JERUSALEM (AP) — In his speeches to the United Nations when world leaders gather, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has quite the history of turning to props and visual aids to hammer his points home. But even by the Israeli leader’s elevated standards of showmanship, this year’s address took things to a new level.
Moments into the speech Friday morning, Netanyahu unfurled a map – titled “THE CURSE" (the all-caps were his) – in which he methodically used a fat marker to check off the countries where Israel has killed its enemies during a nearly two-year regionwide war.
