It is infuriating that a far-right authoritarian, who has mounting and considerable charges of corruption and calls in his own country to resign, that many (including myself) would argue is currently committing genocide, and is certainly repeatedly violating international law (as adjudicated by several international bodies of justices)—with not only no remorse but with defiant zeal—is being allowed an audience with the United States Congress to an attempt to inspire them to stronger support for his regime’s acts.

Detestable.

One of the most important rules for an authoritarian leader to maintain power is to paint all dissent as evil and a threat to national unity and security.

One of the best ways to do that is to cast anyone protesting as enemies of the common “good” citizens and agents of outside entities merely looking to agitate and destabilise.

Netanyahu is essentially using this speech to Congress to announce Israel’s coming full on war in Lebanon and Yemen.

Netanyahu tells the US lawmakers that "victory is in sight".​

​

"Israel's defeat of Hamas will be a powerful blow to Iran's axis of terror," he continues.​

​

He adds that Hezbollah, which operates in southern Lebanon and has been launching attacks nearly daily on Israel in the past nine months, is another member of that same Iranian "axis".​

​

"Israel will do whatever we must do to return order to our northern border, and to return our people safely to our homes," he continues, threatening to crush Hezbollah.​

I bet they will call Georgia’s first Jewish senator antisemitic.
