Benjamin Netanyahu:Where have all our statesmen gone?

[Andy A]

The speech to the joint houses of Congress by Prime Minister Netanyahu this morning on the Israli-Palestinian situation was a jewel in the crown of diplomacy and statesmanship. He spoke for just over an hour and laid out the Palestine-Israel conflict clearly and succinctly. If you missed it, try and pick up at least the highlights of the speech.

Describing an entire group of religious people as a cancerous tumor on society isn't criticism in my book, it's hatred and intolerance. You might have different standards than I do.

There is much more to Israel than their religious affiliation. Maybe Bob's still pissed over the bombing of the Liberty, who knows?

The whole region is religiously insane. There are no good guys.

It's no different than the history of manifest destiny. I am intolerant of lies.
