U.S. Distances Itself from Netanyahu's Comments-State Department distances itself from-Netanyahu's comments in UN speech regarding the similarities between Hamas and IS.By Ben Ariel-First Publish: 9/30/2014, 4:16 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
The U.S. State Department distanced itself on Monday from comments made by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly.Speaking to reporters, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki particularly referred to Netanyahu’s comparison between Hamas and the “Islamic State” (IS or ISIS), as well as to his criticism of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC).“We believe they’re both terrorist organizations,” she said, responding to a question regarding Netanyahu’s saying that Hamas and IS are one and the same.“We obviously believe that [IS] poses a different threat to the United States, based on, of course, the military action and other efforts that are underway,” added Psaki.“We don’t believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu or anyone else from Israel is suggesting that the United States launch a military campaign against Hamas, so we certainly – they are both designated terrorist organizations under the United States designations, but certainly we see differences -- in terms of the threat and otherwise,” she said.Psaki also distanced herself from Netanyahu’s comment that the UNHRC “has become a Terrorists' Human Rights Council", though she acknowledged Washington had some issues with some of the UNHRC’s actions.“We would not agree with that,” she said, when asked if the U.S. agreed with Netanyahu’s statement that the UNHRC is a “terrorists’ commission”.“We have obviously voiced concerns when we have them about actions that are taken, but no, we would certainly not agree with that characterization,” added Psaki.“We don’t see the need for heated rhetoric. But obviously there are times when we certainly agree, and we’ve expressed concerns in the past as well about the same organization and how they operate,” she said.Speaking to reporters on Sunday just before takeoff on his way to New York, Netanyahu reiterated his pledge to "refute the lies" against Israel at the UN General Assembly, particularly in the speech by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who accused Israel of “genocide” and “war crimes”.His associates later said the speech would be "razor sharp" and "worth the wait."

Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, responded on Monday evening to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations, saying that the solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict should be based on the decisions of legitimate international institutions, on the Arab Peace Initiative and on the UN General Assembly resolution of November 29, 2012, in which “Palestine” was recognized as a non-member observer state at the UN.Abu Rudeineh added that the solution should lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state with its capital in eastern Jerusalem.He said Israel “must stop settlement construction immediately, lift the siege [on Gaza] and stop the actions of the extremists in the holy places.”In his speech, Netanyahu linked subjects such as Hamas, ISIS, Iran, anti-Semitism, and Israeli-Palestinian issues to the theme of global partnership and the war against global jihad (and, by extension, extremism).He said that "Hamas is ISIS, and ISIS is Hamas. And what they share is what all Islamism shares: [. . .] they all have the same ideology, they all seek to establish a global militant Islam - where there is no freedom.""To them, anyone can be considered an infidel, including fellow Muslims," declared Netanyahu.The speech also focused on refuting claims by Abbas in his UN speech last week, in which he accused Israel of “genocide” and “war crimes”."Hamas cynically used schools - UN schools! - and hospitals, and mosques to house civilians, as Israel surgically struck to eliminate terrorists," Netanyahu said."We were not [targeting civilians]," Netanyahu fired. "We regret every civilian casualty."He noted that the IDF took many measures to warn Palestinian civilians ahead of every strike."No other army in history has gone to greater lengths to prevent civilian casualties in the population of their enemies," he noted, to applause. "They upheld the highest moral values of any army in the world.""Israel's army deserves the admiration of decent people everywhere," he added, to applause.The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) denounced Netanyahu’s speech, accusing him of “blatantly manipulating” the facts when he compared Hamas with the Islamic State and Iran."Netanyahu's speech at the UN was a blatant manipulation of facts and attempted at misleading the audience through a combination of hate language, slander and argument of obfuscation," PLO executive member Hanan Ashrawi said.

While Knesset Members from the leftist side of the political map rejected Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly as having “missed the mark”, nationalist MKs welcomed Netanyahu’s comments on Monday.MK Ze'ev Elkin (Likud), chairman of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said, “I congratulate the Prime Minister on his appropriate response to the lies and slanders of [Palestinian Authority Chairman] Mahmoud Abbas, and am calling the Prime Minister and the Cabinet to move from words to actions!”“Mahmoud Abbas should know that continuing the war of slander and attacks against Israel in the international arena will involve a painful price that he and the PA leadership will have to pay. It is inconceivable that Abbas, who depends on us every step of the way for almost everything, will continue to enjoy our help while conducting a diplomatic war against us,” he added. Deputy Minister Ofir Akunis (Likud) said, “While Abbas used the UN podium to distribute the well-known Palestinian lies, Prime Minister Netanyahu revealed the most basic truth about the reality in the Middle East and delivered the truth.”Akunis continued, “It is good that the Prime Minister held up a mirror in front of the western world and emphasized the immediate dangers that Iran, Hamas and ISIS place before it. As always, the truth is stronger and more effective than false propaganda.”Deputy Transportation Minister Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) also welcomed the Prime Minister's speech at the UN and said, “This is a formal declaration on the part of Israel that talks with the Palestinians have ended. Promoting relations with the moderate Arab world will be done directly because of shared interests rather than on the building of another terrorist state on Israeli territory."MK Motti Yogev (Jewish Home) said that Netanyahu’s speech “reflected the reality in the Middle East. It was an answer to the Iranian speech of deception and the incitement speech of the Palestinian Authority”.“Netanyahu also correctly reflected on the relation between the radical Islamic terrorist organizations and the Iranian nuclear threat to Israel and the entire world,” said Yogev, who added that “the thoughts about an enemy Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria endanger the security of the State of Israel and belong in the garbage can of the tumultuous history of the Middle East.”Deputy Education Minister Avi Wortzman (Jewish Home) also welcomed Netanyahu’s speech and compared it with the speech by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who accused Israel of “genocide” and “war crimes”. “Abu Mazen continues to lie on every possible platform. The left continues to strive for an agreement with Arafat's successor, but we discover again and again that these are nothing but pipe dreams,” he said.“It's time to end the dialogue with the terrorist, Hamas’s partner, who goes around wearing a suit,” added Wortzman.
Netanyahu at UN: 'ISIS is Hamas, Hamas is ISIS'-In landmark speech, PM calls UNHRC 'an oxymoron' - and defends Israel as 'the most moral army in the world.'By Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 9/29/2014, 7:39 PM / Last Update: 9/29/2014, 8:09 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmrHIUJKF0g (Bens speech at un)
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Monday, in a bid to refute the smear campaign launched by Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas claiming Israel is guilty of "genocide." "Distinguished delegates, I come here from Jerusalem to speak on behalf of my people, the people of Israel," Netanyahu began. "I have come here to speak about the dangers we face [. . ] against the brazen lies about my country and about the people who defend it." The Prime Minister emphasized that Israel's fight against Hamas is a microcosm of the fight against global jihad."Ladies and gentlemen, the people of Israel pray for peace, but those hopes are in danger - because militant Islam is on the rise," he stated. "No one is spared - Christians, Jews, and Muslims."
"Their ultimate goal is to dominate the world."
"That threat may seem exaggerated to some, because it starts out small - like a cancer," he continued. "But cancer grows, covering a wider and wider area. To protect the security of the world, we must remove the scab, before it's too late."
Hamas = ISIS
Netanyahu then noted the hypocrisy of public opinion."Last week, many people in the world applauded US President Barack Obama for joining the fight against ISIS," he stated. "The same countries complained against Israel for fighting Hamas.""They don't understand that ISIS and Hamas are the branches of the same poisonous tree," he continued. "Hamas shares the same militant ambitions of global Islamists."Netanyahu compared ISIS and Hamas's charters, and noted that Hamas cheered when thousands died in the US during the September 11, 2001 attacks."Hamas is ISIS, and ISIS is Hamas," he declared. "And what they share is what all Islamism shares: [. . .] they all have the same ideology, they all seek to establish a global militant Islam - where there is no freedom.""To them, anyone can be considered an infidel, including fellow Muslims."Netanyahu then compared Hamas, ISIS, and Nazis."The Nazis believed in a master race; Islamists believe in a master faith," Netanyahu said. "The question before us is whether militant Islam will have the power to realize their unbridled ambition."
Hamas, ISIS, and Iran: same same, new name
Netanyahu then addressed the Iran issue, noting that the Islamic Revolution was based on the decree that the whole world will cry, 'There is no God but Allah in the entire world.' Today, the Revolutionary Guards aim to establish an "Islamic World Government," he notes.As for the opinion that Iran's views on this are only fueled by "extremists," Netanyahu dismissed it as "changing both the ideology and the content" of Iranian governance. He quoted lines from a book by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, whereby Rouhani says he has "problems with the West.""Don't be fooled by Iran's manipulative 'charm offensive,'" Netanyahu urged. "It's for one reason only: to remove sanctions, and to lift obstacles to the path of power." "This would essentially cement Iran's place as a threshold nuclear power," he continued, saying it would "pose the gravest threat to us all.""It's one thing to confront militant Islamists on the back of a pickup truck armed with rifles," he said. "It's another to confront militant Islamists with weapons of mass destruction." Netanyahu then compared the situation with ISIS to the situation with Syrian chemical weapons, whereby he noted that Syria was disarmed - but ISIS and Iran are not."Would you let ISIS build a water reactor? Would you let ISIS have access to nuclear weapons?" he asked. "Of course you wouldn't, and you should not let the Islamic State of Iran either." If so, he says, "the Ayatollah will show their true face and unleash their fanaticism to the entire world.""Iran's military capabilities must be fully dismantled," he declared, to general applause. "Make no mistake: ISIS must be defeated. But to defeat ISIS and leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power would be to win the battle and lose the war.""Ladies and gentleman, the fight against militant Islam is indivisible," he continued. "That's why Israel's fight against Hamas is not our fight: it's your fight. Our fight against Hamas today could be your fight tomorrow."
'Would you let terrorists fire rockets at your cities?'
Netanyahu then addressed Operation Protective Edge."You wouldn't let terrorists fire rockets at your cities with impunity," he said. "Nor would you let them dig terror tunnels or kidnap your citizens." "Yet Israel faced another challenge: a propaganda war.""Hamas cynically used schools - UN schools! - and hospitals, and mosques to house civilians, as Israel surgically struck to eliminate terrorists." "We were not [targeting civilians]," Netanyahu fired. "We regret every civilian casualty."Netanyahu noted that the IDF took many measures to warn Palestinian civilians ahead of every strike."No other army in history has gone to greater lengths to prevent civilian casualties in the population of their enemies," he noted, to applause. "They upheld the highest moral values of any army in the world." "Israel's army deserves the admiration of decent people everywhere," he added, to applause.
Redefining 'war crime' and 'human rights council'
Netanyahu also noted Hamas's executions of Fatah members and dissidents, as well as the terror group's deliberate use of children as human shields, using a France 24 photo as proof."This is a war crime," he said. "I say to Abbas: there are the war crimes committed by Hamas, under your leadership, under the unity government you head, and these are the war crimes you should have called to investigate last week.""The profound moral difference between Israel and Hamas couldn't have been clearer," he said. "Israel was using missiles to protect its children, Hamas was using children to protect its missiles.""The UNHRC has betrayed its noble principles to protect its enemies," he continued, noting it is "turning the concept of war upside down.""The UNHRC is sending a clear message to terrorists everywhere: use civilians as a human shield. Use them again, and again, and again. You know why? Because sadly, it works.""Thus, the UNHRC has become a Terrorists' Human Rights Council," Netanyahu declared, noting that it "may have already had consequences." Netanyahu slammed the UNHRC for dedicating over half of its resolutions against Israel, "where issues are openly debated in our boisterous parliament.""The UNHRC is an oxymoron, but I'll use it just the same," he said. "Its policies are an extension of the oldest prejudice in the world. It's a function of diseased minds: it's called anti-Semitism, which is spreading in polite society, which is being legitimized as a form of criticism against Israel.""Genocide? In what moral universe does a country attempt over and over again to get its enemies out of harm's way? To build field hospitals? To ship tons and tons of aid?""The same moral universe where the man who wrote a dissertation denying the Holocaust can stand on the podium and claim Israel commits genocide."
Israel: standing tall
"Today, Israel will defend itself against her enemies," Netanyahu continued. "Israel will try its enemies on the courts of public opinion. Israel will stand proud and unbowed." Applause followed. "Together, Israel and the world face many of the same dangers," he noted, including "militant Islam and a nuclear Iran." "Our job is to form a partnership over these issues," he said."I believe the partnership between us can also facilitate peace between Israel and the Palestinians," he added, noting that the "active involvement of Arab countries - those who are willing to provide political, material, and other support - could bring a compromise.""The people of Israel are not the occupiers in the land of Israel," Netanyahu said, citing "history, archaeology, and common sense.""I want peace because I believe it will bring a better future for my people," he said, calling for one which brings "rock-solid security arrangements on the ground.""As the Prime Minister of Israel, I am entrusted with the awesome of responsibility of protecting the Jewish people and the Jewish state," he said. "I will never waver on that responsibility."
Partnership for peace in the Middle East
"In Israel, we have a record of making the impossible, possible," Netanyahu said. "We have made the desert flourish. We have led the world in technological innovation."But in order for Israel to "reach its full potential," he said, "the template for peace must change.""There is a new Middle East. It has many dangers, but also many opportunities. We are working to work together with our global partners to face those dangers and seize those new opportunities.""All of this may fly in the face of conventional wisdom, but it is the truth," he said. "And the truth most be spoken - especially here, at the United Nations."
War of words
Speaking just before takeoff on his way to New York, Netanyahu reiterated his pledge to "refute the lies" against Israel at the UN General Assembly, particularly in the speech by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who accused Israel of “genocide” and “war crimes”."In my speech to the General Assembly, I will refute the lies that are being told about us and I will tell the truth about our state and the heroic soldiers of the IDF, the most moral army in the world," Netanyahu said on the tarmac at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv before boarding the plane.Netanyahu's response will reportedly be "razor sharp," according to close confidantes of the Prime Minister, who added that it will be "worth the wait."On Friday, Abbas made a pathos-laden speech to the UNGA, vowing to prosecute Israel for "war crimes" in International Criminal Court (ICC)."There is an occupation that must end now," he claimed. "There is a people that must be freed immediately. The hour of independence of the state of Palestine has arrived."He did not set a deadline for fast-tracking to what he claimed would be "Palestinian statehood," after aides suggested they were eyeing 2017 as a possible date.Describing Israel's defensive operation in Gaza as a "genocidal crime," Abbas pledged: "We will not forget and we will not forgive, and we will not allow war criminals to escape punishment."Abbas’s speech garnered strong reactions from the U.S. - which called the tirade "offensive" - and from Israeli MKs across the political spectrum.

"Together, Israel and the world face many of the same dangers," he noted, including "militant Islam and a nuclear Iran." "Our job is to form a partnership over these issues," he said."I believe the partnership between us can also facilitate peace between Israel and the Palestinians," he added, noting that the "active involvement of Arab countries - those who are willing to provide political, material, and other support - could bring a compromise.""The people of Israel are not the occupiers in the land of Israel," Netanyahu said, citing "history, archaeology, and common sense.""I want peace because I believe it will bring a better future for my people," he said, calling for one which brings "rock-solid security arrangements on the ground.""As the Prime Minister of Israel, I am entrusted with the awesome of responsibility of protecting the Jewish people and the Jewish state," he said. "I will never waver on that responsibility."
Partnership for peace in the Middle East
"In Israel, we have a record of making the impossible, possible," Netanyahu said. "We have made the desert flourish. We have led the world in technological innovation."But in order for Israel to "reach its full potential," he said, "the template for peace must change.""There is a new Middle East. It has many dangers, but also many opportunities. We are working to work together with our global partners to face those dangers and seize those new opportunities.""All of this may fly in the face of conventional wisdom, but it is the truth," he said. "And the truth most be spoken - especially here, at the United Nations."
War of words
Speaking just before takeoff on his way to New York, Netanyahu reiterated his pledge to "refute the lies" against Israel at the UN General Assembly, particularly in the speech by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who accused Israel of “genocide” and “war crimes”."In my speech to the General Assembly, I will refute the lies that are being told about us and I will tell the truth about our state and the heroic soldiers of the IDF, the most moral army in the world," Netanyahu said on the tarmac at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv before boarding the plane.Netanyahu's response will reportedly be "razor sharp," according to close confidantes of the Prime Minister, who added that it will be "worth the wait."On Friday, Abbas made a pathos-laden speech to the UNGA, vowing to prosecute Israel for "war crimes" in International Criminal Court (ICC)."There is an occupation that must end now," he claimed. "There is a people that must be freed immediately. The hour of independence of the state of Palestine has arrived."He did not set a deadline for fast-tracking to what he claimed would be "Palestinian statehood," after aides suggested they were eyeing 2017 as a possible date.Describing Israel's defensive operation in Gaza as a "genocidal crime," Abbas pledged: "We will not forget and we will not forgive, and we will not allow war criminals to escape punishment."Abbas’s speech garnered strong reactions from the U.S. - which called the tirade "offensive" - and from Israeli MKs across the political spectrum.
