United Nations General Assembly

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel called Hamas and the group known as the Islamic State “branches of the same poisonous tree,” and Iran, he said, is the most dangerous country in the world.

“When it comes to their ultimate goals Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas,” Mr. Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly, using an alternate name for Islamic State.

In making his annual address, Mr. Netanyahu returned to a familiar theme that has been a hallmark of his tenure, that Iran’s nuclear program is the greatest threat to the security of Israel and the world. But he also sought to capitalize on the West’s abhorrence with the Islamic State, maintaining that militant Islamists are all dangerous regardless of their affiliation.

“Iran’s nuclear weapons capability must be fully dismantled,” he said.

His comments come as the United States and allies are bombing Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria, while also hurtling toward the tail end of negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program. Iran is eager to get sanctions lifted. Europe and the United States want to check Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapons program.

1. Yup....steal Palestinian land and then

32. Netenyahu Is Evil

He is a bloodthirsty criminal. What fall to assume we are stupid enough to think Sunni ISIS is same as Shia Iran. His game is divide everyone and let them swarm each other.

[cascadiance]

4. I guess ISIS is trying to get him over there to cut off his hand?

So that we no longer have the "Bacon six degree handshakes" from happening any more!

[cascadiance]

3. Funny how he thinks that Shia-based Iran directs Sunni-based ISIS...

to take down Shia-based leadership in Iraq.

One more big reason why the U.S. should stay the hell out and stop any arms going in to that area... Need to stop fueling the killing fields over there, whether it be by ISIS, Iran, or Netanyahu's thugs!

27. I know, he must be speaking to a dumbed down audience. n/t

5. Aw Geez..

I know Netanyahu understands that the policy needs of Israel & United States are not always identical. He does not always have to stick his thumb in our eye publically so often.

[sulphurdunn]

10. He knows his comparisons are bullshit.

He also knows the average Israel will dance in the street to any tune he plays.

6. Well, I'm just shocked I tell you. Shocked.

[albino65]

7. Aren't all of them, including Israelis, semites

and hence from the same poisonous tree. His words-not mine.

[King_David]

22. Not sure I understand what you saying

Please elaborate

[albino65]

24. What I am saying is

that if Bibi wants to evoke a tree of life metaphor, he needs to understand that Israelis are from that same tree that he so joyfully calls the poisonous tree. Ethnic cleansing is an anathema to civilized people regardless of who advocates it.

[King_David]

25. And the Semites ? What does that have to do with anything?

[albino65]

26. The common usage of the word Semite

refers to any of the people who inhabit the middle east.

8. How many countries is Iran currently bombing and droning?

[sulphurdunn]

11. The last time Iran

started a war was against Russia in 1826.

[Gore1FL]

9. “branches of the same poisonous tree,”

If he's going to go there, he needs to admit the "same poisonous tree" has branches for all of the Abrahamic religions.

[Xolodno]

12. Did...

...anyone in the General Assembly at the UN keep a straight face?

[Lobo27]

13. And all this time I thought Isis had Wahabi origins....

[procon]

14. Maybe if he sang a duet with

John McCain and belted out the chorus -- "Bomb, bomb Iran" -- with a heavy assist from Auto-Tune, he might be a little less obvious.

[Comrade Grumpy]

15. Shameless huckster. And war criminal. n/t

[SoapBox]

16. This guy is crazy.

...no cred.

[Jack Rabbit]

17. We should listen to Bibi the Butcher lecture the world on terrorism why?

This man has no right to lecture anyone, not even "Capliph" Baghdadi, on the evils of terrorism.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. Gee, aren'tcha glad these clowns don't have anything to do with our foreign policy?

[Wellstone ruled]

19. Bibi will always trumpet

the Neo Con horn. Nothing new with this turd,wonder how his Massachusetts hedge fund is doing. What a fake.

[LoisB]

20. I am waiting for the Evangelical Christian vs. Zionist fight.

[countryjake]

21. They are clearly getting desperate...

thanks for the laugh, Purveyor!

[Hubert Flottz]

23. Netanyahu is Isreal's Dick Cheney.

A total Warmonger.

[KoKo]

28. Neocons Plan...After Syria then Iran. It's all going well with some Glitches

but, now that Obama is Captured...it should speed along nicely.

And, after Syria and Iran then Putin's toppling in Russia is next. The Neocon Oligarch they install will do their bidding and we will Own it all ....except China. We will be working on that....but, it's tricky because they make almost everything we buy and Poppy Bush and rest of that family really are in "tight" with China from Nixon through Poppy and Son to Jeb and the rest. But, perhaps they feel they can join Russian Oligarchs with Chinese Oligarch's and do a deal with us as a Block Group in the UN. Not sure how the EuroZone and South America would feel about that....but, then...what do the PTB care about how "People Feel" about Economic Policy?

Yeah...I know...it's just tinfoilhat conspiracy theory. I should be ashamed of myself for posting this drivel. 's But, it can't get much crazier that what we are currently dealing with can it? Lied into two wars by both Republican and Democratic Administrations when we thought we elected a President to end it all. Instead he puts us into another War (Endless we are told by his Military Brass) when he only has two more years to serve and will leave it to the next guy or gal to sort it out.

29. The neocon's endgame

all the little pieces are coming together

30. Really ?????

31. "Folks we got trouble, right hear in Jerusalem city, it starts with I, which comes after H and....

that stands for Hamas." Just another con from the con-man Netanyahu is.
