It was a good speech. Calling it Churchilian is a bit overkill, it's difficult to find orators with his linguistic skills and delivery, especially in our day and age; however, it was direct and powerful.
When he introduced the IDF soldiers who fought it pulled the heart strings. A man ran 8 miles with his rifle to protect his citizens, another man who lost a leg but pumped his fist a la Trump with some passion, perhaps just happy to be alive and still in the fight. Nothing appeals to me more than courage and it was nice to see the examples.
Was this a message to America to remember their values? Sometimes Americans forget and take for granted how vital civil liberty and religious foundations in their system matter. I would argue a Judeo-Christian foundation.
