Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu yesterday addressed the UN General Assembly, slamming the Gaza probe and those who did not walk out on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during his speech on Wednesday (amongst others). You can read the speech here . Or, see it for yourself.. Updates (Israel time; most recent at top) 3:16PM: Iran has just revealed it has a second uranium enrichment plant under construction which will produce nuclear fuel only for the purpose of making electricity. Which begs the question: if this is truly for peaceful purposes, why did Iran previously say it was operating only one plant? 2:02PM : Introducing our latest weapon: Zionist Radiation Mercenaries of Death . TM It’s been 89 days since Manuel Zelaya was booted from power. He’s sleeping on chairs, and he claims his throat is sore from toxic gases and “Israeli mercenaries” are torturing him with high-frequency radiation. “We are being threatened with death,” he said in an interview with The Miami Herald, adding that mercenaries were likely to storm the embassy where he has been holed up since Monday and assassinate him. “I prefer to march on my feet than to live on my knees before a military dictatorship,” Zelaya said in a series of back-to-back interviews.

Using some kind of apparatus?” Cerrato said. “No, no, no, no. Sincerely: no. The only elements surrounding that embassy are police and military, and they have no such apparatus.” Alternatively, the man the Obama administration has been trying hard to restore to power in Honduras is plain bonkers. 9:58AM : Observations on Bibi’s UN speech: I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: the man can speak Good move stating unequivocally our historical connection to the land of Israel (in direct contrast to Obama’s Cairo speech in which the US President implied the Jews right to Israel arose from the Holocaust) When he ripped those who stayed during Ahmadinejad’s speech and the UN (including the UNHRC), I experienced the same rush as I did when the humans defeated the aliens in Independence Day . Nice 1-2 with the transition from Islamic fundamentalism and barbarism to Israel’s scientific accomplishments. Mentioning the painful disengagement from Gaza and the resultant Iranian -backed terror was another master stroke, as was mention of the Arab refusal to accept the 1947 partition plan Spread the Word:
