Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress mentioned Iran 107 times (none of them positive). Predictably, Iranian Twitter lit up, with thousands of mentions of the hashtag #ShutUpNetanyahu and accomanying bile.
Users from Tehran, and Iranian Americans, published memes and cartoons portraying Netanyahu as a leader of terror organization, distributing images from the last war in Gaza, and worse. Most just expressed their distaste at Netanyahu’s vilification of Iran and his claims about its nuclear capacity.
