On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United States Congress, passionately defending Israel's military actions in Gaza. Netanyahu's speech was met with mixed reactions, with some praising his unwavering support for Israel and others condemning the ongoing violence.
Castigating Critics
In his address, Netanyahu fiercely criticized detractors of Israel's war in Gaza, accusing them of being motivated by anti-Semitism or a lack of understanding of the complexities of the conflict. He argued that Israel had a right to defend itself against Hamas's rocket attacks and that the criticism it had faced was both unfair and unjustified.
A Long List of Critics
Despite Netanyahu's defense, Israel has come under heavy criticism from various quarters. Fellow Israelis have demanded a negotiated settlement to the conflict, while international organizations and human rights groups have expressed concerns about the civilian casualties in Gaza. The United Nations Security Council has called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the bloodshed.
