A breath-taking speech by Miriam Novak at the UN General Assembly.

Don’t miss a word!

For two thousand years we have lived among you, offering you our knowledge, discoveries and inventions.

At the UN Special General Assembly in New York, held at the request of the leaders of the European Union and the New Arab Bloc, the representative of Israel, Miriam Novak, spoke.

Standing at the podium, in front of the green marble wall of the main UN hall, Miriam Novak said into the microphone:

“Ladies and gentlemen! As you know, eighty years ago, Europe, led by Germany, carried out an ethnic purge: it exterminated almost all the Jews who lived there. French, Belgians, Dutch, Norwegians, Hungarians, Slovaks, Poles, Lithuanians, Ukrainians – all helped the fascists. You killed at least six million Jews, including new-born babies. Each of them could have given the world children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, so you can multiply the number of killed by four or five… And now, when we are again plundered, beaten and killed in all your countries, and your courts release the murderers, you tell us that we have no right to defend ourselves? We have no right to warn our enemies that we will respond to a new ethnic cleansing with an even more powerful strike? Perhaps you can name another nation whose extermination is so fanatically sought by your new Iranian-led international community? And why?

For two thousand years, we have lived among you, offering you our knowledge, discoveries and inventions. We have given you the alphabet, the Bible, the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, the twelve apostles, Spinoza, Disraeli, Columbus, Newton, Nostradamus, Heine, Mendelssohn, Einstein, Singer, Eisenstein, Freud, Landau, Gershwin, Offenbach, Rubinstein, Saint-Saëns, Kafka, Lombroso, Montaigne, Mahler, Marcel Marceau, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Yehudi Menuhin, Stefan Zweig, Arthur Miller, Maya Plisetskaya, Stanley Kubrick, Irving Berlin, Edward Teller, Lion Feuchtwanger, Paul Newman, Robert Oppenheimer, Benny Goodman, Eugène Ionesco, Imre Kálmán, Marcel Proust, Marc Chagall, Barbra Streisand, Claude Lelouch, Steven Spielberg, Anouk Aimée, Leonard Bernstein, Norbert Wiener, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Andrew Lloyd Webber and thousands of other scientists and educators. Imagine how many such geniuses could have been born from the millions of Jews killed by you, and then from their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren!

But these unborn geniuses disappeared forever in crematoriums, burned synagogues, and mass graves. So do you really think that your resolutions, boycotts and sanctions can bring us back to the gas chambers? No, ladies and gentlemen! Having lived among you for two thousand years, we have had to adapt to you and learn not only your languages, but also some aspects of your psychology. Otherwise, how would we have survived in Persia without Persian perfidy? In Spain without the Spanish cruelty? In Germany without German submission to discipline? In France without French avarice? In Poland without Polish vanity, and in Russia without the oaths and the Russian habit of court latrines, where one must squat and talk about one’s spiritual greatness? — (Laughter in the room.)
“And that is why I will tell you frankly: yes, we are not angels. Among us there have been international crooks and gangsters, Lansky, Medoff and Epstein, thieves, looters, adventurers and even pedophiles. But in all our common history, there has never been a Jewish Bogdan Khmelnitsky, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. There have never been Jewish Josef Mengele and Erik Koch, Jewish Adolf Eichmann and Idi Amin, Jewish Andrei Chikatilo and Li Zicheng, Jewish Jeffrey Dahmer and Jean Bokassa, Jewish Fritz Haarmann and Ted Bundy, Jewish Nikolai Dzhumagaliev and Albert Fish. We have never made necklaces with human ears, never scalped, never eaten human flesh, never made soap with human fat, never made lampshades with human skin, never made mattresses with women’s hair, never burned people in religious temples, and never killed children in gas chambers. Instead, we created things that changed the world for the better.
Drip irrigation, seawater desalination, Intel processors and Centrino and Core Duo platforms, the world’s smallest DNA computer and the world’s first USB flash drive, nanowire and camera pill, multiple sclerosis drug and exoskeleton, Google Glass for the blind and baby breathing monitor, The radar that can see through walls, the holographic reality artificial intelligence synthesizer, and hundreds of other wonderful things.

Representing only 0.2% of the world’s population, we have given the world 32% of the Nobel Prize winners. Yes, I forgot to tell you: we have never consumed and do not consume the blood of Christian infants to make matzah. Already in 1913, three Orthodox experts on Judaism proved this at the famous Beilis trial in Kiev.

In 1962, the Second Vatican Council lifted our guilt for the crucifixion of Christ, and in 2011, Pope Benedict XVI declared that “the Christian cannot be anti-Semitic, we have the same roots.”

In 2019, his successor, Pope Francis I, said that “every Christian has a Jew in him” and that “one cannot be a true Christian without acknowledging one’s Jewish roots.”

In addition, the head of the global Catholic Church said that “the covenant between God and Jews continues to apply” and “that anti-Semitism includes not only attacks on Jews, but also criticism of Israel.”

Finally, in June 2020, the Rev. John Hagee, the leader of American Evangelical Christians, published his “Appeal to the World,” in which he said simply and clearly, “Why do we, eight million patriotic American Christians, support Israel? Because God is on Israel’s side! If a Christian says he doesn’t like Jews, then his false Christianity is very dubious. God says, “I will bless those who bless Israel! I will curse those who curse Israel!” And now I want to ask the European delegates in this room: who do you think you are? Are you Christians or not? When you pray to Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the holy apostles, are you not praying to the Jews? And when you say that you carry the image of Christ in your heart, do you not admit that you carry a Jew in your soul?

Even if you are a hard-core atheist, your ancestors were Christians for two thousand years, and therefore, Judaism is in your blood – whether you like it or not!

So, ladies and gentlemen. If you insist on the international boycott of Israel because you continue to hate Jews and want the total extermination of Jews on earth, then be consistent – start with yourselves, do seppuku! It will be an honest ethnic purge.

And now, as we say here in America, I have news for you. Now, after the Christians, it is the turn of the Muslims to get rid of anti-Semitism. Yes, it won’t be easy, but just as the Almighty helped humanity get rid of the bubonic plague, anthrax, cholera, and coronavirus, He will help you get rid of anti-Semitism. You ask: why? Why has the Almighty brought us back to Israel and forced you to give up your desire to destroy us? For He has to have a purpose, doesn’t He?

I will give you my personal opinion. For according to His purpose, every nation is to bring to mankind what it does best.

The French – cooks and perfumers.

The English and the Russians – writers and poets.

Italians – artists and musicians.

The Germans – soldiers and philosophers.

And we Jews – geniuses.

Geniuses who, in all fields, are advancing humanity from barbarism and idolatry to culture, humanism and technical progress. This is our mission, which we have been accomplishing for two thousand years, despite everything!

So whether we have genetic, torsional, nuclear, tectonic, cosmic, or other defence weapons, that’s none of your business! Whether you allow us to have defensive weapons or not, we don’t care.

As one of the founders of our state, Ze’ev Jabotinsky, once said: “Whether you like us or not, we don’t care, we arrived before you and we will leave after you.”

    A heartfelt defence of the Jewish People’s right to self-determination. This address should be compulsory reading in all secondary schools! Miriam Novak challenges antisemites everywhere, and particularly those who sit in the General Assembly, to look at the consequences of endorsing hatred. Despite the destruction of a very high percentage of Europe’s Jews, the Jewish People continue the journey of tikkun olam. No matter what terrorists and states that support genocidal aims may do and say, Israel, the People and Nation, will strive for the betterment of humanity.

    • Meir Silver

      An excellent speech. Sadly, though, of all the Jews to quote at the conclusion of such an oratory is Jabotinski?
      According to tradition, the Land if Israel and The People of Israel are forever wed. The Torah opens with Hashem creating the Universe. As the creator, Hashem can give whatever part of his creation to whomever He pleases. It is documented in the Torah that Hashem gave the People of Israel the land if Israel forever. We may still be in an incomplete sovereignty, however one day our sovereignty will be complete, and “on that day all nations will know that Hashem is One and his Name is One.”.

        Iam a Christian, my Bible tells me iam to love the land of Israel and its people. Those who love Israel love God. Israel is defending what is theirs whether the world wants accept it or not. Again a Christian who loves God and our savior Jesus Christ must defend Israel my prayers are with brothers and sister of Israel. The word of God (the Bible) tells me I am a grafted jew ✡️ and I proudly accept it. The speech of ms.Miriam Novak.touched me to the core of my being. May the God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob bless Israel for ever. Shalom

          My family and I are Christians, we follow Jesus Christ the Messias, and through Him we are grafted into the Covenant of God, part of the Jewish people. We shall stand by Israel, stand by our Jewish brothers and sisters.Eretz Israel

        I am a Christian with knowledge of Judeo Christian roots.
        I have been astounded at our current governments response and the liberal colleges and universities
        Anti Semitism. This will be shared!

    • Absolutely stunning speech but probably ignored by most for one simple reason . The fourth atheist ic religion. Money!
      In this terrible world the numbers talk. When there are 1.5 billion Muslims who hate everyone who isn’t, and only 15 million Jews, it is quite obvious that most EU politician cash where’s most available.
      Short sighted crooks that prefer to bury hands in the sand for “cash now” when the Islamic sword will eventually behead them too. Meanwhile they express their antisemitism to delay their own dooms day. And for France, England, Belgium and others, dooms day is just around the corner.

    • Andrei Lupu

      Correct. To bad it was never presented at the UN assembly and Miriam Novak does not exist, at least not as an Israeli representative at the UN….

      • Elaine Singer

        Exactly, I have searched everywhere and can find no evidence it happened nor can I find any evidence of a Miriam Novak being a member of the Israeli delegation.

        • Kenny

          Lets say you are correct and the speech never happened. Lets say there are thing that were stated that may have not been fact checked. History is on the side of this speech. It is very obvious that many Jewish people are smart and innovators. Nobel prizes are given to people for distinguished accomplishments. We are able to communicate via cell phone , internet and how about waze. and how about the iron dome Israel. By the way are you perfect, I doubt it !!!!!

    • Anne Mills

      It’s a good speech. Too bad it was never actually presented at the UN…
      In fact, while it was allegedly presented sometime in 2021, no one even heard of it, until 2024…Literally impossible for that to happen in the 21st. century.

  • Albert Smit

    Wow. This is something that every person on the face of the earth should hear !
    Powerfull and unapologetic!!

    All praise, honor and glory to God our Abba Father.
    Honorable Miriam, you have my respect. 🙏

    • Genie Harris

      I don’t care if it was a letter to the editor. What was said or written carries tremendous weight and truth. Fact checkers and doubting Thomases “be damned”.

  • Lee

    How do you know this is not a fake news item? Who is this Miriam Novak? I can find no verbal recordings of this speech anywhere and it has warning signs in the rhetoric used? I support Israel and am concerned to see the various fake news items purporting to be from world leaders yet are not. This degrades Israel’s cause. Please provide proof i.e. relevant links which explain who she is and if possible her recorded video of this speech.

  • Jonah Moskowitz

    Wow – those are very powerful words.

    May they be used again in part or in full, together with many other actions done by the anti – Jewish UN , at their trial for their eternal destruction

  • Judith Jaeger

    I would be grateful to know the date this speech was given and a link to the person who gave it (I can find no Miriam Novak who spoke at the UN on a simple internet search and can find no reference to the speech having been given at the UN General Assembly). Thank you!

    • Ruth Anne

      While I understand everyone’s desire to hear documented truth I don’t believe it really matters in this case. Even if this lady does not exist and this speech was never given every word of it is truth documented by over 2,000 years of human history. Antisemitism is evil, period.

  • Maria Knez

    Excellent! Finally! Noah Tishby at the beginning, and let’s hope, Miriam Novak at the end – victoriously!

    My fight is the same. Right now writing the critical view to the Croatian sociological society and to the Overseas Board for Instagram…. Fighting the woke leftists of Croatian parliament as well, all the time.

    In my opinion, we need more direct and brave advocacy – like this one – and PR towards the masses of the people as well – emphasising: (1.) the INNOCENCY; (A) the white flag for the civilians in urban combating; (B) children belongs to their parents; where are fathers of those innocent children and husbands of those women? (2.) Islam was the IMPERIALISTIC religion – Judaism NEVER was❗ The assimilation into the societies for the Jews always normal thing – for Muslims never. IF THE REASON OF HATRED IS RELIGIOUSLY ROOTED, THE ANSWER MUST BE RELIGIOUS AS WELL .So, the islamic definition of LAND cannot be adequate for the contemporary politics! The argument of Ishmael must be explained properly, it’s written clearly and is adequate – Ishmael got the blessing, not heritage, that was the law. (3.) On the contrary, The West Bank proof that so called Palestinians accept the modern politics – or, if not, it’s a proof of their appetite which is to take the Jewish lands without giving back anything (in return) and union with Jordan, some day. (4.) The Black September – a proof of evil statistics NOW, and that they are capable of forgiving the killing❗ In that case, the state is not their primary goal – it is the first and only goal regarding Israel only! (5.) Use the term JUDEO-CHRISTIAN CULTURE AND VALUES ❗ There’s no place for Islamo-Christian… Just because Islam was and still is the enemy of the Western world! Historically. (6.) Mosab Jousef Hassan, the authentic Palestinian! He knows better! I’m agree when he says they are not ready for having the state right now…. (7.) In short: they already have their state and that’s JORDAN. Why 2 states for them and just a HALF, 1/2, for Israel ⁉️ (8.) Sorry, but the state for such a democracy is like a state for the Italian Mafia – not legal ❗ (9.) They already have self declared state, from 1988. and the state without Israeli presence for last almost 20 years also – BUT, THEY ARE NOT INDEPENDENT BECAUSE OF THE UNRWA❗ They are not only a proxy of Iranian REGIME, but that regime itself. Its not a democracy. ISLAMISTIC JIHAD MUST BE THE TASK FOR THE ARABS, NOT FOR THE WESTERN WORLD. (10.) Attack their patriarchate as well as the definitions of accusations!… Say that Judaism IS ALIVE. “AM ISRAEL CHAI, OD AVINU CHAI”! Remember that every Jew is the object of hatred, regardless of any of differences!… So, jihadistic hatred needed a response from MOSES! Do not be afraid! And say that woke is most dangerous than communism!

    And finally, in this short notice, suddenly, don’t forget to include the military knowledge, to emphasize the fact that the war IS the politics, domain of the interests, not of the feelings! Unfortunately, the HATRED is irrational and cannot be solved politically without the justice!

    Yes, of course, Israel has made a lot of mistakes, but nothing deserved such a hatred… In fact, at the beginning, Arabs failed attacking those who were the receiver as they were, instead of the givers ❗❗ SEE! THINK ABOUT THAT, EXPLORE THAT IDEA! OF COURSE IT’S A PSYCHOLOGICAL SYNDROME… AS HATRED… HUMAN CONDITIONS REQUIRES TO BE HEALED FIRST ❗

    Congratulations to all of you, especially to Ms Miriam Novak! Thanks for this opportunity!

  • Andrei Lupu

    Sorry, as an Israeli language bing in Israel for the last 43 years – I have never heard of an Israeli UN representative named Miriam Novak, nor can I find any other related news items to support this , besides a 2021 similar item which reports a similar speech including similar or almost exact statements. This not the retoric a formal Israel representative would use and has “fake news” plastered all over it.

  • Richard W

    Just wondering what the source of this article is? It has been published in a couple of places about the same time but its veracity seems questionable although the content is quite admirable!
    Shalom

  • Hedy Segal

    This was an amazing speech and I hope it reverberated with the U.N.Unfortunately I believe that the U.N. are made up of tin people,straw people and cowardly people.Sadly,Dorthy had a better group then these folks because they were looking to improve themselves.

  • cyd

    i would very much like to know who wrote this, who spoke it, when and where because i can find absolutely no accounting of it anywhere – miriam novak is an actress, and there is nothing under any un general assembly (that i can find) showing this. i find very similar versions under x and on a facebook jexit post but nothing attributing it beyond reposts such as this.

  • Ella Gaffen

    Speechless… no words to express appreciation for putting the situation so eloquently into words
    Ella from Israel, living the horrors

  • Hal Lewis

    Does not matter who wrote this nor where it is heard or read. Its content is factual even though it does not mention Moses, the Bible, nor Abraham or the 10 Commandments.

    • Joan Lister

      Thank you, Hal Lewis! All that matters is what was said and whether it is correct.
      And it is correct! The United Nations, if it were not the venue, would have been an excellent site for the delivery of that speech.

  • Adrian Soimu

    I strongly believe that this piece of fake news is the work of Arab propaganda, as no Israeli representative would address the rest of the world in such derogatory terms. This pure concoction is meant to portray Jews as arrogant and pretentious, and despising the other religions. All this nonobstanding the fact that no Israeli delegate to the United Nations was ever named Miriam Novak, and there is no evidence that such a speech was ever delivered. One can easily imagine the tempest that would have flooded all the main publications on this planet if the story would have been true…

  • Pavel Chebotarev

    This is an excerpt from the book “The Appearance of the Prophet” by Russian writer Eduard Topol, 2021. Dated forward to April 24, 2024. In this fantasy text, Miriam Novak is the Prime Minister of Israel.

  • Jim Sugarman

    A powerful and right on commentary…but I can find no reference to Ms. Novak speaking at the UN, or who she us and her reference to John Hagee is particularly interesting as he has a unique agenda for Israel, which has little to do with the interests of Jews. He leads an effort that wants Jews to move to Israel to hasten the End Times and bring about the Apocalypse, the Second Coming of Christ.

  • Tomas Lang

    Tomas Lang, historian on The Shoa, Slovakia:
    Dear debaters, it is a pity that when searching for the cited book as a source of the text published under the (fictitious?) name of Miriam Novak, I did not find this one, although I found a respectable number of books by the author Eduard Topol.
    I don’t want to question the clear content of the text “Miriam Novak”, it cannot be questioned. As a condensed description of the life of our nation in a galut lasting almost 2000 years, it reflects our sufferings and joys.
    If the text is actually quoted from Eduard Topol’s book, the author made a mistake by not citing a source for this text. Due to its presumed authenticity, he must have had it available, and publishing it as a text by an anonymous author is highly unethical.
    If you share my opinion, I recommend sending it far with some indication of these doubts.

  • janmash@aol.com

    Who wrote this speech and where was it given? Who gave it.
    it is powerful but it is hard to distribute it without understanding where it came from.

  • Michael

    On request of my distant relative in Russia I search every possible source of information including AI (ChatGPT, Copilot) and was not able to find the primary link to the speech.
    UN official site does not provide info about these 2 speeches – 2021 and 2024.

    Q: Is Miriam Novak a real person, Israel’s representative in the UN General Assembly?
    A: I don’t have enough information to answer that question.
    The Snopes Archives provided do not contain any specific information about Miriam Novak or Israel’s current representative to the UN General Assembly. The articles cover various topics related to the United Nations, Israel, and political figures, but none mention Miriam Novak or provide details about Israel’s current UN representative. Without additional verified information, I cannot confirm whether Miriam Novak is a real person or Israel’s representative in the UN General Assembly.

    So, I give up. Strong words in both speeches, but last words ascribed to Ze’ev Jabotinsky sound like a threat to all humanity.

    Come on, some one made the effort and listed all the jewish people that contributed to our universe in a positive way, some thing to be proud of, all this is known but it makes no difference, the hate and jealousies will continue because of our schen part of god in us that makes us special, but don’t wave this gift in the face of those who don’t have it,
    So there is no m/s Novak or her speech infront of the UN, this peace of info is worthy of reading passing it on and teaching to our children
    While on the subject I would like to give mention to Nikky Healy (spelling) who was Americas representative at the UN (appointed by Trump)who spoke very eloquently in defense of israel to the point of our situation at present. Did her wounderful words make a difference on the political world?
    In summation forget m/s Novak forget UN, and digest the meaning of the article, teach your children their heritage and while they are having a bad time in collage let these facts be their beacon. Thank you

  • Bishop Background Chukwuemeka Ndukwe Azu

    Every christian is a jew by faith,so every christian allover the whole world must love and support Israel,any nation and people who hate Israel becomes enemies of God,I love Israel i stand with Israel, The words of Miriam Novak,is an eye opener for everyone to know that the Bible is a true Book, and her speech touches to the marrow and all she said is a convincing truth which should be used to teach students in the school,God bless Miriam Novak,God bless Israel.Amen

  • Manu

    Not only it’s probably fake but worse of all, such an arrogant speech, is the best way to make sure Jews are rejected. Too bad because no group of people deserves collective hatred…

  • This is a beautiful, eloquent speech. The spark of God resides in every living soul and as such every human being is worthy of dignity and respect. It is the Jewish People who are charged with the task of revealing God’s presence in this world through their manner of conduct and expected to serve as a light unto the nations of the world. Our very existence and continued survival defy rational explanation and is made possible only because it is God alone who chose us as his beloved ones and ensures our continuity until the end of days, when the entire world will recognize his sovereignty.

  • Man kann nicht anders als ihr im vollen Geist zustimmen. Leider geht es bei den meisten Zuhörer genau so schnell aus dem linken Ohr heraus, wie es ins recht Ohr hineindrang, wenn sie überhaupt zugehört haben und nicht gelangweilt Pornofilme auf dem Handy anguckten. Solche Reden beweg bedauerlicherweise kaum etwas und jemand.
    Auf politischen Bühnen, und die UN ist wahrscheinlich die größte aller, werden viele Reden gehalten, aber nur Tacheles, ergo reelles Handeln bewirkt etwas, wenn es sich nicht vermeiden lässt, dass man dem gezwungen ist zu folgen; wie z.B. USA Zölle. So lange Israel mächtige Freunde in der Welt hat (u.a. die USA) wird dieses Land, dieser Staat und seine jüdischen Menschen nicht aufhören zu handeln und insbesondere mit friedlichen Absichten zu existieren. Gott schütze Israel! 👍👍👍

  • HARRY

    One of the best speeches i read for a long long time covers from the biblical times to present days the Australian government should study it and learn from it that is if they could have the ability to understand it sorry the intellectual level is not there and yet they are running the place

  • Milton Klein

    Even though it is the desire of our Jewish people, this speech has never been made.
    A Jew must be guided by the truth. Lying will only bring curses. It is a disgrace that this Jewish institution maintains this publication.
