While the US Congress gave Netanyahu a standing ovation, an Israeli demonstrator in Tel Aviv/Tal-Habbib denounced US complicity in the genocide in Gaza.
Congress gave Netanyahu 58 standing ovations in his 53 minute speech; more than one per minute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LI8lTG7ht4
Apparently according to recent polls, over 70% of the US population wants a cease-fire in gaza. Considering less than a handful of congress-members agreed with them, that makes 99% of the US congress opposing the will of the people. Very democratic country, yes.
According to one recent poll, the number is 67%, and they didn't poll for a range of definitions of ceasefire to try to suss out exactly what that means. Like, many people would only accept a ceasefire that would more or less erase Hamas, but there is no sign of that happening. Instead, everything (including somewhat agree) was just lumped together to produce 67%.
I've seen elsewhere (I'll try to find the source but I've got a busy day ahead of me so it may be in a day or two) that like the Oscars, Congress was filling empty seats with people to give the illusion that it was widely supported.
Jeb Bush's wet dream
Braver than the troops.
She is brave, period. There is a crackdown and violence towards anyone who dares protest the war crimes in Gaza, or even post against it on social media.
She is also in a super minority of 2% of Israelis who oppose the genocide.
Is it really as low as 2%?
Unless people are afraid to speak up, that’s what the polls say.
Pew Research has it at 4%
Israeli Arabs *
-[sic]-are much more likely than Jews to say the country’s military response has gone too far (74% vs. 4%).https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/30/israeli-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/
* the term Israeli Arab is rejected by the majority of Palestinians living within the Green Line. The term purposefully erases Palestinian identity.
She is brave, period
A poor choice of words
Okay, but if you're in Israel, why are you pointing the finger at the US?
I'm here defense...this is definitely how more and more of the world is seeing the states...
Israeli’s against Israel
This is a cool way to protest.
Spraying "HAMAS is comin" wasn't.
Sorry, congress did what??
They gave Netanyahu a standing ovation. 58 times. In one hour.
to be fair, some people just love genocide.
