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.

“Fag logic”

As in, “can’t we all just get along?” Or a favorite, “Coexist “ with all of the letters being symbols. How can i coexist with someone who espouses beheading me for my faith?
Point being, nice and stupid equals dead. Useful idiots that have no understanding of consequences of picking a side that would otherwise throw them off of a rooftop. Hence, “Fag Logic” is a kinder way of saying Sodomite Idiots

I’ve read several times in recent years that gays in the MIddle East often seek asylum in Israel.

There are those who neither read nor understand this passage, but someday when it’s too late, maybe they will.

It would be interesting to know what goes through their minds just as they are tossed off a roof.

It’s part of the Abrahamic covenant. I have an end times book by David Jeremiah, The Book of Signs. He digs into a lot of it if your interested.
