They burned babies alive in front of their parents. They beheaded our men. They brutally raped our women. And then they murdered them. Altogether, they slaughtered 1,200 Israelis that day. I want to give you an idea of what this means for a country of 10 million. Proportionately, this is equal to 40,000 innocent Americans slaughtered in less than 24 hours.<!-- --> That&#8217;s 16 times 9\/11. 16 9\/11s that occurred not very far from here. On that darkest of days, our enemies expected us to collapse. Well, we didn&#8217;t collapse. Instead, we rose and fought like lions.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Netanyahu&#8217;s remarks came after days of speeches from world leaders condemning Israel\u2019s war in Gaza and accusing his government of genocide against Palestinians. He rejected the allegations, calling Israeli genocide claims \u201cthe biggest lie of the century\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>His appearance was marked by a mass walkout, with scores of delegates leaving the chamber as he approached the rostrum. Netanyahu responded by calling those who left \u201cmoral cowards\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>\u201cIn defending itself, Israel is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cIn fact, I want you to know that many of their leaders even thank us privately for taking out Iran\u2019s nukes.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>He also defended Israel\u2019s decision to attack Iran, saying it was \u201cone of the easiest decisions I\u2019ve ever had to make\u201d, and thanked US President Donald Trump for his actions against Tehran.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Netanyahu&#8217;s speech also addressed violence by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, which he described as involving a \u201chandful of young juvenile delinquents\u201d. He said, \u201cI can\u2019t stand that. I won\u2019t stand for vigilantism,\u201d while accusing foreign leaders and international media of exaggerating the scale of the violence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>His address came as Israel faced growing international criticism over its conduct of the Gaza war. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 73,922 Palestinians have been killed in Israel\u2019s subsequent offensive, while Israel maintains control over large parts of the territory and continues military operations.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
