Netanyahu's 'blessing' map wipes out Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Iran
At the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented two maps to depict what he called "The Blessing" and "The Curse" of the Middle East. According to Netanyahu, "The Blessing" map, which excludes Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran, represents "a bright blessing, a future of hope." In contrast, "The Curse" map signifies "a dark future of despair," according to Netanyahu who added, "If you think this dark map is only a curse for Israel, if you think that, then you should think again." While Netanyahu alleged before the UN General Assembly that Iran and its allies "destroys millions; destroys nations from within and inflicts misery on millions," his government and occupation forces were simultaneously carrying out relentless massacres in Gaza, as well as South Lebanon and the Bekaa.
