“Bibi: My Story,” Benjamin Netanyahu on His Life and Times

 

Benjamin Netanyahu is the past and soon to be again prime minister of Israel. In his new book, Bibi: My Story, Netanyahu describes how he went from an Israeli American high school student in Philadelphia to a member of the Israeli Defense Force, detouring along the way to study architecture and get a master’s degree from the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1976. His studies were interrupted when his brother Yoni was killed in the raid on Entebbe, Uganda, which inspired Bibi to return to Israel and dedicate his life to protecting that state. This interview covers those events as well as his rise to the top of Israeli politics—multiple times.

Note to viewers: Be sure to watch to the end of the show after the end credits for some additional content that was shot after the interview concluded.

    A profound conversation. This was somewhere between stealing a moment between two men of history, and old friends comparing memories and views of the current state of tragedy befallen the world. Everything from the Laffer Curve to nuclear secrets to Shakespeare. I was really taken with the impact Netanyahu’s father had on him from his leadership to his writing. Thank you, Mr. Robinson for giving us a a view into history – both the past and what will come to pass.

    TOPSHOTS US President Barack Obama (R) meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, May 20, 2011. Obama announced on Thursday in his long-awaited speech on the “Arab Spring” revolts that territorial lines in place before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war should be the basis for a peace deal, a move Netanyahu has long opposed.
