It’s a shame that Secretary of State John Kerry, who worked so hard in Vienna to broker the infamous Iran nuclear deal, wasn’t for whatever reason able to attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the U.N. General Assembly today. He missed quite a powerful speech.

Outraged by the delegates’ “deafening silence” on the Iran deal and its implications for Israel, Netanyahu at one point paused his speech and simply glared in silence at the Assembly.

“Odd” isn’t the word most used to describe the dramatic moment.

@allahpundit @BeladonnaRogers I desperately wish we had a leader who loved this country like Netanyahu loves his.

@SalenaZitoTrib @allahpundit The chicken shits in the UNGA should have started standing up, one by one. Instead, they took a beating.

@thehill my prayers are with you Mr. Prime Minister. I feel so sorry my country is letting you down.

@thehill THE BEST STARE DOWN EVER! It seemed it was an hour long stare down of defiance to THE MOST DESPICABLE ORGANIZATION ON THE PLANET!

Best ever? Don’t forget that time President Obama was lauded by the AP for staring down a glacier from a tour boat in Alaska. That was pretty intense.
