Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, said at the United Nations General Assembly: “The tyrants of Tehran; do you know what they fear more than anything? Their own people—the brave people of Iran who, for a long time, have made many sacrifices.”

Netanyahu added: “I ask the protesters outside and the hypocritical representatives who left this hall: where were you when Iran’s tyrants killed and injured tens of thousands of unarmed Iranian civilians? When they killed and injured thousands of their own people, where were you?

Did you hold large rallies? Did you go on a hunger strike? Did you protest in front of Iran’s representation at the United Nations? Did you speak up in defense of Christians who are being harassed in Iran and across the Middle East? No. You didn’t, because you are fake human-rights protesters.”
