Boy, I have a crush on that Bibi...

An astute man with wise counsel. Far seeing as well as knowing the past. Perfect for this time in his vision.

There is a name for the doctrine that produces this evil. It is called totalitarianism.

Netanyahu, the Churchill of our times.

Thanks for the post. Bebe is right as usual. The man is a sage of our times and has a knack of communicating in a direct, simplified, understandable way on most subjects.

The Israelis would be wise to re-elect him Prime Minister methinks. I was particularly impressed by his (needed) diplomacy in 'telling Dubya off' re the Powell debacle.
