Highlights From Netanyahu's Speech to US Congress

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a joint meeting of Congress the US must remain united with Israel in its war against Hamas, as many Democratic lawmakers boycotted his speech and police used pepper spray against protesters outside the Capitol. #politics #netanyahu #israel #biden #trump #harris

“For the forces of civilization to triumph, America and Israel must stand together,” Netanyahu told House and Senate lawmakers. “When we stand together, something very simple happens: We win, they lose.”

Netanyahu got several standing ovations as he spoke, reflecting the broad bipartisan support he retains in the US even as criticism has mounted over the war. About two dozen US lawmakers announced they wouldn’t attend to protest the mounting death toll — some 39,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza — and Netanyahu’s handling of the war in the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu delivered his speech at one of the most supercharged moments of recent American political history. Three days ago, President Joe Biden announced he wouldn’t seek reelection and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him. A week before that, a would-be assassin wounded former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.

I thought America was a free country, it's not

[ntokozosibanyoni]

This speech sounded better in the original German.

[dznews]

Reminiscent of a Kim Jong Un speech, simple statements followed by standing applause. All whilst washing his hands in the blood of innocent men, women and children.

If Israel belongs to Jews then America belongs to Mayans and Australia & Newzealand belongs to Aboriginal Tribes ?

The behavior of the legislative members of the world's largest democracy was shocking during Benjamin Netanyahu's speech, as most of them stood up and saluted the world's biggest terrorist, who has been declared guilty of war crimes by the International Criminal Court. Honoring Hitler II, the perpetrator of the Palestinian Holocaust, proves that they are complicit in his crimes. Today, my claim that America is the champion of democracy and human rights feels hollow. I did not expect this from Congress.

EVERYONE knows that he’s not going to stop until Hamas is gone and the hostages are returned. This is just a matter of fact. When Hamas initiated their attack on October 7 with this man in charge of the State of Israel, what did everyone think was going to happen?

[CERITADUNIA-ix]

The person speaking is the most cursed and despicable human being on the face of the earth
