Similarities between Modi and Netanyahu Empty Similarities between Modi and Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s opening remarks at the American Enterprise Institute’s annual dinner on Monday, where he accepted the think tank’s Irving Kristol Award, perhaps summed it up best: "I am not used to receiving awards in Israel," he confessed to the host.

The comment, which drew laughter from the few hundred guests who had come specially to hear him, is indicative of the fact that the controversial Israeli leader might indeed be more popular in the United States than he is back home – at least in some circles.

And the accolades Netanyahu received at the glittery event, at which the Israeli leader had the stage and the microphone for nearly an hour, were not just in the form of overflowing compliments and rapturous applause but also in the overall atmosphere.

With the men dressed in well-pressed tuxedos and the women in ornate ball gowns, these Netanyahu aficionados waited for hours in the pouring rain to pass tight security to enter the National Building Museum, where the event was held.

Even the hundred or so pro-Palestinian protesters who had gathered across the street to air their displeasure over Netanyahu’s presence in Washington and his meeting earlier in the day with President Obama did little to mar the jovial mood.

But it was the standing ovation at the end -- even though dinner had still not been served -- that hinted to the fact that this neoconservative crowd will continue to adore Netanyahu no matter what.

Astonishing indeed.

Now you're just contradicting yourself, Comrade. Either Modi is popular abroad or he isn't. Make up your mind.

I didn't say he wasn't popular, merely suggested that his popularity abroad appears to be dwindling.
