I believe Bibi’s speech will be one of the great ones recorded in history.

I saw this article and it helped me understand why Bibi has the resolve. http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/what-you-need-to-understand-about-benjamin-netanyahu-and-his-position-on-iran/

From the article, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to the United States this week to speak before Congress at the invitation of House Speaker John Boehner. His speech, focusing on the threat of Iran and their nuclear ambitions, has deeply divided Congress as Democrats in both houses rushed to show their loyalty to President Barack Obama and his policy of negotiation toward the often fiery and apocalyptic state.

Netanyahu, not easily swayed by the faux outrage and political pressure, made this trip as relations with Israel have reached a low point and will most likely grow colder by the end of this week. His resolve regarding the speech, in the face of so much pressure, mirrors his overall stance and conviction about Iran. It is firm; it is decisive; and it is shaped by a very personal knowledge of his enemy.

It is firm; it is decisive; and it is shaped by a very personal knowledge of his enemy.

To better understand Benjamin Netanyahu’s firm conviction, and the man himself, you must know his brother – Yonatan Netanyahu.

Yonatan “Yoni” Netanyahu was born in New York City in 1946 and spent a good portion of his childhood in a lush and sprawling town outside of Philadelphia. His childhood was filled not only with two younger brothers, but with plenty of good natured roughhousing. As the older brother, he would beat up on his younger brothers, especially Benjamin, to toughen them up.

In 1964, just after graduating from high school, Yoni joined the Israeli Defense Forces and excelled as a soldier and student. He would soon be given command of a paratrooper company and led his troops in Sinai and the Golan Heights during the Six Day War in 1967.”
