Israel and Iran: Maps of a Blessing and a Curse

This is the map I presented here last year.

It's a map of a blessing.

It shows Israel,

Israel and its Arab partners forming a land bridge connecting Asia and Europe

between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

Across this bridge,

we will lay rail lines,

energy pipelines, fiber optic cables and this will serve the betterment of two billion people.

Now look at this second map.

It's a map, look at the second map.

It's a map of a curse.

It's a map of an arc of terror that Iran has created and imposed from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean.

Iran's malignant arc has shut down international waterways.

It cuts off trade.

It destroys millions,

destroys nations from within and inflicts misery on millions. On the one hand,

a bright blessing, a future of hope.

On the other hand, a dark future of despair.

And if you think this dark map is only a curse for Israel,

if you think that, then you should think again.

Because Iran's aggression,

if it's not checked,

will endanger every single country in the Middle East and many,

many countries in the rest of the world.

Because Iran seeks to impose its radicalism well beyond the Middle East.

That's why it funds terror networks on five continents.

That's why it builds ballistic missiles for nuclear warheads to threaten the entire world.

For too long,

the world has appeased Iran.

It turns a blind eye to its internal repression.

It turns a blind eye to its external aggression.

Well, that appeasement must end.

And that appeasement must end now.

Nations of the world should support the brave people.
