Bibi, My Story

Product Information

Peter Robinson: But, sorry. You said you were a 19th-century man? Yeah, my father was a quintessential 19th-century intellectual, one of these great scholars of old, and that's the tradition that I was born. So he would, when I was young, when I was a little boy, I found my homework, my notebooks from history class in the fifth grade. And I see these fantastically learned essays about the Maccabees, about Hellenism and so on, and he clearly dictated it to me. I wrote it in my child's handwriting. So you know, I got A's history always. I got A's generally, but I got A's in history. So then he said to me, "You write, I'll edit." And then he said to me, "You edit," and he taught me how to write and how to edit. And at a very young age, I do both.

Bibi: My Story’ due out in November Netanyahu autobiography ‘Bibi: My Story’ due out in November

The cabinet ministers were already busy munching away, passing dishes to one another. It reminded me of the Shabbat Breakfast Club in the synagogue in Hull, Massachusetts. But Trump being Trump – a president of “inherent irreverence”, in Netanyahu’s words – colorful details of private meetings do make it to print. Peter Robinson: A few last questions here. Henry Kissinger once argued that after an especially disruptive or activist leader, and he wrote this after Margaret Thatcher left office, "A political system needs time to recover, and needs time to consolidate." Ze'ev Chafets on the Bennett government that succeeded you in 2021. Quote, "After more than a decade under Bibi, Israel needed a change." Okay, you know the argument. It runs from, "This is a remarkable man, but we can't take it anymore," over to, "Oh scandal, I don't know what he did, but why do we have to have more," to, "Bibi's older now." So how do you answer this argument? Here you are, you've been to the people of Israel and asked them to make you Prime Minister again, and they have said yes. What is the argument that Bibi can still offer, what service can you render the state of Israel that no one else can? Bob Menendez is alarmed. He is a Democrat, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee and a major supporter of Israel. He led the fight against the Iran nuclear deal. As so often in US politics, the red-blue divide is on display and Israel is there in the middle. Netanyahu castigates Clinton and Obama for purported messianism and naivety but says nothing of his own bad calls Netanyahu writes: “I could see that the video registered with Trump, at least momentarily. ‘Wow,’ he said. ‘Is that the same guy I just met in Washington? He seemed like such a sweet, peaceful guy.’Peter Robinson: So let me try a thought out on you. This is, I'm not sure, I'm not at all sure I'm right about this, but it strikes me as plausible. I'd like to hear what you make of it. Observation about American strategy. Since at least the Civil War, the American way of war has relied on superior materiel. Grant just grinds down Robert E. Lee, and that's how the Civil War ends. And in the Second World War- Israel’s politics are fractious and tribal. The far right grows as the left is decimated by the failed dream of the Oslo peace accords. Yet outside politics, things there are less fevered and acrid. Start-Up Nation has supplanted the kibbutz. Technology makes the desert bloom.

Netanyahu says he understands Putin’s resentments: “The opening up of Russia …revealed that Russia had fallen hopelessly behind the west.” Wow! This was such a fascinating memoir. I was a fan of Benjamin Netanyahu before reading this, but now I admire him even more. He has done so much to protect Israel and Jews. Bibi Netanyahu: Well, I describe one event that has crystallized, I pondered that too, and I asked, "Well, where did that come from?" So in my early childhood memories, I describe an event that took place in our neighborhood. We lived in a private home, one of the few private homes. My father was the editor-in-chief of the "Hebrew Encyclopedia", the equivalent of the "Britannica".Bibi Netanyahu: And inequality went down as our GDP per capita went up. And now it's superseded Germany's, by the way. So now we have a request. Unlike other news outlets, we haven’t put up a paywall.
