I'll tell you exactly what the Right they say to the Lefties in Israel:
BiBi is so awesome! God bless him.
The attempt by many to describe the Jews as foreign colonialists in their own homeland is one of the great lies of modern times.
In my office, I have on display a signet ring that was loaned to me by Israel's Department of Antiquities. The ring was found next to the Western wall, but it dates back some 2,800 years ago, two hundred years after Kind David turned Jerusalem into our capital city.
The ring is a seal of a Jewish official, and inscribed on it in Hebrew is his name: Netanyahu. His name was Netanyahu Ben-Yoash. My first name, Benjamin, dates back 1,000 years earlier to Benjamin, the son of Jacob. One of Benjamin's brothers was named Shimon, which also happens to be the first name of my good friend, Shimon Peres, the President of Israel.
Nearly 4,000 years ago, Benjamin, Shimon and their ten brothers roamed the hills of Judea.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel cannot be denied.The connection between the Jewish people and Jerusalem cannot be denied.
The Jewish people were building Jerusalem 3,000 year ago and the Jewish people are building Jerusalem today. Jerusalem is not a settlement. It is our capital.
Great speech from a great man.
"Jerusalem is NOT a settlement. It is our capital."
He reminds me of Reagan. A lot. I cannot think of another world figure remotely close to his level of competence and leadership.

Benjamin Netanyahu expresses truth so very well. Stand strong, Bibl and Israel, for the sake of the world. Stand strong, America, against the terrorist loving tyrants taking over your own country.
Thanks for the post.
This whole speech winds up with talk of the great ideals that underpin our civilization. Yet most American Jews embrace socialism which is the antithesis of our civilization. Bibi should stop asking Americans to bleed for Israel until he has first convinced American Jews to stop embracing socialistic globalism.
--another hawkish speech from Bibi
--strongly suggests peace loving Palestinians are somehow attacking them
--brought up Iran again, oh brother...
This is the Bibi Ping List.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu smiles as he takes the stage to address the gala banquet of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual policy conference in Washington, March 22, 2010. Last week the influential pro-Israel lobbying group released a statement that called on the White House to take immediate steps to defuse tension with Israel over a settlement dispute.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Policy Conference dinner in Washington, Monday, March 22, 2010. Speaking to a crowd of nearly 8,000 pro-Israel activists including hundreds of congressmen and senators, Netanyahu did not budge from his position that building anywhere in Jerusalem is an Israeli right.
Props to Joe.
The only thing missing was his granny glasses. Maybe he'll whip them out for the meeting with Ozero.
WE LOVE YOU, BIBI!
Post #13 says it all. A Hunk and a punk.

In the address, Bibi says that he has a ring excavated from the Wailing Wall that is about 2800 years old and inscribed with his family name, Netanyahu.
May God bless Netanyahu and Israel.
Unfortunately he had to repeat the canard that Obama actually supports Israel, but one does what one must.
Wonderful speech, Mr. Prime Minister.

Bibi understands the majority of Americans are behind him.
Bibi speaks of his lineage going back 4000 years.
Obama can talk of his mother getting knocked up by an alcoholic Keynan 40 some odd years ago, and moving to Indonesia to live with Muslims. For the first time in my life I am embarrassed and ashamed of my country's "leaders".
This month, my father celebrated his one-hundredth birthday. When he was born, the Czars ruled Russia, the British Empire spanned the globe and the Ottomans ruled the Middle East. During his lifetime, all of these empires collapsed, other powers rose and fell, and the Jewish destiny swung from despair to a new hope the rebirth of the Jewish state. For the first time in two thousand years, a sovereign Jewish people could defend themselves against attack. Before that, we were subjected to unremitting savagery: the bloodletting of the Middle Ages, the expulsion of the Jews from England, Spain and Portugal, the wholesale slaughter of the Jews of the Ukraine, the pogroms in Russia, culminating in the greatest evil of all the Holocaust. The founding of Israel did not stop the attacks against the Jews.It merely gave the Jews the power to defend themselves against those attacks...Time and again the Israeli army was forced to repel attacks of much larger enemies determined to destroy us. Recognizing that we could not be defeated in battle, Egypt and Jordan, embraced the path of peace. Yet there are those who continue the assault against the Jewish state and who openly call for our destruction. They seek to achieve this goal through terrorism, missile attacks and most recently by seeking to develop atomic weapons. The ingathering of the Jewish people to Israel has not deterred these fanatics. In fact, it has only whetted their appetite. Irans rulers say Israel is a one bomb country. The head of Hezbollah says: "If all the Jews gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide." ...The future of the Jewish state can never depend on the goodwill of even the greatest of men. Israel must always reserve the right to defend itself... Iran's brazen bid to develop nuclear weapons is first and foremost a threat to Israel, but it is also a grave threat to the region and to the world. Israel expects the international community to act swiftly and decisively to thwart this danger. But we will always reserve the right to defend ourselves.Much more, very eloquent, and well worth reading. Of course, he didn't refer to Obama, Clinton, Mitchell, and the rest of Israel's US enemies by name, but neither does he need to.
