Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress this week just days after Israel’s capital city of Tel Aviv was bombed by Yemen’s Houthis.
And yet it wasn’t the Yemen Houthis he condemned, but their favorite “enemy,” Iran.
I’m standing here in Washington, D.C. and the difference is so stark. America’s founding document promises life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Iran’s founding document pledges death, tyranny, and the pursuit of jihad. And as states are collapsing across the Middle East, Iran is charging into the void to do just that. (Transcript here.)
This rhetoric against Iran has been going on since the 1980s, when President Ronald Reagan was caught in a scandal sending Iran militants to overthrow Nicaragua, all funded by the U.S.
There was a copy of an Israeli newspaper from 1984 that was reporting almost exactly the same thing 40 years ago that Netanyahu, and his Zionist friends, are saying today, that was going viral on social media:
The obviously staged Trump shooting is now being blamed on Iran as well, with Donald Trump saying that he “hopes America obliterates Iran” if he is assassinated, just as many other Christian Evangelical leaders have also called for the destruction of Iran.
This attitude completely ignores the fact that millions of Jews and Christians also live in Iran, along with millions of others who do not support war or many of the policies of their Islamic leader. See:
Netanyahu and Israeli Zionists continue to state that the IDF is the most “moral” army in the world, and does not target innocent civilians.
But doctors currently on the ground in Gaza say otherwise.
US Doctors Stunned By Number Of Gaza Children With Headshot Wounds
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called Israel the “most moral army in the world,” but a high volume of deeply troubling wounds seen by American surgeons volunteering in Gaza is casting doubt on that claim.
Dr. Mark Perlmutter, an American surgeon with heavy catastrophe-zone experience, is among those stunned by the civilian devastation they’ve recently witnessed in Gaza, and especially by a high volume of what appear to be precision rifle-fire wounds on children — including toddlers.

“All of the disasters I’ve seen, combined – 40 mission trips, 30 years, Ground Zero, earthquakes, all of that combined – doesn’t equal the level of carnage that I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza,” Dr. Mark Perlmutter, an orthopedic surgeon and vice president of the International College of Surgeons, told CBS’s Sunday Morning.
What most struck him was his observation that the overwhelming majority of the patients he and his team treated were children:
“I’ve never seen that before. I’ve seen more incinerated children than I’ve ever seen in my entire life, combined. I’ve seen more shredded children in just the first week … missing body parts, being crushed by buildings, the greatest majority, or bomb explosions, the next greatest majority.”
Perlumutter, a Jew who grew up in New Jersey and who now lives in North Carolina, was also disturbed what what he attributed to precise rifle fire directed at children, some of whom were “shot twice.”
“I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest, I couldn’t put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately, and directly on the side of the head, in the same child. No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the ‘world’s best sniper.’ And they’re dead-center shots.“
His description of the phenomenon was confirmed to CBS News by more than 20 other doctors who’d recently visited Gaza. An American doctor had such a problem grasping what he was seeing that he double-checked using CT scans, saying he “didn’t believe that this many children could be admitted to a single hospital with gunshot wounds to the head.”
