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.’”
