Netanyahu At AIPAC

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s speech at the AIPAC Policy Conference last night.

I have to admit: I love hearing him speak. The man has the gift of the gab.

Update by Brian of London: This quote stands out even though the whole speech is so good, picking out one paragraph is like choosing amongst one’s kids.

What will change this? One word: Democracy – real, genuine democracy. And by democracy, I don’t just mean elections. I mean freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of assembly, the rights for women, for gays, for minorities, for everyone. What the people of Israel want is for the people of the Middle East to have what you have in America, what we have in Israel – democracy. So it’s time to recognize this basic truth. Israel is not what’s wrong with the Middle East. Israel is what’s right about the Middle East.

When will our media and craven politicians learn that democracy is not just an election: it’s the whole host of freedoms necessary to allow a free choice. Israel is what’s right about the Middle East!
