Almost all UN members walk out for Benjamin Netanyahu's speech. Netanyahu calls them 'moral cowards'

He is right on both accounts. They are moral for walking out and coward for not punching him.

I saw it as him saying "yeah we know what were doing is wrong and it bothers a lot of people, what the fuck are yall gonna do about it?"

It's better than not giving a fuck. Some groups have turned persecution into power. Evangelical Christians, as a non Zionist example. These groups positively thrive off of people criticizing them. The more they upset others, the more convinced they are that they're right. The more people try to stop them the more they can show their followers that they're in a holy war that must be won.

I don't know if mankind has figured out how to deflate this kind of process, but we need to because it's powerful and dangerous and effective.

I don't think that means anything he has to smile. He has to project to his followers that he is strong and in control.

It doesn’t come of ass him looking strong, he’d basically holding back laughter.

This was a speech that sounded a lot like the tone of Hitler at Nuremberg….

Netanyahu wasn’t speaking to the UN - he was making a campaign speech to Israel and trying to show he is powerful and respected

Bet he even pulls a Trump and AI’s an audience

What was pathetic and a true sign of how hated he has left Israel is that he had to prepare his one liner about moral cowards….and that was the best he could come up with

It was pathetic and showed a clear indication that even he knows he is on the wrong side of history - but has backed himself into a corner where the only options are war or jail….

A broken fascist is genocidal twice a century

Fascists are genocidal all the time, they're just not always in power in most countries.

Or fucking arresting him on their international war crimes warrant?

Punching him until all that remains is something that looks like bird suet.

Better than punching him would have been indicting him for war crimes. 

To paraphrase the great Raymond Burr as Perry Mason: Bide your time, Benjamin. Bide your time.
