Why Netanyahu’s Speech to Congress Was a Total Failure

While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received 50 standing ovations from Congress, his address was a “total failure” in the eyes of the rest of the world. “Not just in terms of the substance but also what it did for the political establishment,” says Miriam Osman from the Palestinian Youth Movement. As Netanyahu defended the genocide and asked for more military support to expand a regional war, antiwar protesters outside the Capitol were pepper sprayed by swarms of police who were enforcing what many have called ‘Fort Netanyahu.’ “The violence of the political class was barefaced,” explains Osman to host Eugene Puryear. #breakthroughnews
