That speech in congress was probably the most disgusting things I've watched live in my entire life. Love for Rashida Tlaib standing up to that evil genocidal man.

It was a disgusting spectacle indeed. Tlaib being the only one with a spine, which is likely a result of her Palestinian roots.

Tlaib has problems herself.

Thank you for articulating the horror and shock that I am feeling.

Bad enough that 3/4 of Congress attended this genocidal madman's speech. I figured they're bought by the Israel lobby but they know he's a sicko doing a mass murder, so I figured they'd show up, sit thru the speech and politely clap at the end.

50+ STANDING OVATIONS!? For a sociopath doing a genocide.

I cannot comprehend this.

Very much appreciate that you included Hamas's rebuttal, which was rational, factual and reality-based. All the things that the Israeli madman and 3/4 of the US Congress are not. As you conclude:

The events from Wednesday are further illustration of the twisted world we inhabit where the barbarians get to rant and rave in the world’s most powerful legislature while the civilised issue remarkably astute and honest rebuttals from their tunnels.

It used to be the 'worlds most powerful legislature' it is now dead/defunct.

Not one country now expects the US has integrity.

The US might not have any integrity, but it doesn't mean the band of thugs who sit in Congress can't pass a legislation to bomb any random country and get away with it. There's no integrity in it, but it is still powerful.

Even its power is diminishing. Example: the U.S. has not been able to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, and even that sitting duck, the USS Eisenhower, was struck by a Houthi missile and had to run for cover.

Indeed. But the larger point still remains, the dying monster can still do a lot of damage in its last throes.

I agree. What's more, the dying monster WILL do a lot of damage in its last throes, if it does not drag us all down with it because such is the insanity in the beltway.

Indeed. They are nihilistic and can destroy the entire world in WW III that they are intentionally sparking.

And as Scott Ritter the U.S. national military strategy for such a war includes nuking EVERYTHING - including all neutrals and even allies big enough that have not already been sacrificed ( see Ukraine for example of how vassals get used as sacrificial pawns).

Does that mean Congress can order bombing others.

Of course. In fact, officially it is only Congress that can order bombings, as per the Constitution the president has get approval from Congress to go to war.

However, that has now been thoroughly usurped so the president goes to war any time he (maybe she next) feels like going to war.

1 thing we have to understand: in the West fascism and genocide are cool again, as long as it is about "the others". And if you don't support either of those 2 activities you will be reviled and ostracized.

A prime example of Western hypocrisy.

Netanyahu's performance, what little I was able to stomach, was reminiscent of Hitler's speeches to crowds of hypnotized sheep at Nazi Party rallies in Nuremberg. All that was missing was the infamous stiff-armed salute and "Heil, Israel". If this monster disguised as a man were a bar of soap, you could work up a pretty frothy lather, but no matter how hard you scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed, you could never wash away the blood, gore and shit from your hands!

I'm not sure if this was a coincidental analogy, but if it was not, then just for the record: the allegation the Nazis made bars of soap from fat extracted from Jewish bodies murdered in the concentration camps during WW2 was a hoax.

FYI, when I wrote this, the soap allegation didn't even cross my mind.

That is why I stated I was not sure. My comment may serve others who aren't sure either, or who don't know about the hoax.

What an absolute vile disgusting pile of lies and complete fantasy he spoke to congress.

How the US can invite the mass murdering psychopath to talk to the senate is beyond morality. To watch all that self absorbed clapping and nodding in complete satisfaction of being in the same room as the narcistic pariah head of the genocidal state of Israel.

This is the end of International law being played out on tvs around the world.

Hamas makes a very concise statement and as usual shows they are far beyond what Israel can even muster in statements,

Have Israel ever made a statement with truth in it?

Hold your head in deep shame America as this wont be forgotten or forgiven. Whos next Putin or Kim Jong Un ???

The world has gone mad.Watching Netanyahu,I saw complete insanity and the reaction from Congress off the scale nuts.It completely destabilised me and took me some serious holistic practice to calm down.What came out of it for me is that now,more than ever before,we have to keep our heads in order to resist the madness.It has become THEIR weapon.In order to mobilise,we must maintain every aspect of what constitutes an effective human being.To stay strong and sane,to reject their inhumanity,to carry on supporting the Palestinian people and to build a different world.

The ICJ said the occupation itself is illegal. And that it has to end immediately and settlers removed to allow for Palestinian self determination with reparations and a default obligations of other states not to aid or assist the (illegal) occupation of Palestine. The prime sinister should have been arrested and the cheering masses need to turn themselves into The Hague.

1 problem: the ICJ cannot enforce anything, nor is there a country that can do so on its behalf. What its ruling does do is damage the reputation of the racist sewer, which is becoming more isolated and desperate with each passing day.

ICJ delivered an opinion at the request of the General Assembly. The Security Council has to act. Thirteen members will vote to act but two with veto power won’t. The game is up, the US and the UK are the world’s killers, the real terrorists, and in ruling against the occupation, the murdering stealing gang bosses- for 76 years- who’ve turned to beating and jailing demonstrators, their police aligned with right wing gangs. The project is still colonization in a democracy cloak, and the General Assembly sees it clearly, despite Egypt, KSA, UAE, etc aligned with the colonialists in Congo, Myanmar, India, Sudan, Gaza, etc. The General Assembly has to act, with a Uniting For Peace resolution as well as reform of the Security Council. The ruling puts the genocide and murderers in the General Assembly’s lap.

You are right. Nevertheless, the UNSC has become as powerless as the ICJ thanks to the West.

The US congress is a foul sewer full of rats and snakes, unfortunately and its been long known that they do not represent anything other than their own pockets:

You can talk all you want, but most of Congress is no more than a collection of political prostitutes bought and paid for by ZioNazistan's supporters in the U.S. itself, those depraved, insane dual passport holders with no loyalty to the country that enables their existence.

Can we take comfort in that the support for genocide, the law breaking, links with Mossad and Israeli business, the collapse of the debt/military US ecomomy and the sanctioning itself into oblivion from BRICS will mean that the US and its vassals go down with Israel; which is only a matter of time?

They filled the seats vacated by boycotting lawmakers with clapping sycophants. So the speech and the ovations were frauds. Should also point out that Israel was, and is, first and foremost a British imperialist project. This has not changed over the decades though America has been duped into paying for it and supplying the weapons of genocide.

While Israel did start off as a British project, there's no denying that it became US's very own outpost once the Americans assumed the British role of global colonial masters for themselves.
