24 Sep 2009 Netanyahu Asks World: “Is This a Lie?”
Netanyahu delivered a terrific speech before the U.N.
He asked the nations that didn’t boycott the Iranian dictator’s speech, or who didn’t walk out during it when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched into an anti-semitic tirade, “…but to those who gave this holocaust denier a hearing… Have you no shame? Have you no decency?”
The U.S., fortunately, was one of a little over a dozen that did the right thing. Canada was the best. It didn’t wait to hear what was said and boycotted from the outset.
