“For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.” ~ Isaiah 62:1
Lea Speyer, Breaking Israel News (BIN) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the annual gathering of world leaders at the UN General Assembly on Monday, warning the international community of the growing threat of militant Islam.The prime minister jumped right in to tackling the issue of the increasing visibility and violence wrought by Islamist terrorists across the globe.
“Our hopes and the world’s hope for peace are in danger. Because everywhere we look, militant Islam is on the march,” Netanyahu said. “It’s not militants. It’s not Islam. It’s militant Islam.”
Netanyahu made clear that all people, regardless of race or religion, were threatened by Islamist terrorists. “Typically, its first victims are other Muslims, but it spares no one. Christians, Jews, Yazidis, Kurds – no creed, no faith, no ethnic group is beyond its sights. And it’s rapidly spreading in every part of the world,” he explained.
The prime minister reiterated that the “ultimate goal” of militant Islamists is to “dominate the world.” Likening the growth and strength of militant Islamists to cancer, Netanyahu warned, “left unchecked, the cancer grown, metastasizing over wider and wider areas. To protect the peace and security of the world, we must remove this cancer before it’s too late.”
Netanyahu singled out ISIS and Hamas, two terror organizations, who have proclaimed time and again that they “seek to impose” a caliphate run by Sharia law on the entire world. “So when it comes to their ultimate goals, Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas,” he said.From Boko Haram in Nigeria to al-Qaeda across Malaysia and the Middle East, Netanyahu explained that all Islamist terror groups “all share a fanatic ideology.”
“They all seek to create ever-expanding enclaves of militant Islam where there is no freedom and no tolerance – where women are treated as chattel, Christians are decimated, and minorities are subjugated, sometimes given the stark choice: convert or die. For them, anyone can be an infidel, including fellow Muslims,” he said.
On Iran, Netanyahu warned that the Islamic Republic is the one place where “militant Islam will have the power to realize its unbridled ambitions.” The prime minister called out Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, who Netanyahu said “shed crocodile tears over what he called ‘the globalization of terrorism’.”
Iran is a well-known sponsor of “global terror.” Recently, Iranian military leaders boasted of how they provided most of the weapons used by Hamas against Israel during the recent 50-day conflict against terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
“Maybe he should spare us those phony tears and have a word instead with the commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. He could ask them to call off Iran’s global terror campaign, which has included attacks in two dozen countries on five continents since 2011 alone,” Netanyahu stated.
The prime minister urged world leaders to impose heavier sanctions on the Islamic Republic and “fully dismantle” its nuclear program. He warned that should Iran possess the ability to produce nuclear weapons, there is no doubt that the weapons would end up in the hands of ISIS.
Netanyahu rightfully defended Israel’s actions during Operation Protective Edge, where “Hamas fired thousands of rockets at Israel, many of them supplied by Iran.” He highlighted Hamas’s use of Palestinian civilians as human shields, as well as the use of “UN schools, private homes, mosques, even hospitals to store and fire rockets at Israel.”
The prime minister slammed Israel’s critics who “fueled libelous charges that Israel was deliberately targeting civilians.”
“We deeply regret every single civilian casualty…No other country and no other army in history have gone through greater lengths to avoid civilian casualties among the civilian population of their enemies,” Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu applauded the “brave soldiers of the IDF” who “deserve not condemnation, but admiration. Admiration from decent people everywhere.”
However, the highlight of Netanyahu’s speech came when the prime minister called out the UN Human Rights Council for its hypocritical treatment of Israel right at the UN itself.
“By investigating Israel rather than Hamas for war crimes, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has betrayed its noble mission to protect the innocent. In fact, what it’s doing is to turn the laws of war upside-down. Israel, which took unprecedented steps to minimize civilian casualties, Israel is condemned. Hamas, which both targeted and hid behind civilians – that a double war crime – Hamas is given a pass.”
“The Human Rights Council is thus sending a clear message to terrorists everywhere: Use civilians as human shields. Use them again and again and again. You know why? Because sadly, it works,” Netanyahu stated. “By granting international legitimacy to the use of human shields, the UN’s Human Rights Council has thus become a Terrorist Rights Council, and it will have repercussions.”
Netanyahu questioned why “nearly half” of the UNHRC’s resolutions “have been directed against Israel, the one true democracy in the Middle East – Israel. Where issues are openly debated…where human rights are protected…and minorities live in a genuinely free society.”
With no shame, Netanyahu said, “The Human Rights…that’s an oxymoron, the UN Human Rights Council, but I’ll use it just the same, the Council’s biased treatment of Israel is only one manifestation of the return of the world’s oldest prejudices…It’s called anti-Semitism.”
“For centuries the Jewish people have been demonized with blood libels and charges of deicide. Today, the Jewish state is demonized with the apartheid libel and charges of genocide,” Netanyahu said, referring to a speech given by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas at the UN General Assembly.
Highlighting the irony of an organization that allows “a man who wrote a dissertation of lies about the Holocaust, and who insists on a Palestinian free of Jews, Judenrein,” Netanyahu questioned why Abbas would be allowed to “stand at this podium and shamelessly accuse Israel of genocide and ethnic cleansing.”
As the threat of anti-Semitism rears its ugly head among “polite society,” Netanyahu vowed that the Jewish people would “defend ourselves against our enemies” and “will expose their lies against us in the court of public opinion.”
“Israel will continue to stand proud and unbowed,” he added.
Closing off his speech and driving his point home, the prime minister echoed the ancient Biblical words of the prophet Isaiah, who “taught us nearly 3,000 years ago in Jerusalem to speak truth to power:”
“For the sake of Zion, I will not be silent. For the sake of Jerusalem, I will not be still. Until her justice shines bright, and her salvation glows like a flaming torch.”
“Let’s light a torch of truth and justice to safeguard our common future,” said Netanyahu.

The God Of Abraham, Isaac, And Jacob Regarding Israel
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. ~ Genesis 12:3EXCLUSIVE: DR. BEN CARSON ON UNSECURE BORDER TERRORISM THREAT; PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRATIONS
TPNN Staff — TPNN’s Tim Constantine caught up with Dr. Ben Carson, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, at the Second Annual National Security Action Summit, organized by the Center for Security Policy, taking place in Washington, D.C., this week. “Is the greater danger in the United States from outside the borders, or do we have great danger from within as well?” Constantine asked Dr. Carson referring to the terrorist threat posed by radical Islamist groups like ISIS.
Dr. Carson’s answer is significant as an indication of his thoughts on both border security and the Islamic terrorism threat, important issues as voters begin to think about the 2016 presidential race.
“I think we have tremendous danger from both places,” Dr. Carson answered. “Recognizing that there are people who want to destroy our system who are infiltrating through our porous borders and through our lax policies. So I wouldn’t characterize which one is worse. I would say they’re both very, very serious,” he warned.
Tim then asks the famous now retired pediatric neurosurgeon and best-selling author of several books, including his most recent, One Nation: What we can all do to save America’s future, whether he’s made up his mind on running for the presidency in 2016.
Dr. Carson has performed well in several early conservative straw polls, including coming in second place to Senator Ted Cruz (25%-20%) in last weekend’s Values Voter Summit presidential straw poll.

“Obama...has failed in his duty to protect America...”
By Norvell Rose, Western Journalism —
The tire tracks from the bus Barack Obama drove over the U.S. intelligence community continue leading to trouble for a president seen as trying to save his own political skin. When Obama told “60 Minutes” on Sunday that the rapid rise and spread of ISIS could be blamed on intelligence failure, that set off a firestorm of angry reaction. Intelligence officials adamantly defend their expertise and actions, arguing that the blame is not theirs, but the Obama’s...Obama’s Pentagon To Destroy $1Billion In Ammunition

NTEB News Desk —and compromise their ability to complete the mission
The Pentagon plans to destroy more than $1 billion worth of ammunition although some of those bullets and missiles could still be used by troops, according to the Pentagon and congressional sources. It’s impossible to know what portion of the arsenal slated for destruction — valued at $1.2 billion by the Pentagon — remains viable because the Defense Department’s inventory systems can’t share data effectively, according to a GPO report....

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
Regarding The Last Days
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” ~ Matthew 24:3-14
