Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest appearance at the United Nations was marked by two things: defiance and emptiness. He railed against countries recognizing Palestine, dismissing them as legitimizing “terror.” But the truth is far more damning. Netanyahu claims to be fighting terrorism while presiding over what many rightly call the mother of all terror campaigns — the slaughter and starvation of an entire population, overwhelmingly children.
The symbolism was stark. His words echoed through a mostly empty hall, reflecting the deepening isolation of Israel on the world stage. No amount of rhetoric can disguise the devastation in Gaza and Lebanon, where civilians have borne the brunt of Israel’s actions. Instead of hanging his head in shame, Netanyahu doubles down, falsely portraying atrocity as self-defense.It is shameful that the United States continues to shield him from accountability. Washington’s uncritical support makes us complicit in crimes that the world increasingly condemns. If America wants to stand on the side of justice and human rights, it must break with Netanyahu’s destructive path.
