Netanyahu says ‘Never Again’
“My friends, standing up to Iran is not easy,” he says, adding that confronting a dark “murderous” regime never is.

He points to Elie Wiesel, and applause erupts in the room.
“Elie, your life and work, inspires us to give meaning to the words: Never Again.”
More applause.
“I wish I could promise you, Elie, that the lessons of history have been learned,” he says. He says he will urge the world leaders to take note, but says he can guarantee days “when the Jews remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies — those days are over!”
Cheering and applause ensues.
