This is a good video, only 2 minutes and 45 seconds long and in the last part, around 45 seconds long, Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu speaks in Hebrew.
Note: I added bold highlights to denote words heard emphasized in the spoken discussion between Bloomberg and Netanyahu.
Michael Bloomberg is shown de-planing from El Al Airlines. Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu greets Bloomberg warmly, both men shake hands, then hug after Bloomberg has descended to the bottom of the plane's steps.
Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu formally and warmly welcomes Michael Bloomberg to Israel.
After welcoming Bloomberg as "a true leader, a true friend..."
Bibi continues: "... And the truth is, which you wanted to demonstrate by coming here, is that this airport is open and you can fly in and out of Israel. We protect this airport..."
Bibi says: "...There is no reason whatsoever for the mistaken F.A.A. decision to instruct American planes not to come here."
Bibi says: "...Where I stand, the Prime Minister of Israel, where you stand, anybody can stand. I think this decision only rewards the Hamas terrorists for nothing!"
Bibi says: "...You can fly in and out of Israel. And I hope that the F.A.A. rescinds this decision as soon as possible."
Michael Bloomberg says: "...Every time I come here I am reminded of history, of where my family comes from, of freedom and democracy. This is the only Democratic country in this part of the world... a true Democracy where everybody has a chance to express themselves and practice the religions that they want to practice in the ways they want to..."
Michael Bloomberg says: "...I would argue Ben Gurion Airport is probably the safest airport in the whole world to fly in and out of. This is a country that's been threatened since its existence back in 1948 when the United Nations created this country as a Homeland for the Jews. And Israelis know what it is to keep people safe."
I forgive Bloomberg for his ‘no large drinks’ idiocy... I’m sorry I fussed about it...
Why would Netanyahu support a filthy fascist pig like Bloomberg who wants to strip Americans of their weapons, their private property rights and make people chattel to tyranny?
The world is going nuts.
I don’t know if I’m quite that ‘mature’ just yet. I haven’t forgotten about the Pop-Cop. Bloomberg can be informative and useful, but he needs to be held into check every so often, recovering megalomaniac that he is.
Outstanding photo op. This is all just Obama getting back at the hated Netanyahu on behalf of his Muslim Brotherhood buddies.
British Airways has not canceled a single flight since the conflict began
They are one of a handful ...
Well, if it’s between survival of Israel versus American internal issues ... I think Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is going to pick the survival of Israel as the more important one ... :-) ...
“Well, if it’s between survival of Israel versus American internal issues ... I think Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is going to pick the survival of Israel as the more important one ... :-) ...”
Agreed. But Netanyahu needs to stop giving awards and accolades to the gun-grabbing, fascist pig Bloomberg if he expects support. Lose me and you lose millions of 2nd Amendment patriots.
Umm, because Israel isn’t the bastion of freedom like the low information types here think it is.
Same here
