He is clinging to power and prolonging the war to protect the end of this PM.

All he is doing is ensuring hamas will survive for generations to come. That will be his legacy.

If ever there was a telltale sign that the US political system has become morally bankrupt, having this war criminal strutt around and lecture Americans is it!
TaiwanIsNotChina
This beggar and criminal should not have been allowed in the United States.

Netanyahu doesn't want a solution to the problem. He created the problem in the first place by covertly backing Hamas, guaranteeing no progress to a two state solution.

All people are cheering just like employees cheering their boss,but they work for American people right?
Just check how much they got.

Billions of tax payer money being diverted to that country, what tax payer really get in return?
Better schools? Better health care? Better infrastructure?

The Taiwanese 'government' supports this war criminal. Food for your thought.

Why did Democratic leadership (Schumer and Jeffries) agree to this idiotic move? Being pro-Israel doesn't mean having to be pro-Netanyahu.
Bibi is as reviled by American Jews as he is by Israelis.
He said Iran, actually.
Again, being critical of how Israel is carrying out its military campaign in Gaza doesn't mean supporting Iran.
What a dishonest, disingenuous schmuck.

He truest is a demonic creature, no doubt a psychopath who of course lacks empathy for anyone. He needs to be removed and Israel needs decent leaders who don’t kill en masse whilst at the same time bawl endlessly about antisemitism that is usually just in their mind.
bass4funk
They did the right thing, even if you don’t like the man he is a guest in the U.S.
Some, not all
He said Iran, actually.
Why???

Did he bring people in the US closer together or emphasize divisions?
He's an evil troublemaker.

While American Jews overwhelmingly support Israel, nearly two out of three say they are uncomfortable with actions taken by its government ...
Jews in America no longer trust Netanyahu's abilities, poll ...
Most Americans (53%) have little or no confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ability to make the right decisions ...

In fiery speech to U.S. Congress, Netanyahu vows total victory in Gaza and denounces U.S. protesters
As usual, one of the greatest speeches Congress will hear.
The US will keep supporting Israel because we are on the right side of morality and humanity.

Its very sad that he is lauded in congress whilst at the same time they out Mr Putin in a wanted list. Which one killed the most kiddies?

Why does not Netanyahu have 100% American and Israel Jewish support? It's less than 20%.

I can’t believe anyone would think he’s a decent fellow, his record over the years is appalling. He has no redeeming qualities that I’ve seen.

Well, they can think that, they can’t vote and it doesn’t what they think in the U.S.. In Israel the guy has shown what a strong leader is.
I don’t believe that, but he’s got my vote.

I think he’s awful and I’m certainly not loony left you see. He’s just vile and the things he’s said over the years show that, especially the ones secretly recorded.

Great job eliminating everything including the children and innocents and all the infrastructure. Total blitzkrieg, I know another man who did similar a few decades back.

Indicted war criminal of the ICC.
This is the absolute height of hypocrisy from the experts in that art.
dbsaiya
70% disapproval rating back home, and doing everything he can to avoid criminal prosecution. This article doesn't mention what TV footage showed, which are many Jewish protestors in support of Palestine. One notable sign was Judaism - Yes, Zionism, genocide - No.

Netanyahu a "guest in the country " someone writes'
Guests dont call hundreds of thousands of Americans "useful idiots " because they oppose Genocide.
"Guests " dont use the opportunity to launch into bat crazy speeches lauding slaughter.
Usually, foreign leaders invited to speak in Congress or Parliaments take a measured tone and speak of past events that solidified friendships and what the future may hold for these friendships.
To coincide with Netanyahu's arrival in the US, many prominent Israeli and American Jews penned letters of condemnation of Netanyahu, the war in Gaza, the failure to achieve a fraction of the outcomes sought....first being the release of hostages.
They also spoke of the humanitarian catastrophe that Israel has made in Gaza.
But even before this ,months ago, a former head of Shin Bet {spelling ?} wrote
"We {Israel and Jews } are losing our identity as people, as Jews, and as human beings "
The changes the world wants will come from within Israel.
More power to Israelis' of conscience.
GuruMick
And the "Iran bad " trope is designed to shift attention from the occupied territories and Israeli intransigence in denying International Law.
TokyoLiving
Genocidal corrupt war criminal..
Concerned Citizen
Netanyahu and his cronie's judgement will come one day, whether in this life or the next....and it won't be pretty.
《Proverbs 11:21
...the wicked shall not be unpunished.》
Capuchin
And his legacy will be that the largest security failure in Israeli history happened on his watch. Maybe if he weren't so focused on stealing Palestinian land in East Jerusalem and the West Bank and dodging a mountain of corruption charges he'd have been able to guarantee the safety of his own people.
dbsaiya
As someone previously mentioned, guests don't call their hosts "useful idiots." This is an election year and those "useful idiots" could well determine the course of U.S. foreign policy by whom they elect as the new president. Bibi is kinda bobo on this. No wonder his poll numbers in Israel are tanking. Enjoy talking to the other criminal when you visit Mar-a-lago Bibi.
TaiwanIsNotChina
The entire OECD supports Netanyahu on some level. And no need to put government in quotes as Taiwan's government is more legitimate than the PRC's will ever be.

Israel's Netanyahu addresses US Congress | Full speech live
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agkuHjAfLFY
Full and unedited.
There can be no doubt where Congress loyalties lie, with Israel and yes unequivocally Benjamin Netanyahu government.
The Netanyahu speech was impassioned wholehearted scathing, litter with the horror of 7th October atrocities. In Congress were a number of the released hostages, families of American hostages also attended.
It was a powerful political moment. President Joe Biden was thanked for his administration support.
Could that same support be forthcoming if Kamala Harris wins highest office November 5th?
GuruMick
When Kamala wins , you mean.
The US and the world dont need another Trump experiment.
Trump cant even distinguish between his desires and the restrictions the Constitution puts on those desires.
Founding Fathers of the US were pretty savvy.
CS
His team needs to coach the U.S. Presidents on how to give a great speech!
theFu
The Dems against this are wrong. They don't understand religious terrorists. Don't let any be left, whatever it takes. That's the only answer. Anyone who threw a rock, pointed a gun, shot rockets, at Israel - whether they hit anything or not - need to be dealt with.
To end the war that Hamas started, it is easy. Return all the hostages unharmed. Hand over the Hamas people responsible. The people in Gaza know who they are. Hiding them in hospitals and schools and where "non-combatants" are, just gets more innocents killed.
Hamas started this.
Go Netanyahu, until there is no Hamas left in Gaza. Period. None.
stormcrow
I’m anti-war but I’m NOT pro-Hamas.
Those pro-Hamas demonstrators should dealt with harshly.
theFu
War is terrible. The idea of a limited war is something only democrats insist on, until it is clear the war is over. A war is over then the enemy has either no capability to fight or no ability to fight. How each of those goals are achieve are 100% up to Hamas. The war will only continue as long as they insist. Getting your people killed is not good.
Yrral
The Fu,you do not understand,it an international revolution against Jewish occupation of Palestine, people of all corners are fighting for a free Palestine and Jews are outnumbered and cornered
Yrral
It obviously some Jews do not learn from history,when people say they had enough of you ,they better take this as warning
Ricky Kaminski13
Useful idiots indeed. And they are a dime a dozen.
Zero surprises there either. Star, cold, glaring, trying to intimidate…..scary , scary.
R B Quinn
The hypocrisy of it all … the ethnic cleansing of Palestine started by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and was carried our by every single prime minister since.
Israel, enough already!
Gene Hennigh
It seems to me that the most imperative factor in this was is the release of hostages. Alive. Quite a few have been found dead, and Israel mistakenly killed some on their own. Get the hostages out. Shouldn't the right thing to do be to get the hostages out? There isn't really much else that matters. With them released, this war might peter out of its own lack of reasons to fight. Is this guy trying to get them out? That's all I care about, and it sure seems that he's not giving that much thought,
GuruMick
Israel holding a thousand times more hostages than Hamas.
No trial, so called "crimes " kept secret under military law.
No access to lawyers or Civil Courts.
Often tortured .
So it's not simply about Israeli hostages held by Hamas, many of the remaining I suspect are or were soldiers .
And bottom line, I believe the powers that be in Israel knew about the al Aqsa flood attack on Oct.7 days before it happened.
They allowed it to happen.
The end goal was ethnic cleansing of Gaza and reclamation of the Gaza strip.
Peter14
And the supporters who stand with Israel know that many, many more babies and children have been murdered by Israeli forces since Oct 7th throughout Gaza. This makes Israel far worse than Hamas by orders of magnitude.
The Israeli leader is a murderer guilty of actual genocide. Hamas is also guilty of crimes but they fight occupiers so that their people may once again know freedom in their own lands. Israel is just being led by dirty criminals.
GuruMick
Meanwhile in Paris, at a qualifier for the football, Israel played Mali for a 1 all draw.
Some minor protests at Israel...nothing major.
What made me ill was the sight of Israeli tourists in France, supporting a football team comprised of 100% ex military, all smiling and cheering.
Back in Gaza, no one is smiling, people are dying and now polio has emerging
Israelis' are God's chosen people ?
Not my God.
RichardPearce
It's no wonder Trump wants to be photographed with Netanyahu, it's one of the few times he comes off as the more rational, truthful, reasonable one in the shot.
itsonlyrocknroll
The majority of JT commentors will never accept or sympathize with a single word of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu address speech to congress, a few even view politicly the Jewish people as entrenched abomination to banished without mercy.
Many believe the 7th October is justifiable, the atrocities to be a right or reasonable retribution.
Pro Hamas, "from the river to the sea" free of the "Jew".
I would think about that, very carefully, I would contemplate the fact Israel will not succumb to another holocaust.
7th October, Hamas actions provoked a unexpected response, invasion and war. An end to any prospect of a two state solution, only a future of occupation.
The ICJ now in danger of accusations that it is nothing more than a "political" bias court.
A proven fact, this war in Gaza is in danger of becoming a full scale middle eastern conflict, that the Israeli government facing any existential event could, I suggest will deploy tactical/strategic nuclear weapons.
The US congress will be forced to support or face the unthinkable consequences.
GuruMick
Again, for those who refuse to learn.
The Hamas attack did not commence the Israeli response.
Israel used Gaza as an open air prison denying basic human rights to every Gazan
And, as seen in "The Gaza Experiment ", by Anthony Lowenstein, a Jew, Israel used Gaza to develop all manner of surveillance machinations that it subsequently exported world wide.
Means to oppress and control.
An Israeli Human Rights group compiled a list of SOME of the things Israel prevented from entering Gaza.
Fabric for clothing, A4 paper, Spices for cooking, Pasta, Biscuits, Musical instruments ,Jam, Newspapers, notebooks, baby chicks, fishing equipment, sewing machines, tractor spare parts, toys for kids, donkeys'.....
Read that and tell me the oppression and humiliation imposed by Israel is not a just cause for the imprisoned to break out and wreak some payback of their own.
1glenn
IMO, both Hamas and the Israeli government are to blame for the terrible acts surrounding the conflict in Gaza. Hamas has repeatedly and intentionally targeted civilians for death and kidnapping, and Israel intentionally has made payback unnecessarily brutal.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Hamas, Hezbollah, and Israel are willing to go on fighting and killing until the last Palestinian.

Onlyrocknroll, you speak the truth, but only for those that have ears to hear. The rest are blinded by their own dark, bitter, all encompassing tendencies to side with anything anti. Not exactly the best parties on the block.
Their own life choices led them here, and they do their thing with ease and great conviction. Staredowns, meek attempts to intimidate, absolutisms, thinking they are in the right if they have enough other useful idiots around them. The mob types. Viva the intifada!
I would take a gamble that most aren’t exactly killing it in their own lives either. That mindset almost guarantees that no one in the productive or performing world would ever take them seriously. It’s all dark arrogant egative energy. Israel is just bubbling to the surface for them right now, but there’s plenty of material down there to work with.
Used to be one of them, quite a radical one too, so I know this in my bones.
Keep on rockin rocker!
bass4funk
Not BS, and hard to prove when many media sites cancel, delete or block the evidence. This is why more and more people go to X, Rumble, Discord, Telegram
Most will get out once Trump gets back in, so good news there.
If you have evidence and refuse to accept doesn’t mean that the evidence was wrong
Like the Supreme Court, that’s right.
itsonlyrocknroll
Ricky Kaminski13, to be honest it is just my opinion, from how I interpret this Gaza war.
Many , including friends colleagues believe such views are misguided, blinkered.
Finding a means to end this Gaza war will require a leap of faith beyond the limits of opinions.
I have followed the pro Palestinian protests, many are calling for the Israel to be annihilated off the face of the earth.
That is simply appalling in countries that are supported to value freedom and democracy.
GuruMick
No one calling for Israel to be eliminated.
Even Hamas and Hezbollah accept the reality of an ongoing Israel.
Do keep up to date.
Some justice for Palestinians, a group numbering over 6 million, would be nice.
