So here’s the video of Bibi’s speech for those (like me) who missed it live. For those who want to see how a speech is made, have a watch. Poise, careful wording, balance between stressing the hopes and the perils ahead — it’s all there. I don’t agree with everything Bibi believes (or says he believes), but this was one of those times when I’m glad he’s our prime minister.
(The video is in four parts; I found a one-link video uploaded to YouTube, but it had simultaneous Hebrew translation that was a bit annoying. Daniel Sass of Efrat has uploaded the speech in four parts and, unlike many who do this sort of thing, didn’t miss a word. Kudos, Daniel.)
I have the whole thing – in one video, without any Hebrew -on my blog.

My sentiments exactly!
I agree, Bibi deserves a strong yasher koach for this one. Our politics may not always align but wow, can the guy deliver a speech.
Absolutely beautiful job by Netanyahu. He laid out the real security situation and the barbaric acts of the Palestinians in Gaza and “The West Bank”. He told how the Palestinians could work with Israel for their benefit, told them how easily there could be peace if they would just give up on trying to annihilate Israel and kill all the Jews. Great job Bibi.
