Netanyahu said that when “Israel acts to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons that could destroy Israel & threaten every American city, they are not only protecting themselves, they are protecting you.”

Bibi finally spoke before the US Congress, and it was even more ridiculous than anyone could have imagined.
Benjamin Netanyahu lauded US support for Israel’s war in Gaza but offered few details on ceasefire negotiations as he addressed a raucous joint session of US Congress that was boycotted by dozens of Democratic lawmakers and protested by thousands outside the US Capitol.
In a fiery speech in the House chamber, Netanyahu called for “total victory” in the nine-month-old war, dashing hopes among some that he would announce progress toward a ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages before his meetings with Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday.
Who was hoping for that? I guess “hoping” is different than “expecting” or “viewing as a possibility,” but the way it is used in that sentence it’s like someone was claiming that was going to happen.
I did not see anyone claiming that, or suggesting it was a possibility.
I’m pretty sure everyone knew exactly how this would go.
“We’re not only protecting ourselves. We’re protecting you … Our enemies are your enemy, our fight is your fight, and our victory will be your victory,” Netanyahu shouted, as House and Senate Republicans rose to their feet to applaud the Israeli prime minister.
Netanyahu also denied that Israel would seek to “resettle” Gaza when the conflict ended, but demanded the “demilitarization and deradicalization” of the territory, calling it his “vision for Gaza”.
And yet, Bibi’s close friend and future shadow president, Jared Kushner, has said that this is exactly what will happen, that Gaza is actually very nice real estate that the Jews will sell at very high prices.
Netanyahu also delivered a provocative message against critics of the war, pandering to Republicans as he called anti-war college protesters “Iran’s useful idiots”.
“Many anti-Israel protesters choose to stand with evil,” said Netanyahu. “Many stand with Hamas.”
I stand with Hamas. I don’t really think any of the college protesters do. It’s really a dumb talking point.
But these are all dumb talking points. It’s just total nonsense, all of it. He even did the rape and “burned babies” hoaxes.

With a genocide going on, you’d think he might have gotten fewer standing ovations than last time he came to order the US government around in person. But no. He broke the record with 55.
A PERSON CAN ONLY KISS SO MUCH ASS BEFORE THEY CHOKE ON SHIT.
A record 55 standing ovations for the President of the United States of Israel 🇮🇱

There are various comments one could make about this event, but on the whole, it feels like I’ve already said these things so many times that the event itself is more of a “see, I told you” type situation.

The US government is totally controlled by the Jews, and therefore our government’s foreign policy is directly dictated to us by Bibi.
This is all totally ridiculous, and unprecedented in human history. There has never been a time when the leader of a small foreign country comes to give directions to a much larger country. What Bibi does in these speeches to the US Congress is what a large state that has totally conquered and subdued a smaller state would do.
Remember: half of these people claim to be “America First.” If you ask them how they can be America First and also lapdogs of Israel, they will tell you that America and Israel are the same thing. If you ask how this relationship benefits the United States, they will call you an evil antisemite and then end the interview.
You can ask “why do we support Israel?” but you can’t ask for any details. You can’t ask any follow-ups. They just claim that American and Israeli interests overlap 100%, and any request for further details on how that is even possible is met with outrage and accusations of being evil for daring to ask such a question.
Here’s the full speech, if anyone cares:
