Netanyahu Promises Tough Response To Ahmadinejad

Bibi won’t take this one sitting down.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu has promised a tough response at the United Nations to the latest verbal attacks on Israeli by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and said he was determined to stop Iran developing nuclear weapons.

Before heading to New York to address the annual U.N. General Assembly, Bibi issued an open letter to Israelis marking the end of Yom Kippur.

“On the question of Iran, we are all united in the goal of preventing Iran from achieving nuclear weaponry. On the day on which we pray to be inscribed in the Book of Life, a stage was given to the tyrannical regime of Iran which seeks at every opportunity to sentence us to death,” Netanyahu said. “On Yom Kippur eve, sacred to the Jewish people, the Iranian tyrant chose to call publicly before all of the world for us to vanish. This is a black day for those who chose to remain in the auditorium and hear these hateful words. In statements I will make before representatives of the nations at the U.N. General Assembly, they will hear our response. As prime minister of Israel, the state of the Jewish people, I am working in every way in order that Iran does not have nuclear weaponry. History proves that those who wanted to wipe us off the map failed in that objective, while the Jewish people overcame all obstacles.”

Jews believe that between Rosh Hashana (the Jewish new year) and Yom Kippur, God decides who will be inscribed in the Book of Life, meaning who will not die in the coming year.

Ahmadinejad, on Wednesday told the Assembly that Iran was under a “continued threat by the uncivilized Zionists to resort to military action against our great nation.”
