LIVE: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Addresses Joint Session Of Congress
Approximately 80 Democrat representatives and Senators are officially boycotting the event. The event starts at 2 p.m. Eastern.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is speaking to a joint session of Congress at the invitation of the (Republican) Speaker of the House and (Democrat) Senate Majority Leader.
80 representatives and Senators are officially boycotting the appearance (some others may not be in attendance for non-boycott reasons). Most notably absent if VP Kamala Harris, who as President of the Senate, has the responsibility to preside. She passed it up for an appearance at a sorority event (seriously), but everyone knows it’s because her far left base would get upset if she fulfilled her responsibilities.

Pretty powerful to see our heroic IDF soldiers — Arab and Jewish, receiving standing ovations from the entire US Congress for their acts of bravery.

what he wont say:

( the squad will claim he is talking about them
Dems in Congress (and Kamala) are holding out for an address from the new Iranian President.
The vast majority of democrat voters believe obama’s lie that the JCOP was designed to stop Iran’s nuclear program.
Media covered it up – Obama vastly worse president than biden – activity supported a terrorist regime. Most democrats were too stupid to pick up on it. Just like most democrats are too stupid to pick up on Bidens dementia for the last 4 years
Stupid and complicit are conflated in this instance.
It’s nice to have a list of most of the antisemites in Congress. The rest made themselves known by their reactions.
These are not Americans.
Glad to see the welcome from pro-American Congressmen.
When people tell you who they are, believe them.
Congress is much the better when these cretins are absent.
And they don’t hesitate to show us, either.
Nancy refused to show up because she wasn’t provided with a copy of the speech to rip up. She is consoling herself with vodka and moisturizing cream. She is rubbing the vodka all over her face and drinking the cream.
Really, Thomas Massie???
Massie is antiwar. I’ve always wanted to ask him if China invaded Kentucky, should the US government just give it to China so that no civilians die? That’s his position with every other conflict. He thinks Ukraine should just surrender.
Is Massie anti-War or pro-Putin?
Sorry to be this blunt but the wars he is against are wars where Putin is either supporting one side winning (Hamas) or Putin has actually invaded another country (Ukraine).
Looking at his history
Was he furious at Russia’s intervention against Isis?
Was he furious at Obama intervening in Libya?
I did learn that he was against war in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2020.
To put that into perspective it was almost a decade past when Obama ended the war in Iraq, and about Afghan withdrawal…..
If he was a 14 year old boy trusting mainstream media who has no history and who’s view of the world was just what media wants you to see yes anti-War.
For someone to try to ride anti-war sentiment a decade after the United States has been at war, who has never opposed actual American war efforts when it counted (i.e. during or prior not after) to suddenly take the Putin position…..
It doesn’t take an Einstein now does it?
I have been unable to find any example of him reacting to the massive loss of life in Aleppo and other areas of Syria Russia engaged in urban warfare in.
Naturally there was no cameras ready for the man who felt Isis being destroyed wasn’t worth Syrian lives so naturally the fake anti-War guy wasn’t available.
Thanks for the picture of Tlaib. She is such a nice lady.
She very helpfully held up a sign identifying herself.
I would trade Biden or Harris for him in a second, except that Israel might not survive the trade.
Nydia Velasquez boycotted twice?!?
Listened to the entire speech, as always Bibi is an eloquent and passionate advocate of his country and her people. Excellent nods to history and the Old Testament as well as framing Israel’s modern heros. As usual, he doesn’t pull punches on where the evil lies and calls out those who harbor them, including his own Alma Mater. And I personally enjoyed the number of times he reminded Biden of his own words of support for Israel – nice way to put an adversary on the defensive (might also work as a call out that he may also agree with Americans who don’t believe Biden has been in charge of domestic or foreign policy for a very long time.)
Great line about the pro Hamas anti-Israel protestors being the useful idiots for Iran.
The damage being done by the Hamasoles around the Capitol Building is not incidental. It will be interesting to see how much coverage it gets on the evening newscasts.
Gays for Gaza = Chickens for KFC
Netanyahu gave a great inspiring speech that was factual but also mentioned the personal and emotional side of the war with Hamas. I wish Trump would watch this speech and emulate some of the techniques that Bibi used.
Trump is Trump
He is our War President
Wishes are useless,
By the way, I love Bibi, always have
Of course the Pro Hamas Democrats boycotted the speech of a true leader who is fighting for his Country’s very survival. They can’t stand to look at a true leader up close. That these reps and Senators would so willingly skip out on their duty to their constituents is very telling….there is no rock bottom for the Party of Hamas. If the Cackler wins, it may mean the end of Israel itself. I pray for Israel.
My understanding is that Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders couldn’t attend Bibi’s speech because they were in gaza asking Sinwar to release one or two Americans.
In re: those 80 congressmembers:
Does it make me a bad person that I wonder what their stance towards Israel/Netanyahu would be if it were their kin in gaza being held captive, being raped , being forced to read quron
There are Israeli children being islam-indoctrinated — who will one day be paraded out to tell the world how grateful they are to have been liberated by hamas.
Nice job, idiots.
