Very quick first impressions:
I give Netanyahu’s speech a 96. He spoke absolutely superbly, with great clarity, great, direct phraseology, great language, great power, and great moral authority.
He loses four points only because he spoke incredibly strongly for Israel, but not quite strongly enough, as Bill Kristol put it, “for the West.” Not quite enough universal themes, other than on the universal desire for safety.
But that’s almost nit-picking.
I’ll be eager to see other takes on it.
And I’ll have more to say, later, myself.
