1
I stood at this podium for the first time.
2
I spoke that day against a resolution sponsored by Iran to expel Israel from the United Nations.
3
Then as now, the UN was obsessively hostile towards Israel,
4
the one true democracy in the Middle East.
5
Then as now, some sought to deny the one and only Jewish state a place among the nations.
6
I ended that first speech by saying, Gentlemen, check your fanaticism at the door.
7
More than three decades later, as the Prime Minister of Israel,
8
I am again privileged to speak from this podium.
9
And for me, that privilege has always come with a moral responsibility to speak the truth.
10
So after three days of listening to world leaders praise the nuclear deal with Iran,
11
I begin my speech today by saying, ladies and gentlemen, check your enthusiasm at the door.
12
You see, this deal doesn't make peace more likely.
13
by fueling Iran's aggressions with billions of dollars in sanctions relief, it makes war more likely.
14
Just look at what Iran has done in the last six months alone since the framework agreement was announced in Lausanne.
15
Iran boosted its supply of devastating weapons to Syria.
16
Iran sent more soldiers of its Revolutionary Guard into Syria.
17
Iran sent thousands of Afghani and Pakistani Shiite fighters to Syria.
18
Iran did all this to prop up Assad's brutal regime.
19
Iran also shipped tons of weapons and ammunition to the Houthi rebels in Yemen, including another shipment just two days ago.
20
Iran threatened to topple Jordan.
21
Iran's proxy Hezbollah smuggled into Lebanon SA -22 missiles to down our planes and Yakunt cruise missiles to sink our ships.
22
Iran supplied Hezbollah with precision -guided surface -to -surface missiles and attack drones so it can accurately hit any target in Israel.
23
Iran aided Hamas and Islamic Jihad in building armed drones in Gaza.
24
Iran also made clear its plans to open two new terror fronts against Israel,
25
promising to arm Palestinians in the West Bank and sending its Revolutionary Guard generals to the Golan Heights,
26
from which its operatives recently fired rockets on northern Israel.
27
Israel will continue to respond forcefully to any attacks against it from Syria.
28
Israel will continue to act to prevent the transfer of strategic weapons to Hezbollah from and through Syrian territory.
29
Every few weeks, Iran and Hezbollah set up new terror cells in cities throughout the world.
30
Three such cells were recently uncovered in Kuwait, Jordan and Cyprus.
31
In May, security forces in Cyprus raided a Hezbollah agent's apartment in the city of Larnaca.
32
There they found five tons of ammonium nitrate.
33
That's roughly the same amount of ammonium nitrate that was used to blow up the federal building in Oklahoma City.
34
And that's just in one apartment, in one city, in one country.
35
But Iran is setting up dozens of terrorist cells like this around the world.
36
Ladies and gentlemen, they're setting up those terror cells in this hemisphere too.
37
I repeat, Iran's been doing all of this, everything that I've just described,
38
just in the last six months, when it was trying to convince the world to remove the sanctions.
39
Now just imagine what Iran will do after those sanctions are lifted.
40
Unleashed and unmuzzled, Iran will go on the prowl, devouring more and more prey.
41
In the wake of the nuclear deal, Iran is spending billions of dollars on weapons and satellites.
42
You think Iran is doing that to advance peace?
43
You think hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief and fat contracts will turn this rapacious tiger into a kitten?
44
If you do, you should think again.
45
In 2013, President Rouhani began his so -called charm offensive here at the UN.
46
Two years later, Iran is executing more political prisoners,
47
escalating its regional aggression, and rapidly expanding its global terror network.
48
You know, they say actions speak louder than words.
49
But in Iran's case, the words speak as loud as the actions.
50
Just listen to the Deputy Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Quds Force.
51
Here's what he said in February, quote, The Islamic Revolution is not limited by geographic borders.
52
He boasted that Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Yemen are among the countries being, quote,
53
And for those of you who believe that the deal in Vienna will bring a change in Iran's policy,
54
just listen to what Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said five days after the nuclear deal was reached.
55
So, our policies towards the arrogant government of the United States will not change.
56
The United States, he vowed, will continue to be Iran's enemy.
57
While giving the mullahs more money is likely to fuel more repression inside Iran,
58
it will definitely fuel more aggression outside Iran.
59
As the leader of a country defending itself every day against Iran's growing aggression,
60
I wish I could take comfort in the claim that this deal blocks Iran's path to nuclear weapons. But I can't. Because it doesn't.
61
This deal does place several constraints on Iran's nuclear program,
62
and rightly so, because the international community recognizes that Iran is so dangerous.
63
But you see, here's the catch.
64
Under this deal, if Iran doesn't change its behavior – in fact,
65
if it becomes even more dangerous in the years to come
66
– the most important constraints will still be automatically lifted by year 10 and by year 15.
67
That would place a militant Islamic terror regime weeks away from having the fissile material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs.
68
That just doesn't make any sense.
69
I've said that if Iran wants to be treated like a normal country, let it act like a normal country.
70
But this deal will treat Iran like a normal country,
71
even if it remains a dark theocracy that conquers its neighbors,
72
sponsors terrorism worldwide, and chants death to Israel, death to America.
73
Does anyone seriously believe that flooding a radical theocracy with weapons and cash will curb its appetite for aggression?
74
Do any of you really believe that a theocratic Iran with sharper claws
75
and sharper fangs will be more likely to change its stripes?
76
So here's a general rule that I've learned, and you must have learned in your lifetime.
77
When bad behavior is rewarded, it only gets worse.
78
Ladies and gentlemen, I've long said that the greatest danger facing our world is the coupling of militant Islam with nuclear weapons.
79
And I'm gravely concerned that the nuclear deal with Iran will prove to be the marriage certificate of that unholy union.
80
I know that some well -intentioned people sincerely believe
81
that this deal is the best way to block Iran's path to the bomb.
82
But one of history's most important, yet least learned lessons is this.
83
The best intentions don't prevent the worst outcomes.
84
The vast majority of Israelis believe that this nuclear deal with Iran is a very bad deal.
85
And what makes matters even worse is that we see a world celebrating this bad deal,
86
rushing to embrace and do business with a regime openly committed to our destruction.
87
Last week, Major General Salehi, the commander of Iran's army,
88
proclaimed this, We will annihilate Israel for sure.
89
We are glad that we are in the forefront of executing the supreme leader's order to destroy Israel.
90
And as for the Supreme Leader himself, a few days after the nuclear deal was announced,
91
he released his latest book.
92
Here it is.
93
It's a 400 -page screed detailing his plan to destroy the State of Israel.
94
Last month, Khamenei once again made his genocidal intentions clear before Iran's top clerical body,
95
the Assembly of Experts.
96
He spoke about Israel, home to over 6 million Jews.
97
He pledged, quote, there will be no Israel in 25 years, end quote.
98
Seventy years after the murder of six million Jews,
99
Iran's rulers promised to destroy my country, murder my people.
100
And the response from this body, the response from nearly every one of the governments represented here,
101
has been absolutely nothing.
102
Utter silence.
103
Deafening silence.
104
Thank you.
105
Perhaps you can now understand why Israel is not joining you in celebrating this deal.
106
If Iran's rulers were working to destroy your countries, perhaps you'd be less enthusiastic about the deal.
107
If Iran's terror proxies were firing thousands of rockets at your cities,
108
perhaps you'd be more measured in your praise.
109
And if this deal were unleashing a nuclear arms race in your neighborhood, perhaps you'd be more reluctant to celebrate.
110
But don't think that Iran is only a danger to Israel.
111
Besides Iran's aggression in the Middle East and its terror around the world,
112
Iran is also building intercontinental ballistic missiles whose sole purpose is to carry nuclear warheads.
113
Now remember this.
114
Iran already has missiles that can reach Israel.
115
So those intercontinental ballistic missiles that Iran is building, they're not meant for us.
116
They're meant for you, for Europe,
117
for America, for raining down mass destruction, anytime, anywhere.
118
Ladies and gentlemen, it's not easy to oppose something that is embraced by the greatest powers in the world.
119
Believe me, it would be far easier to remain silent.
120
But throughout our history, the Jewish people have learned the heavy price of silence.
121
And as the Prime Minister of the Jewish State, as someone who knows that history, I refuse to be silent.
122
I'll say it again, the days when the Jewish people remained passive in the face of genocidal enemies,
123
those days are over.
124
Not being passive means speaking up about those dangers.
125
We have, we are, we will.
126
Not being passive also means defending ourselves against those dangers.
127
We have, we are, and we will.
128
Israel will not allow Iran to break in, to sneak in, or to walk into the Nuclear Weapons Club.
129
I know that preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons remains the official policy of the international community.
130
But no one should question Israel's determination to defend itself against those who seek our destruction.
131
For in every generation, there were those who rose up to destroy our people.
132
In antiquity, we faced destruction from the ancient empires of Babylon and Rome.
133
In the Middle Ages, we faced inquisition and expulsion.
134
And in modern times, we faced pogroms and the Holocaust.
135
Yet the Jewish people persevered,
136
and now another regime has arisen, swearing to destroy Israel.
137
That regime would be wise to consider this.
138
I stand here today...
139
representing Israel, a country 67 years young,
140
but the nation state of a people nearly 4 ,000 years old.
141
Yet the empires of Babylon and Rome are not represented in this Hall of Nations.
142
Neither is the Thousand Year Reich.
143
Those seemingly invincible empires are long gone.
144
But Israel lives.
145
The people of Israel live.
146
Am Yisrael Chai!
147
The rebirth of Israel is a testament to the indomitable spirit of my people.
148
For a hundred generations, the Jewish people dreamed of returning to the land of Israel.
149
Even in our darkest hours, and we had so many, even in our darkest hours,
150
we never gave up hope of rebuilding our eternal capital, Jerusalem.
151
The establishment of Israel made realizing that dream possible.
152
It has enabled us to live as a free people in our ancestral homeland.
153
It has enabled us to embrace Jews who have come from the four corners of the earth to find refuge from persecution.
154
They came from war -torn Europe, from Yemen, Iraq, Morocco, from Ethiopia and the Soviet Union, from a hundred other lands.
155
And today, as a rising tide of anti -Semitism once again sweeps across Europe and elsewhere,
156
Many Jews come to Israel to join us in building the Jewish future.
157
So here's my message to the rulers of Iran.
158
Your plan to destroy Israel will fail.
159
Israel will not permit any force on earth to threaten its future.
160
And here's my message to all the countries represented here.
161
Whatever resolutions you may adopt in this building, whatever decisions you may take in your capitals,
162
Israel will do whatever it must do to defend our state and to defend our people.
163
Distinguished Delegates, as this deal with Iran moves ahead,
164
I hope you'll enforce it – how can I put this
165
– with a little more rigor than you showed with the six Security Security Council resolutions
166
that Iran has systematically violated and which now have been effectively discarded.
167
Make sure that the inspectors actually inspect.
168
Make sure that the snapback sanctions actually snap back.
169
and make sure that Iran's violations aren't swept under the Persian rug.
170
Well, of one thing I can assure you, Israel will be watching closely.
171
What the international community now needs to do is clear.
172
First, make Iran comply with all its nuclear obligations.
173
Keep Iran's feet to the fire.
174
Second, check Iran's regional aggression.
175
Support and strengthen those fighting Iran's aggression, beginning with Israel.
176
Third, use sanctions and all the tools available to you to tear down Iraq's global terror network.
177
Ladies and gentlemen,
178
Israel is working closely with our Arab peace partners to address our common security challenges from Iran
179
and also the security challenges from ISIS and from others.
180
We're also working with other states in the Middle East,
181
as well as countries in Africa, in Asia and beyond.
182
Many in our region know that both Iran and ISIS are our common enemies.
183
And when your enemies fight each other, don't strengthen either one, weaken both!
184
Common dangers are clearly bringing Israel and its Arab neighbors closer.
185
And as we work together to thwart those dangers, I hope we'll build lasting partnerships.
186
Lasting partnerships for security, for prosperity, and for peace.
187
But in Israel, we never forget one thing.
188
We never forget that the most important partner that Israel has,
189
has always been and will always be, the United States of America.
190
The alliance between Israel and the United States is unshakable.
191
President Obama and I agree on the need to keep arms out of the hands of Iran terror proxies.
192
We agree on the need to stop Iran from destabilizing countries throughout the Middle East.
193
Israel deeply appreciates President Obama's willingness to bolster our security, help Israel maintain its qualitative military edge,
194
and help Israel confront the enormous challenges we face.
195
Israel is grateful that this sentiment is widely shared by the American people and its representative in Congress,
196
by both those who supported the deal and by those who opposed it.
197
President Obama and I have both said that our differences over the nuclear deal are a disagreement within the family.
198
But we have no disagreement about the need to work together to secure our common future.
199
And what a great future it could be.
200
Israel is uniquely poised to seize the promise of the 21st century.
201
Israel is a world leader in science and technology, in cyber, software, water, agriculture,
202
medicine, biotechnology, and so many other fields that are being revolutionized by Israeli ingenuity and Israeli innovation.
203
Israel is the innovation nation.
204
Israeli know -how is everywhere.
205
It's in your computer's microprocessors and flash drives.
206
It's in your smartphones when you send instant messages and navigate your cars.
207
It's on your farms when you drip -irrigate your crops and keep your grains and produce fresh.
208
It's in your universities when you study Nobel Prize -winning discoveries in chemistry and economics.
209
It's in your medicine cabinets when you use drugs to treat Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.
210
It's even on your plate when you eat the delicious cherry tomato.
211
That too was perfected in Israel, because you didn't know.
212
We are so proud in Israel of the long strides our country has made in such a short time.
213
We're so proud that our small country is making such a huge contribution to the entire world.
214
Yet the dreams of our people, enshrined for eternity by the great prophets of the Bible,
215
those dreams will be fully realized only when there is peace.
216
as the Middle East descends into chaos.
217
Israel's peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan are two cornerstones of stability.
218
Israel remains committed to achieving peace with the Palestinians as well.
219
I stood at this podium for the first time.
220
I spoke that day against a resolution.
221
Israelis know the price of war.
222
I know the price of war.
223
I was nearly killed in battle.
224
I lost many friends.
225
I lost my beloved brother, Yoni.
226
Those who know the price of war can best appreciate what the blessings of peace would mean for ourselves,
227
our children, our grandchildren.
228
I am prepared to immediately,
229
immediately resume direct peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority without any preconditions whatsoever.
230
However, unfortunately, President Abbas said yesterday that he is not prepared to do this.
231
Well I hope he changes his mind, because I remain committed to a vision of two states states for two peoples in
232
which a demilitarized Palestinian state recognizes the Jewish state.
233
You know, the peace process began over two decades ago.
234
Yet, despite the best efforts of six Israeli Prime Ministers,
235
Rabin, Paris, Barak, Sharon, Omer,
236
and myself, the Palestinians have consistently refused to end the conflict and make a final peace with Israel.
237
And unfortunately, you heard that rejectionism yet again, only yesterday, from President Abbas.
238
How can Israel make peace with a Palestinian partner who refuses to even sit at the negotiating
239
Israel expects the Palestinian Authority to abide by its commitments.
240
The Palestinians should not walk away from peace.
241
President Abbas, I know it's not easy.
242
I know it's hard.
243
But we owe it to our peoples to try, to continue to try, because together,
244
if we actually negotiate and stop negotiating about the negotiations,
245
if we actually sit down and try to resolve to resolve this conflict between us.
246
Recognize each other.
247
Not use a Palestinian state as a stepping stone for another Islamist dictatorship in the Middle East, but something that will live at peace next to the Jewish state.
248
If we actually do that, we can do remarkable things for our peoples.
249
The UN can help advance peace by supporting direct,
250
unconditional negotiations between the parties.
251
The UN won't help peace, certainly won't help advance peace,
252
by trying to impose solutions or by encouraging Palestinian rejectionism.
253
And the UN distinguished delegates should do one more thing.
254
The UN should finally rid itself of the obsessive bashing of Israel.
255
Here's just one absurd example of this obsession.
256
In four years of horrific violence in Syria, more than a quarter of a million people have lost their lives.
257
That's more than 10 times, more than 10 times the number of Israelis
258
and Palestinians combined who have lost their lives in a century of conflict between us.
259
Yet last year, this assembly adopted 20 resolutions against Israel and just one resolution about the savage slaughter in Syria.
260
Talk about injustice.
261
Talk about disproportionality.
262
Twenty.
263
Twenty.
264
Count them.
265
One against Syria.
266
Well, frankly, I'm not surprised.
267
To borrow a line from Yogi Berra, the late great baseball player and part -time philosopher,
268
when it comes to the annual bashing of Israel at the UN, it's deja vu all over again.
269
Enough.
270
31 years after I stood here for the first time,
271
I'm still asking, when will the UN finally check its anti -Israel fanaticism at the door?
272
When will the UN finally stop slandering Israel as a threat to peace and actually start helping Israel advance peace?
273
And the same question should be posed to Palestinian leaders.
274
When will you start working with Israel to advance peace and reconciliation and stop libeling Israel,
275
stop inciting hatred and violence?
276
President Abbas, here's a good place to begin.
277
Stop spreading lies about Israel's alleged intentions on the Temple Mounts.
278
Israel is fully committed to maintaining the status quo there.
279
What President Abbas should be speaking out against are the actions
280
of militant Islamists who are smuggling explosives into the Al -Aqsa Mosque
281
and who are trying to prevent Jews and Christians from visiting the holy sites.
282
That's the real threat to these sacred sites.
283
A thousand years before the birth of Christianity, more than 1 ,500 years before the birth of Islam,
284
King David made Jerusalem our capital, and King Solomon built the temple on that mount.
285
Yet Israel will always respect the sacred shrines of all in a region plagued by violence and by unimaginable intolerance,
286
in which Islamic fanatics are destroying the ancient treasures of civilization,
287
Israel stands out as a towering beacon of enlightenment and tolerance.
288
Far from endangering the holy sites, it is Israel that ensures their safety.
289
Because unlike the powers who have ruled Jerusalem in the past, Israel respects the holy sites and freedom of worship of all.
290
Jews, Muslims, Christians, everyone.
291
And that, ladies and gentlemen, will never change, because Israel will always stay true to its values.
292
These values are on display each and every day.
293
When Israel's feisty parliament vigorously debates every issue under the sun,
294
When Israel's Chief Justice sits in her chair in our fiercely independent Supreme Court.
295
When our Christian community continues to grow and thrive from year to year, as Christian communities are decimated elsewhere in the Middle East.
296
When a brilliant young Israeli Muslim student gives her valedictorian address at one of our finest universities.
297
And when Israeli doctors and nurses, doctors and nurses from the Israeli military,
298
treat thousands of wounded from the killing fields of Syria, and thousands more in the wake of natural disasters from Haiti to Nepal.
299
This, this is the true face of Israel.
300
These are the values of Israel.
301
And in the Middle East,
302
these values are under savage assault by militant Islamists who are forcing millions of terrified people to flee to distant shores.
303
Ten miles from ISIS, a few hundred yards from Iran's murderous proxies,
304
Israel stands in the breach, proudly and courageously defending freedom and progress.
305
Israel is civilization's front line in the battle against barbarism.
306
So here's a novel idea for the United Nations.
307
Instead of continuing the shameful routine of bashing Israel, stand with Israel.
308
Stand with Israel as we check the fanaticism at our door.
309
Stand with Israel as we prevent that fanaticism from reaching your door.
310
Ladies and gentlemen, stand with Israel because Israel is not just defending itself.
311
More than ever, Israel is defending you.
312
On behalf of General Assembly, I wish to thank Prime Minister of the State of Israel for the statement just made,
313
and I request protocol to escort His Excellency.
314
The Assembly will hear a statement by His Excellency.

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 30 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come doesn't, I've, don't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “th”: strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/, enthusiasm /ɪnˈθuziæzəm/, threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/, theocracy /θiːˈɒkɹəsi/
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: aggression /əˈɡɹɛʃən/, regime /ɹəˈʒiːm/, destruction /dɪsˈtɹʌkʃən/, intentions /ɪnˈtɛnʃənz/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/, negotiation /nɪˌɡəʊ.ʃiˈeɪ.ʃən/, innovation /ˌɪn.əˈveɪ.ʃən/, disagreement /dɪsəˈɡɹiːmənt/, economics /ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪks/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: behalf /bɪˈhæf/, hostile /ˈhɑstəl/, hatred /ˈheɪtɹɪd/, whatsoever /ˌ(h)wʌtsoʊˈɛvɚ/, homeland /ˈhoʊmˌlænd/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: defend /dɪˈfɪnd/, militant /ˈmɪlɪtənt/, silence /ˈsaɪ̯ləns/, intentions /ɪnˈtɛnʃənz/, passive /ˈpæs.ɪv/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: passive /ˈpæs.ɪv/, bash /bæʃ/, vast /væst/, flash /flæʃ/, behalf /bɪˈhæf/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come defend, gentleman, aggression.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
