The Israeli prime minister “had something of surpassing importance to say, and he said it with force, with strength, with conviction and with grace,” wrote Commentary editor John Podhoretz.

Mr. Netanyahu: “Iran and ISIS are competing for the crown of militant Islam. One calls itself the Islamic Republic. The other calls itself the Islamic State. Both want to impose a militant Islamic empire first on the region and then on the entire world. The difference is that ISIS is armed with butcher knives, captured weapons and YouTube, whereas Iran could soon be armed with intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear bombs. To defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle, but lose the war. We can’t let that happen.”

He went on to say that the treaty the Obama administration is negotiating with the mullahs “paves Iran’s path to the bomb.”

Philip Klein of the Washington Examiner wrote, “With a mix of passion and steadfastness combined with a detailed prosecutor-like approach, Netanyahu exposed the deal.” The Washington Post editorialized that his arguments “deserve a serious response from the Obama administration — one it has yet to provide.”
