Donald Netanyahu and Benjamin Trump

In his most recent public pronouncements Donald Trump sounds precisely like Benjamin Netanyahu. The table below offers a few comparisons.

“Remarks by President Trump to the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly,” Office of the Press Secretary, The White House, 19 September 2017

and “FULL TEXT: Netanyahu’s Address to UN General Assembly,” Haaretz, 19 September 2017.

 

	Emphasis	Donald Trump	Benjamin Netanyahu
1	Iran’s alleged threat to destroy Israel	[Iran] speaks openly of mass murder, vowing death to America, destruction to Israel	As long as Iran’s regime seeks the destruction of Israel, Iran will face no fiercer enemy than Israel
2	False allegation of chemical attacks in Syria (actually a false flag by White Helmets funded by Israel and Saudi Arabia)	The actions of the criminal regime of Bashar al-Assad, including the use of chemical weapons against his own citizens …	Syria has barrel-bombed, starved, gassed and murdered hundreds of thousands of its own citizens and wounded millions more
3	False empathy for Iranian people seeking to divide people from leaders	The longest-suffering victims of Iran’s leaders are, in fact, its own people.	I also have a message today for the people of Iran: You are not our enemy. You are our friends.
4	False narrative on Iranian funding of terrorism when in fact USA and Saudi Arabia and Israel are the primary state-sponsors of terrorism	[Iran’s] oil profits go to fund Hezbollah and other terrorists that kill innocent Muslims and attack their peaceful Arab and Israeli neighbors.	Iran spreads this curtain of tyranny and terror over Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere, and it pledges to extinguish the light of Israel.
5	Opposition to nuclear deal with Iran, never mind the 44 US military bases surrounding Iran	That deal [JCPOA] is an embarrassment to the United States, and I don’t think you’ve heard the last of it	President Trump rightly called the nuclear deal with Iran – he called it “an embarrassment.” Well, I couldn’t agree with him more.
6	Hypocritical denunciation of Iranian dictatorship with both USA and Israel are neo-fascist governments	The Iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy	I have a simple message to Ayatollah Khamenei, the dictator of Iran.
7	Change needed at the United Nations – on this we all agree	[…] The United Nations must reform if it is to be an effective partner in confronting threats to sovereignty, security, and prosperity.	Despite the absurdities, despite the repetition of these farcical events, there is change, slowly but surely. There are signs of positive change, even at the United Nations.
