Netanyahu goes to Congress where he feels more loved and wanted than in his own Knesset where he is often heckled and insulted.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - The Chosen of the Chosen People came arrogantly and triumphantly to Washington D.C. fully aware that he’ll meet with the ever retracting spineless American President, Barack Obama.

He came, scolded him, rebuked and lectured him on how to never ever challenge, speak, or imply any change in America’s all out support of Israel.
