Netanyahu's Speech

DrewM over at ace's has an excellent post about the speech. He touches on the points I would, if I was a coherent writer. However what struck was the link he provides to the Washington Post story, if look at the slide show accompanying the article you will see this message, typical Israelis (Jews) could care less about the speech, religious Muslims are holding their breath listening to the speech to see what is their fate, and also Israelis hate Obama and think he is anti-Semite. Seriously. The photography is midblowingly biased. Pretty disgusting in fact, but that's not new.

I loved this part, Netanyahu dispelling Obama's explanation that because of the Holocaust Israel was established:
There are those who say that if the Holocaust had not occurred, the state of Israel would never have been established. But I say that if the state of Israel would have been established earlier, the Holocaust would not have occurred. This tragic history of powerlessness explains why the Jewish people need a sovereign power of self-defence.
