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

Why are we allowing this man to address Congress? And why did anyone show up?

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.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago (2 children)

If we did we'd have to start handing over politicians lol

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Which is not a bad thing at all. Do the crime do the time. Am I right?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

You're absolutely right. However, when it comes to American foreign politics, glaring hypocrisy is not a bug, it's a feature.

over a hundred Democrat congresspeople boycotted the speech. The republicans had their staff sit in to make the crowd look full

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

Yup, shoulda sat in, then up and left when he started his speech.

Because his crimes against humanity feed the military industrial complex, to which both major parties are subservient.

Half of them were fucking clapping. It's surreal.

[–] [email protected] 231 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 126 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (13 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Oh honey, the USA has been committing genocide for hundreds of years. This visit is a return to form, not some sudden heel turn.

  • a near-total genocide of Native American populations
  • a near-total genocide of the Native Hawaiian people (90% population loss following colonization)
  • eugenics programs that inspired Hitler (literally not even a joke. This is history.)
  • using black folks for medical experimentation without their consent (Tuskegee, etc)
  • creating terrorists out of American citizens using the CIA
  • constant ongoing state sponsored violence against minorities and the disabled
  • 6 million excess deaths caused by the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan
  • millions of deaths in Cuba directly caused by American economic terrorism
  • egregious human rights abuses. Read up on how Uyghurs in Xinjiang are treated. Really weird how when it happens to American working-class citizens, it’s suddenly not a human rights abuse anymore.

I was told here that voting blue would fix it all. Republicans brought this monster in, will the victorious DNC do anything about it after November besides… hold their applause?

I think we all know the answer. History will remember them as collaborators.

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.

Total victory sure sounds like a final solution. I wonder where he borrowed that rhetoric.

[–] [email protected] 79 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

It's disgusting to me that anyone in our government allowed him to set foot in our capital. This bastard should be arrested and tried for his war crimes. He should be given no time to speak, and he deserves no audience.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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.

Yeah but being anti-genocide is the same as being anti-Semitic now.

Fuck this guy. He's a genocidal maniac

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 months ago

Patriotic Republicans who LOVE America AGREE with this Foreign War Criminal that Americans are Idiots!

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago

USA allows and celebrates a guy whose country is terrorising its neighbour to address Congress shortly after allowing another guy (Zelensky) whose country is being terrorised by its neighbour to address Congress.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago

Right before they let him take to the podium, they should have read the names of the hundreds of UN employees his ~~army~~ bandits have killed so far. As a "quick" placeholder for all the innocent victims of this war.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago

wow, what a huge piece of shit this guy is.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

Obligatory fuck this guy

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (2 children)

So when do we slam him back?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Since when is giving money and weapons to kill innocent people called ‘slamming’? Because that’s the only thing we do to Israel.

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Maybe he should go home

Nah, the Hague seems like a better destination for him.

Total victory! A final solution to the Gaza problem!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Gosh. I hope I never get denounced. That sounds horrible. I don't think I'd ever come back from that.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Should probably steer clear of the Civ games then.

How well does he think we react to people attacking our fellow citizens? I may hate my siblings but God help anyone that attacks them.
