Israel's Reagan

Subject: txt israel msm -

"But to those who gave this Holocaust-denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people, the Jewish people, and decent people everywhere: Have you no shame? Have you no decency?"

-- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

He was blunt.

Direct.

Hearing him, the press corps gasped, literally and audibly.

No, the reference isn't to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent wake-up call at the United Nations. The man throwing cold water in the face of a somnolent world was Ronald Reagan.

"So, in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride -- of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil."

-- President Ronald Reagan

[snip]

Ronald Reagan made history by his unwillingness to gloss over the hard truths of his time. He told us that

"if history teaches anything, it teaches that simpleminded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly. It means the betrayal of our past, the squandering of freedom."

Today there is one nation, at least, that has a leader who understands this.

That leader would be Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel's Reagan.
