What an intelligent, genuine, factual, thoughtful, meaningful speech. I cannot find enough poignant adjectives to commend Mr. Netanyahu for this effort. Indeed, his references to the Holocaust were right on target. The world constantly must be reminded of the truth regarding the Holocaust. Israel must be regarded as the Jewish State of Israel in the homeland of the Jewish people.

Part 2 must be located since part 1 was posted twice.

I notice that the UN was mostly empty during this speech. That made me feel ill inside.

Mr Netanyahu's words will be analysed scrupulously at the highest levels by the authoritarian, totalitarian professionals. A mighty good speech, very intelligent, very direct. A first in so publicly laying blame where blame is due, for so long time. Far better lots of empty seats so the message gets through to us, individuals of the free world, loud and clear. I'm happy Israel has such a capable, communicative premier in so troubled times.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a very smart and articulate man. I wish we had a man like him to be our president. I am very saddened and apalled to see our administration pushing to divide Israel. I wish they would read the Bible to see what God has to say about this. The decisions that our government make affect all the people of the USA. I would believe that the majority of people in the US love the jewish people and love Israel so I hope they do not feel this is a reflection of the heart of all the American people.

I'm proud of Israel's Prime Minister who ventures to say the truth about historic facts and present threats in public. I've never heard such a bold openness by a politician. May the Lord bless him and the people of Israel!

Now Netanyahu this is a great speech. As you point to the past and ask all to learn from it I am asking you to stop giving land for peace it is not working. Learn for the past.
