Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, where he touched on a number of problems, notably anti-semitism. The Prime Minister had strong thoughts of rejection for anti-Israel activists and protesters in the United States, referring to them as , “useful stupid” for Iran and another bad players.
” Defeating our terrible rivals requires both confidence and clarity”, he said. Knowing the distinction between good and evil is the first step to quality. But, amazingly, many anti-Israel demonstrators choose to remain with evil. They stand with Hamas. They stand with criminals and killers. They stand with people who come into the kibbutzim — into the house — with the parents and the children, the two babies in the underground roof, and death the parents, find the secret lock to the attic, consider the babies, and they death them. These activists support them. They should be afraid of themselves”.
Netanyahu made reference to the claims of numerous anti-Israel protesters that Hamas terrorism constitutes reasonable opposition while Israel’s hostile conflict is unresolved. They “refuse to make the basic distinction between the criminal thugs of Hamas and those who target civilians,” he told the chamber.
Netanyahu made the claim that anti-Israel activists are anti-American and not just opposed to the Hebrew state’s life. And I want to pay tribute to the University of North Carolina brotherhood boys who stood up for the American flag and stood up for these anti-Israel activists.
According to National Review, Netanyahu took aim at Iran after a small square of “U-S-A” boos from Congress, referring to the most recent discovery from Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines that the Islamic Republic had been funding college protests in the United States.
” For all we know, Iran is funding the anti-Israel demonstrations that are going on right now outside this building”, he said. ” When the rulers of Tehran who hang lesbians from cranes and death people for not covering their hair are praising, promoting, and financing you, you have actually become Iran’s important stupid”.
To Netanyahu, the “people who run the schools” had also failed to make obvious moral decisions.
” Eighty years after the Holocaust, the presidents of Harvard, Penn, and — I’m ashamed to say — my alma mater, MIT, could n’t bring themselves to condemn the call of the genocide of Jews”, the prime minister recalled. ” Remember what they said? They said’ it depends on the context.’ Well, let me offer these befuddled academics a small environment: Antisemitism is the nation’s oldest anger. For decades, the murder of Jews was often preceded by wild charges. We were accused of anything, including making Easter bagels from the blood of murdered children, poisoning wells, spreading plagues, and using them for baking. These lies led to oppression, mass death, and finally to humankind’s worst murder, the Holocaust”.
The same types of canards, he said, are now being spread about Israel.
Netanyahu told the audience that “malicious lies have been leveled for decades at the Jewish people, and now they are being leveled at the Hebrew state.” The ridiculous slanders that portray Israel as discriminatory and genocidal are intended to demonize the Jewish state, demonize Jews outside, and delegitimize Israel. And it’s no wonder that hatred is rising alarmingly in America and all over the world.
Some of the more well-known members of the House Education and Workforce Committee, which is the legislative body looking into colleges and universities allegedly allowing racist harassment and discrimination on their campuses, applauded Netanyahu’s mention of the agency’s function. They were shocked by the idea that Jews in Israel have been following developments in American higher education.
Representative Virginia Foxx ( R., N.C. ) revealed to National Review that she and the prime minister have met immediately after his speech and have been discussing campus antisemitism.
He mentioned how awful it is on schools, and we both said that this is how it starts, and that this is why we need to highlight it and stop it. He reminds us that we face a lot of difficult problems as a nation and as a planet, and that eradicating hatred is crucial to our society. America wo n’t be safe for the Jewish people until we find a way to solve it.
Representative Elise Stefanik ( R., N. Y. In a blog on X, Netanyahu, who asked the question that prompted the “depends on the framework” responses, stated that the question is spiritual rather than social.
Thank you, Stefanik, for delivering the message to the pro-Hamas antisemites who appease extremists and encourage hatred and violence against the Hebrew people, Stefanik wrote. ” It does NOT depend on the context”.
While Netanyahu spoke, activists swarmed monuments and statues in Washington. On a memorial outside of Union Station, they vandalized the unit Liberty Bell and wrote” Hamas is coming.” They tore down National flags, set them on fire, and replaced them with Arab people. The Stars and Stripes were saved from destruction by a gentleman, and the mob yelled at one another to “get him.”
