Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged in a scathing speech to Congress to achieve “total victory” against Hamas and criticized American opponents of the war in Gaza as “idiots.”

This guy just walked into the capitol of the United States and criticized the American people for exercising their first amendment right. The audacity.

    Seeing Congress applaud him for his mad rantings really reminds me of the rubber stamp parliaments in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union filled with acolytes who mindlessly clapped the Great Leader.

    What the fuck is wrong with the US?

      Having its own descent into fascism. You got two choices in the coming election, both of which are supporting eugenics at home of various disabled and minority groups and funding genocide abroad. You get to choose if you bother to help defend your allies or not.

        Trump is absolutely worse than Kamala for Palestine by orders of magnitude.

        What’s happening over there is horrible, but don’t for a second, peddled the lie that our two choices are the same right now.

        That’s tankie talk, and I won’t sit by and let it happen.

    Imma exercise my first amendment right:

    Fuck you, Bibi. You’re a fucking genocidal fascist. You are only making life harder for Jews all over the world (because lots of people don’t fully understand the difference between Israel and Jewish people), and most of those Jews are pretty fucking pissed at you as a result - not to mention, the vast majority of non-racist people. You’re going to be remembered for your crimes against humanity, and that’s it, you fucking sandwich-filling psycho.

      the icc is trying to but the us & the uk are working hard to prevent it; probably more, but these are the only 2 to public acknowledge their efforts to thwart international law to enable a genocide.

    Speaking for nearly an hour to frequent applause from U.S. lawmakers, as well as stony silence from many leading Democrats

    It’s really not a good look to be applauding this corrupt, mass-murdering, genocidal egotist.

    he tries to walk in Zelensky’s footsteps but fails on so many fronts: while Ukraine was the victim of oppression, Israel state is the source of it, ICC issued warrant for Putin and… Netanyahu (it’s interesting how US chose to ignore court order).

    Hamas and Israel state work towards the same goal - maintain instability for their personal gain. Anybody glorifying Hamas is either stupidd or naive, so are people glorifying Israely army. To be solved this conflict requires new powers to arise on both sides that are ready for dialog and tired of fighting and able to sidestep existing powrr structures (or demolish them).

    Netanyahu can kiss my ass. I wish I could have gotten a plane ticket just to go protest him.
