On Friday we put out the call for predictions on what Benjamin Netanyahu might bring to the U.N. this week and you delivered. Here are some of our favorites, and it’s not too late to send yours! We’ll keep posting them as long as we get them, but of course, it’s more helpful to Netanyahu if you give him ideas before his speech on Tuesday. Keep’em coming!
Vargha Dâna thinks Netanyahu will just go with scare tactics:
Aleksandr Kalinin posted this to Twitter. He must assume Netanyahu has hit an art class in the past year:
William Zaslavsky believes Netanyahu will show his softer side:
Talknic doubts Netanyahu’s case will stand up:
John Lewis-Dickerson says Netanyahu will offer a history lesson:
Some hit similar themes. First Jamal Abdi:
Then, Walter Young titled, “circulus in probando”:
Finally, not everyone used our template, but then again, why mess with perfection? From Edward Givens:

As a favor to my fellow Mondoites I have gotten an advance text of Mr. Sara’s speech. I shall annunciate the main points:
Holocaust! Death Camps! Never Again!
There, now you don’t have to listen to the darn thing.
Holocaust 2.
Never again* (except for the Palestinians)
We are civilized
The Arabs are barbarians (but not the Jewish Arabs who are the backbone of the Likud)
We want peace
They don’t
We are really smart people
We are just like you
I speak really good English
I have a 10,000 year old iphone here that was found at Masada that belonged to Benjamin Netanyahu III who was friendly with Uh the Hittite, 7000 years before the alphabet was invented
I’m still the same turd I was when I was 27
Henny Penny and Wile E. Coyote morphed — with stained and stinky, soiled diapers that not even a devoted mother could/ would change……………………
How I wish that I was clever or rich enough to photoshop……..
{I just hope that I don’t vomit when IT speaks.}
For a good belly laugh, here’s what himself has to say:
“Officials say Netanyahu will present evidence of continued Iranian efforts to attain a nuclear weapon, and will urge the US and others not to be taken in by Rouhani’s charm offensive.”I will tell the truth in the face of the sweet talk and offensive of smiles,” Netanyahu said on Saturday night before boarding his plane to New York. “One must talk facts and tell the truth. Telling the truth today is vital for the security and peace of the world and, of course, it is vital for the security of our country.””

Mr. Secretary, Mr. Obama, anti-Semites,
There are no words in Hebrew for war or hatred or nuclear weapons. Sadly, in Farsi, there are no words for peace, love and children. Contrary to the Iranians – we have no way of expressing concepts such as wipe or map or even pages and time. Ours is a language of hugs and cuddles, puppy dogs and hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream. If you allow Iran to attain nuclear capability, the whole world will need to learn Farsi in order to truly grasp the depths of their depravation. I ask you, no, I beg you, please don’t let that happen. For the sake of the kitty-cats, the little babies, soft lighting, Barry Manilow and all the things we hold dear – and they can’t even pronounce – stop that bomb.
Thank you
