Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the UN today for about 30 minutes to a mostly empty audience and near the end he said "but for the Palestinians this United Nations is a house of darkness, is home court. They know that in this swamp of antisemitic bile there's an automatic majority willing to demonize the Jewish State on anything in this anti-Israel Flat Earth Society."
"In 2014 this body condemned Israel 174 times. It condemned all the other countries in the world 73 times. That's more than 100 extra condemnations for the Jewish State. What hypocrisy, what a double standard, what a joke the UN is still!" [Applause].
He spoke a few more minutes and THEN he went to his hotel to issue the order to take out Hezbollah HQ in Beirut. Kaboom!! Stunning.
The 2nd massive air strike on Beirut that came later exploded with constant continuous booms for over 3 hours starting around 3AM local time. You could see secondary explosions followed by rockets blasting off all over the city. Whole city blocks were flattened. It was Israel's version of shock 'n awe. It's daylight now and the plumes of smoke are still visible over Beirut.
