Describing the whole picture of the region, Netanyahu said that "Israel provides a strategic service to Western values in an unstable region beginning with West India and ends with somewhere in North Africa". Netanyahu added: "At the heart of instability, Israel is the source of stability."

Netaniyahu is one of the few leaders in the west, that isn't afraid to talk about the elephant in the room.
Many treated Winston Churchill with ridicule and contempt, when he was talking about Germany during the thirties.

Ali, let me add one more of Netaniyahu's sayings: It always starts with threatening the Jews, but it never ends there.

Proper disclosure: I did not vote for Netaniyahu, but with every day passing, I have more respect for his wisdom and candidness.
