The combined session of Congress greeted him rapturously. Also, Bibi subtly shivved the Biden/Harris administration in a devastating way for the election.

Today, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke for almost an hour before a joint session of Congress. I was paying attention so hard to his magnificent speech that I forgot to take notes—and there’s no transcript available yet. These are my impressions of the speech.

One. Bibi got one of the most rapturous greetings I’ve ever seen Congress give anyone. The ovation when Bibi walked to the podium and stood there went on so long that Speaker Mike Johnson finally had to gavel it to an end.

Two. Bibi stuck a huge shiv into the Democrat presidential ticket without seeming to have done so. It was remarkably clever and done with tremendous subtlety and grace. To appreciate what Bibi did, you must understand the Democrats’ antisemitic base.

Biden and Harris distanced themselves as far as possible from Bibi. Biden had the excuse of his COVID diagnosis and frailty, but Kamala had no excuse. That’s why it was so striking that she wasn’t at the airport to greet Bibi (nor was anyone else from the administration), and she refused to appear in Congress when he was speaking, opting instead for a sorority party:

Daniel F. Baranowski @DFBHarvard No one from the Whitehouse could get away to meet Israel's Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu, at the airport!

Israel is our only major ally in the Middle East!

What a snub! What a snub! 🤨

The reason for Joe’s and Kamala’s terror of being seen with Bibi is their base. Almost 30 Democrats refused to appear at the event. Rashida Tlaib did show up, but only to make a statement...

Meanwhile, out on the street, the Democrat base raged against Israel, screamed out “Allahu Akbar,” and burned American flags

You would never know it from the MSM.

I'm relieved there was no assassination attempt.

He brought his own security?

I want to give kudos to Senators Fetterman, Sinema and Manchin for defying the prevailing winds of anti-Semitism in the Democrat party and not only repeatedly applauding Bibi, but for also being a part of his welcoming committee. Especially Fetterman, who made a special effort to wear a suit for Bibi’s speech, despite being clearly uncomfortable in it.

Shin Bet agents. Israeli internal security.

Contrast Bibi’s speech with Cadaver Joe’s…

As far apart as Pluto from the Sun…
