More House Democrats Say 'No' to Netanyahu Speech to Congress
"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.
"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.

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.
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?
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
The more the better.
