My Heroes... Benjamin Netanyahu

I've been following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel for a while now. My childhood friend taught me a love of the Jews and of Israel. She lived in Israel, one year, and came home and told me all about it. I was in awe of her, and her courage. As the years passed, whenever I heard things about Israel from the media, I'd call her and arrange a time to meet, and we'd talk about what was the media slant and what was the truth. She could give specific examples of media lies because she had been there. I understood. I lived in Thailand, and my brother lived in Korea, and things happened in both places that were reported with an astonishingly inaccurate slant by the media. I chose Benjamin Netanyahu, this week, as one of my heroes after i read and heard his speech at the U.N. I don't want his job. Not ever. I am amazed by his courage, his strength, his clarity. He is standing where he needs to stand. I want to be that brave.
