Netanyahu: Let Arabs say the truth out loud
ynet ^ | 11/29/2010 | Attila Somfalvi

In meeting with journalists prime minister estimates WikiLeaks leak did not damage Israel, expresses hope that Arab leaders would tell their people what they say behind closed doors about desire for attack on Iran

"This is an historic day for the relationship between journalism and diplomacy," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday following the uncovering of hundreds of thousands of documents by the WikiLeaks website. In a meeting in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu told journalists "your job will become much harder to do, as will ours."

The documents revealed, among other things, that many Arab leaders called on the United States to attack Iran. "If the exposure causes the region's leaders to refrain from saying what they think in private talks, then we have a problem," Netanyahu said.

"But if the leaders make the statements publically there will be a significant change. When leaders are willing to tell their people the truth it promotes peace." The prime minister added that "peace based on truth has a lasting chance."

I really like Mr. Netanyahu. He seems to be a conservative, for one thing, and I sat at a table next to his once in DC. I can say unequivocally that he is also a very nice looking guy!

They've been having that one for 1200 years now. Only now they have the ability to wipe each other out.

Won't be much longer now.

Bibi has his stuff together. Very smart fellow.

His brother was Yoni Netanyahu, a Sayeret officer. He was the commander of, and the sole KIA casualty of Operation Thunderbolt- the rescue of a planeload of hijacked hostages from Entebbe Airport in Uganda in 1976.

Basil...you should see the photo Of BiBi in his fatigues! Much younger but quite the hunk of a man. No surprise he remains so now. Starwise has this photo and posts it now and then much to many our delight...;)

May end up world war rather than civil when it finally happens. But they will get it.

I met him at an event in DC several years ago and yes, he is a very attractive and charismatic man. Also: working brain parts. He has the most difficult job in the world.

Sorry to hear that he lost his brother in that way-—must have been very hard for him.

Truth? That’s an irony from a man who leads a government which has repeatedly committed espionage in the U.S. (its alleged “friend.”)

Except in Moslem countries -- tell people the truth and they behead you while screaming allah akhbar. Thanks FromLori.

It’s sort of a delicious irony that it may eventually develop that WikiLeaks has done more damage to journalistic corruption than to America.

Indeed.

On further reading- I find that both of them were Sayeret (Israeli special forces) officers.
