I’m still waiting on a reasonable explanation why we are funding this lunacy

STOP WASTING OUR MONEY OVER THERE. INVEST IN THE US PEOPLE.💯💯💥💥💥

US is destroying its relationship with all lovers of justice. 😢😢😢😢

Why are they allowing foreign minister to address our nation? Do they need more our tax dollars?

NEVER AGAIN meant NEVER AGAIN you monster.

"According to the Gaza health ministry" is all you had to say

So good to see the U.S. congress welcome Netanyahu into their midst, he gave a great address to congress and he thanked the U.S. for their friendship and support during Israel's suffering of the massacre of 1200 innocent Jewish civilians. Israel is the U.S. greatest friend in the middle east, where any American can go to any time and be treated with respect and have all the freedoms they have in their own nation. Netanyahu is the greatest leader from Israel to date and every decision he makes, he make for the entire nation and on behalf of the Jewish people. He has been fighting the battle for Israel since his youth and have selflessly given his life for the Israeli nation.

Why are you quoting false numbers again.

GOD bless amerika and GOD bless ISRAEL

[TheRealChuxter]

How is that diabolical prime minister not in a prison somewhere?

Israel is not the "roadblock to peace" in this fiasco. One side is going to achieve victory, no matter the cost. The other side is willing to sacrifice everything because they want war, no matter the cost. Victory in war usually means everyone loses and sacrifices.

[tigersforever]

Citing hamas casualty figures?! That certainly says it all.

[autobface]

I think you meant to say "War criminal begins high stakes Washington visit"

[RGAMBLER]

Israel has the right to defend itself from starving women & children.

[OfThePenAndSword]

If I was Netanyahu I wouldn't even show up. Considering that Biden is withdrawing from the race, I'd wait for the end of America's election. He's wasting time on this when he could continue his offensive against Hamas and Hezbollah.

[clothedinsalvation]

It’s easy to just put all of the blame on Israel, isn’t it?

[ZeynabDay]

"War criminal visits Congress; Gets standing ovation." There, fixed your headling.
