“Five percent of the population is now dead or wounded. Sixty percent of them are women and children. Some 200,000 housing units have been completely destroyed,” he continued. “Every university in Gaza has been bombed. There is now imminent starvation taking place.”
“So why you would invite somebody who has done such horrific things to the Palestinian people?” Sanders added. “I think it’s a very bad idea.”
Thank you Bernie.
God he’s nice to have around
He alone cant put out the dumpster fire of corporate flaming shit that is DC.
Should have been him.
“If Netanyahu comes to address Congress, I would be more than glad to show the ICC the way to the House floor to issue that warrant,” said Rep. Mark Pocan.
classically based
So many things would be better if the ICC had any power in the US :(
Instead, because it was established in the middle of our aughts war crime spree, we passed the Invade the Hague if they Arrest any of Our War Criminals Act.
I hear people in the Upper Midwest sometimes accidentally drive to Canada because of confusing signage and/or accidentally taking one wrong turn.
Someone might be able to exploit that to get him to an ICC signatory country without being tried for kidnapping or trafficking…
Shit, if you’re on surface streets you can cross the Mexican border by accident, and getting back in is a hassle.
From the Upper Midwest?! Exactly HOW fast IS your car?? 😛
Lol, no I meant where I live in the Southwest
guess it’s up to us to bring him in…
And so many people who deserve it would be in jail.
So Johnson didn’t invite Kenya’s president to speak in Congress, even as Kenya is leading an international mission to try to bring stability to Haiti which should do more to solve what the Republicans see as a border crisis than the Republicans ever did, but he’s inviting Netanyahu. Morals aside, is he trying to torpedo what’s left of the US’s international influence?
Yes. But also the GOP has noticed the democrats are split over Israel. So they’re trying to throw gas on that divide before the election.
Nope, he’s trying to be Moses.
Well me too, but I only do the “hang out with a burning bush” part.
Moses didn’t get to live in the nation he created.
Not to well-actually you, but there’s no archeological evidence to suggest the entire flight-from-Egypt thing actually happened.
Israelites, as a whole, were never enslaved by Egypt and never wandering through the desert. There probably were refugees absorbed that came up from Egypt, which creates the stories that then became part of the collective psyche, but it was a relative handful.

Lindsey Graham never found an issue he couldn’t be stupidly hyperbolic about.
I find it rather ironic. It sounds like an admission of guilt lol
He’s such a drama queen.
“They’ll come for the gays next! i know what I’m talking about, because I’ve come for the gays many, many times.”
In more ways than one?
Hilariously this statement was followed by cheering.
Could backfire on the GOP if he publicly praises Biden for his support.
More likely though Bibi will shit all over Biden despite his unwavering support, which I would think would snap Biden out of this lunacy but I can’t imagine him changing his stance at this point.

This is far more likely. Biden like many Democrats has been blindly pro-Isreal for literally 4-5 decades. He’s a sure thing and he will be treated as such. There’s no advantage to praising Biden and no disadvantage to shitting on him. Seems Israel has more of a right to American tax dollars than Americans do .
Short term yes, but it is a strategic risk long term.
Part of the reason Democrats are turning on Netenyahu (and, by association, Israel) is genuine policy concerns and grassroot pressure.
However, another part of his problem with Democrats is that he has spent the past decade inserting himself into US politics as a Republican alligned figure. That both makes Democratic politicians more willing to oppose him, and gives the Democratic base a permission structure for opposing him.
Biden has supported far more than he should, but it absolutely not been unwavering. Are you even paying attention?
Wavering in aesthetic, maybe.
I think he paused weapons for all of 24 hours and has chosen to obstruct any accountability from the UN and ICC
Could backfire on the GOP if he publicly praises Biden for his support.
Nah, that will be spun as “Genocider praises genocider” by the left. There’s no way this looks good for Biden and they’re at least smart enough not to interrupt their enemy when they’re making a mistake.
Good to see this from House Democrats.
My country is red when I think it should be green. I’m not happy about it. Sanders always makes the most sense.
Saying such things makes them call you anti-Semitic. Even though you are supporting Bernie, a jewish man who is also calling for an end to this slaughter.
Even though he’s not my representative, I just donated to him for speaking the truth.
The more the better.
Netanyahu hasn’t figured out that the US is a country on the decline yet? He should be asking for support elsewhere.
Like Russia or China. Am i right komrade.

I’m stupid for posting an article? Care to explain that logic?
Lmao this was meant as a response somewhere else and my dumbass hit the post reply button. You’re not stupid. I love you ❤️
lol it happens
That’ll show him!
What exactly are they supposed to do?
Exactly what they did to Apartheid South Africa and Putin’s Russia.
Which is what? Vote against any bills supporting them? Vote in favor of bills that are against them?
Because they’re already doing that.
So what else would you have them do?
Pass legislation to boycott and sanction them. Which they’re NOT doing.
The vast majority of Democrats are not even doing what little YOU’RE saying they are, instead going all in on the Zionist genocide-denying agenda of Biden and the GOP.
First of all, Democrats don’t control congress. Expecting them to do the impossible is ludicrous.
Secondly, we’re talking about these specific Democrats and not all Democrats. Please do not muddy the waters.
So, again, what should these specific Democrats do?
First of all, Democrats don’t control congress
The GOP majority is so razor thin that the power of the speaker is pretty much the only difference between the current situation and them being in control. And the speaker’s chair is getting awfully wobbly…
Secondly, we’re talking about these specific Democrats and not all Democrats. Please do not muddy the waters.
Ok, that’s fair. My apologies.
So, again, what should these specific Democrats do?
Lobby their colleagues in the Senate and the White House for the aforementioned boycott and sanctions, rally their constituency behind the cause, generally do a better job of forcefully repudiating the criminal leader of a fascist apartheid regime currently committing genocide than saying lukewarm stuff like “it’s not a good time right now” and “too divisive”
Lobby their colleagues in the Senate and the White House for the aforementioned boycott and sanctions, rally their constituency behind the cause,
What makes you think they aren’t doing that?
generally do a better jobof forcefully repudiating the criminal leader of a fascist apartheid regime currently committing genocide than saying lukewarm stuff like “it’s not a good time right now” and “too divisive”
They’re literally doing more than that. RTFA. Hell, read the one sentence quote from the article at the top.
So they’re doing what you want and it’s still not good enough.
