Netanyahu speaks before the US SENATE

Rush first then I went to Netanyahu's site ^ | April 10,2002 | Netanyahu address US Senate

[Green Knight]

I wish Bush would rise above politics and do the right thing, namely support Israel. I've been pretty disappointed in him the last few weeks. Though I'm still willing to give him a chance. The guy's probably playing things the way he is to give the Republicans a better chance of winning this November. If Congress is solidly in Republican hands, then I think that chances are he'll be more conservative than ever once he has a firm grip on things.

Anyway, GREAT speech by Netanyahu! Every time I hear this man speak I'm always impressed. Here's hoping that the next time Israel has an election Netanyahu will run and win.

Dear Bibi: Seek treatment, not power

[Salvation]

Here's hoping that the next time Israel has an election Netanyahu will run and win.

Ditto!

"That today a Europe which sixty years ago refused to lift a finger to save millions of Jews has turned its collective back on the Jewish State is downright shameful.

But my friends, I must admit. I expected no better from them.

Yet the America I know has always been different."

I sure hope this remains the fact. I think if we really force Israel to back down the blood of ensuing innocents' in Israel will be partially on our hands.

I hope Waffle Bush hears these great words over and over again, he might wake up from his lost war on terrorism and get back on track.

You are not an ex-snook, you still are a snook per your post #6.

Bump for this great speech.

Sorry to tell you, this is all one fight. Isreal is the proverbial Canary in the Coal Mine of Islamic terrorism. Further, they are a needed outpost in the ME with one of the very best and biggest militaries.

[usconservative]

America's first priority is America - but not at the expense of our friends.

Exactly right. Well said.

[Helms]

I suppose that Isreal is an ever present reminder of European Shame. Besides, my take on some of this is that Isreal, once peace is established will be the economic and military envy of Europe. It is already a glaring reminder of Arab failure, barbarism and intellectual vacuity.

[Lurker]

Of all the rotten things Clinton did, working to get this man defeated was the worst.

[swarthyguy]

Such clear articulation! His speech in Sept2001 before the US congress was IMHO one of the most stirring and intellectually coherent.

Thanks kay for posting the transcript.

The THREE primary reasons I supported bush at the outset were:

1. his stated anti-abortion stance

2. his stated support of Israel

3. his stance on cutting taxes and hopefully smaller government.

So far he has made SOME minor things move the way I hoped they would... but on all of them, WE could do more... and we must... right now, I want to see Israel supported unconditionally... "together til the end" like Tony Blair said to us, at the outset of the afghani operations. We need to treat Israel to the same kind of support, and "atta boy" rhetoric that we want when we do what is right against overwhelming odds.

What a clear thinker Benjamin is.

He speaks for me, one hundred percent.

[Robert_Paulson2]

yes. prescient comment by you.. as usual.

[Robert_Paulson2]

Start searching for audio links to this as soon as they become available. post me please

[Robert_Paulson2]

No confusion afterwords... no "what did he mean?"

I love the sound of "moral clarity."

We could use some more of it in DC.... TODAY, not next week, or next month.

[ImpBill]

Excellent point. Perhaps something Freudian here.

[jackbill]

I don't know that he didn't give this speech, but he DID NOT ADDRESS THE U.S. Senate today. I am there and it didn't happen. They have been debating the energy bill all day. Don't any of you watch C-Span? Perhaps he made these comments elsewhere. AdR

You are exactly correct. Netanyahu addressed "some Senators" in a committee hearing room. Every news item I've seen has said that "he addressed the Senate". That's Bull $hit.

I don't know how many Senators were present but I'll do a search and find out. I saw the preliminaries (maybe on C-SPAN) and John Kyl and one Democrat were there. As far as I know, they may have been the only Senators in attendance. Except for the nine Jewish Senators.

Netanyahu''s site.

Please let me know the address of his site. Thanks!

What a wonderful speach. It remined me of Churchill desperatly trying to warn the world about Adolph Hitler. And getting the same ho-hum response from Europe and American liberals.
