The much anticipated speech by Benjamin Netanyahu is in progress; the only channel carrying the event live is al-Jazeera. Not CNN, not C-SPAN, but al-Jazeera.
As I listen to the Prime Minister, I am not surprised to hear revisionist history being told once again. According to Netanyahu, the core issue, aside from the 'imminent' threat paused by Iran, is the refusal of Arab states to accept the legitimacy of the Jewish state.
He had the courage to declare that if people are under the impression that the roadblock to peace is the Israeli 'occupation', he is about to disabuse those people of the notion.
