Speaking to a crowd of 3,000 Taglit-Birthright Israel participants from more than 15 countries in Jerusalem Wednesday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited young Diaspora Jews to go back to their countries and tell the truth about Israel. The prime minister's speech was met with a standing ovation, with audience members energetically waving their Israeli flags. Netanyahu told participants, "This is your homeland. This is where the Jewish People forged their identity until we were kicked out and then we did something no people have done in history, we refused to disappear."
