Here’s a word cloud for Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu waves following his address to a joint session of the US Congress on March 3, 2015 at the US Capitol in Washington, DC. Netanyahu was invited by House Speaker John Boehner to address Congress without informing the White House.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a long-awaited and controversial speech before both houses of the United States Congress on Tuesday, and it was a doozy.
Bibi's been beating the drum about a nuclear Iran for as long as he's been prime minister, and his congressional speech was like a super aggressive drum solo interrupted by frequent standing ovations.

Critics in the United States and Israel have called the speech disrespectful to US President Obama (who didn't invite him, didn't attend, and is in the middle of nuclear negotiations with Iran), threatening to US-Israel relations, and politically inappropriate considering Israeli elections are two weeks away.
If you'd rather not wade through the slew of reactions that have come after the speech, this word cloud will give you a taste of what message Netanyahu wanted to send to Congress.
Not included: The 26 standing ovations during the speech.
