The Greater One Lives In You, Not Just With You

 The Greater One Lives In You, Not Just With You 

On the last night of His life, Jesus said something to His disciples that turned on a single small word, and the entire Christian life hangs on whether you have understood it.

 Jesus Christ was speaking about the Spirit He was about to send, and He said this, in John 14:17: "for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." With you, and shall be in you. 

Two prepositions, two entirely different arrangements, and the difference between them is the difference between an ally who stands beside you and the Life that has taken up residence inside you. 

For four thousand years, God had been with His people. He walked with them, went before them, camped among them, and spoke to them from a cloud. 

Since the resurrection and ascension of LORD Jesus Christ, under the the New Testament, the early apostles and disciples were waiting. But on the day of Pentecost something happened that had never happened in the history of the world: God moved in. In where? Into the disciples. 

 And most believers, if they are honest, still pray and think and live as though God was standing outside the house, nearby and willing, waiting to be called in. 

This teaching here is going to show you the difference between God with you and God in you, and what changes in your daily life when that single preposition finally settles in your understanding.

The verse for this is 1 John 4:4: "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." Greater is He that is in you. I called Him the Greater One, and I built much of this teaching on the practical consequences of that fact. 

Note, "The Old Testament saints had God with them; the New Testament believers have God in them, and no two conditions could be further apart. The one is help from without, which must be sought and awaited; the other is a life within, but today's church goers pray like an Old Testament man, calling upon a God who is somewhere else, and he will wonder why the Christian life feels like a long effort to attract the attention of heaven.

 The Greater One is not coming. He has come, and He is in you now." He is not coming; He has come. 

Respected reader or believer, read on. Stay with me through this entire biblical teaching, because that single distinction will change how you pray, how you face opposition, and how you understand who you are.

 Let us begin by listening to the way believers actually talk, because our language reveals what we truly think.

 Listen at almost any prayer meeting and you will hear it: "Lord, be with us tonight." 

"God, come and meet with us."

 "Draw near to us in this place." 

"Send Your presence."

 Now, l am not going to scold anyone over a phrase, and there are tender and reverent uses of that language. But notice the picture underneath it. Every one of those sentences assumes that God is somewhere else and must be persuaded to come here. 

That is Old Testament mindset of praying, and it was entirely appropriate for people under the old covenant, because for them, it was accurate. 

It is no longer accurate for you. And the practical consequences of that misunderstanding are serious. If you believe God is essentially outside of you, then you will draw on your own resources first and call on Him only as reinforcement when your own strength runs out, which is exactly backwards.

 You will feel that His presence comes and goes with your feelings, He is near on the good Sundays and distant in the hard weeks. You will pray defensively, hoping to attract His attention rather than speaking to Someone already present. And you will face the pressures of life as a person who is essentially alone in the room, occasionally assisted, rather than as a person who houses the living God. 

There is a second consequence, and it is the one that does the most quiet damage. A believer who thinks of God as external can be convinced that God has left. When the feelings are gone, when the prayers seem to bounce, when a season of failure or grief has hollowed everything out, the thought arrives: He has withdrawn from me. And that thought has tormented sincere Christians for centuries, because if God is essentially a visitor, for a visitor can leave. But the whole point of the new covenant is that He is not a drop-by visitor. 

I identified this as the great practical failure of the modern church. 

Noted: The believer's difficulty is not that God is far from him but that he does not know how near God İs. He prays as a beggar at the gate when he is the temple in which the King resides. He pleads for the presence of the One who has never left the room. 

And the tragedy is not merely a matter of words, for a man's praying will always follow his conception of God, and a man who conceives of God as distant will live at a distance, though the Almighty be dwelling in his own body. He pleads for the presence of the One who has never left the room. 

So let us trace how God moved from with to in, because the story is one of the most beautiful in the Bible. Follow the progression of God's nearness to His people, because it moves in stages, and each stage is closer than the last.

In the beginning, God walked with Adam in the garden, in the Cool of the day. After the fall, He appeared to the patriarchs and went with them; He told Jacob in Genesis 28:15, "behold, l am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest." 

   Then He came down in a cloud and dwelt in a tent in the middle of the camp, and Exodus 40:34 says, "'a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle." God in a tent, among His people, but behind a veil that almost no one could pass.

    Then He filled a temple of stone. 2 Chronicles 7:1 says that when Solomon finished praying, "'the fire came down from heaven... and the glory of the Lord filled the house." Closer still, but still a building, still a veil, still a priesthood standing between the people and the presence. 

Then came the most staggering step yet: God became a Man and lived on the street. John 1:14 says, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us," and the word translated dwelt is the word for pitching a tent; God tabernacled among us in a human body, of Jesus Christ. And Matthew 1:23 called Him "Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." God with us. That was the high point of every prophecy the world had ever received, and men could touch Him, walk with Him, and eat with Him. 

And then Jesus Christ told those same men that there was one step closer still, and that it was so much better that it justified His leaving. 

In John 16:7 He said,"It is expedient for you that l go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart,  I will send him unto you." 

And in John 14:17, the verse we began with, Jesus  named the difference precisely: "he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." With became in. 

The tent, the temple, and the incarnate body of Christ were all stages on the way to this: God taking up residence inside ordinary human beings, the believers. 

Prophet Ezekiel had prophesied it centuries earlier in Ezekiel 36:27, when God said, "And I will put my spirit within you." Within you. 

And Jeremiah 31:33 said, "I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts."

 So let us establish what the New Testament actually claims about your condition, because the language is remarkably direct. 

1 Corinthians 3:16 asks, "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 

1 Corinthians 6:19 says, "your ( believer's) body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you." 

Colossians 1:27 reveals the mystery that had been hidden for ages, and it is seven words long: "Christ in you, the hope of glory." 

Galatians 2:20 says, "I live; yet not 1, but Christ liveth in me." 

Romans 8:11 says the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead "dwell in you."

 2 Corinthians 13:5 tells believers to examine themselves, "know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" 

And 1 Corinthians 6:17 says, "But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit." 

That is not poetic exaggeration. That is the consistent, repeated testimony of the New Testament about where God resides in relation to a born-again believer. 

Now, let me show you what actually changes when that preposition settles, because this is not a theological curiosity; it is intensely practical. 

1. The fırst change is that God no longer has to be summoned. 

If God is with you in the sense of being nearby, then prayer is a matter of getting His attention.

If He is in you, then prayer is simply turning your attention to Someone who has been present the entire time. You do not call Him in from the yard. You acknowledge the One in the room. 

That single adjustment takes the strain out of a believer's prayer life, because the effort of attracting   God's notice was never required of you.

2.  The second change is that distance becomes impossible. Your awareness of Him will fluctuate, certainly; some days you will feel Him and many days you will not feel Him. But the fact of His residence does not rise and fall with your feelings, your performance, or your circumstances. Hebrews 13:5 records God's own promise: "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." 

And Jesus said in John 14:16 that the Comforter would "abide with you for ever." Under the old covenant, the Spirit came upon men for particular purposes and could leave ; the Spirit came upon Gideon in Judges 6:34 and upon David in 1 Samuel 16:13, and departed from Saul in 1 Samuel 16:14, which is why David prayed in Psalm 51:11, take not thy holy Spirit from me." 

You will notice that no New Testament believer is ever recorded praying that prayer. 

The arrangement changed. 

Ephesians 1:13 says that after you believed, "ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. Sealed. 

3. The third change is the one that alters how you face opposition, and it is the heart of my expression. 1 John 4:4 does not say that God is greater in the abstract; it makes a specific comparison: "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." 

The comparison is between what is in you and what is opposing you. So the measurement is not your strength against the problem, which is usually a discouraging calculation. It is the Greater One resident in you against whatever is arrayed against you, and that is not a close contest.

Which means the right question when trouble comes is not, can I handle this, but rather, who is in me, and is He greater than this? 

4. And the fourth change is that wherever you go becomes a place where God is. Under the old covenant, you traveled to the Presence; the people went up to Jerusalem, and the priest went into the holy place. Under the new covenant, the Presence travels in you. 

That hospital roombecomes a place where God is, because you walked into it. 

That quiet house at eleven at night is inhabited, because you live there. 

The waiting room, the kitchen, the car, the nursing home hallway, all of them contain the presence of God whenever you , Christians, are in them, and Jesus Christ promised in John 7:38 that "out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water," which apostle   John explains in the next verse was spoken of the Spirit. Out of his belly. From the inside out.  I  described what this consciousness produces in a believer's ordinary life. 

Take note here, "When a man knows that the Greater One is in him, his whole bearing changes. He does not approach difficulty as one who must somehow generate enough faith to attract help from a distance; he approaches it as one who carries the answer within him. He is quiet where others are frantic, because he is not counting on his own sufficiency and he is not waiting for reinforcements to arrive. The reinforcements are resident. 

Such a man may be old, poor, unknown, and physically frail, and still be the strongest person in the room, because the measure of a believer is not what stands beside him but Who lives in him." 

The measure of a believer is not what stands beside him but Who lives in him. 

Let me give you a picture that may help fix this in your mind.

 Imagine two men crossing a dessert. The first man  has an excellent guide walking beside him, a man who knows every well with water and every shortcut. That is a great advantage, and he would be foolish to refuse it. But notice his situation: he must stay near the guide, he must keep pace, he can become separated in a storm, and if the guide is delayed he waits. 

Now imagine the second man, who has no guide beside him at all, but who carries within himself an inexhaustible spring. He does not have to reach a well, because the water is in him. He cannot be separated from his supply, because it is not somewhere he must get to. He cannot lose it in a storm. It travels wherever he travels, at whatever pace he can manage, and it is available at midnight as readily as at noon. 

The first man has help with him. 

The second man has life in him. 

And Jesus Christ described the second condition exactly when He said in John 4:14, "the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." 

In him, a well, springing up. 

And there is something in that picture for anyone who has ever felt that their access to God depended on conditions they could not always meet. 

If the supply were external, then a hundred things could come between you and it: a locked church door, a body that cannot travel, a mind too tired to concentrate, a night too dark to see. But a well of spring water inside a man is unaffected by all of it. This is why a believer in solitary confinement has the same access as a believer in a cathedral, and why an exhausted saint at three o'clock in the morning has the same access as a rested one at nine o'clock 🕘 on a Sunday. 

The arrangement Father God chose deliberately removed every barrier that circumstances could ever erect, and He chose it because He knew exactly what His children would face. 

Now let me guard this truth carefully, because a doctrine this exalted attracts serious error. 

1. The first guardrail is the most important: the indwelling does not make you God, and it never blurs the line between the Creator and the creature. You remain a created being, dependent every moment upon the One who dwells in you, and He remains God. 

We ourselves are careful here, and Scripture is careful; 2 Peter 1:4 says, we are "partakers of the divine nature," which is a participation in His life, not an absorption into His deity. You are a temple, and a temple is never confused with the One who inhabits it. Any teaching that ends with a man thinking he has become a god to be worshipped has left true Christianity behind entirely. 

2. The second guardrail is that this is a fact, not a feeling, and it must never be measured by emotion. There will be mornings when you sense God and mornings when you sense nothing at all, and the indwelling is exactly the same on both conditions. Feelings are weather; the residence is geography. 

3. The third guardrail is that the indwelling is holy and carries an obligation, which is precisely the argument Paul makes in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: "know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you... therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." The nearness of God is a call to holiness, not a license. 

4. And the fourth guardrail is that having God in you does not mean you need no one else; the same Scriptures that teach the indwelling also command us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, and the believer who withdraws from other people on the grounds that he has God inside him has misapplied a great truth. 

Now if you have lived a good many years, this is for you, and I want to begin with the strangest and most wonderful fact in this entire teaching. 

The Spirit of the Almighty God has chosen to make His residence in a body that is wearing out. Think about that for a moment, because we rarely stop to. He is not waiting for a better house. He did not move in on the condition that the roof hold up, and He has no intention of relocating as the structure ages. Apostle Paul put it exactly this way in 2 Corinthians 4:7: "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." Earthen vessels. Clay pots. Ordinary, breakable, unimpressive containers holding something of immeasurable worth, and Paul says the arrangement is deliberate, so that everyone can see that the power belongs to God rather than to the container. So when you look in the mirror at a face that has changed, wrinkles aged, or lift a hand that does not work the way it did, understand what you are actually looking at. You are looking at an earthen vessel containing the Greater One, and the vessel was never the point. 

And this bears directly on a fear that visits many older believers, which is the fear of being left. You have watched people leave. Some left by moving away, some left by drifting, and some left by dying,  and after enough of that a person can begin to hold everything loosely, half expecting the next departure. So let this settle in you: the One who lives inside you is the only companion you have ever had who cannot leave, because He is not beside you, He is within you. Hebrews 13:5 says, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee," and Jesus said the Comforter would abide with you for ever. 

Under the old covenant a man could pray, as David did, take not thy Holy Spirit from me, but that prayer belongs to an arrangement that has been superseded. You are sealed. Whatever else changes in the years ahead, the residence does not. And here is what that means for the places your later years may take you.

 If you are in a hospital, that room contains the presence of God, because you are in it. If you move to a smaller place, or to a room in your child's house, or to a facility with a number on the door, the presence goes where you go: you are not leaving Him behind with the furniture. If you reach a season when you cannot get to church building, understand clearly that you have not been cut off from the presence of God, because you never traveled to it in the first place; His presence lives in you. The old covenant saint went up to the temple. You are the temple, and that has not changed and will not change no matter how far your world narrows. 

And let me say a word about the last journey, since this teaching touches it naturally. Many believers imagine that at the end they will meet God, as though He were waiting at a destination they must reach. But He will not be meeting you at the end of that road as a stranger who has been waiting elsewhere. He has been inside you the whole way, through every year of your life, and when the moment comes, you will not be traveling toward Him; you will simply be seeing face to face the One who has been dwelling within you since the day you believed. 

2 Corinthians 5:8 speaks of being "absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." Present with the Lord, with no gap, no waiting, and no introduction required. So whatever remains of your road, you do not walk it toward God. You walk it with God inside you, and you arrive already knowing Him. 

Now here is the truth I want to leave with you, and I would ask you to sit with it for a moment before you move on with your evening. You have never once had to bring God into a room. Not one time in your entire Christian life.

 Every place you have walked into since the day you were born again, you walked in carrying the Spirit of the living God inside you. 

The night you sat in the emergency room, He was not somewhere overhead considering whether to come down; He was inside you in that plastic chair. 

The morning of the funeral, He was not observing from heaven; He rode to the cemetery in your chest. 

The long afternoons in the quiet house, the appointments you went to alone, the nights you could not sleep, in every one of them the Greater One was resident in your body, nearer than your own thoughts, closer than your breath. 

So stop asking Him to show up and start acknowledging the One who is already here.

 Stop measuring your strength against your problems and start measuring the Greater One against them, because 1 John 4:4 makes that exact comparison and declares the outcome. You are not a person hoping for divine assistance. You are the dwelling place of God, and that has been true of you on your best days andyour worst, whether you felt it or not, because it rests on what Christ finished rather than on anything you have managed since. 

I left a charge on this that belongs in the memory of every believer. I wrote, "Cease from the vain effort to bring God near, and begin to live in the consciousness of the God who is already within. This is the whole secret of the victorious Christian life, and it is available to the weakest saint the moment he believes it. The Greater One does not become greater by your feeling Him, and He does not become smaller by your forgetting Him. He simply is, resident and sufficient, and the believer who learns to reckon on that fact will find every other difficulty in the Christian life growing smaller in proportion." Resident and sufficient. Reckon on that fact. 

So let this settle the great question of where God is in relation to you. He walked with Adam, went with the patriarchs, filled a tent, filled a temple, and finally became a Man and tabernacled among us as Emmanuel, God with us. And then Jesus Christ told His disciples there was one step nearer still and that it justified His going away, saying of the Spirit, "he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." With became in, exactly as prophet Ezekiel had prophesied when God said,"I will put my spirit within you. So the during New Testament era says plainly that you are the temple of God, that the Spirit dwells in you, that Christ is in you the hope of glory, and that he who is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. And four things change the moment that settles in you. 

God no longer has to be summoned, because He is present, so prayer becomes acknowledgment rather than attraction. Distance becomes impossible, because you are sealed and He has promised never to leave, which is why no New Testament believer ever prays that the Spirit be not taken from him or her. 

Opposition is measured differently, because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world, and that comparison is the only one that matters. 

And wherever you go, it becomes a place where God is, so that the hospital room, the quiet house, and the waiting room all contain His presence because you walked in. Keep the guardrails: you are a temple and not a deity, this is fact rather than feeling, the indwelling calls you to holiness rather than license, and it never excuses you from needing other people. 

The Greater One is not coming. He came, and He has been in you all along. 

I tell you, "The believer who has grasped the indwelling will never again feel small in the presence of circumstances, for he has understood that the contest is not between his ability and his trouble, but between the God who lives in him and whatever dares to oppose a child of God. Let him walk through his days quietly conscious of that indwelling, thanking the Father for it in the morning and resting in it at night, and he will find that the Christian life, which once seemed such a strain, has become the simple Overflow of a life that was placed within him."

 The simple overflow of a life placed within you.

That is what has been inside you all along. 

And remember, this entire teaching is written out for you, word for word. 

To the praise of Gods grace and glory. 🙏🏽 

Transcription intégrale de l'intervention de Benjamin Netanyahu devant les Nations unies, le jeudi 24 septembre 2026.

 Transcription intégrale de l'intervention de Benjamin Netanyahu devant les Nations unies, le jeudi 24 septembre 2026.

Benjamin Netanyahu : « S'il reste d'autres lâches qui n'ont pas encore quitté cette salle, je vous prie de le faire maintenant. Merci beaucoup. Mesdames et Messieurs, il y a 14 ans, je me tenais à cette tribune et j'ai tracé une ligne rouge.

J'ai juré d'empêcher la dictature meurtrière de l'Iran de mettre au point des bombes atomiques. Des armes nucléaires destinées à détruire Israël, des armes nucléaires susceptibles de menacer le monde entier. C'est exactement ce que nous avons fait.

À présent, permettez-moi de dire quelque chose. Cela pourrait vous surprendre. Détruire les installations nucléaires iraniennes fut une tâche ardue.

C'était très difficile à accomplir. Mais pour moi, ce fut l'une des décisions les plus faciles que j'aie jamais eu à prendre en tant que Premier ministre. Car si nous ne l'aviez pas fait, nous serions tous morts.

Voulez-vous connaître l'ironie suprême ? En se défendant, Israël défend également bon nombre des pays dont les délégués viennent de quitter cette salle.

En fait, je tiens à ce que vous sachiez que beaucoup de leurs dirigeants nous remercient même en privé d'avoir neutralisé le programme nucléaire iranien. Difficile d'imaginer une hypocrisie plus sidérante, mais c'est pourtant bien la réalité. Ce n'est pas la première fois que nous sommes confrontés à une menace d'anéantissement.

Le 5 juin 1967, Israël était encerclé par des ennemis qui avaient juré ouvertement de nous détruire. Nous étions alors en Judée-Samarie. Le cœur de la terre ancestrale du peuple juif.

Nous n'étions pas à Gaza. Nous étions présents sur le plateau du Golan — et, Monsieur Ashara, sachez que les Juifs sont présents sur le Golan depuis l'époque de Moïse. Vous pouvez le lire dans la Bible.

Non, à cette époque, à la veille de la guerre des Six Jours en 1967, nous n'occupions aucun de ces territoires. Nous occupions une minuscule bande de terre. C'est toujours le cas.

Une superficie équivalant à environ un tiers d'un... » ...pour cent de la superficie terrestre mondiale. Pourtant, ils accusent Israël — ce minuscule Israël — de colonialisme. Quel colonialisme !

Et qui nous accuse ? Parmi eux, des gens de Grande-Bretagne et de France ; bon sang, ce sont eux qui ont consacré ce terme. Leurs colonies... s'étendaient sur le globe entier.

Le colonialisme nous a laissé un répit. Encore un mensonge. L'heure de vérité, sur ce minuscule bout de terre.

Pas de Cisjordanie, pas de bande de Gaza, pas de plateau du Golan. Il s'agit simplement de la survie même de cet unique État juif, car c'est bien là l'enjeu de ce conflit. Il ne s'agit pas de territoires.

Il s'agit de l'existence d'un État juif, quelles que soient ses frontières ; et pourtant, à cette époque précise, nous étions menacés d'anéantissement par trois armées arabes sur le point de nous envahir. Savez-vous ce que faisaient les Israéliens à ce moment-là ? Ils creusaient des fosses communes, en prévision des milliers de victimes, pour enterrer nos morts.

À l'époque, j'étais un lycéen israélien à Philadelphie, en Pennsylvanie. Cinq jours avant le déclenchement de la guerre, je suis rentré en Israël par avion.

J'ai trouvé un pays plongé dans l'obscurité totale. Israël se préparait au choc. J'étais revenu... pour voir mon frère, Jonathan, Yolatan, Yoni.

C'était un officier parachutiste de 21 ans. Et comme le reste de... enfin, comme le reste de l'armée, son unité était déjà mobilisée. Je suis parti à sa recherche.

On m'a dit... Les parachutistes campent dans les vergers, les orangeraies autour de Ramla. Alors je m'y suis rendu.

J'ai interrogé des soldats : « Savez-vous où se trouve Yoni Netanyahou ? » « Non, non. »

Puis l'un d'eux a dit : « Euh, vous parlez du jeune ? Oui, il est dans le groupe d'à côté. » Alors j'y suis allé.

Et soudain, au bout d'une longue rangée d'arbres, j'ai aperçu mon frère. Il a été totalement stupéfait de me voir. « Bibi », a-t-il dit, « Bibi, que fais-tu là ? »

Nous avons couru l'un vers l'autre ; nous nous sommes serrés dans nos bras. Et dominant... ... une tasse de café militaire de fortune. Je lui ai posé la question qui me préoccupait.

La question que tout le monde se posait. « Alors, Yoni, ai-je dit, que va-t-il se passer ? » Il a marqué une pause, puis il a prononcé des mots que je n'oublierai jamais.

« Nous allons gagner, a-t-il dit. Nous n'avons pas le choix. » Je me souviens de ces mots comme si c'était hier.

Vous ne savez pas de quoi vous parlez. Écoutez bien : il y a deux jours... il y a deux jours... il y a deux jours. Voici ce que je dis.

Mon collègue Emmanuel Macron... Il y a deux ou trois jours, un citoyen français...

Nerya Shukrun, père de six enfants, a été abattu. Alors qu'il se rendait à une source avec son fils de 16 ans, en Judée-Samarie, un terroriste du Hamas a surgi et a tiré sur lui à bout portant. Ses derniers mots furent : « Fuis, fuis, mon fils, sauve-toi. » C'était il y a trois jours.

Il y a deux jours, en Samarie, un officier de réserve — un soldat de réserve — a été fauché par un terroriste lors d'une attaque en voiture. Il lutte actuellement pour sa survie dans un hôpital de Jérusalem. J'ai rendu visite à sa famille juste avant de prendre l'avion pour venir ici.

Nerya, père de quatre enfants, est le fils de Yehuda Lancry, notre brillant ambassadeur aux États-Unis. Il y a trois ans, le fils aîné de Yehuda, Moshe, père de six enfants, a été tué alors qu'il sécurisait un bâtiment piégé à Gaza. Vous m'entendez ?

Votre douleur est immense. Tout le peuple d'Israël, ainsi que beaucoup à l'étranger, prient pour que Nerya survive. Mais malgré la douleur, malgré l'agonie, nous ne cédons pas.

Dans une publication récente, avant d'être attaqué, Nerya a écrit ceci. Écoutez bien : « Nous n'avons pas d'autre pays. »

« C'est un privilège de le défendre. » À Nerya et à tous les héros d'Israël, je fais un serment sacré :

Votre sacrifice ne sera pas vain. Nous continuerons à défendre notre État. Nous continuerons à l'emporter, car nous n'avons pas d'autre choix.

Et dans cette bataille contre les barbares, nous n'avons pas eu de meilleur partenaire que le président Trump. Je le remercie. Je le remercie pour son leadership audacieux.

Il a affronté avec courage un immense danger pour l'Amérique, pour Israël et pour le monde. Il y a des décennies, il a compris que si on les laissait agir sans opposition, les ayatollahs fanatiques qui scandent « Mort à l'Amérique, mort à Israël » finiraient par mettre à exécution leurs délires insensés. Israël et l'Amérique ont donc agi de concert, non seulement pour nous protéger, mais pour sauver la civilisation.

De courageux pilotes américains, aux côtés de courageux pilotes israéliens, ont mené des missions conjointes dans le ciel iranien. L'Amérique et Israël collaborent également pour ramener les otages qui nous restent. Nous les avons tous ramenés, jusqu'au dernier.

Vous demandez pourquoi nous l'emportons ? Eh bien, Yoni l'a dit simplement : nous n'avons pas d'autre choix.

Et tout au long de cette longue guerre, notre objectif n'a jamais vacillé : vaincre, vaincre avec une détermination inébranlable, vaincre avec un courage sans faille, car c'est là l'essence d'Israël. Une nation unie pour un avenir commun, rassemblant gauche et droite, jeunes et anciens, croyants et laïcs. Avons-nous des divergences ?

Bien sûr. Qui n'en a pas ? Mais dans les moments critiques, ces instants qui façonnent notre destin, nous faisons bloc, car ce qui nous unit est bien plus puissant.

Notre histoire, nos valeurs, notre courage — le courage de notre peuple valeureux, qui a résisté aux 1 000 missiles balistiques massifs que l'Iran a fait pleuvoir sur nos villes et nos civils. Mesdames et Messieurs, vous êtes assis ici, dans la salle de l'Assemblée générale ; savez-vous ce qu'un seul missile balistique d'une tonne — une seule tonne — pourrait provoquer ? S'il frappait ce lieu, il raserait l'ensemble du complexe.

En fait, deux missiles de ce type anéantiraient l'ONU. Vous pouvez donc l'imaginer. Imaginez 1 000 missiles gigantesques s'abattant du ciel sur vos villes et vos foyers.

Je salue le courage du peuple d'Israël. Je salue le courage de nos valeureux soldats — juifs, chrétiens et musulmans. L'armée la plus morale au monde : Tsahal.

Depuis trois ans, nos courageux soldats mènent une guerre avec bravoure. Mais cette guerre comporte un huitième front. C'est une guerre pour la vérité. Cette guerre se livre dans les médias du monde entier et, de manière plus pernicieuse encore, sur les réseaux sociaux. Plusieurs pays étrangers ont dépensé des sommes colossales pour répandre des mensonges sur mon pays. Le Qatar a été le premier à agir ainsi.

Il y a des décennies, il a commencé à financer massivement des universités américaines et des médias toxiques, tels qu'Al Jazeera. Ils ont fait de même en Europe, d'ailleurs. Et leur objectif était clair.

Endoctriner les jeunes esprits pour qu'ils soutiennent Israël, tout en haïssant l'Amérique et l'Occident. C'est ce même Qatar qui héberge les bouchers du Hamas responsables des massacres du 7 octobre. Aujourd'hui, la Turquie est le dernier pays en date à devenir un foyer majeur de mensonges antisémites.

Erdogan. Et qu'est-ce qu'un tyran ? Il héberge lui aussi les chefs terroristes du Hamas.

Il a fait assassiner des milliers de civils kurdes. Il nie le génocide arménien. Il emprisonne des journalistes et des dirigeants de l'opposition.

En fait, je crois qu'il détient le record mondial en la matière, ce qui n'est pas peu dire. Mais je pense qu'il arrive en tête. Il occupe illégalement le nord de Chypre, membre de l'UE, et multiplie les provocations à l'encontre de la Grèce, membre de l'OTAN.

À présent, il veut s'emparer de la Syrie. Cela n'a rien d'étonnant, car il appelle à la destruction d'Israël presque chaque jour.

Il prétend qu'il deviendra le maître de Jérusalem. Non, monsieur. Cela n'arrivera pas.

C'est notre pays, notre ville, notre capitale éternelle. Des tyrans, aux quatre coins du monde, cherchent à nous menacer.

Ils tentent d'ébranler notre détermination par leur campagne de mensonges. Mais, en fin de compte, tout comme sur le champ de bataille militaire, le peuple juif l'emportera. Cela prendra du temps.

Il faudra du temps pour vaincre les mensonges. Il faudra du temps pour que le monde reconnaisse ce qui est pourtant si évident : le Hamas a utilisé des civils palestiniens comme boucliers humains.

Ils ont effectivement utilisé des hôpitaux, des écoles et des mosquées comme postes de commandement terroristes. Ils ont détourné une grande partie de la nourriture que nous faisions entrer à Gaza. Et alors que le Hamas faisait tout son possible pour maintenir les civils palestiniens en danger...

...souvent sous la menace des armes, Israël a tout mis en œuvre pour les mettre à l'abri. Nous avons envoyé des millions de SMS pour avertir les civils de quitter les zones de combat.

Nous avons passé des millions d'appels téléphoniques. Nous avons largué des millions de tracts. Je tiens à vous poser quelques questions.

Quel régime génocidaire fournit des vaccins à la population ennemie ? Quel régime génocidaire permet la distribution de deux millions de tonnes de nourriture à Gaza ? Cela représente une tonne par habitant.

Accuser Israël de génocide est le plus grand mensonge du siècle. Si vous voulez mesurer l'ampleur de ce mensonge, si vous voulez comprendre à quel point il est absurde, écoutez le colonel John Spencer. Responsable des études sur la guerre urbaine à West Point, il est considéré comme l'un des plus grands experts mondiaux — peut-être même le plus grand — en la matière.

Je crois qu'il est parmi nous aujourd'hui. Colonel Spencer... Le colonel Spencer a étudié tous les conflits urbains, de l'Antiquité à nos jours.

De la Grèce antique à Mossoul, en passant par Gaza. Et voici ce que dit le colonel Spencer : Israël a fait plus que n'importe quelle autre armée dans l'histoire pour prévenir les pertes civiles et limiter les effets de la guerre.

Nous avons pris d'innombrables mesures pour protéger la population civile. Est-ce un génocide ? Bien sûr que non.

C'est tout le contraire d'un génocide. Alors, à tous ceux qui propagent ces mensonges sur mon pays et sur nos courageux soldats — qu'ils siègent dans cette salle ou qu'ils occupent le bureau du maire antisémite de New York — je dis ceci : honte à vous. Honte à vous de déformer les faits.

Honte à vous d'inverser les rôles entre victime et agresseur. Honte à vous de cracher au visage de la vérité. Monsieur Mandani, depuis votre élection à la mairie de cette ville, de nombreux Juifs ne se sentent plus en sécurité à New York.

Ils me parlent. Ils me le disent. Ce n’est plus la ville dont nous gardons le souvenir.

Elle a changé si vite. Aujourd'hui, cela n'a rien d'étonnant. Vous encensez des criminels reconnus coupables d'avoir soutenu le Hamas ?

Vous comptez parmi vos amis des personnes comme Hassan Piker, qui a affirmé que l'Amérique méritait le 11 septembre. Que l'Amérique méritait le 11 septembre. De bien belles fréquentations.

Vous avez invité chez vous un journaliste palestinien qui a filmé les actes terroristes du Hamas — les passages à tabac et la torture d'otages israéliens — et qui a admis plus tard avoir refusé de publier ces vidéos afin de protéger... vous l'avez deviné : les terroristes. Votre épouse a « aimé » une publication faisant l'apologie du massacre du 7 octobre. Elle en a « aimé » une autre.

« Tel-Aviv ne devrait pas exister. » Vous refusez de condamner tout cela ? Vous accusez Israël, à tort et à maintes reprises, de génocide.

Monsieur Mandani, vous tentez de m'empêcher de venir ici. Vous avez essayé, vous avez tenté de me faire taire. Eh bien, vous ne pouvez pas me faire taire.

On ne peut pas faire taire la vérité. Et voici la vérité toute simple. Voici une vérité simple.

Israël n'a pas commis de génocide. Israël a empêché un génocide. C'est exactement cela.

C'est exactement ce que les copains du Hamas de M. Mandani nous auraient fait subir si nous ne les avions pas arrêtés. Ils nous auraient tous exterminés, jusqu'au dernier.

Les mensonges que vous et d'autres antisémites propagez au sujet des Juifs et de l'État juif ont des conséquences bien réelles. À New York, des Juifs sont menacés alors qu'ils se rendent à la synagogue. Des Juifs ont été poignardés dans la rue.

Les Juifs sont diabolisés ; ils sont pris pour cible. Simplement parce qu'ils sont juifs. Des Juifs ont été assassinés à Sydney, Manchester, Montréal et Boulder, dans le Colorado.

Ils ont été agressés à Los Angeles, Londres, Paris, Berlin et Washington D.C. Les antisémites du monde entier veulent terroriser les gens. J'ai une nouvelle pour eux : l'époque où les Juifs étaient des victimes sans défense conduites à l'abattoir est révolue. Aujourd’hui, nous avons un État. Aujourd’hui, nous avons une armée. Aujourd’hui, j’ai un peuple prêt et déterminé à se défendre.

Alors, aujourd’hui… Aujourd’hui, j’ai un message pour les Juifs du monde entier : relevez la tête.

Soyez fiers, soyez confiants. Ne vous laissez pas intimider. Dressez-vous ; et quant à tous les autres — tous ceux qui veulent défendre la vérité et la justice — rejoignez-nous pour faire face aux barbares qui menacent notre civilisation commune.

Mais… je dois être franc avec vous : tout le monde ne se dresse pas.

Nous l’avons constaté. Car, contrairement à Israël, certains — tout récemment, et particulièrement en Europe occidentale — ont choisi de ne pas se dresser. Les dirigeants de ces pays ont choisi de céder aux foules antisémites.

Ils ont choisi la faiblesse. Ils ont choisi la politique de l’apaisement. Nous ne pouvons éluder… la triste réalité qui s’offre à nous.

Dans le monde libre, beaucoup craignent de défendre la liberté. Et je leur demande : quel sera cet avenir ? À quoi mènera cette attitude ? Que vous réserve le monde ?

La fraternité des démocraties, ou les Frères musulmans ? Combien de temps vous faudra-t-il pour comprendre que ces fanatiques étranglent vos voies navigables, votre approvisionnement en énergie et vos artères économiques vitales ?

Je peux vous assurer, Mesdames et Messieurs, qu'en Israël, nous n'attendons pas que les autres se réveillent de leur sommeil moral. Nous allons de l’avant. Nous saisissons l'avenir.

Nous sommes pionniers dans des développements incroyables dans les domaines de la santé, de l’agriculture, de l’intelligence artificielle et de l’intelligence supérieure. Et nous apportons ces innovations étonnantes à toute l’humanité. Israël n’a donc jamais été aussi fort.

Nous n'avons pas peur. Mais je vais vous dire qui a peur : les tyrans de Téhéran, c’est qui. Et vous savez de quoi ils ont le plus peur ?

Leur propre peuple. Le courageux peuple iranien qui a tant sacrifié pendant si longtemps. Le régime iranien a particulièrement peur de savoir si les gens en souffrent. Quand leur peuple a ça.

Il s'agit d'un appareil de communication. Starling, qui permet aux gens d'accéder à la vérité, d'exercer, de choisir, d'exercer la liberté de pensée et la liberté d'expression. C’est pourquoi le régime iranien dépense des millions et des milliards de dollars au lieu d’économiser. censurer Internet.

Monsieur le Président. Je vais vous laisser cet appareil afin que vous puissiez le remettre à la délégation iranienne. Ainsi, lorsqu’ils feront inévitablement défection, eux aussi pourront raconter librement leur histoire sur les réseaux sociaux.

Aux manifestants dehors, aux délégués hypocrites qui nous ont tous quittés, je demande : où étiez-vous lorsque les tyrans iraniens ont massacré et mutilé des dizaines de milliers de civils iraniens non armés ? Lorsqu’ils ont massacré et mutilé des milliers de leurs propres citoyens, où étiez-vous… Avez-vous organisé des rassemblements de masse ?

Des grèves de la faim ? Avez-vous manifesté devant la mission iranienne auprès de l’ONU ? Avez-vous parlé, d'ailleurs ?

Pour les chrétiens persécutés en Iran et dans tout le Moyen-Orient ? Non, non, tu n’as pas fait ça, parce que tu es faux. Manifestants des droits de l'homme.

Je suis chrétien; vous savez que leur nombre chute partout au Moyen-Orient, où ils sont persécutés, sauf dans un endroit, mon pays, Israël, où la communauté chrétienne grandit, prospère et réussit. En fait, vous n’avez pas protesté lorsque nous avons quitté Bethléem et que nous étions sous notre contrôle, c’était à 80 à 90 % de chrétiens, et nous l’avons donné à l’autorité palestinienne, et aujourd’hui, c’est à 80 à 90 % de musulmans. Tout le monde, les chrétiens, ont été chassés.

Avez-vous protesté contre cela ? Est-ce que vous en avez parlé ? Rien.

Rien, pas eux. Et vous n’avez rien dit sur l’Iran pour l’instant. Vous n'avez rien dit sur l'Iran.

Mais je veux vous annoncer la bonne nouvelle. Malgré votre silence, malgré votre hypocrisie, ce n’est qu’une question de temps. Que si l’Iran se produisait, quelque chose d’incroyable se produirait. Le pouvoir du peuple vaincra celui qui est au pouvoir.

Je veux que vous écoutiez attentivement mes paroles. Un jour, et ce n’est peut-être pas loin, le peuple iranien sera libre. Leur régime meurtrier sera renversé par ses mensonges, par sa corruption, par sa cruauté.

Ce régime maléfique tombera et nous célébrerons tous ce jour. Mesdames et messieurs, l'histoire de mon peuple, le peuple juif, remonte à plus de 3 000 ans. Nous parlons la même langue ; nous parlons aujourd’hui la même langue qu’à l’époque.

Nous vivons sur le même territoire où vivaient alors nos ancêtres. David, Salomon, Isaïe, Jérémie. C’est notre terre, la terre d’Israël.

Nos prophètes, notre objectif et notre peuple sont uniques dans l’histoire. Nos valeurs inspirent l’humanité depuis des millénaires. La croyance en un Dieu unique, le caractère sacré de la vie, l’État de droit, notre quête éternelle de paix, notre quête éternelle de justice.

Ce sont ces valeurs sacrées qui nous ont propulsés à travers les âges. Ce sont ces valeurs qui nous ont aidés à vaincre les obstacles de l’histoire. Le grand écrivain américain Mark Wayne l’a si bien dit il y a 125 ans.

Il l’a dit bien avant la renaissance de l’État juif moderne, bien avant les grandes victoires des soldats israéliens. Voici ce qu’il a dit. Le Juif a fait une merveille ; le Juif a fait un merveilleux combat dans ce monde.

À tous les âges, et il l’a fait les mains liées derrière le dos. L’Égyptien, le Babylonien et le Perse se sont levés, ont rempli la planète de son et de splendeur, puis se sont évanouis en rêve et sont décédés. D'autres peuples ont surgi et ont tenu leur flambeau haut pendant un certain temps, mais il s'est éteint et ils restent assis dans le crépuscule.

Les Juifs les ont tous vus, tous battus, et il est maintenant ce qu'il a toujours été, ne manifestant aucune décadence, aucune infirmité de l'âge, aucun affaiblissement de son moral, aucun ralentissement de ses énergies. Mesdames et Messieurs, au fil des siècles, les tyrannies qui tentaient de nous détruire ont échoué à maintes reprises. Et si Dieu le veut, ils continueront à échouer.

Si nous rassemblons notre courage, si nous volons notre détermination, nous continuerons à gagner. Comme le dit la Bible, l’éternité d’Israël ne faiblira pas, et la raison est simple. Nous n'avons pas d'autre choix.

Merci à tous. Merci."

本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在联合国发表讲话的完整实录——2026年9月24日，星期四。

 本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在联合国发表讲话的完整实录——2026年9月24日，星期四。

本雅明·内塔尼亚胡：“如果还有其他尚未离开会场的懦夫，请现在就离开。非常感谢。女士们、先生们，14年前，我站在这里，划定了一条红线。

我誓言要阻止伊朗那个嗜杀的独裁政权研制原子弹——那些旨在毁灭以色列、甚至威胁全世界的核武器。而这正是我们所做的。

现在，我要说一件事，这可能会让你们感到惊讶：摧毁伊朗的核设施是一项艰巨的任务。

这非常困难。但对我而言，这是我担任总理期间所做的最容易的决定之一。因为如果我们不这么做，我们所有人都会丧命。

现在，你们想听听最讽刺的事实吗？以色列在保卫自己的同时，也在保卫许多国家的安全——而这些国家的代表刚才正愤而离席。

事实上，我要告诉你们，他们的许多领导人甚至私下里感谢我们摧毁了伊朗的核设施。很难想象还有比这更令人震惊的虚伪行径，但这确实就是事实。当然，这并非我们首次面临被彻底毁灭的威胁。

1967年6月5日，以色列被那些公开扬言要消灭我们的敌人团团包围。当时，我们身处犹大和撒马利亚地区——那是犹太民族历史家园的核心地带。

我们当时并不在加沙。我们在戈兰高地——哦，阿沙拉（Ashara）先生，你应该知道，早在摩西时代，犹太人就已经在戈兰高地生活了。这一点在《圣经》里都有记载。

不，在1967年“六日战争”前夕，我们并不在上述任何地方。我们当时身处一块狭长的弹丸之地。如今依然如此。

那块土地的面积大约只相当于……的三分之一……” ……占全球陆地面积的百分之……然而，他们却指责以色列——那个微小的以色列——搞殖民主义。这算哪门子殖民主义啊。

指责我们的都是些什么人呢？其中不乏英国人和法国人——天哪，这词儿可是他们自己定义的。而他们的殖民地……可是遍布全球的。

“殖民主义给了我们喘息之机”——这又是一个谎言。在那片弹丸之地上，那是生死存亡的时刻。

不关乎约旦河西岸，不关乎加沙，也不关乎戈兰高地。关乎的仅仅是这个唯一的犹太国家能否生存下去——因为这才是这场冲突的本质。它无关领土之争。

它关乎的是一个犹太国家——无论边界如何——能否存在的问题。然而，就在那个时刻，我们正面临着被三支即将入侵的阿拉伯军队彻底消灭的威胁。你知道当时的以色列人在做什么吗？他们在挖掘万人坑，为即将到来的成千上万的伤亡做准备，准备安葬我们的死者。

那时，我是一名身在宾夕法尼亚州费城的以色列高中生。战争爆发前五天，我飞回了以色列。

我看到的是一个处于全面灯火管制中的国家。以色列正严阵以待，准备迎接冲击。我飞回来……是为了见我的哥哥乔纳森（Jonathan）——也就是约拉坦（Yolatan）或约尼（Yoni）。

他当时是一名21岁的伞兵军官。像军队里的其他人一样，他的部队也已经完成了动员集结。我去找他。

我被告知……伞兵部队驻扎在拉姆拉（Ramla）周边的果园里，那些橘子林中。于是我去了那里。

我问了一些士兵：“你们知道约尼·内塔尼亚胡（Yoni Netanyahu）在哪儿吗？”“不知道，不知道。”

这时，一个人说：“呃，你是说那个年轻人吗？噢，他在隔壁那组。”于是我又去了那边。

突然，在一排长长的树木尽头，我看到了我的哥哥。看到我，他简直惊呆了。“比比（Bibi），”他说，“比比，你怎么在这儿？”

我们奔向彼此，紧紧相拥。 ……给他们……一杯简易冲泡的军用咖啡。我问了他那个一直萦绕在我心头的问题。

这也是每个人都在思考的问题。于是我问：“尤尼，接下来会发生什么？”他停顿了一下，然后说了一句我永远不会忘记的话。

“我们会赢，”他说，“我们别无选择。”那番话我至今记忆犹新，仿佛就在昨天。

“我们会赢。我们别无选择。”而当我们最终获胜后的九年，巴勒斯坦恐怖分子劫持了一架飞往以色列的客机。

他们将飞机劫持到了乌干达的恩德培。就像纳粹一样，恐怖分子专门挑出了犹太乘客——包括男人、女人、儿童和婴儿。他们扬言要将这些人全部杀害。

除非以色列释放巴勒斯坦恐怖分子。于是，在1960年7月4日——抱歉，是1976年7月4日，即美国建国两百周年纪念日那天，尤尼率领他英勇的士兵深入非洲腹地，执行了一次现代史上最具戏剧性的救援任务。

奇迹般地，他们救出了103名犹太人质，并将他们全部带回了家——无一遗漏。我的哥哥，也就是这支突击队的指挥官，是这次行动中唯一牺牲的士兵。我要再次感谢乌干达，感谢他们在尤尼牺牲的地方为他竖立了雕像。

朋友们，这些话在今天依然像半个多世纪前那样真实有力：我们会赢。我们别无选择。

这一点在2023年10月7日——以色列历史上最黑暗的一天——体现得尤为明显。在那可怕的一天，成千上万的巴勒斯坦人——即恐怖分子——从加沙冲入以色列境内。我要让你们知道，当时加沙地带没有一个以色列人。

没有平民，没有士兵，一个都没有。但这根本无关紧要。哈马斯恐怖分子制造了自大屠杀以来针对犹太人的最惨烈屠杀。

他们挨家挨户地搜寻，近距离射杀以色列平民。他们行凶时带着恶魔般的狂喜和施虐的快感，甚至在杀戮的同时进行直播。而他们杀害的是谁呢？

正是那些以色列人——他们的邻居，是这些人给他们提供了工作，是这些人把巴勒斯坦儿童从加沙边境接上车，送往以色列医院接受癌症治疗，然后再把他们送回来。你能想象这种暴行吗？这些哈马斯恶魔。

他们屠杀了大屠杀幸存者。他们在父母面前活活烧死了婴儿。他们砍下了我们男性的头颅。

他们残忍地强奸了我们的女性，然后将其杀害。那天，他们总共屠杀了1200名以色列人。让我来告诉你们，这对一个拥有1000万人口的国家来说意味着什么。

按比例计算，这相当于在不到24小时内有4万名无辜的美国人惨遭屠杀。这相当于16次“9·11”事件——整整16次“9·11”——而且就发生在离这里不远的地方。

在那最黑暗的日子里，我们的敌人以为我们会崩溃。然而，我们没有崩溃。相反，我们奋起反击，像狮子一样战斗。

过去三年里，我们英勇的士兵日复一日地战斗，应对着七条战线上的战争。你们知道还有哪个国家——像新泽西州那么大——有能力同时在七条战线上作战吗？

整整三年，七条战线：哈马斯、真主党、胡塞武装、伊朗、伊拉克的民兵组织、叙利亚的民兵组织，以及在犹大和撒马利亚地区的巴勒斯坦恐怖分子。他们联手企图将我们从地球上抹去。

但他们失败了。因为我们非但没有垮掉，反而给予了他们毁灭性的打击。我们与伟大的美国朋友一道，重创了伊朗的陆、海、空军及核设施。

以色列痛击了哈马斯，我们也重创了真主党。还记得那些寻呼机吗？记得吗？

还有那些家伙？记得他们吗？是吧？

我可以告诉你们，巴拉（Bala）肯定记得他们。猜猜真主党那庞大的军火库——原本瞄准我们平民的15万枚弹道导弹和火箭弹——现在怎么样了？它们全都没了。真主党的领导人死了，他们的士气也崩溃了。

那些地球上最恶劣的杀人魔——他们不仅杀害以色列人，还杀害美国人、英国人以及来自数百个国家的公民。战争造成了无数伤亡，还有成千上万企图毁灭我们的恐怖分子。

如今，他们也都不复存在了。残余的恐怖分子正拼命试图重整旗鼓。他们每天都企图谋杀我们的人民。

尤其是，他们企图在我们历史悠久的家园——犹地亚（Judea）——杀害我们的人民。顺便提一下，“犹太人”（Jew）这个词正是源自“犹地亚”（Judea）。那是我们的土地。

他们企图谋杀我们。每年都有数千次袭击企图，针对的是那些在公路上行驶的家庭——那些平静生活的家庭。他们向孕妇开枪。

他们向整个家庭开枪。当然，国际媒体或社交媒体上根本不报道这些。一点都不报。

完全不报。他们报道的只是少数——大约150个——年轻的“问题少年”（姑且称之为“问题少年”），他们去投掷石块，去……呃……砍伐橄榄树。偶尔，他们确实会放火，点燃一些火堆。

我无法容忍这种事。我绝不容忍私刑行为。我们是一个法治国家。

所以我们派出了辛贝特（Shin Bet）去对付他们。但这却被贴上了“定居者暴力”的标签。看看每年的伤亡人数——也许只有两三个——以及整个讨论所涉及的死者总数——也许也就两三个；相比之下，针对那些爱好和平的定居者的恐怖袭击却有成千上万起。

他们是正派、守法的人。这简直是歪曲事实，这是一种偏执。

我听到了这里的讨论。各国领导人竟然在煞有介事地谈论这个问题，语气还显得那么郑重其事，说什么“我们无法容忍定居者的行径”。

你们根本不知道自己在说什么。听着，就在两天前——两天前啊，老兄。

我的同事埃马纽埃尔·马克龙（Emmanuel Macron）……就在两三天前，一名法国公民——

纳撒尼尔·舒昆（Nathaniel Shukun），一位六个孩子的父亲，遭枪杀身亡。当时他正带着16岁的儿子在犹太和撒马利亚地区的一处泉水边游玩，一名哈马斯恐怖分子突然出现，对他近距离开枪。他留下的最后一句话是：“快跑，儿子，快跑，保住性命。”那是在三天前。

两天前，在撒马利亚，一名预备役军官——一名预备役士兵——在亚莱·莱德（Yale Leider）附近遭恐怖分子驾车扫射。他现在正在耶路撒冷的一家医院里与死神搏斗。就在我登机来此之前，我刚刚探望了他的家人。

内里亚尔（Nerial）是四个孩子的父亲，也是我们杰出的驻美大使耶希达·莱德（Yahida Leider）的儿子。三年前，莱德的长子——也是六个孩子父亲的莫舍（Moshe）——在加沙清理一栋布满诱杀装置的建筑物时不幸丧生。你听到了吗，兄弟？

这种痛苦是无法估量的。你们承受着难以言喻的痛苦。整个以色列乃至海外的许多人，都在为内里亚（Nerya）的生命祈祷。然而，尽管痛苦万分，尽管备受煎熬，我们绝不屈服。

在遇袭前不久，内里亚曾写下这样一段话——请听听这段话：“我们别无他国。”

保卫这个国家是我们的殊荣。我要向内里亚以及所有以色列英雄许下一个庄严的誓言：

你们的牺牲绝不会付诸东流。我们将继续捍卫我们的国家。我们将继续赢得胜利，因为我们别无选择。

在这场对抗野蛮势力的战斗中，特朗普总统是我们最坚定的盟友。我要感谢他，感谢他展现出的果敢领导力。

他勇敢地直面了威胁美国、以色列乃至全世界的巨大危机。早在几十年前，他就意识到，如果任由那些高喊“打倒美国、打倒以色列”的狂热阿亚图拉（Ayatollahs）肆意妄为，他们终将把疯狂的幻想付诸行动。因此，以色列与美国联手行动，不仅是为了自保，更是为了捍卫文明。

勇敢的美国飞行员与以色列飞行员并肩作战，在伊朗上空执行联合任务。美以两国还携手合作，营救我们剩余的人质。我们成功救回了每一位人质。

你可能会问，我们为何能赢得胜利？其实，约尼（Yoni）说得很简单：因为我们别无选择。

在这场漫长的战争中，我们的目标始终如一：赢得胜利——以坚定的决心、以不屈的勇气赢得胜利。因为这就是以色列：一个为共同未来而战的国家，无论左翼还是右翼，无论长者还是青年，无论信徒还是世俗民众，皆团结一心。我们之间有分歧吗？

当然有。谁没有分歧呢？但在决定命运的关键时刻，我们会团结一致，因为将我们紧密相连的力量远比分歧强大得多。

那是我们的历史、我们的价值观、我们的勇气——那是我们勇敢人民的勇气；正是这种勇气，让我们挺过了伊朗向我们的城市和平民倾泻而下的上千枚重型弹道导弹的攻击。女士们、先生们，你们正坐在联合国大会堂里。你们知道吗？仅仅一枚——哪怕只有一枚——重达一吨的弹道导弹，如果击中这里，就能将整个联合国大院夷为平地。

事实上，只需两枚这样的导弹，就能彻底摧毁联合国。所以，请试想一下：如果成千上万枚巨大的导弹从天而降，落向你们的城市和家园，那会是怎样的景象？

我向以色列人民的勇气致敬。我向我们勇敢的士兵致敬——无论他们是犹太人、基督徒还是穆斯林。他们组成了世界上最讲道德的军队——以色列国防军（IDF）。

三年来，我们勇敢的士兵一直在英勇作战。但这场战争还有第八条战线，那就是一场关于真相的战争。

这场战争在世界媒体上进行，而最恶毒的战场则是在社交媒体上。一些外国投入了巨额资金，散布关于我国的谎言。卡塔尔就是始作俑者。

几十年前，它就开始向美国大学和像半岛电视台（Al Jazeera）这样毒害舆论的媒体机构提供巨额资助。顺便提一下，他们在欧洲也是这么做的。他们的目标很明确：

给年轻人洗脑，让他们仇视以色列、仇视美国、仇视西方。正是这个卡塔尔，窝藏了10月7日屠杀平民的哈马斯刽子手。如今，土耳其成了散布反犹太谎言的最新“超级推手”。

埃尔多安——这个暴君——也窝藏着哈马斯的恐怖主义头目。

他屠杀了数千名库尔德平民，否认亚美尼亚种族大屠杀，还监禁记者和反对派领袖。

事实上，我认为他在这些方面创下了世界纪录——尽管竞争很激烈，但我认为他就是“冠军”。他非法占领了欧盟成员国塞浦路斯北部，并不断侵犯北约成员国希腊。

现在，他又想吞并叙利亚。这并不令人意外，因为他几乎每天都叫嚣着要消灭以色列。

他扬言要成为耶路撒冷的统治者。不，先生，绝无可能。你们做不到。

这是我们的国家，我们的城市，我们永恒的首都。世界各地的暴君，都企图威胁我们。

他们试图用谎言攻势来动摇我们的决心。但最终，就像在军事战场上一样，犹太人民必将获胜。这需要时间。

粉碎谎言需要时间。让世界承认那些显而易见的事实——即哈马斯利用巴勒斯坦平民作为人体盾牌——也需要时间。

他们确实利用医院、学校和清真寺作为恐怖主义指挥所。他们还利用了我们运往加沙的大量食品。当哈马斯千方百计将巴勒斯坦平民置于险境时——

往往还是在枪口逼迫之下——以色列却竭尽全力将他们带离危险地带。我们发送了数百万条短信，警告平民离开交战区域。

我们拨打了数百万通电话。我们散发了数百万份传单。我想问你们几个问题。

什么样的种族灭绝政权会向敌方民众提供价值百万美元的疫苗？什么样的种族灭绝政权会促成向加沙运送两百万吨粮食？这相当于人均一吨。

指控以色列实施种族灭绝，是本世纪最大的谎言。

如果你想知道这个谎言有多大、有多荒谬，不妨听听约翰·斯宾塞（John Spencer）上校的说法。作为西点军校城市战研究项目的负责人，他被公认为全球——或许是世界顶尖的——城市战专家。

我想他今天也在现场。斯宾塞上校……斯宾塞上校研究了从古至今的每一场城市战。

从古希腊到摩苏尔，再到加沙。斯宾塞上校是这样说的：在防止平民伤亡和减少战争影响方面，以色列所做的努力超过了历史上任何一支军队。

我们采取了无数措施来保护平民。这是种族灭绝吗？当然不是。

这恰恰与种族灭绝背道而驰。因此，我要对那些散布关于我国及我们英勇士兵的谎言的人——无论你们是坐在大厅里，还是坐在那位反犹太主义的纽约市长办公室里——说一句：你们真可耻。你们歪曲事实，真可耻。

你们颠倒受害者与侵略者的角色，真可耻。你们践踏真相，真可耻。曼达尼（Mandani）先生，自从您当选这座城市的市长以来，许多犹太人在纽约不再感到安全。

他们向我倾诉，告诉我：这已不再是我们记忆中的那座城市了。

变化来得太快了。如今，这一切也就不足为奇了。您竟然赞扬那些因支持哈马斯而被定罪的罪犯？

您把像哈桑·派克（Hassan Piker）这样的人视为朋友——此人曾声称美国“活该”遭遇“9·11”袭击。您交的朋友可真“不错”啊。

您曾邀请一位巴勒斯坦记者到家中做客，此人拍摄了哈马斯恐怖分子殴打和折磨以色列人质的画面，后来却承认自己拒绝发布这些视频，目的竟是为了保护——你猜对了——那些恐怖分子。您的妻子点赞了一篇赞扬10月7日大屠杀的帖子。她还点赞了另一篇帖子。

那篇帖子声称特拉维夫不该存在。对于这一切，您都拒绝谴责吗？您却一再无端指责以色列犯下种族灭绝罪行。曼达尼先生，你试图阻止我来到这里。你曾试图让我噤声。但是，你无法让我噤声。

你无法掩盖真相。而事实很简单，非常简单。

以色列没有实施种族灭绝。以色列阻止了种族灭绝。事实正是如此。

如果不是我们阻止了他们，曼达尼先生的那些哈马斯“伙伴”就会对我们做同样的事——他们会把我们赶尽杀绝。

你和其他反犹主义者散布的关于犹太人和犹太国家的谎言，造成了切实的后果。在纽约，犹太人在去犹太会堂的路上受到威胁；在街头，犹太人遭到刺伤。

犹太人被妖魔化，成为攻击目标——仅仅因为他们是犹太人。在悉尼、曼彻斯特、蒙特利尔和科罗拉多州的博尔德，都有犹太人惨遭杀害。

他们在洛杉矶、伦敦、巴黎、柏林和华盛顿特区遭到袭击。世界各地的反犹主义者企图制造恐惧。我要告诉他们：犹太人任人宰割、毫无还手之力的日子，已经一去不复返了。

今天，我们拥有了自己的国家。今天，我们拥有了自己的军队。今天，我们的人民随时准备并愿意捍卫自己。

所以今天……我要向全世界的犹太人传达一个信息：昂起你们的头颅。

要自豪，要自信。不要被吓倒。要挺身而出；同时也呼吁所有其他想要捍卫真理与正义的人——加入我们，共同对抗那些威胁我们共同文明的野蛮行径。

但是……我必须坦诚地告诉大家：并非所有人都挺身而出。

我们看到了这一点。因为与以色列不同，有些人——尤其是最近在西欧——选择了不挺身而出。这些国家的领导人选择了向反犹暴徒屈服。

他们选择了软弱，选择了姑息。我们无法回避……摆在我们面前的这一残酷真相。自由世界中有许多人不敢捍卫自由。我曾问他们：未来会怎样？这种行径会导致什么后果？世界将给你们带来什么？

是民主国家的团结协作，还是“穆斯林兄弟会”？你们还要多久才能看清，这些狂热的极端分子正在扼杀你们的水路通道、能源供应和经济命脉？

女士们、先生们，我可以向你们保证：我们以色列人不会坐等他人从道德沉睡中觉醒。我们奋勇向前，把握未来。

我们在医疗、农业、人工智能及尖端智能领域开创了惊人的成就，并将这些卓越的创新成果造福全人类。正因如此，以色列从未像今天这样强大。

我们无所畏惧。但我可以告诉你们谁在害怕：德黑兰的暴君们——正是他们。你们知道他们最害怕什么吗？

他们害怕自己的人民——那些长期以来做出巨大牺牲的勇敢的伊朗人民。伊朗政权尤其害怕人们拥有这个东西；当人民拥有它时，他们便感到恐惧。

这是一个通讯设备——“星链”（Starlink）。它让人们能够获取真相，能够行使选择权，能够享有思想自由和言论自由。正因如此，伊朗政权宁愿挥霍数十亿美元去封锁互联网，也不愿将其用于造福民众。

主席先生，我要把这个设备留给您，请您转交给伊朗代表团。这样，当他们不可避免地选择脱离该政权时，也能在社交媒体上自由地讲述他们的经历。

对于外面的抗议者，以及那些背弃我们的虚伪代表，我要问：当伊朗暴君屠杀和残害成千上万手无寸铁的伊朗平民时，你们在哪里？当他们屠杀和残害本国数千民众时，你们在哪里……你们组织过大规模集会吗？

进行过绝食抗议吗？你们在伊朗驻联合国代表团外抗议过吗？甚至，你们为此发过声吗？

为那些在伊朗及整个中东地区遭受迫害的基督徒发声？没有。不，你们没有这样做，因为你们是虚伪的——所谓的“人权抗议者”。

我是一名基督徒；你们知道，在中东各地，基督徒因遭受迫害而人数锐减，唯独在一个地方例外——那就是我的国家以色列。在那里，基督徒群体不断壮大、蓬勃发展、蒸蒸日上。事实上，当我们要撤出伯利恒时，那里曾有80%到90%的居民是基督徒；后来我们将其移交给巴勒斯坦权力机构，如今那里80%到90%的居民却是穆斯林了。所有基督徒都被排挤走了。

你们对此抗议过吗？你们谈论过这件事吗？什么都没有。

什么都没有，你们对此只字未提。刚才，你们也对伊朗只字未提。

但我想要告诉你们一个好消息。尽管你们保持沉默，尽管你们虚伪透顶，但这只是时间问题。伊朗将发生不可思议的变化：人民的力量终将战胜当权者。

请仔细听我说：总有一天——也许这一天并不遥远——伊朗人民将获得自由。那个嗜血的政权终将因其谎言、腐败和残暴而垮台。

这个邪恶的政权必将覆灭，而我们所有人都会共同庆祝那一天的到来。女士们、先生们，我的民族——犹太民族——的历史可以追溯到三千多年前。我们使用同一种语言；今天我们所说的语言，与当年先祖所说的一模一样。

我们生活在先祖当年居住过的同一片土地上。大卫、所罗门、以赛亚、耶利米——那是我们的土地，以色列的土地。

我们的先知、我们的使命以及我们的民族，在历史上都是独一无二的。我们的价值观千百年来一直激励着全人类：对独一真神的信仰、对生命神圣性的尊重、法治精神，以及我们对和平与正义永恒的追求。

正是这些神圣的价值观，推动我们历经岁月的洗礼；正是这些价值观，助我们战胜了历史的重重险阻。125年前，伟大的美国作家马克·吐温（Mark Twain）对此有过最精彩的论述。

那是在现代犹太国家复兴之前，也是在以色列士兵赢得伟大胜利之前，他就这样说道：“犹太人创造了奇迹；在这个世界上，犹太人进行了一场非凡的奋斗。”

“历经漫长岁月，尽管双手被缚于身后，他依然做到了这一切。埃及人、巴比伦人和波斯人曾先后崛起，以声势与辉煌震撼寰宇，随后却如梦幻泡影般消逝。其他民族也曾涌现，高举火炬照亮一时，但火炬终会熄灭，他们最终陷入了黄昏般的沉寂。”

“唯有犹太人见证了这一切，战胜了这一切，并始终保持着本色——未显颓势，未露老态，精神未曾衰减，活力未曾减退。女士们、先生们，几个世纪以来，那些企图毁灭我们的暴政一次次以失败告终。若蒙上天眷顾，它们必将继续失败。”

只要我们鼓起勇气，坚定信念，我们就将继续赢得胜利。正如《圣经》所言，以色列永不衰亡；原因很简单：我们别无选择。

谢谢大家。谢谢。

Benjamin Netanyahu Before The United Nations, Thursday, September 24, 2026

 Full Transcript Of Benjamin Netanyahu , Before The United Nations, Thursday, September 24, 2026.

Benjamin Netanyahu: “If there are any other cowards who haven’t yet left this hall, please do so now. Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, 14 years ago, I stood on this podium, and I drew a red line.

I vowed to prevent Iran’s murderous dictatorship from developing atomic bombs. Nuclear weapons aimed at destroying Israel, nuclear weapons that could threaten the entire world. That’s exactly what we did.

Now, let me say something. That might surprise you. Devastating Iran’s nuclear facilities was hard.

It was very hard to do. But for me, it was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever had to make as Prime Minister. Because if we hadn’t done it, we’d all be dead.

Now, you want to hear the ultimate irony? In defending itself, Israel is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall.

In fact, I want you to know that many of their leaders even thank us privately for taking out Iran’s nukes. It’s hard to imagine more mind-blowing hypocrisy, but that’s exactly what it is. Now, this isn’t the first time we’ve faced with a threat of annihilation.

On June 5th, 1967, Israel was surrounded by enemies who openly swore to destroy us. We were, then, in Judea Samaria. The heart of the historic homeland of the Jewish people.

We weren’t in Gaza. We warned on the Golan Heights, oh, and Mr. Ashara, you should know the Jews have been on the Golan Heights since the days of Moses. You can read it in the Bible.

No, at that time, on the eve of the Six-Day War, in 1967, we weren’t in any of these places. We were in a tiny sliver of land. We still are.

That is equal to about one third of one percent. of the landmass of the entire world. Yet they accuse Israel, tiny Israel, of colonialism. Some colonialism.

And who’s accusing us? All among them are people in Britain and in France; for God’s sake, then they vetted the term. Their colonies… braced the entire globe.

Colonialism gave us a break. Another lie. The end of the time, on this tiny patch of earth.

No West Bank, no Gaza, no Golan Heights. Just the very survival of this one and only Jewish state, because this is what this conflict is about. It’s not about territories.

It’s about the existence of a Jewish state within any boundaries, and yet, at the time, right at that time, we were threatened with annihilation by three Arab armies that were about to invade us. You know what Israelis were doing at the time? They were digging mass graves, in preparation for the thousands and thousands of casualties, in preparation to bury our dead.

At the time, I was an Israeli high school student in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania. Five days before the war broke out, I flew back to Israel.

I found a country in total blackout. Israel braced for impact. I flew back… to see my brother, Jonathan, Yolatan, Yoni.

He was a 21-year-old paratrooper officer. And like the rest of his, uh, the rest of the army, his unit was already mobilized. I went to find him.

I was told… The paratroopers are encamped in the orchards, the orange groves around Ramlin. So I went there.

And I asked some soldiers. Do you know where Joni Netanyahu is? Nope, nope.

Then one guy said, Uh, you mean the young guy? Yeah, he’s in the next group. So I went there.

And suddenly, at the end of a long row of trees, I saw my brother. He was absolutely shocked to see me. Bibi, he said, Bibi, what are you doing here?

We ran; we hugged each other. And overlooked them… a cup of makeshift military coffee. I asked him the question that was on my mind.

The question that was on everybody’s mind. So, Yoni, I said, What’s gonna happen? He paused, and then he said something I’ll never forget.

We’re going to win, he said. We have no other choice. I remember those words as if it was yesterday.

We’re going to win. We have no other choice. And when we did, nine years later, Palestinian terrorists hijacked a passenger airplane headed for Israel.

They took it to Entebbe, Uganda. Like the Nazis, the terrorists selected the Jewish passengers: men, women, children, babies. They threatened to kill them all.

If Israel did not release Palestinian terrorists, then, on July 4th, 1960- sorry, on July 4th, 1976. The bicentennial of the United States, in one of the most dramatic rescue missions in modern times, Yoni led his brave soldiers to the heart of Africa.

Miraculously, they rescued 103 Jewish hostages and brought them all home, every single one of them. My brother, the commander of the party, was the only soldier killed in this mission. I want to thank Uganda again for recently erecting the statue of Yoni in the place where he fell.

My friends, these words are as true today as they were more than half a century ago. We’re going to win. We have no other choice.

At no time was this demonstrated more clearly than on October 7, 2023, the darkest day in Israel’s history. On that horrific day, thousands of Palestinians, terrorists, stormed into Israel from Gaza. Now, I want you to know, there wasn’t a single Israeli then in Gaza.

Not a civilian, not a soldier, not one. But it didn’t matter one bit. The Hamas terrorists committed the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.

They went house to house, shooting Israeli civilians point-blank. They did so with fiendish glee, with sadistic joy; they live-streamed as they murdered. And who did they murder?

The very Israelis, their neighbors who gave them jobs, who picked up Palestinian children at the Gaza border and drove them to Israeli hospitals for cancer treatment, and then brought them back. Could you imagine such monstrosity? These Hamas monsters.

They slaughtered Holocaust survivors. They burned babies alive in front of their parents. They beheaded our men.

They brutally raped our women, and then they murdered them. Altogether, they slaughtered 1,200 Israelis that day. I’m gonna give you an idea of what this means for a country of 10 million.

Proportionately. This is equal to 40,000 innocent Americans slaughtered in less than 24 hours. That’s 16 times 9/11, 16 9/11s, that occurred not very far from here.

And that darkest of days, our enemies expected us to collapse. Well, we didn’t collapse. Instead, we rose and fought like lions.

For the past three years, our heroic soldiers have fought day in and day out, in a seven-front war. Do you know any other country the size of New Jersey? Capable of fighting a seven-front war?

And for three years, seven fronts. Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iran, militias in Iraq, militias in Syria, Palestinian terrorists in Judea, Samaria. They all ganged up on us to wipe us off the face of the earth.

They failed. Because instead of collapsing, we delivered crippling blows to all of them. With our great American friends, we crushed Iran’s Army, Navy, Air Force, and nuclear facilities.

Israel hammered Hamas; we pounded Hezbollah. You remember the beepers? Remember?

These sons? Remember them? Yeah?

Well, I can tell you this, ’cause Bala certainly remembers them. Guess what happened to the bulk of Hezbollah’s vast arsenal of 150,000 ballistic missiles and rockets, all aimed at our civilians? They’re gone. Hezbollah’s leaders, dead; their spirit, broken.

The worst mass murderers on Earth, not only killing Israelis, killing Americans, killing Brits, killing citizens of hundreds of countries. How many deaths in war, and thousands of other terrorists who sought to destroy us.

Then all gone, too. The remaining terrorists are desperately trying to regroup. Every day, they try to murder our people.

And in particular, they try to murder our people in our historic homeland in Judea. By the way, that’s where the word Jew comes from: Judea. That’s our land.

They try to murder us. Thousands of attempts per year, on families, peaceful families driving along the roads. They shoot at pregnant women.

They shoot entire families. Of course, none of this is covered in the international press or in social media. None of it.

None of it. What they cover is a handful of young juvenile delinquents, about 150, a number, who go and throw stones. Who, uh, chop down olive trees. Occasionally, they do; they fire up, they light some fires.

I can’t stand that. I won’t stand for vigilantism. We’re a country of law.

So we put our shin bed on them. But that’s what they call settler violence. And the number of casualties a year, maybe two or three, and the total time that this is being discussed, maybe two or three dead, compared to the thousands of terrorist attacks. against the peaceful settlers.

Honorable people, law-abiding people. What a distortion. It’s an obsession.

I hear this discussion here. I mean, leaders of countries seriously talk about that, and they say it with such importance. We can’t stand settler runs.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Now, listen, two days ago, two days ago, two days ago. I say this, dude.

My colleague, Emmanuel Macron. Two days, three days ago. A French citizen.

Nathaniel Shukun, a father of six. was gunned down. When he visited a spring with his 16-year-old son, a Hamas terrorist, in Judea Samira, comes and fires point-blank at him, and the last words he uttered, Flee, flee, son, save yourself. That was three days ago.

Two days ago, injured in Samaria, a reserve officer, a reserve soldier, near Yale Leider, was mowed down by a drive-by terrorist. He’s fighting for his life now in a Jerusalem hospital. I visited the family right before I boarded the plane to come here.

Nerial, a father of four, is the son of Yahida Leider, our brilliant ambassador to the United States. Three years ago, Ichil’s oldest son, Mount Moshe, a father of six, was killed while clearing the booby-trapped building in Gaza. You hear my brother?

Your pain is immeasurable. The entire people of Israel, and many outside the country, are praying for Nerya’s life. But despite the pain, despite the agony, we do not give in.

In a recent post, before he was attacked, Neriya wrote this. Listen to this. We have no other country.

It’s a privilege to defend it. To Neriya, and to all the heroes of Israel. I pledge a sacred vow.

Your sacrifice will not be in vain. We will continue to defend our state. We will continue to win because we have no other choice.

And in this battle against the barbarians, we’ve had no greater partner than President Trump. I thank him. I thank him for his bold leadership.

He boldly confronted an enormous danger to America, Israel, and the world. Decades ago, he understood that if left unchallenged, the fanatic Ayatollahs who chant, Death to America, Death to Israel, would eventually carry out their mad fantasies. So Israel and America acted together, not only to protect ourselves, but to save civilization.

Brave American pilots, alongside brave Israeli pilots, flew joint missions over the skies of Iran. America and Israel also work together to bring back our remaining hostages. We brought back every last one of them.

You ask, why are we winning? Well, Yoni said it simply. We have no other choice.

And throughout this long war, our goal never wavered: to win, to win with unwavering resolve, to win with unrelenting courage, because this is Israel. One nation, fighting for one future, left and right, young and old, religious and secular. Do we have our differences?

Of course we do. Who doesn’t? But in critical moments, those moments that shape our destiny, we stand together, because what unites us is so much stronger.

Our history, our values, our courage, the courage, the courage of our brave people, who withstood 1,000 massive ballistic missiles that Iran rained down on our cities, on our civilians. Ladies and gentlemen, you’re sitting here in the General Assembly hall, and you know what, one, one ton, one just one, one ton ballistic missile would do? If it hit this place, it would obliterate the entire compound.

In fact, two such methods would obliterate the UN. So you can imagine. Think about 1,000 gigantic missiles falling from the skies on your cities and your homes.

I salute the courage of the people of Israel. I salute the courage of our brave soldiers, Jews, Christians, Jews, Muslim. The most moral army in the world, the IDF.

For three years, our brave soldiers have been valiantly fighting a war. But there’s an eighth front to this war. It’s a war for truth.

It is waged in the world’s media, and most perniciously, in social media. Several foreign countries have spent untold billions to spread lies about my country. The first to do so was Qatar.

Decades ago, it started massively funding American universities and toxic media outlets, like Al Jazeera. They did the same in Europe, by the way. And their goal was clear.

Brainwash young minds to aid Israel, hate America, hate the West. This is the same Qatar that hosts the Hamas Butchers of October 7th. Now, the latest country to become a super splinter of anti-Semitic lies is Turkey.

Erdwan. And what is a tyrant? He also hosts the Hamas terror chiefs.

Is murdered thousands of Kurdish civilians. He denies the Armenian genocide. He jails journalists and opposition leaders.

In fact, I think he holds the world’s record on this, and that’s a tough call. But I think he’s number one. He illegally occupies Northern Cyprus, an EU member, and he regularly transgresses against Greece, a NATO member.

Now he wants to take over Syria. Well, that’s not surprising. Because he calls for Israel’s destruction almost every single day.

He says he’s going to be the ruler of Jerusalem. No, sir. You won’t.

This is our country, our city, our eternal capital. Tyrants, the world over. Seek to threaten us.

They seek to undermine our resolve with their campaign of lies. But ultimately, as on the military battlefield, the Jewish people will prevail. It will take time.

It will take time to vanquish the lies. It will take time for the world to acknowledge what is so plain to see. That Hamas used Palestinian civilians as human shields.

They did use hospitals, schools, and mosques as terrorist command posts. That is, so much of the food we led into Gaza. And while Hamas did everything possible to keep Palestinian civilians in harm’s way.

Often at gunpoint. Israel did everything possible to get them out of harm’s way. We sent millions of text messages warning civilians to leave combat areas.

We made millions of phone calls. We dropped millions of leaflets. I want to ask you some questions.

What genocidal regime gives a million-dollar vaccination to the enemy’s population? One genocidal regime enables the distribution of two million tons of food into Gaza. That’s a ton for every person.

Accusing Israel of genocide is the greatest lie of the century. If you wanna know how big a lie it is, if you want to know how absurd it is, listen to Colonel John Spencer. His head of urban warfare studies at West Point is considered one of the world’s, perhaps the world’s foremost, experts. on urban warfare.

I think he’s with us today. Colonel Spencer… Colonel Spencer has studied every urban war from antiquity to modern times.

From ancient Greece, to Mosul, to Gaza. And here’s what Colonel Spencer says. Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties and war than any other military in history. in history.

We’ve taken innumerable steps to protect the civilian population. Is this genocide? Of course not.

It’s the opposite of genocide. So to all those that are spreading these lies about my country, and about our brave soldiers, whether they sit in this hall, or in the office of the anti-Semitic mayor of New York, I say this: shame on you. Shame on you for distorting the facts.

Shame on you for inverting victim and aggressor. Shame on you for spitting in the face of truth. Mr. Mandani, since you were elected mayor of this city, many Jews no longer feel safe in New York.

They talk to me. They tell me. This isn’t the city we remember.

It changed so quickly. Now, it’s no wonder. You praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas?

You count as friends people like Hassan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11. America deserved 9/11. Some friends you have.

You invited to your home a Palestinian journalist who filmed Hamas Terrorism, beating and torturing Israeli hostages, and later admitted that he refused to publish the videos in order to protect, you guessed it, the terrorists. Your wife liked the post, praising the October 7th massacre. She liked another post.

Tel Aviv shouldn’t exist. You refuse to condemn any of that? You falsely, repeatedly accuse Israel of Genocide.

Mr. Mandani, you try to stop me from coming here. You tried, you tried to silence me. Well, you can’t silence me.

You can’t silence the truth. And here’s the simple truth. Here’s a simple truth.

Israel didn’t commit genocide. Israel prevented genocide. And that’s exactly it.

That’s exactly what Mr. Mandani’s Hamas buddies would have done to us. Had we not stopped them? They would have killed every last one of us.

The lies you and others anti Semites spread about the Jews, and the Jewish states. have real consequences. In New York, Jews are threatened on the way to synagogue. Jews have been stabbed in the streets.

Jews are demonized; they’re targeted. Simply for being Jews. Jews have been murdered in Sydney, Manchester, Montreal, Boulder, Colorado.

They’ve been attacked in Los Angeles, London, Paris, Berlin, Washington, D.C. The anti-Semites of the world want to terrify people. I have news for them. The days when Jews were defenseless victims marched to the slaughter, those days are over.

Today, we have a state. Today we have an army. Today, I have a people ready and willing to defend ourselves.

So today… Today, I have one message for Jews around the world. Raise your head high.

Be proud, be confident. Don’t be intimidated. Stand up, and for everyone else, everyone else, who wants to defend truth and justice, join us in standing up to the barbarians who threaten our common civilization.

But… I have to be candid with you. Not everyone is standing up.

We saw that. Because, unlike Israel, there are some, and most recently, especially in Western Europe, who have chosen not to stand up. The leaders of these countries have chosen to succumb to the anti-Semitic mobs.

They’ve chosen weakness. They’ve chosen appeasement. We cannot evade… the sad truth before us.

Many in the free world are afraid to defend freedom. And I asked them, What will this future be? What will this behavior? What will the world hold for you?

The brotherhood of democracies, or the Muslim Brotherhood? How long will it take for you to see that these fanatic geniuses are choking your waterways, your energy supply, your economic lifeline?

I can assure you, ladies and gentlemen, we in Israel do not wait for others to wake up from their moral slumber. We forge ahead. We seize the future.

We pioneer incredible developments in health, agriculture, artificial intelligence, and superior intelligence. And we bring these amazing innovations to all of humanity. So Israel has never been stronger.

We are not afraid. But I’ll tell you who is afraid: the tyrants of Tehran, that’s who. And you know what they’re most afraid of?

Their own people. The brave Iranian people who have sacrificed so much for so long. The Iranian regime is especially afraid of whether people have this. When their people have this.

This is a communications device. Starling, that allows people to access truth, to exercise, choice, to exercise freedom of thought, and freedom of speech. That’s why the Iranian regime spills, rather than saves, millions and billions of dollars. centring the internet.

Mr. President. I’m going to leave this device with you so you can give it to the Iranian delegation. So when they inevitably defect, they, too, will be able to freely tell their story on social media.

To the protesters outside, to the hypocritical delegates who left us all, I ask, where were you when the Iranian tyrants butchered and maimed tens of thousands of unarmed Iranian civilians? When they butchered and maimed thousands of their own people, where were you… Did you organize mass rallies?

Hunger strikes? Did you protest outside the Iranian mission to the UN? Did you speak out, for that matter?

For Christians persecuted in Iran and throughout the Middle East? No. No, you didn’t do that, because you’re phony. Human rights protesters.

I’m Christian; you know that their numbers are plummeting everywhere in the Middle East, where they’re being persecuted, except one place, my country, Israel, where the Christian community is growing, thriving, succeeding. In fact, you didn’t protest when we left Bethlehem and was controlled by us, it was 80 to 90% Christian, and we gave it to the Palestinian authority, and today, it’s 80 to 90% Muslim. Everyone, the Christians, were shoved out.

Did you protest that? Did you speak about that? Nothing.

Nothing, not them. And you said nothing about Iran, just now. You said nothing about Iran.

But I want to give you the good news. Despite your silence, despite your hypocrisy, it’s only a matter of time. That if Iran, something incredible will happen. The power of the people will overcome the people in power.

I want you to listen to my words carefully. One day, and it may not be far away, the Iranian people will be free. Their murderous regime will be toppled by its lies, by its corruption, by its cruelty.

This evil regime will fall, and we will all celebrate that day. Ladies and gentlemen, the story of my people, the Jewish people, goes back over 3,000 years. We speak the same language; we speak the same language today that we spoke then.

We live in the same land in which our ancestors lived then. David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah. That’s our land, the land of Israel.

Our prophets, our purpose, and our people are unique in history. Our values have inspired humanity for millennia. The belief in one God, the sanctity of life, the rule of law, our eternal quest for peace, our eternal quest for justice.

It is these sacred values that propelled us throughout the ages. It is these values that helped us beat the odds of history. The great American writer, Mark Wayne, said it best 125 years ago.

He said it well before the rebirth of the modern Jewish state, well before the great victories of Israel’s soldiers. Here’s what he said. The Jew has made a marvel; the Jew has made a marvelous fight in this world.

In all the ages, and he has done it with his hands tied behind his back. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream stuff, and passed away. Other peoples have sprung up, and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight.

The Jews saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his spirits, no slowing of his energies. Ladies and gentlemen, over the centuries, the tyrannies that try to destroy us failed time and again. And God willing, they’ll continue to fail.

If we muster our courage, if we steal our resolve, we will continue to win. As the Bible says, the eternity of Israel will not falter, and the reason is simple. We have no other choice.

Thank you, all. Thank you.”
