Israeli PM Netanyahu Praises Beck for Defending Israel: 'You've Never Flinched

On Sunday, Glenn Beck was honored in New York City at the Zionist Organization of America's (ZOA) Justice Louis D. Brandeis Award Dinner for his ardent defense of Israel. But the ZOA wasn't the only one singing Beck's praises. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also recognized Beck's efforts.

"I also want to congratulate Glenn Beck for winning the ... defender of Israel Award," Netanyahu said. "Glenn ... you stand for a lot. You too have been fearless in defending Israel against the slanders that are hurled against [it]. You've done that with considerable personal cost, but you've never backed off, you've never flinched, you've never walked away. And I want to tell you how deeply we appreciate this stand of courage and integrity."

We published audio of Netanyahu's comments earlier in the day but are currently working on obtaining a better clip, so please check back. In the interim, below is a segment from Glenn's radio program Monday where he speaks about the event and the Israeli Prime Minister's comments:
