Netanyahu to Nasrallah: Stay in your bunker
2011-02-17
[Jerusalem Post Front Page] Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, at the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations gathering in Jerusalem, responded to Hezbullies leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah's speech Wednesday.

"Whoever hides in a bunker should stay in the bunker," Netanyahu said. "No one should doubt Israel's strength or its ability to defend itself"

He added: "Nasrallah said he would capture the Galilee, I have news for you - you won't."

"We have a strong army," he added. "We seek peace with all of our neighbors, but the IDF is prepared to defend Israel from any of its enemies."

Netanyahu also discussed the protests in Egypt.

"No one knows what the future holds for Egypt," he said. "In Washington they don't know, in Tehran they don't know, and especially even the columnists in The New York Times don't know."

Netanyahu added that "Israel is interested in a democratic Egypt that will live peacefully with its neighbors."

"On the other hand, the leaders in Tehran want to see a different Egypt," he explained, "that is ruled by Iranians that oppress human rights.
... which are not the same thing as individual rights, mind you...
They don't want an Egypt that looks to the 21st century, but one that looks to the ninth century."

The prime minister added that an "Egypt that supports Iran will support terror."
