Netanyahu likens 'Gays for Gaza' to 'Chickens for KFC' in speech to Congress

WASHINGTON (TND) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday chastised certain anti-Israel protesters during his address to a joint session of Congress.

The address came as thousands of anti-Israel protesters took to the streets of Washington, D.C., to protest Netanyahu’s presence. Demonstrators pounded drums, lit flares and hoisted Palestinian flags. Capitol Police reported members of the crowd became violent, causing them to deploy pepper spray.

Netanyahu called out Gays for Gaza, a slogan used by some anti-Israel protesters. Such a slogan, he argued, is oxymoronic.

“Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming 'Gays for Gaza,’” he said. “They might as well hold up signs saying 'Chickens for KFC.’”

Netanyahu's remark appeared to be in reference to Hamas's documented handling of homosexuality in Gaza. In 2016, Hamas commander Mahmoud Ishtiwi was brutally tortured and eventually killed by the terrorist group for having sex with a man, according to Human Rights Watch.

The Israeli leader during the address also gave a nod to the students at the University of North Carolina who defended the U.S. flag from pro-Palestinian protesters in the Spring.

“I wish to salute the fraternity brothers at the University of North Carolina for protecting the American flag against these anti-Israel protesters,” he said to applause from Congress.

The chamber broke out in chants of “USA” following the remark.

Reminds me of how I liken “Our greatest ally” propaganda BS to “With friends like these, who needs enemies?”

Some rich conservative should offer to fly these queers over to the ME so they can show their support in person!

They’d get a chance to see if they can fly! (when muzzies toss them off rooftops)

“Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming ‘Gays for Gaza,’” he said. “They might as well hold up signs saying ‘Chickens for KFC.’”

It’s a great line. It shows the incoherence of the Left, beautifully. Remember, they don’t have principles, they have goals, instead.

It shows that they are completely unable to research and think for themselves.

I thought it was HILARIOUS that he said that Biden was a “proud Zionist”. Heads had to be exploding, but a quick search (before the scrub) shows that he has said “I am a Zionist” several times before.

Bibi was Right On correct.
and it has come out that the Fakestinians have been raping their male captives along with their female ones

(maybe there’s a shortage in Gaza. Its not a food shortage. Its not a weapons shortage. Its a sheep shortage?)

Wonderful speech from a wonderful man. Netanyahu is a man of integrity with a strong moral compass and a backbone of steel. When Trump is elected we will, again, have our own Netanyahu with those same stellar qualities. Maybe, just maybe, we can all find a way to live in peace.

"Fag logic"

Is there something wrong with you? I think sodomy is a mental disorder but still, what about your comment even applies?
