Since the MSM will only play the part of President Bush’s speech to the Israeli Knesset that has Dems throwing a hissy fit, you can read the entire speech here (well worth the read). Excerpts:
My country’s admiration for Israel does not end there. When Americans look at Israel, we see a pioneer spirit that worked an agricultural miracle and now leads a high-tech revolution. We see world-class universities and a global leader in business and innovation and the arts. We see a resource more valuable than oil or gold: the talent and determination of a free people who refuse to let any obstacle stand in the way of their destiny. I have been fortunate to see the character of Israel up close. I have touched the Western Wall, seen the sun reflected in the Sea of Galilee, I have prayed at Yad Vashem. And earlier today, I visited Masada, an inspiring monument to courage and sacrifice. At this historic site, Israeli soldiers swear an oath: “Masada shall never fall again.” Citizens of Israel: Masada shall never fall again, and America will be at your side.
And…
America stands with you in breaking up terrorist networks and denying the extremists sanctuary. America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions. Permitting the world’s leading sponsor of terror to possess the world’s deadliest weapons would be an unforgivable betrayal for future generations. For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. (Applause.)
And how it’s playing over in Israel . . .
Haaretz: Bush to Knesset: U.S. stands with Israel, Masada will not fall again
Jerusalem Post: Bush: Hamas and Hizbullah will fail
Yedioth Ahronoth: Bush tells Knesset US ‘stands by Israel in war on terror’
