Netanyahu paints Israel's critics as 'antisemites' in angry UN speech to near-empty hall

Netanyahu did not hold back from taking an aggressive stance towards critics when the General Assembly hall erupted in boos as he took to the podium, with most delegates walking out in protest. “Order in the hall, please. Order in the hall, please,” the president of the General Assembly could be heard shouting, trying to silence the room. “If there are any other moral cowards who haven’t left this hall, please do so now,” Netanyahu said, smiling, before he began his speech.
