Over the last five years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has devoted all the speeches he delivered on US territory — whether to UN assemblies or the US Congress — to the connection between the Iranian nuclearization threat and the Holocaust of European Jewry.
For Netanyahu, the Iranian threat is his life project, the crowning glory of his rulership ever since he was elected to his second term of office in February 2009 and also in his current third term. To a large extent, this issue defines Netanyahu’s recent years as prime minister. Thus, perhaps he finds it difficult to free himself from his modus operandi and old proclamations, even when Iran is ostensibly singing a new song these days, at least to the outside world.
