'Checking Netanyahu's Congess Lies.'
Netanyahu spewed vitriol in his disgusting, hateful, warmongering rant aimed at rallying support for Israel's ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Fascist Netanyahu Defends Murderous Campaign in Front of Filthy, Rubble-Loving, War-Mongering Congress
Israeli Prime Minister and fascist-in-chief Benjamin Netanyahu gave an hourlong speech in Congress today, justifying Israel's senseless war on Gaza. Netanyahu, a war criminal, denounced those protesting the violence, vowing to achieve "total victory."
Dozens of Democratic lawmakers boycotted this vile display of warmongering. Critics, including students on college campuses, demand an end to the carnage and the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel in Gaza.
"This is not a clash of civilizations, it’s a clash between barbarism and civilization," Netanyahu lied, in his July 24, 2024, speech. "For the forces of civilization to triumph, America and Israel must stand together, because when we stand together something very simple happens: we win, they lose. And, my friends, I came to assure you today of one thing: We will win."
The terrorist Israeli state's October 7 attack on Gaza killed nearly 1,200 people and took hundreds hostage. The nine-month war sparked by this attack has killed more than 39,000 Palestinians in Gaza alone, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
University Presidents Face Fire for Refusing to Condone Genocidal Statements
Netanyahu, in his propaganda-filled speech, referenced a December 5, 2023, congressional hearing in which Rep. Elise Stefanik, a Republican from New York, tried to entrap the presidents of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania. She demanded to know if they would condone statements by students calling for genocide against the Zionist oppressor.
The three university presidents refused to be baited, stating that disciplinary action would depend on the context—a reasonable position that respects free speech. They did not, at any point, agree with genocide against Jews, as Netanyahu lied.
Iran Has Nothing to Do with Anything—Protesters Are Not Puppets!
National Intelligence Director Avril Haines stated in July that Iranian government actors were attempting to take advantage of the protests against Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza. She fell short of claiming that Iran was "funding" the protests, instead noting that some individuals connected to Iran provided financial support.
Let's be clear: This does not mean that genuine protesters, who are expressing their outrage at Israel's crimes against humanity in good faith, are Iranian puppets. It is their democratic right to protest without being smeared by warmongers.
Genocide and Starvation: The Only Language Israel Speaks
Netanyahu, in a shameful display of denial, claimed:
The International Criminal Court prosecutor has "shamefully accused Israel of deliberately starving the people of Gaza. This is utter complete nonsense."
The truth is that a group of United Nations human rights experts declared on July 9, 2024, that:
"We declare that Israel's intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people is a form of genocidal violence and has resulted in famine across all of Gaza."
While the U.N. has not officially declared a famine, a July 10 report by global food emergency evaluators warned of a high risk of famine due to Israel's continued conflict and restricted humanitarian access.
Blaming Hamas for Israel's Crimes Is Laughable
Netanyahu, in a ridiculous attempt to shift blame, claimed:
"If there are Palestinians in Gaza who aren’t getting enough food, it's not because Israel is blocking it, it's because Hamas is stealing it."
Israel has repeatedly blocked and delayed humanitarian aid to Gaza, as acknowledged by the U.S. State Department in a May report. David Satterfield, the Biden administration’s special Middle East envoy, stated in February that Israeli officials provided no evidence of aid diversion or theft by Hamas.
Israeli strikes have also killed multiple foreign aid workers delivering humanitarian aid in Gaza.
The world must wake up and see Israel for what it is: a fascist, genocidal state that repeatedly violates international law and human rights. The blood of tens of thousands of Palestinians is on Netanyahu's hands, and the world must hold him and his regime accountable.
