Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress last week at the invitation of House Speaker Mike Johnson.
The prime minister’s job that night was to make clear to Congress, the nation, and the world the “what” and “why” of Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip, following the murderous attack by Hamas terrorists Oct. 7 inside Israel. Why, for example, should Americans identify with and support Israel’s struggle?
My heart went out to this brave and besieged leader as he made his case.
As I watched and listened, I thought of the words of another brave and besieged leader of the nation Bibi Netanyahu represents—King David.
I thought of the 23rd Psalm, authored by that great king and leader: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,/Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
Perhaps it is…
