31. Bibi - with such moral clarity - excellent
Scott ,   Haifa   (09.26.09)
Makes it so clear, exposing the barbarians of the world, i.e. Iran and other fanatic towel heads. (There are good Muslims, maybe a few, but they need to step away out of the fanatic towel-heads...and stop hating Israel...the God of Israel started this country.)
32. Bibi is the best Prime Minister Israel can have at the momen
Atheist Turk ,   Germany   (09.26.09)
33. Netanyahu (not) at his best
Barry Berger ,   Tivon, Israel   (09.26.09)
I disagree with Barnea. I thought Netanyahu was pompous, spoke down to the audience, and was inaccurate in his analogies and in some of his facts. Where is Tsipi Livni? Have she, and others constituting half the population and who have perspectives different from Bibi's, disappeared?
34. netanyahu at his best
debbie ,   israel   (09.26.09)
TO ROBERT HAYMOND: Well written. You are so right. AND TO OBSERVER: You prowl around these sites, looking for any tiny opportunity to spew your vile and filthy hatred of Jews and Israel. YES, the Holocaust has EVERYTHING to do with IRAN and the Palestinians and the Muslem world in general. A nation who lost 6 million (yes, that figure is indeed correct) is not going to take lightly the rantings and threats of another lunatic madman. ISRAEL LOVES BIBI
35. Excelent and to the point speech.
(09.25.09)
A leader like that makes Israel proud
36. to number 13
Archie ,   usa   (09.26.09)
to number 13, AMEN BROTHER AMEN! Obama will be the first president of United States that will be removed from the office before his term is up. watch and see; has he ever touched any issue without screwing it up ( his cronies say its was a false start; what the hell is that? and just how many false start he is privy to in his first year in office is not over?)
37. Bibi broke deal with poutine: no US weapon for irak sanction
(09.26.09)
when iran knew that the usa knew about the nuclear facility they decide to go public. but economical sanction , that is in a word : eat your petrol...lead by the usa french and england can be done because of bibi: he broke a deal between obama and poutine to remove the US plan of having missile in western europe and in return russia will lift its veto for sanction against iran. also bibi got obama to be iran first palestinian after and to say "jewish state of israel" twice in his speech. kolakavod bibi, good job.
38. good for you Bibi
proud Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.26.09)
Good for you Bibi - if the only thing that is understood is forcefulness then hold that position. No other established country in the world is told where they can or cannot build for the needs of their own population. And the silence of the world via-a-vis Gilad Shalit is a disgrace. If it were the reverse we would be vilified - which we are anyway. So hold firm - but fair - for our continued survival. Speak up and speak out - rally the people behind you. Although I didn't vote for you - I'm now glad you are my Prime Minister. Kol H'Kavod!
39. Netanyahu at his best
En ,   UK   (09.26.09)
God bless Netanyahu. Please take a cue fromhere to always quote from the Bible to them at the UN, afterall God gave this land to Isra-el... The Prime Minister should also not be carried away by this outcome. These enemies are still there. The hatred is satanic. However the prophecies will be fulfiled
40. Observer ignorance:
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (09.26.09)
You speak of Jewish prayers. And what do you know about Judaism? Nothing at all! And what do you know of psychology? You use a big hefty word -- "psychosis" -- but your psychohistorical conception is trivial. As a retired psychologist published in the field of psychohistory, I think I am entirely able to assess your surface ignorance quite easily. As one Talkbacker already commented, you "prowl" around this website in order to "spew" your "vile" hatred. I think you're too stupid and certainly too arrogant to even have a fraction of understanding. And you're a coward to boot. If you're not, why not sign with your real name (as I do) with your real location and with your real email address? But we all know why you don't do that, don't we. Bravado when you can't be caught. It's what you get when the character is manifestly depraved.
41. #32 each of the remaining 6 million can be better
observer   (09.26.09)
don't tell him that, for he is the best for Arabs.
42. Good "it's about time" speech...
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.26.09)
Debbie # 34, I am with you all the way! Robert in Ashdod, you’re good also. I too don’t know what the deal with that “observer guy” is but his comments discuss me also. Finally Netanyahu is waking up and honing up to the true spirit of Israel and Israeli I know it is due to the great team surrounding him --- Oren, Ayalon, Dermer, etc…; it does not matter what it is due to, as long as it works.
43. Bibi's speech
Marty ,   Chicago-USA   (09.26.09)
I watched Mr. Netanyahu's speech to the UN as an American who supports Israel. Netanyahu comes across as the best premier Israel has ever had. His ability to speak well is obvious, but his words were right on the money. The UN is a complete joke and most of the world knows that. Bibi had the guts to stand up and tell it like it is, not give the same old speech about peace and working together. We all want peace and we all want to work together but it is time a leader stood his ground on the world stage. Netanyahu came across as the most honest and truthful speaker of the week at the UN.
44. RE.:"Everyone there knows very well that that the Holocaust
Zak ,   dallas + rishon   (09.27.09)
tell that to your friend...Ahmad din Nejad
45. Most of America loves Israel. We're happy you have a strong
Zak ,   Dallas + Rishon   (09.27.09)
Jef---With all due respect, you are dellisional when you make a statement that inverts the relationship between the U.S. and Israel.
46. To #41
Atheist Turk ,   Germany   (09.26.09)
I do not understand that. He is experienced and knows what is best for Israel. His English is far better from Barak´s or Tzipora Livni´s. The knowledge of the other 6 million Israelis English is really not that good. Kindest regards
47. #39 Well said
(09.27.09)
However, it is one thing quoting the prophecies and another thing living it. What will Israel do in order for there to be no more war? Will we be the first to beat our weapons into ploughshares and pruning hooks? May it be so!
48. The hatred in Bibi's face tells the whole story.
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.27.09)
49. Bibi has Guts !
Mark ,   London , USA   (09.27.09)
G-ds Blessings on Yisrael , Wished we had a leader who has Bibi's toughness , Yisrael should be very Proud and know G-d put him office at this very time !
50. Bibi is good at speeches
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.28.09)
Too bad he lacks a backbone to back it up.
51. Obesever you are indeed blind!
Israeli ,   Israel   (09.28.09)
What about the versus in Koran and Hadith which justify killing none-Muslims or subjecting them under Islamic law? Collective punishment, you ignorant, if you had been in our position, Gaza would have been totally runied. Another, Islamist apologetic fan or Islamist covering with "Western" don.
52. Forensic evidence trumps hasbara
David ,   La Mesa us   (09.29.09)
After years of research, the data regarding the extent and nature of the Shoah has evolved. And this evidence continues to raise questions in reasonable peoples' minds. Some of the early claims about Auschwitz now look like Cold-War era anti-fascist exaggerations, for example. Simply to demonize revisionists so blithely in major speeches, and to keep calling attention to them, especially high-profile ones like Ahmadinejad, will prove to be a mistake. The revisionist research will not just disappear and go away. Attacking Ahmadinejad on this will provoke rebuttals. Watch him hold more conferences or turn the issue into a revisionist think tank
53. David, Forensic Medicine?
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (09.29.09)
Please David, if you are going to make such (exaggerated) claims, at least cite your socalled research, after identifying it and the authors of the (revealing) piece of work kindly outline what it is so we know that there is something of value to independently pursue. As for your little commentary, you sound like just another smug Holocaust denying antisemite.
54. #42 forensic is a big word for you, isn't it?
vered ,   israel   (09.29.09)
55. # 54 Vered, why
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.30.09)
are you attacking me? Yom Kippur came and went and I had forgiven everyone. I think you mistook me for # 52 , David (I did not like his comments either)
