Bibi speaks in Congress (again)

For a loathsome fellow, Netanyahu has spoken in Congress a lot (he beat Winston Churchill's record yesterday).

Anyway, the speech was predictable pablum, and probably decreased the chances that the War in Gaza might end soon. The one bit that struck me as particularly ironic is when he said this:
Like Americans, Israelis were relieved that President Trump emerged safe and sound from that dastardly attack on him, dastardly attack on American democracy. There is no room for political violence in democracies.

That's pretty rich for the guy who led a crowd chanting "Death to Rabin!" just before a member of that crowd assassinated Yitzhak Rabin.
