Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu held an interview on YouTube on Wednesday, answering questions sent in by audience members worldwide.

Only an excerpt, didn't find a text for it all. Worth watching, especially the first 6 minute for clarity we seldom hear.

And how many times have we been told about the Libyan people choosing their own destiny?

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/world/jan-june11/libya1_03-29.html
SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON: We cannot and must not attempt to impose our will on the people of Libya, but we can and must stand with them as they determine their own destiny.

With the time and space that we have provided for the Libyan people, they will be able to determine their own destiny, and that is how it should be.

Theocratic regimes indeed!!!

Anyone with even a small amount of gray matter can see this eventual outcome.

When perfect justice judges these systems of governance, we know one outcome will prevail. Isn’t it ironic that the same people struggling so hard to intervene in the form of foreign governance, are manifesting evidence of for their future judgment.

Netanyahu looks reality in the face. He has to look reality in the face because Israel’s existence is at stake

Our elite, however, prefer their own fantasy world. The riots in the “Arab street” are a sure sign of burgeoning democracy. They’ll all soon be government just like Chicago.

And those in power, in and out if the White Hut, know this and are counting on it.

I loved how Netanyahu pointed out that the only place in the middle east that people are not protesting is Israel where everyone has rights and those protesting are just waking up to what they missed in the 21st century. the problem is not Israel. He wants to wake up the world about Iran and feels he has not done a good job but he is not the one to blame. Much of the blame goes to the leftist media, political correctness, the leftist garbage taught in schools, and the politicians who choose to kick the can down the road until it becomes a huge emergency.

Obviously there is wide support to replace secular regimes with radical, anti-American, anti-Israel regimes.
They share Obama’s agenda.
