The other day was a truly historic occasion. In times of crisis real leaders inspire and tell us hard truths. A leader is someone whose integrity and character enable him to speak hard truths, call others to do things they would rather avoid and stand firm in face of overwhelming opposition and lies. A historic hall filled with men and women who bear responsibility for their Nation and a leader they respected met for a session of facts and truth. Those who were absent will rue the day they failed to stand. Sadly, no noticed they were not there. The President’s bloodless and listless remarks were poorly noted compared to the sense of hope and firmness that the Prime Minister’s words stirred the hearts of all attending. Many have expressed the wish that “Bibi” was our President.
An Iran clique seems to be dominating the White House and it mystifies all of us. Iran’s professed intentions to eliminate the United States, Israel and all who do not submit to their Mahdist goals are consistent and have not changed. The Administration conjectures that in a decade that will all be past history and a more lovable and secular Iran will become the United States’ surrogate in the Middle East as we enjoy our Obama Care, food stamps and leisure time brought about by the real job numbers as the work force declines. As successful millionaires leave the country and the tax base plummets the current trends towards a new United States with socialist economics will scarcely allow for a world presence.
The reception Mr. Netanyahu received was genuine, heartfelt and unmistakable. As politicians sulked and pouted the reality of his words went deep. They are taking root and will bear a sturdy crop of firmness. In short you gave us some of your courage, sir. Thanks we needed that !
Those of us, and we are increasing in numbers daily, who support Israel are encouraged by the motivation we received from the brief visit. You are welcome in our Congress, our cities and our homes whenever you care to return. We may have a President, but our leader is the Prime Minister of Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu.
