[Order Daniel Greenfield’s new book, Domestic Enemies: HERE.]
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had come to D.C. to defend Israel’s war against Islamic terrorists, instead he ended up defending America in a city and Congress overrun with them.
Marxist and Jihadist mobs prowled the streets of D.C., tearing down and burning American flags, and putting up the terrorist flags of the PLO in their place. Hamas supporters openly waved the green flag of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization and even the black ‘battle flag’ used by ISIS and other Jihadists made an appearance in the capital of the United States.
The Columbus fountain outside Union Station was vandalized with the red triangles supporting Islamic terrorist attacks and “Hamas is Coming”. “Long live the intifada” was scrawled on the Freedom Bell. A courageous lone individual rushed to save an American flag being burned by a mob shouting “Allahu Akbar” which quickly gave chase. The Capitol Police, formerly so beloved by Democrats and media, battled more of the red-shirted radical thugs with no support.
“Allahu Akbar! Hamas!” a Muslim protester shouted. “We’re gonna kill all the Jews.”
Then in a few hours the insurrectionist mob that assaulted Capitol Police officers was set loose.
The message from the Biden administration and Democrats was once again that terrorist mobs could freely vandalize landmarks, threaten members of Congress and assault Capitol Police.
The White House offered no specific condemnation of the anti-American violence. Rep. Pelosi and many top Democrats instead blasted Netanyahu for refusing to surrender to Hamas. None of them spoke out against the hatred not only for Israel, but for the United States of America, for the calls to murder Jews and the chants for the destruction of America.
Inside the situation was no better. Kamala Harris, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and many top Democrats had decided to boycott Netanyahu’s speech. Those who attended offered little applause and sat scowling through much of the bipartisan address. A few behaved disruptively including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a longtime terrorist supporter, who held up a protest sign during the speech.
It fell to Netanyahu to condemn the mobs who “burned American flags even on the fourth of July. And I wish to salute the fraternity brothers of the University of North Carolina who protected the American flag against these anti-Israel protesters.” Followed by chants of “USA, USA.”
It would not be the first or last time that chants of “USA” were heard during the address.
Netanyahu’s speech often sounded like a State of the Union address that no one was around to give anymore, praising America as “the guardian of Western civilization”, and urging that “for the forces of civilization to triumph, America and Israel must stand together.” He invoked Pearl Harbor and 9/11 and condemned the failures of colleges to teach basic values.
Netanyahu described clarity as “knowing the difference between good and evil.” He denounced those protesters who “stand with evil, they stand with rapists and murderers” who found babies hidden in an attic and murdered them. While Speaker Mike Johnson stood up to applaud, the ranking Democrat, Sen. Ben Cardin applauded lightly but remained seated .
“Some of these protesters hold up signs saying: ‘Gays for Gaza’ they might as well hold signs saying ‘Chickens for KFC’”, Netanyahu said. Cardin did not applaud that one. Few Dems did.
With rescued hostages and hostage families in attendance, he described the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 when “these monsters raped women, beheaded men, burned babies alive, they killed parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents, they dragged 255 people, both living and dead, into to the dark dungeons of Gaza.”
Meanwhile Rep. Jerry Nadler boasted that he was “trolling” Netanyahu by reading a book.
“We also have families with American hostages here,” Netanyahu said, while Kamala was off attending a sorority event, and some 70 Democrats were officially boycotting the speech.
He introduced Avichai Reuven, an Ethiopian Israeli soldier who ran 8 miles during the Oct 7 attacks, killed terrorists and saved lives, and three other heroes of the fight against Hamas, two of whom had lost limbs. “These are the soldiers of Israel, unbowed, undaunted and unafraid.”
Democrats like Pelosi and Nadler, along with Kamala, Schumer and many others demand that they be daunted and surrender to Hamas. They are doing the dirty work for Hamas and Iran.
Recently, as Front Page Magazine reported, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines admitted that Iran was financing some of the pro-terrorist protesters. Netanyahu suggested that could include the Hamas riots outside and called them “useful idiots” for Iran. He described Ayatollah Khomeini’s promise to “export the revolution to the entire world.”
America stands in the way of Iran’s plan to impose Islam on the world, he argued.
“That’s why Iran sees America as its greatest enemy.” He quoted a Hezbollah terrorist official who said that, “the real war is with America.” Iran had sent “death squads” to kill Americans, including Trump administration officials and even “brazenly threatened to assassinate former President Trump.”
“Iran realizes that to challenge America, it must first conquer the Middle East… but Israel stands in its way. That’s why the mobs in Tehran chant ‘Death to Israel’ before ‘Death to America.’”
Netanyahu laid out a compelling case for Israel as the barrier to Islamic expansionism. And for America to support Israel so that it doesn’t have to put boots on the ground in the Middle East.
But he was also speaking to a very different Washington D.C. than when he first spoke in 1996.
The idea of America as “the guardian of Western civilization” would now be outright offensive to the average Democrat. As is the idea of fighting Islamic terrorism instead of surrendering to it.
But in a Washington D.C. where Islamic terrorist flags are freely waved and Jihadist graffiti is scrawled across national monuments, that may no longer be so. The nation’s capital, under Biden and Kamala, is no longer the “guardian” of anything except pork and privilege.
Rather than defending Israel in D.C., Netanyahu was tasked with defending America, making the case for it as a great nation and a force for good even while members of Congress, congressional staffers, wealthy brats and Islamic terrorists made their stand for evil.
Israel lacks support in D.C. not just because the left is antisemitic, but because it hates America. And a movement that hates America cannot be expected to love Israel or support civilization.
Netanyahu was the product of a better America. When he left in the sixties to fight for Israel, he had imbibed the best of this nation in his time here. Yet each time he returned America had grown worse. Had he jeered America, denounced it as a racist, capitalist and imperialist enterprise, many of the Democrats who boycotted the speech would have come and cheered.
This was a speech meant to remind Americans of what Israel and we are fighting for. But despite his eloquence, the red and green mobs outside waving terrorist flags, chanting “Allahu Akbar” and burning American flags did that better than even the greatest speech ever could.
No matter how many lies the media put out there, the choices are painfully clear.
One of the protesters, the sorts of people whom Kamala described as “showing exactly what the human emotion should be”, stood holding a sign reading “Allah is gathering all the Zionists for the ‘Final Solution’ with a nuclear mushroom cloud overhead.” In his other hand, he waved the black battle flag of the Caliphate with its call for imposing Allah and Islam on America.
The choice between good and evil is all too clear. All that remains is to make it.
“Rep. Jerry Nadler boasted that he was “trolling” Netanyahu by reading a book.”
lolol, at least there was one humorous moment 🙂
If Jews become seriously imperiled here in the U.S. (and I foresee this happening in the coming years, as the Muslim and Marxist camps increase in power and influence), Jewish cowards and traitors such as Nadler who may wish to seek safety in Israel should be denied entry. They deserve neither forgiveness nor compassion.
The backlash will be terrifying for him, as there will be no mercy if it happens.
I wonder how they the Liberal M.S. Media would react if someone burned Palatine or Antifa Flag
We have, hopefully, all made our choice here.
Thank you Daniel for your honest reporting, if only we had someone like you in the UK.
Thank you, Mr. Greenfield.
I felt, as you, that Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech sounded, looked and felt like a state of the union speech; but it was much more than that. It addressed head on the moral state, the moral crisis in the United States and in the entire world. In so doing, Netanyahu revealed why Israel and the Jewish people exist – they exist to be moral, ‘good’, in God’s world. Being ‘chosen’ means accepting moral responsibility and living by the divine moral laws of the Torah in the land that God set aside for the nation of Israel. Israel accepts gratefully this moral responsibility. Israel is strengthened, not ‘burdened’, by moral responsibility. That is why we exist.
Netanyahu defined Israel’s relationship with America as an equal partnership. Israel is not a sub-country. Netanyahu noted the US reliance on Israeli intelligence.
Israel is 4,000 years old and will exist as long as God exists. America is only 248 years old.
It is time for America, her leaders and her citizens, to respect her elders and reap the infinite blessings.
Netanyahu spoke truth to power in classic Churchillian style about 10/7 why and how Israel fights and his vision of the day after newly a demilitarized and deradicalized Gaza .The reaction of the Democrats was disgraceful
The flags to burn: 🇵🇸 & 🏳️🌈
The flags to honor: 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱
“DEATH TO HAMAS”
God Bless Israel.
God Bless The United States of America.
The Democrat Communist Criminal Terrorist Organization, will be destroyed.
As for the rioting by the Marxists and Jihadists at our Capitol, are there no police dogs or fire hoses in DC? These terrorists should be given the “January 6” treatment, on steroids.
BiBi warned the US years ago….the Jihad is coming to your shores, and indeed with the failures on our borders, the amount of people from prisons and countries that hate us is obvious, and because of the Islamist- left alliance, it has come to America and invaded schools, colleges, and governmental organizations, and formed caliphates all over the U.S. Allahu Akbar, the cry before the ambush.
Did he mention Islam explicitly? Or even Sharia?
Notice how Netanyahu never mentions Islam or Sharia as the motivating factor in all of this.
The Western cowardice is still there, even now, after 9/11 and now October 7th.
In his address, Netanyahu cited ” radical Islam” as the problem. I suspect he and the rest of the Israeli leadership still do not understand, after nearly eighty years of continual jihad, that Islam itself is the driving force of Israel’s neighbors’ unending hostility. One of those in the IDF who represented Israel yesterday during Netanyahu’s address was a Muslim named Asraf, a Master Sergeant. While his loyalty to Israel and heroism are commendable, I would love to know how he reconciles the Jew-hatred of Islam with his evident wish to defend a country that was established as a Jewish sovereign state..
There are thousands of (especially Druze and Bedouin) Muslims serving honorably in the IDF.
Sometimes, Israeli leaders mention Islamofascists.
The few who run for office who simply offer blanket curses of Islam aren’t popular, and are rarely brought in to governing coalitions.
Now go and overflow somebody else’s toilet.
You have been corrected.
Common sense came in while my response was awaiting moderation, but the logic of it still applies….
So it is now generalized responsa.
Israeli leaders should honor the Muslims who fight for Israel. God bless them.

Your vapid, scatological reply to my comment leaves my perfectly legitimate question unanswered, which is, simply, how do believing Muslims who are in the IDF justify their willingness to fight and possibly die for a sovereign nation governed largely by Jews, who, according to the Koran – the literal, immutable word of Allah – are the greatest enemy of the Muslims? You, evidently, cannot answer this question.
The question is easily answered.
The Muslims can vote for whomever they wish.
The Muslims can attend whichever mosque they wish.
…or not attend mosque at all.
They can, if they earn law degrees, represent clients of any religion.
They can, if they earn medical degrees, treat patients of any religion…..or either sex. And this includes female MDs!
In short, Muslims are freer in the Jewish State then in any Muslim nation, save for high-ranking MALE members of royal families and such.
…and I still stand by my response to you and THC, because I don’t like it when people try to insert wedges into Israeli society and culture and military and politics.
Shmuck
My question remains unanswered. I have no interest in creating religious divisions in Israeli society. You are a clueless ass, and a nasty one at that. I’m done with you, schmendrik.
So what are you going to do about it, you little effing coward. It’s easy to talk tough when there are no consequences. You are the essence of Western cowardice.
When the SHTF you will be sitting in your sh*thole apartment cutting and pasting your Objectivist drivel.
Defending America; another job Americans won’t do, at least not in Congress. America is no longer the leader of the “Free World” such as it is. Israel under Netanyahu can reasonably make that claim. It takes a foreign leader to come to the U.S. and remind Congress of its duty.
Kamala and her flag burning friends outside the Capitol with their “Final Solution” signs are no better than Nazis because they are Nazis. Not until their entire grizzly gang of cutthroats is removed from the Republic and torn root and branch from the body politic will America resume its role as leader of the free world.
Only one man can make that happen; which is why they impeached him, plotted conspiracies against him, tried to imprison him … and kill him by multiple means. Unless the entirety of the American people gets behind Trump with all their strength we’ll never get our country back.
Mr. Greenfield, how do we get this jihadist mob out of America?
Assuming Trump wins, then what can we do?
Those on visas can and should be expelled.
But what about the rest of them? How many of them are Syrian “refugees”? The civil war ended there. Can we send them back?
How many came here in connection with the Iraq war? Or Afghanistan? Can we send them back?
For those who may have fraudulently attained US citizenship, can we rescind it, since burning an American flag, and chanting death to America obviously would be violations of the oath they took?
What about the Somalian refugees? Their crisis there is over. Isn’t it long past time that they go home?
What about a constitutional amendment prohibiting anchor babies from American citizenship? Can we do this? If we don’t, don’t conservatives realize that Texas and other Republican states will eventually flip, and that will be the beginning of the end of American civilization?
Trump’s voters are mostly older than this young, pro-jihadist crowd. Shouldn’t we be aggressively doing everything under the sun now to prevent America from becoming a society irretrievably dominated by the alliance of the radical left and the jihadis a decade, or two, or three, or four from now?
“America stands in the way of Iran’s plan to impose Islam on the world,”
An absolutely frightening sentence!
Benjamin Netanyahu is right when he referred brainwash young non-Muslims leftists who are the tools of Hamas as “useful idiots.”
For example, a Newsmax reporter walked over to one of those “student protesters” who was holding a sign that read “From the River to the Sea” and asked her “What river ?” and she replied “I don’t know.” Then the reporter asked her “Which sea ?” To that question, she answered “I don’t know.”
Part of this article reads that the ”Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines admitted that Iran was financing some of the pro-terrorist protesters. Netanyahu suggested that could include the Hamas riots outside and called them “useful idiots” for Iran. He described Ayatollah Khomeini’s promise to “export the revolution to the entire world.”
Yes, that is right Those pro- Hamas , anti-Israel protesters are ,truly. the “useful idiot” for Islamic jihad against the State of Israel.
For example, Iran’s top Muslim cleric leader, Ayatollah Khamenei,is ,without doubt ,is very happy and glad those in high positions in institutions of “higher education” brainwashed and manipulated those poor naive and misinformed college young people to be his useful idiots to attempt to fulfill that Islamic goal of destroying the State of Israel and then replacing her with an Islamic “state.”
Another terrible harsh and tragic reality is that Khamenei,couldn’t care less about those American college people who he only uses as his stooges. that Ayatollah ,because of his religion shiite Islam even dislikes those non-Muslim youth who are his tools and he even hate those Sunni Muslims who are also they his tools.
Those college young people who have been led astray deceived and are now being used should not be scorned but instead they should be pitied.
They have also been sold the idea that Islam was not involved in the slave trade (in fact, Arabs ran the slave markets from which the traders purchased the hapless complement of their ships). Additionally the Ottomans took far more slaves, over a much longer period.
A Leftist enabled domestic Islamic disaster is coming. They are already here via the Biden open border policy and the idiotic Obama policy of letting Muslims in from Somalia. Weapons have been smuggled in and are cached in the mosques. God knows what is going in Dearbornistan MI as most of the area is a Jihadi no go zone.
Everyone should read Townhall contributor Kurt Schlichter’s book called “The Attack”. In this book he details a possible coordinated jihad attack in the U.S. over three days by small groups of armed Muslims and cosplaying white wannabe terrorists, first against businesses, second against Americans in their homes, and finally against infrastructure. The attacks take place mostly in the unarmed blue state cities and suburbs. The jihadis do not want to be confronted by armed Americans
Kurt Schlichter said it best in his TownHall articles:
townhall com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2024/03/25/america-is-going-to-be-targeted-for-a-massive-terrorist-attack-will-you-be-ready-n2636901
https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2024/06/17/joe-biden-reminds-us-to-buy-guns-and-ammunition-n2640535
Bottom line, buy guns and ammo in the areas of the country where you still can. You guys who live in blue cities and blue states, MOVE NOW! You are sitting ducks. Democrats want you unarmed.
Remind me again, if you hate America so much then why are you here? For hardcore socialists, instead of trying to transform America into a socialist utopia, wouldn’t it be easier for you to just leave and live in any of the numerous failed states that has the political system that you long for? The same goes for Muslims, instead of working to transform United States into a caliphate, wouldn’t it be easier for you to just leave and live in any Muslim failed state or territory under the absolute rule of Muslim radicals?
My analogy is that no matter how much time, sweat and money you pour into a Toyota Tercel, you can’t transform it into a luxury Rolls-Royce automobile. Same with United States, despite all your efforts you cannot transform this country into something it wasn’t designed for such as socialism or becoming a Muslim caliphate. If you really want to live under a political or religious system that United States wasn’t designed for, why don’t you just leave and live the life you want in the places of the world that cater to your needs?
