"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..
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.
Lindsey Graham never found an issue he couldn't be stupidly hyperbolic about.
“They’ll come for the gays next! i know what I’m talking about, because I’ve come for the gays many, many times.”
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 .
Biden has supported far more than he should, but it absolutely not been unwavering. Are you even paying attention?

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.
