STAR PARKER: Profile in courage

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at the invitation of House Speaker Mike Johnson, addressed a joint session of Congress last week.

The prime minister's job that night was to make clear to the Congress, to the nation, and to the world the what and why of Israel's operation in Gaza, following the murderous attack by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023, and why Americans should identify with and support Israel's struggle.

My heart went out to this brave and besieged leader as he made his case.

As I watched and listened, I thought of the words of another brave and besieged leader of the nation Netanyahu represents: King David.

I thought of the 23rd Psalm, authored by that great king and leader: "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."
