Netanhayu addresses congress amidst fierce protests

CGTN Europe

Israeli PM Netanyahu addressed Congress, calling pro-Palestinian protesters "Iran's useful idiots."  Many Democrats boycotted the speech, citing Israel's military campaign in Gaza after Hamas' October 7 attack that killed 1,200 Israelis.  Nearly 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Hamas-ruled enclave since the start of the conflict, according to local health authorities.  #israel #hamas #netanyahu #usa #congress #protests

00:00Iran is funding the anti-Israel protests that are going on right now outside this building.

00:15Not that many, but they're there and throughout the city.

00:18Well, I have a message for these protesters.

00:22When the tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering

00:28their hair, are praising, promoting, and funding you, you have officially become Iran's useful

00:34idiots.

00:35No, no, don't applaud, listen.

00:45The outrageous slanders that paint Israel as racist and genocidal are meant to delegitimize

00:51Israel, to demonize the Jewish state, and to demonize Jews everywhere.

00:57No wonder, no wonder we've witnessed an appalling rise of anti-Semitism in America and around

01:02the world.

01:04My friends, whenever and wherever we see the scourge of anti-Semitism, we must unequivocally

01:12condemn it and resolutely fight it, without exception.
