Richard Haass: Netanyahu’s Speech Was ‘Almost Reaganesque’

‘It was quite clever, powerful’

EXCERPT:

HAASS: “Look, there were some good lines in the speech, the one you played at the beginning. It's not a clash between civilizations, but between barbarism and civilization, I thought was a powerful line. I also like when the prime minister had several Israeli soldiers stand up and you saw one was from Ethiopia, one was a Muslim -- it actually showed the diversity of Israel society, implicitly putting a lie to the claim that somehow this was this white country colonizing the -- the Middle East. I thought that was almost Reaganesque. It was quite clever.”
