"…I took part in wars., I lost close friends and a brother. I saw the pain of bereaved families close, up front, many times. I do not want war. No one in Israel wants war."
Rats, I’ll be at church! If there’s a link to an archive, please post it.
In Hebrew? English? Simultaneous translation?
Can’t tell from the site. Looks like primarily Hebrew.
Can we rely on this as the authentic speech?
If so, Bless you Bibi and Israel.
Stupid question: Will he be speaking in Hebrew?
Bookmark!
Thanks for posting this thread.
God Bless Israel and Bibi!!
ping for Bibi- FOX just announced they’ll cover it live...”shortly”...
I don’t expect to be impressed at all by his speech. But we’ll see.
Isn’t he supposed to make a concession to Obama and this admin has already said its not enough??
1:10 pm,still nothing.
Barry on the phone giving BB shit?
BTTT
Cringing as I watch him. PLEASE Bibi, stay stong and don’t give in to the First Imam Obama Al-Husseini. He does NOT represent the will of the American people, but rather a Manchurian Candidate who snuck into power using an economic prextect, but who will soon be exposed and dethroned by the American people. BE STRONG and keep building homes for Jews in their homeland.
I’m very interested in this part. Where he’s saying what is the root cause of this problem. I wonder what he thinks it is.
I’m watching but keep getting kicked off.
How do ya like them apples, huh?
Love, Bibi

Sounds like the 0ne got smacked down. I didn’t see the speech, just kept refreshing here. Thanks to those that kept me updated! :)
Ok here’s what I think. Sorry for any bad grammar/misspellings.
I cringed at all the nonsense about solar power, tourism, inviting foreign Arabs to help the Palestinians. Wonderful, more enemies in Judea & Samaria making them richer. Please.
I like that he said that emnity against Israel isn’t just over Judea & Samaria but against everything. I don’t like his making it seem that this is a Palestinian problem in particular, since they all feel this way. Including Egypt, which he praised.
I like that he seems to be coming out against withdrawing. I don’t like how he spoke of the uprooting of the Jews of Gaza like it was a noble gesture met with bad faith from the Palestinians. It was not a noble gesture, it was immoral.
I like how he insisted that Israel is a Jewish state. I don’t like the mad obsession with getting Arabs to mouth the words “we recognize Israel”. Even if you somehow twist their arms to say it, no one does. So what has been accomplished? Spare me these idiotic “victories”.
I like that he came out against the right of return of Palestinians & his emphasis that this land is our heritage. I don’t like what he said about the holocaust. Again, he is still connecting us to the land because of persecution of Jews. This is our land even if we were the most privileged people in the world. Pogroms or no pogroms. This is our holy land. Does anyone believe in our religion anymore, or is everything based on secular premises & themes?
When he says he wants the palestinians to live next to us under 2 different flags, he means in Judea & Samaria? *@#*#*@ I know he doesn’t mean Jordan since he just praised them for “peace”. (gag)
So now he says the palestinian state that he just said he supports, must be totally disarmed. So he is in favor of basically the same as we have now, an eternal occupation of Palestinians on our land. I know that he’s laying out conditions that are unacceptable to Palestinians in the hopes that they will reject it & we can continue doing what we are doing now (which is nothing). I didn’t need some speech to know this about Israeli “policy”.
I like that he says Jerusalem must be united & our capital. Although when he says “religious freedom for all”, I know that means we should forget about ever taking down that abomination that sits over our temple.
“No intention of expropriating additional land” what disgusting language. He accepts their premise that this is Palestinian land & the settlers are “expropriating” their land.
He shows his delusion again when he claims that a better economy would strengthen Palestinian moderates, whatever that means. As if more money would make Palestinians accept that Israelis are on their land. Get real, please.
Praising Begin & Sadat as if that is something to be proud of. I bet he imagines we will be praising him in the future for Hebron. Well not me.
& I heard that cursed word peace one too many times again.
GREAT speech.
He quietly contradicted Obama’s Cairo address which was basically the Arab/Muslim narrative of Israel’s illegitimate creation. He stated in no uncertain terms that the settlers are pioneers not villains and that the settlements are NOT the obstacle to peace.
With the English simultaneous translation I could not hear for sure if he ever used the word “medinah” (state) to describe the Palestinian territory that could be created. I do not think he did. I think he referred to it as territory refusing to call it a state.
He traced Israel’s legitimacy to God’s gift, Israeli presence there over millenia, and Zionist aspirations from Hertl’s time.
He said - the Holocaust was not the cause of the founding of the state, it was the lack of the state that caused the Holocaust.
Now that was a speech! Go Bibi!
