It oughta be good. Bebi represents Israel, which gives him a good start. Something like 10 million Americans are Jewish. I know a fair number of them, and everyone of them is behind Israel 100%. Many more Americans are Christian, and know their Old Testament. The Children of Israel are the good guys thru out, and this rubs off on modern Israel. And modern Israel is an inspiring story of bravery, hard work, entrepreneurship, and democracy. So Bebi has some stuff going for him.
And Bebi is a pretty good speaker. I watched him on TV a while ago. It was a travelog kinda show on public TV, about historical sites in Israel. Bebi was the tour guide. He knew all the stories, in Israel there is a story connected with every rock and stone, he told them well. I usually skip right over travelogs, but this one held my interest and I watched it to the end.
Presumably Bebi is going talk about Iranian nukes, and the need to stop them. Obama is trying to cut a deal with the Iranians. The terms of the deal are still secret, but enough has leaked out to show that the deal isn't much of a deal. The Iranians get to keep all their centrifuges, international supervision is weak to non existent, and the whole deal sunsets in 10-15 years, which means the Iranians can legally build a nuke in 10 or 15 years.
There is substantial support in the US Congress for laying more sanctions on Iran. Bebi may be able to energize that support into something real. Obama fears that this would queer the deal with Iran, which he seems all in favor of. Obama's relations with Congress are bad, and his speaking style now bores people. Babi might well get what he wants over Obama's objections.
Show starts in about an hour.
