The Israeli prime minister received no fewer than 58 standing ovations while speaking before both houses of Congress and spewing the most despicable lies you could possibly imagine in his conspicuously American accent.

Netanyahu repeated evidence-free atrocity propaganda about what happened on October 7, falsely asserting that Hamas "burned babies alive" and killed two babies in an attic. He falsely claimed that Hamas "butchered 1,200 people", pretending it's not a well-established fact that many of the 1,139 Israeli deaths that day came from both indiscriminate IDF fire and deliberate targeting in implementation of the Hannibal Directive.
