Netanyahu:Our enemies tried to deny us our future, but we rose again, in the land of our forefathers. Today, the Iranian regime openly calls (and acts) for our destruction. This time however, we have our own country, our own army. We have the capability, the duty and the determination to defend ourselves. We will never bury our heads in the sand.
