The following is a transcript of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netantahu's speech to a joint meeting of Congress on March 3, 2015.
Thank you. Thank you...
Speaker of the House John Boehner, President Pro Tem Senator Orrin Hatch, Senator Minority -- Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. I also want to acknowledge Senator, Democratic Leader HarryReid. Harry, it's good to see you back on your feet.
I guess it's true what they say, you can't keep a good man down.
My friends, I'm deeply humbled by the opportunity to speak for a third time before the most important legislative body in the world, the U.S. Congress.
I want to thank you all for being here today. I know that my speech has been the subject of much controversy. I deeply regret that some perceive my being here as political. That was never my intention. I want to thank you, Democrats and Republicans, for your common support for Israel, year after year, decade after decade.

All Obama and Kerry are doing is trying to protect iran while they develop weapons. That is the only outcome of an agreement with iran.
The Prime Minister is a class act. Shame on the dems who didn't show up and those who were there, but didn't applaud.
What a Class Act.
Remember, Kiddies...this is what LEADERHSIP looks like! I know a lot of you haven’t experienced it much in your young lives...
So, I read earlier that there were fifty-something democrats boycotting the speech. Then I read that the number was 29. Anyone have an accurate number with names?
Thanks for posting that. That was an awesome speech!
I definitely stand with Israel!
Love the shout-out to Harry Reid.
Think the Mossad were the ones who tuned him up? LOL
