Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly this past week. I believe his message was one of the boldest and most effective I have ever heard. Our message this week will highlight portions of his speech but will not be exact quotations. Please make an attempt to listen to the entire speech, you will be blessed.
Netanyahu's message focused on the extreme Anti-Israel bias represented by the majority of the U.N. members whom he was addressing. Iran, a U.N. member, has threatened to destroy Israel for many years and is involved in supplying weapons to the terror groups ISIS, Hamas and Hezbollah. Yet, there is very little action taken or words spoken against Iran by U.N. member nations.
The most effective and boldest part of the message was when Netanyahu illustrated the almost total silence concerning the barbaric dictatorial leadership in Syria that has resulted in the Assad government killing 250,000 of their own citizens. As this was taking place, there were forty anti-Israel resolutions and only one anti-Syria resolution by the U.N. In effect, there has been almost total silence by U.N. members concerning the Syrian and Iranian leaders and their actions. To stress his point, Netanyahu spent 44 seconds in complete silence while staring at the inactive and non-speaking U.N. members.
Netanyahu continued by explaining Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and welcomes people of all faiths even in their government and military. Israel is always one of the first to respond to disasters around the world and even treats Palestinians and Syrians in their hospitals. Yet, the extreme anti-Israel bias continues in the U.N. The Israeli Prime Minister went on to say Israel will do all that is necessary to defend their state and its people.
Israel's leaders need our daily prayers to uphold them before our Lord God!
"But now, thus says The Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel; Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the waters, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am The Lord God, The Holy One Of Israel,
Your Savior." Isaiah 43:1-3
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Each Day,
Frank
