Allegations of Israeli genocide in Gaza are not only false but “the biggest lie of the century" — so says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He told that to world leaders in a defiant speech that asserted his nation’s right to wage war against Iran. It was not heard by scores of delegates who trooped out before he started speaking. His voice rising in emphasis, Netanyahu said attacking Iran “was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever had to make." He denounced as “moral cowards” the mass of delegates who walked out of the U.N. General Assembly when he took the podium to speak.
