Glenn Beck Program May 24, 2011

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu

• In a speech to a combined session of the House and Senate, PM Netanyahu reiterated his stand that Israel will not return to the 1967 borders.
• He needed to say that because of what President Obama said in his speech he gave a day prior to PM Netanyahu’s arrival from Israel.
• The President’s view differs from PM Netanyahu’s.
• Glenn stands with Israel.
• Glenn feels that soon each person will need to know where he or she stands with respect to Israel. Glenn showed a short segment of PM Netanyahu’s speech.  This was the portion during which he said Jerusalem must never again be divided and must remain the capital of Israel.
• Glenn called attention to V. P. Joe Biden sitting behind PM Netanyahu not applauding while the rest of the chamber gave the PM a standing ovation.
• The UN vote is coming soon to establish a Palestinian state.
• The Wall Street Journal reported…

“Would be a visible show of Israel’s isolation on the international stage.”

o       Glenn feels that coming up is a “last call” – for good or for evil.
