Comedy Central star and Daily Show host Jon Stewart poked fun at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Republican legislators on Tuesday in the wake of the Israeli leader’s speech to Congress earlier that day.

Stewart quipped that the extended ovation which the prime minister received after the address must have been “the longest blowjob a Jewish man has ever received.”

Stewart also criticized Republican representatives for praising Netanyahu’s speech, as he asserted that had any other foreign leader spoken out against a GOP candidate’s foreign policy at Congress, the reaction would have been overwhelmingly negative.

“They would have gone f*cking bananas,” Stewart argued. “Republicans would have demanded the inviters be arrested for sedition and treason.”

After his speech to the joint houses of Congress, Netanyahu met Tuesday with the bipartisan leadership of the US Senate, saying he was “moved” by the response from both parties.
