Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be returning next week to his favorite haunt: the speaker’s podium at the UN General Assembly meeting, where he is expected to address the assembly participants on Sept. 19. Sept. 27 will mark five years since his 2012 landmark horror show on that same podium regarding Iran’s nuclear bomb. “Where should the red line be drawn?” Netanyahu asked before marking his red line on a sketch of a bomb that he held up. “The red line should be drawn … before Iran gets to a point where it is a few months away or a few weeks away from amassing enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon.”
Years went by, and most of the bombs going off in Israel are metaphoric stink bombs related to corruption suspicions dropped on the residences of the prime minister and his wife.
