Netanyahu’s Speech Was As American As It GetsBenjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress was everything you’d expect: packed full of lies and propaganda spin, but simultaneously very illuminating and revealing.
....This deluge of lies and racist invective received dozens and dozens of standing ovations. The same political class that’s spent the last eight years shrieking about the threat of misinformation, disinformation and foreign propaganda just normalized and applauded a foreign genocidal war criminal as he stood before Congress telling lie after lie after lie.
You couldn’t ask for a better example of everything Washington stands for than this. Both houses of Congress rising to feverishly applaud one of history’s worst genocidal monsters dozens of times as he lies over and over again is a much better representation of what the US government is about than anything you’ll see during the presidential race from now until November.
This is everything Israel is, and this is everything the US empire is. They’re showing you who they are. Believe them.
