriding security control, and a
00:16peaceful civilian authority would be established by Gazans and others committed to peace with
00:22Israel.
00:24And of course, you understand that the war in Gaza has affected every Israeli.
00:31But I'm sure there are people in New York or in London or in Melbourne and elsewhere
00:37who are probably thinking, what does all of this have to do with me?
00:43And the answer is everything, because our enemies are your enemies.
00:52So let's do something else. So first at the UN, let's do a pop quiz. And raise your hand
00:58if you know the answer. Here's the first question. Who shouts, death to America? Is it A, Iran,
01:07B, Hamas, C, Hezbollah, D, the Houthis, or E, all of the above?
01:14All of the above. All of the above. Correct. All of the above. Second question.
01:25Who has murdered Americans and Europeans in cold blood? Is it A, Al Qaeda, B, Hamas, C, Hezbollah, D, Iran, or E, all of the above?
01:39All of the above. Correct. Again.
01:46So here's the point I wanted to make. Our enemies hate all of us with equal venom.
01:53They want to drag the modern world back to the past, to a dark age of violence, fanaticism, and terror.
02:02I think many of you are already feeling, in your own societies, the radical Islamist surge.
02:08You know, I'm sure you do, you know deep down that Israel, Israel is fighting your fight.
02:16So I want to tell you a secret. Behind closed doors, many of the leaders who publicly condemn us, privately thank us.
02:27They tell me how much they value Israel's superb intelligence services that have prevented time and again terrorist attacks in their capitals, time and again saving countless lives.
02:39General George Keegan, former head of U.S. Air Force intelligence, once said if the United States had to gather on its own the intelligence that Israel gives us, we would have to establish five CIAs, five CIAs.
02:57This past June, when Israel struck Iran's nuclear facilities, German Chancellor Mertz admitted the truth.
03:06He said, Israel is doing the dirty work for all of us.
03:14President Trump understands better than any other leader that Israel and America face a common threat.
03:22He showed the world that when Iran and its proxies murder Americans, take Americans hostage, shout death to America, burn American flags, and try to assassinate the President of the United States,
03:37try to assassinate the President of the United States not once, but twice.
03:42He showed them there is a price to pay for all that.
03:49But regrettably, many leaders who are represented in this hall, they send a very different message.
04:05Sure, in the days immediately following October 7th, many of them supported Israel.
04:12But that support quickly evaporated when Israel did what any self-respecting nation would do in the wake of such a savage attack.
04:21We fought back.
04:24Now just imagine, just sit back for a second and imagine, an attack against America proportioned to the attack against Israel on October 7th.
04:36Imagine a regime, a terror regime, dispatching thousands of terrorists to invade the United States.
04:44They massacre 40,000 Americans.
04:48They take 10,000 Americans hostage.
04:52What do you think America would do?
04:55You think America would leave that regime standing?
04:59You don't think that.
05:01No way. Not a chance.
05:03The United States would wipe out that terror regime and ensure that such savagery would never threaten America again.
05:11This is precisely what Israel is doing in Gaza.
05:15We're wiping out the terror regime of Hamas and ensuring that this savagery will never threaten Israel again.
05:21That's what we are doing.
05:23That's what any self-respecting government would do.
