Cant say i remember that specific viewing, but do remember Bibi being a guest on the program numerous times. He was incredible how he not only informed viewers and shared a perspective not being told to the American viewer. I have been a big fan of Bibi since that time.

Sad how nothing has changed in the past 35 years. As Rush said, same bullshit different faces

I might be mistaken as to the date and event in question. It was definitely not 1979 because Koppel didn't start until March of 1980. I remember it being about the Iranian Hostage crises, but I can't find any references to an appearance on Nightline during this period. That doesn't mean it didn't happen, but I did find references to his appearance on Nightline in 1984, so perhaps I've got the date and event wrong.

I remember he was contrasting Israel's methods of dealing with hostage takers and the United State's method of dealing with hostage takers, and all I could think of at the time was that I fully agreed with him that we ought to handle it the way Israel handles it.

In any case, Bibi handed Koppel his @$$.
