This guy just walked into the capitol of the United States and criticized the American people for exercising their first amendment right. The audacity.
Netanyahu can get fucked. Like full stop. I have zero problem with any Jewish people who aren’t engaged in genocide. Love you guys. But those that are can get fucked from top to bottom. And he is.
Why are we allowing this man to address Congress? And why did anyone show up?
Republicans
And Democrats
Not as many
And isn’t there an arrest warrant for him? Oh right:
Netanyahu’s visit comes two months after the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, announced he was seeking an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
The US doesn’t respect the ICC’s authority anyway.
If we did we’d have to start handing over politicians lol
Which is not a bad thing at all. Do the crime do the time. Am I right?
You’re absolutely right. However, when it comes to American foreign politics, glaring hypocrisy is not a bug, it’s a feature.
What’s the downside?
Just that they have to decide to hand themselves over and that seems unlikely.
Right. Not just that, USA is allowed to invade the Netherlands, where The Hague is located, to protect American officials and military personnel from prosecution or rescue them from custody.

Because his crimes against humanity feed the military industrial complex, to which both major parties are subservient.
Ding ding ding
over a hundred Democrat congresspeople boycotted the speech. The republicans had their staff sit in to make the crowd look full
Yup, shoulda sat in, then up and left when he started his speech.
Fuck. This. Guy. Fuck. Israel.
Stand in my country and denounce my countrymen? No brah, fuck you & your country forever, balls deep.
And yet again we have congress members clapping like trained seals to debunked Israel propaganda and the characterization of anti-war protesters being in favor of the killing of civilians.
“My friends, defeating our brutal enemies requires courage and clarity. Clarity begins by knowing the difference between good an evil. Yet, incredibly, many anti-Israel protesters choose to stand with evil. They stand with Hamas. They stand with rapists and murderers. They stand with people who came into the kibbutzim – into a home – the parents hid the children, the two babies, in a secret attic. They murdered the families – the parents. They found the secret attic and then they murdered the babies. These protesters stand with them; they should be ashamed of themselves.”
*Thunderous applause, standing ovation

This is 2003 Iraq War levels of state-approved disinformation. I feel nauseated.
It’s must be like one long nightmare for Palestinians. It’s akin to the Great Tribulation, and the politicians who claim to believe in such things are way too happy supporting Israel. I cannot imagine the US standing much longer, not after this and everything else this country has done to the world. It has to end.
“Incredibly” indeed. I give no credit to his lies.
What of that is debunked?
Immediately after October 7th, there were various sensational and outlandish claims made by Israeli officials that babies were beheaded, put into ovens, murdered in their nurseries, and generally singled out and made to suffer with intentional violence. Since then, no evidence whatsoever has been provided to substantiate these claims and the majority of them have been dropped completely.
UN records indicate that one baby did actually die along with her family after Hamas fighters opened fire into a safe room in Kibbutz Be’eri (page 10), but there were no recorded cases where multiple babies were intentionally targeted and killed in the way that Netanyahu describes.
None of this is to diminish the atrocities that were committed on October 7th, but it is telling that Israel and Netanyahu in particular seem dead set on making the events on that day seem as barbaric as possible in order to somehow justify the large-scale massacring of men, women, and children that is happening in Gaza.
He is not specifically saying such things, what he says did happen. Some shit got debunked, but not what he says here. So… why call it debunked?
No, it did not happen the way he described it. Firstly, there was a baby, not babies. Secondly, the child was not secreted somewhere alone, found after the parents had been shot and then deliberately killed.
Netanyahu is deliberately embellishing the story in order to heighten the outrage over October 7th, and then trying to frame anyone protesting Israel’s ethnic cleansing in Gaza as a supporter of what happened. It’s disgraceful.
Maybe start with “anti-Israel protesters choose to stand with evil.” He’s taking about people protesting mass murder of civilians by Israel. Fuck that guy with a rotten pineapple.
No you don’t want the pineapple to be rotten, that would make it softer and marginally less painful.
How about salt-crusted?
Israel is not going to stop until all the territory of British Mandate Palestine is theirs, and all non Jews are removed from it, one way or another. As an American, it’s absolutely infuriating that my government is so committed to helping them do it.
Agreed! Israel is a settlement of homeless conservative assholes who have made it their priority to be as shitty as possible to their neighbors. None of what they call Israel was ever theirs. They’ve never had any legitimate claim on that region in all of human history.
About 100 years ago they were homeless and vulnerable, so the British allowed them to move from Europe into the Palestine region with the promise that they would be friendly and peaceful with the locals. But, they are arrogant conservatives, so they shat on absolutely everyone around them.
Israel deserves to be abandoned to deal with the horrific situations they have created with all of their neighbors. The Palestinians deserve our help in defending against these genocidal settlers.
He specifically said in this speech that Israel would not resettle Gaza. It’s maybe the first time we’ve seen him directly oppose the radical wing of his government that has advocated for it.
Well, Israel has proven that they are willing to build settlements in areas they are not supposed to, so forgive me if I don’t take him at his word. But, maybe Israel is willing to give up that narrow strip of land, if they can have the rest of Mandatory Palestine. I’d believe that.
He specifically said in this speech that Israel would not resettle Gaza
He was lying. That’s like breathing to fascists anywhere in the world, but especially the ones in Israel. If you like podcasts, I recommend you check out Bad Hasbara for hundreds of clear examples of this.
It’s maybe the first time we’ve seen him directly oppose the radical wing of his government that has advocated for it.
He IS part of that radical wing when it comes to Gaza. What the fuck do you think he means by “total victory”?
Hitler: I want that thing!
UK: nooooOOOO—All right you can have that but no more.
Hitler: I want that thing!— OverSimplified, 202x
Israel is not going to stop until all the territory of British Mandate Palestine is theirs, and all non Jews are removed from it, one way or another.
You’re aware that over 20% of Israel’s population is Arab, right?
“First, they came for the Palestinians, but I did not speak out, for I am not Palestinian…”
Yes, I’m aware there is an Arab, Muslim minority in Israel. They are the non Jews I was referring to.
Yes and members of the Knesset have proposed stripping them all of citizenship and deporting them. There’s many Jim Crow style laws on the books that discriminate against them, so using them as a prop to show Israel being moral somehow is stupid.
Do you have a source for that? I’m not aware of it and don’t want to be unknowingly defending them if that’s the case.
Yeah but being anti-genocide is the same as being anti-Semitic now.
It’s crazy to me that this dick bag rolled up into our capital and started shit talking the American citizens. Fuck this murdering bastard.
Fuck Netanyahu. I hope President Harris leaves him out to dry. Let him figure out how to defend his conservative shithole country from his rightfully furious neighbors.
Well, she happened to have another appointement in her book, so she didn’t have to sit right behind him all the time.

Cunt!
Fuck this guy. He’s a genocidal maniac
Patriotic Republicans who LOVE America AGREE with this Foreign War Criminal that Americans are Idiots!
Gross. Everything about him is gross. To me, he is the personification of every horrid Jewish stereotype. I can’t wait for him to drop dead; he will not be missed.
Right before they let him take to the podium, they should have read the names of the hundreds of UN employees his
armybandits have killed so far. As a “quick” placeholder for all the innocent victims of this war.Total victory! A final solution to the Gaza problem!
Maybe he should go home. Our protests have paved the road to change. If he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t need our protection in the first place, especially for genocide.
Maybe he should go home
Nah, the Hague seems like a better destination for him.
