Terrific article! Thanks for pinging me! Lucky you to get to hear him speak, too. A very admirable man is Bibi.

Thank you for such a memorable presentation. Wish I was there.

What an interesting evening you had. We sit at a frightening crossroads in time, not only for Israel, but for the world. His analysis gives hope, don't you think? BTW, you are an excellent descriptive writer, OhioWFan!

He began with some light-hearted comments, including a joke about a Jew who was being fed to a very hungry lion by the Romans. You’ll have to trust me that it was funny! I don’t want to give away the punch line in case he uses it again.

That was a wonderful article, and I'm going to e-mail to some friends. However, you violated Free Republic Rule #137, which prohibits posters from referring to a joke without actually telling it. As much as I would like to see Bibi, I'll probably never get to do so. Would you deprive a poor Freeper of a good joke?

Thanks for the ping.

You lucky dog!....Im so envious....is he as good lookin in person as on tv?.....thanks for sharing your wonderful evening.

Thanks, McLynnan!

Yes, it really does. He gets it down to the basics......terrorism can only be defeated when democracies take command, destroy the terrorists, and plant the seeds of democracy.

It can be done, and we have the President who has the will and the courage to do it! Netanyahu believes it, and so do I!

Thank you so much for pinging me!! Thank you for sharing!! I'm glad someone got to enjoy it. I'm wondering if perhaps we'll be able to hear the audio of it through Townhall.com. Also, how is our beloved home state of Ohio?? I really miss the Midwest. Virginia is beautiful and lovely, but it's not the same as Ohio for me!

[ohioWfan]

Thank you, and you're welcome! It was an incredible evening!

Oops! Is ignorance of the law an excuse in this case? LOL!

I tell you what. I have to eat supper, and after I'm done, I'll come back and tell the rest of the joke, OK?

[ohioWfan]

is he as good lookin in person as on tv?.....

Well, I didn't get extremely close, but I would say.....yes. Maybe a bit shorter than I expected, but his speaking voice is remarkable!

[patriciaruth]

Thanks, Ohio!

FYI ping for Niner.

[NativeNewYorker]

Thank you.

[riri]

Oh, I'd be in some kinda trouble if they let me spend an evening with Bibi...

[anniegetyourgun]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, OWF! How wonderful to read a real report instead of the drivel we might (or might not) get out of the so-called journalists in the lamestream media.

His answer of "the last one" (president) is a crack up! That reminds me of when I heard The Baroness Lady Thatcher speak and she took questions. She was asked "what do you think of Hillary Clinton." Her response was simply, "I don't."

Sounds like a good time was had by all!

[LaBelleDameSansMerci]

Thanks very much for taking the effort to post this report.

I wonder what John M. Ashbrook----who dedicated his life to championing the politics of freedom, and the principles and practices of limited constitutional government--would make of the domestic and foreign policy of the Last Remaining Superpower on Earth?

Also I'm quite surprised--shocked actually--to read that Netanyahu, whom I had considered somewhat intelligent--said this:

"...In the first half of the twentieth century, the philosophy of Kant was not practiced, and totalitarian regimes were permitted to rise up to power without being checked by democracies...."

This is a shockingly stupid assertion. The totalitarianisms of the Twentieth Century are unthinkable without the ideology of democracy.

I'm beginning to think that Israeli Jews, who are involved in a genuine culture war, are filled with contempt for Americans. And when they are weary they can't hide it and say really stupid things hoping we won't notice if they sugar it with all the slogans and buzz words that we, supposedly, like to hear.

It seems to be working however. So perhaps we have earned their contempt....
