Elder of ZiyonThis is another very difficult category.
And the winner of the Hasby for Best Speech is...
All the entries were great, but we have to give the award to Harper.
It is one thing to hear a great pro-Israel speech from an Israeli diplomat or prime minister, or from known pro-Israel personalities.
But when the leader of a foreign nation unabashedly supports Israel, it is a breath of fresh air. When he frames his Israel support in moral terms, it shows his own morality. When he asserts that today's anti-Zionism is just a new version of antisemitism, it shows that he is unafraid of the truth. When he says that he takes the Iranian nuclear threat seriously, you can believe him. And when he says that terrorists who target Jews are the same ones that target all we hold dear, it shows that he gets it.
Félicitations, Stephen!
