There is a massive security presence here as the Secret Service, the Capitol Police, and other federal, state, and local police agencies are deployed in a wide perimeter around the Capitol grounds.

More than 10,000 angry, hostile, anti-Israel and anti-Netanyahu protesters have descended upon the city.

I’ve personally heard some saying, “We will kill all the Jews,” and “Go home, Jews,” and “Netanyahu, you’re not welcome in our country!”

One repugnant sign that I saw on my way to the Capitol read: “Go back home to Europe, Satanyahu.”

Having visited through security, I’m now here – just about to go inside the House Chamber – to watch the speech in person, after being invited by an Evangelical Member of Congress.

However, no one is allowed to bring phones into the House Chamber, so I won’t be able to post quotes, comments or photos during the speech.

So, when the address is over, I’ll file my story.

We’ll publish that and more continuing coverage here on ALL ISRAEL NEWS.
