Netanyahu is a war-wonger, criminal and despicable human being.

This statement is not very convincing in terms of praise for Netanyahu.

"We can see the Israeli Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu coming out with a very interesting statement that leaders should speak in public like they do in private whenever they can,"

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. To say that Netanyahu came out with a "very interesting statement" about the 2 faced nature of world leaders...is just that, it's interesting/surprising coming from Bibi.

"He believes that the result of this publication, which makes the sentiments of many privately held beliefs public, are promising a pretty good [indecipherable] will lead to some kind of increase in the peace process in the Middle East and particularly in relation to Iran," Assange said.

So Assange sees Bibi as trying to put some spin on a document release and saying that the leak is positive, politicians should be more forthcoming. I can only speak for myself at the moment and say that Assange is being hopeful about peace talks involving Iran and the Middle East. I really don't see this as evidence of Assange "praising" Netanyahu at all.

If anyone wants to jump in with another take on this please do.
