    “Freedom of Speech” is not “Freedom to get a free soapbox anywhere you feel like whenever you feel like”.

    In your version, anybody in the World has a right to address Congress whenever they feel like, in which case it should be first come first served and Netanyahu can join the line just everybody else (as giving priority to some would interfere in everybody else’s “Freedom”).

      No one is saying free speech is giving the entire world a soapbox wherever they want .

      We’re talking about someone who has been invited by the speaker of the House to speak in front of Congress. This isn’t any random person on a soapbox. This is the speaker of the House of Representatives making an official US government invitation to an ally. Undermining that is absolutely stifling Free speech.

        That’s still not free speech tho.

        But in any case, why does it matter?

        Is Bibi a US citizen?
