There were many reactions to the powerful speech delivered by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday but the response of Chareidi journalist, Aryeh Erlich, the editor of the Hebrew Mishpacha, was the most thought-provoking.
“Hundreds of members of Congress
The richest man in the world [a reference to Elon Musk]
All US TV channels and hundreds more outside it
80 rounds of applause.
55 standing ovations
In the name of 200 million Americans who cheered and cheered and cheered
One of the best hasbarah [public relations] events in history
But in Israel,
The bitter opposition
The midget
Was unable to rise to the greatness of the occasion.
I want to say two simple words:
Thank you, Netanyahu.”
Erlich continued: “Netanyahu fulfilled his promise to the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Netanyahu spoke in a Jewish (יהודי), believing (אמוני), and Biblical (תנ”כי) manner. That’s what the Rebbe requested of Netanyahu in their meeting 40 years ago. He now fulfilled it brilliantly. And listen to the cheering!”
Senator Ted Cruz praised Netanyahu’s speech by stating: “Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the joint session of Congress today was Churchillian.”
“He understands the gravity of the war in Israel, the existential threat to our Israeli allies, and the staggering risks posed to American national security. The same terrorists who hate Jews also hate Christians. I am proud to stand unequivocally with Israel — they have the right and indeed the obligation to defend their citizens. The US should support Israel as they utterly eradicate Hamas, for as long as it takes.”

Actually, the Lubavitcher Rebbe told him not to become Prime Minister. I believe he wanted him to remain an ambassador.
Incorrect! The Rebbe emphatically told Sharon to stick to the military, and not delve into
politics. Halevai he had listened.
No such message to Netanyahu.
You might be confusing with general Sharon the Rebbe told him to stay in the military and not enter politics. It was at a time when they blamed him for Shatila or something like that and he was demoted. He was upset and thought to leave the military and run for a political position. I don’t remember more details but I never heard that or similar said about Netanyahu.
what a disgusting praise of a rasha
Till now the Zionists have used the Holocaust to justify their right to Israel. This is historical that a secular Jew referred to the Torah as justification to settle the Land. Also the quoting a possuk in the Torah is significant

The chief Zionist heretic spoke as a Zionist, which means not Jewish, non-believing in G-d and not any more biblical than any Christian clergyman. Not once did the idolater even mention Hashem. Yet, that’s “Jewish” and “faithful”? Why? Because he misquoted “עם כלביא יקום” — as a support for the anti-Jewish Zionism, that makes it “Jewish”? This is sick and anti-Jewish.
So pathetic. Mishpacha, as usual, adopts the Zionist playbook in distorting Judaism while claiming to be (loyal to) Judaism. The gedolim knew what they were doing when they banned that insidious publication, of course.

The Zionists have always abused the Torah for their propaganda purposes. Their first Dear Leader did so, too, despite being no less a heretic than the others.
