Mr. Netanyahu goes to Washington (Powerlineblog.com)

(Scott)

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a magnificent speech before an
incredibly supportive joint session of Congress this afternoon. The text is
accessible here and worth reading in its entirety. The educational value of
the speech is incredibly high for those who are willing to listen and learn.

It's hard to pick a highlight, but here is one passage that makes a point we
have frequently made here: "Of the 300 million Arabs in the Middle East and
North Africa, only Israel's Arab citizens enjoy real democratic rights. Now, I
want you to stop for a second and think about that. Of those 300 million
Arabs, less than one-half of 1 percent are truly free and they're all citizens
of Israel. This startling fact reveals a basic truth: Israel is not what is
wrong with about the Middle East; Israel is what is right about the Middle
East."

This is a great and Churchillian speech.
