Posing a rhetorical question, Netanyahu asked "how does the world react to the calls for genocide against the Jews today?"
"Seventy years after the shoa, Iran is calling for us to be wiped off the map, Hezbollah is calling for our extinction, as are many in Hamas... The Jerusalem Mufti [Sheikh Muhammad Hussein] called on Sunday for Jews to be killed wherever they are...echoing his predecessor Haj Amin Al Husseini, who actively helped Hitler and Eichman," he said.
"I do not hear the international community condemning this. I hear them condemning buildings in the West Bank. But I don't hear them condemning this incitement," said Netanyahu.
Netanyahu stated that one of the primary roles of the United Nations is to prevent genocide, singling out China, India, and South Korea as countries that must strongly support robust sanctions against Tehran. "The Iranian regime is calling for and working towards wiping Israel off the map. Its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas have fired over 12,000 rockets against us," he said. "Both we, as well as the international community, must internalize the lessons of the Holocaust, and must work actively against this threat."
Speaking immediately after Netanyahu, opposition leader Tzipi Livni (Kadima) said that Israel is proud of the Holocaust survivors.

It does not surprise me. It appears that the whole world will always be indebted to Israel. What about other nations that suffered genocides?
Those who object to Israel's policies are always called Anti-Semites. - 4 months ago

MotherForTruth:
Well to be fair, Netanyahu did mention genocides in Sudan and elsewhere but strangely, Israel's inhumane attacks killing thousands on Lebanon in 2006 and on Gaza in 2008-2009 were not mentioned for some reason.
Yeah but we're all supposed to be antisemites for bringing those things up. Okay fine, I'll accept that charge.
