What’s more, Biden-appointed United States Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, did not even attend the speech. In her place were a few third string diplomats from her office.

NY Post Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the United Nations General Assembly as a “swamp of antisemitic bile” that is “willing to demonize the Jewish state for anything.”during a fiery address Friday morning — as dozens of diplomats walked out in protest ahead of the speech.

Netanyahu, 74, appeared at the annual UN gathering in New York shortly before the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel and the subsequent Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. The prime minister used his time at the podium to slam the mountain of international criticism of Israel’s offensive in Gaza.

He also called the organization an “anti-Israel flat-earth society.” The Likud party leader slammed the International Criminal Court’s allegations that Israel has deliberately targeted civilians in Gaza as the product of “profound moral confusion.”

He also had harsh words for the thousands of anti-Israel protesters who mobilized across the world over the past 11 months — including at tent encampments on university campuses throughout the US. “We see yet another profound moral confusion when self-described progressives march against the democracy of Israel,” he said.

“Don’t they realize they support the Iranian-backed goons in Tehran and in Gaza, the goons who shot down protesters, murder women for not covering their hair and hang gays in public squares? Some progressives.” 

Netanyahu referenced his speech at the General Assembly last year, in which he outlined the difference between the “blessing” of reconciliation between Israel and Iran and the “curse of Iran’s unremitting aggression.” He called out the Iranian government for backing terror groups, including Hamas, and mentioned how Tehran directly attacked Israel for the first time in April this year.

“I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran: If you strike us, we will strike you,” Netanyahu warned. “There is no place — there is no place in Iran — that the long arm of Israel cannot reach. And that’s true of the entire Middle East.”
