I watched it. They didn't miss anything. Just more political pablum.
He was just begging for more money and weapons. And kissing up to Trumpy. Just in case.
No plans for the future of Gaza except that he plans on occupying it forever. Apparently.

If Trump's team is smart they will make support of Israel an issue on the campaign trail. And show videos of pro Hamas supporters dumping maggots and crickets into the Watergate hotel where Netnyahu is staying along with pulling fire alarms by pro Hamas supporters.
What they really need to do is document how these disgusting cretins are treated by law enforcement.

Democrats need to remember Israel is the only friend we have in the middle east. If the demonstrators support HAMAS and killing the Jews they should go and help HAMAS. All protesters in America know how to do is destroy and burn. Is Soros paying the protesters? Maybe they need to get jobs.

You are correct.
I wish the HAMAS supporters would leave America until they learn what is really going on in Israel. They would fix right in with the HAMAS killers, rapist and etc.

But, but - - - it's what their constituents want!

Perhaps Israel should remember who underwrites them. Aka the 3.2 billion in annual aid courtesy of the US taxpayer

As the Democrats should have. Bibi went 'out of his way' to sink Biden. And the Dems should show Bibi, that 'loyalty to Israel' is not free (i.e. if you want all of our arms, and our alliances to protect you, then you should listen to our policy advice).
And Bibi never has. He is a rogue determined to do what he wants, which is to level Palestine. An that will be bad for Israel in the long run.

Netanyahu is not Israel. It is possible to be anti Netanyahu and pro Israel as are the dems that didn't attend his speech. I understand the rational of trying to make the argument that the dems that didn't attend are pro HAMAS. But it won't work. What it demonstrates is a lack of intellectual honesty and a fear of discussing the real issues: 1) How the Palestinians have been treated and 2) What happens to Gaza (and the West Bank for that matter) AFTER the war. Failure to address these issues are a red flag that indicates Netanyahu's real intention i.e. to push Palestinians out of Gaza and the West bank.

While American youth are becoming more progressive and inclusive, Israeli youth are on an opposite vector, growing more conservative. Their extremist support in 2023 ushered in the farthest right government Israel ever had. See Vox analysis below.
For the foreseeable future, this Likudnik PM will represent and lead Israel while the Palestinians are erased, amputated, starved, bombed, displaced, maimed, evicted, imprisoned or jailed without charge, droned, burned, sniped at, deprived of a national soccer team, impoverished, and just plain humiliated.

And drop their affiliation with the neo-Nazis, which they won't.

As far as I could tell, it was a naked attempt to try and get the Democratic Party to overreact and then AIPAC could unite against them in favor of Trump. Netanyahu had no place addressing Congress...he could give all the private speeches he wanted. Israel is an apartheid nation keeping millions of Palestinians locked inside the Occupied Territories.

I would have skipped it too.
We've had our fill of politicians clinging to power (or running for the WH) to avoid trials over charges for which they've been indicted.
Trump and Netanyahu both have 3 federal indictments hanging over their heads (Cannon dismissed one, TBD).

"While American youth are becoming more progressive and inclusive,..."
But they aren't. They are becoming more inclusive of Dem talking points. But as soon as anyone says anything different, they are becoming more violent and extreme than ever. Liberals today have taken the mantle from Cons in terms of intolerance and inclusiveness. Reps want everyone to be treated the same, Dems want everyone to be treated differently based on their age, sex, ideologies, race, etc. And that isn't even debatable anymore if you do any kind of research in the media over the last 5 years.
So spare us your partisan blinder routine. Join reality and take your party back to the days when they actually cared about tolerance and not only about what gets them the most votes.

He's not only not an American but his country is waging its war all wrong.
