And yet again we have congress members clapping like trained seals to debunked Israel propaganda and the characterization of anti-war protesters being in favor of the killing of civilians.

This is 2003 Iraq War levels of state-approved disinformation. I feel nauseated.
It's must be like one long nightmare for Palestinians. It's akin to the Great Tribulation, and the politicians who claim to believe in such things are way too happy supporting Israel. I cannot imagine the US standing much longer, not after this and everything else this country has done to the world. It has to end.
Oh honey, the USA has been committing genocide for hundreds of years. This visit is a return to form, not some sudden heel turn.
I was told here that voting blue would fix it all. Republicans brought this monster in, will the victorious DNC do anything about it after November besides… hold their applause?
I think we all know the answer. History will remember them as collaborators.
You're right, and it's horrifying that it continues. I guess I was just voicing a wish that it would end soon.
I also don't trust either party to fix any of these things. It's a sly game their playing, and sadly it's still working -_-
"Incredibly" indeed. I give no credit to his lies.
In writing he comes off an awful lot like Trump to me, if Trump were more coherent anyway.
But maybe it’s because he just sounds like a Republican.
The speech was certainly written with the Republicans in mind, so i wouldn't be surprising if that was intentional.
What of that is debunked?
Immediately after October 7th, there were various sensational and outlandish claims made by Israeli officials that babies were beheaded, put into ovens, murdered in their nurseries, and generally singled out and made to suffer with intentional violence. Since then, no evidence whatsoever has been provided to substantiate these claims and the majority of them have been dropped completely.
UN records indicate that one baby did actually die along with her family after Hamas fighters opened fire into a safe room in Kibbutz Be'eri (page 10), but there were no recorded cases where multiple babies were intentionally targeted and killed in the way that Netanyahu describes.
None of this is to diminish the atrocities that were committed on October 7th, but it is telling that Israel and Netanyahu in particular seem dead set on making the events on that day seem as barbaric as possible in order to somehow justify the large-scale massacring of men, women, and children that is happening in Gaza.
Also a classic:
Claiming a literal kindergarten attendance chart as a “terrorist check-in record”.
What else is Israel lying about if they are using such brazen propaganda?
Those videos were so crazy. I guess Hamas hides their weapons in the MRI room so that they can find them again just by turning it back on?
He is not specifically saying such things, what he says did happen. Some shit got debunked, but not what he says here. So... why call it debunked?
No, it did not happen the way he described it. Firstly, there was a baby, not babies. Secondly, the child was not secreted somewhere alone, found after the parents had been shot and then deliberately killed.
Netanyahu is deliberately embellishing the story in order to heighten the outrage over October 7th, and then trying to frame anyone protesting Israel's ethnic cleansing in Gaza as a supporter of what happened. It's disgraceful.
Maybe start with "anti-Israel protesters choose to stand with evil." He's taking about people protesting mass murder of civilians by Israel. Fuck that guy with a rotten pineapple.
No you don’t want the pineapple to be rotten, that would make it softer and marginally less painful.
How about salt-crusted?
