Netanyahu Gives Defense of Israel as 'Iran's Useful Idiots' Terrorize DC

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of the U.S. Congress in Washington on Wednesday for the fourth time in his storied life of service to the state of Israel. With this wartime address, he surpassed Winston Churchill as the only foreign leader in history to speak to Congress more than three times.

The visit effectively left Washington on lockdown mode, especially around the U.S. Capitol, as anti-Israel rioters roamed the streets. Some tore down the U.S. flag at Union Station and replaced it with a Palestinian flag, and thousands of others gathered to protest the prime minister's handling of the war in Gaza, burning American flags and vandalizing monuments.

The Capitol and surrounding area were on total lockdown with sidewalks blocked off. And there was a huge law enforcement presence, not only of Capitol Police, but also more than 200 NYPD officers. Pepper gas was deployed when some members of the crowd turned violent and refused to obey orders to move back from the police line.

Peoples lack of education is evident in what they say! We are so lost on an individual level, as much as we are as a nation! That what happens when you allow people to come to our country to let them undermine our core values and principles! This country was established by people who had GOD in thier lives! Im sure they all believed in GOD! We've become a nation of ungodliness molesting our children and each other! Repent and seek the words of JESUS for they are our only chance at SALVATION! Much LOVE to all!
