    So fucked it is even happening but at least we should get a good picture over which members of Congress are devotees to a foreign power so we can never vote for them again.

      I mean, Biden could choose to arrest him when he steps foot in the US, in accordance with international law, but he’s too busy enabling him, so on this issue, unfortunately, they’re not that different.

      On most other issues: sure they’re different, but Biden really is doing everything he can to turn off decent people that oppose genocide.

          The one in which international laws exist and the country that claims to abide by a “rules-based international order” actually follows through on that? Yeah, dude. It’s craaaazy.

              TIL it’s policing the world to abide by international law. You’re right: when the perpetrator of a genocide walks into your house, you shouldn’t do anything about it. Genocidal clown.

    If I had the time/money to get myself to DC when he’s there, I’d deck myself out in all my Magen David jewelry and a big fat “fuck you, Bibi” sign.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a joint session of Congress.

    Johnson told reporters Wednesday that he was working with Netanyahu on a date and would be sending the formal invitation this week.

    Johnson made the announcement in his keynote address for the Israeli Embassy event, which took place at the National Building Museum.

    Several other lawmakers attended the program, and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar of California also spoke.

    Earlier in March, Schumer delivered a fiery speech blasting Netanyahu, saying he had “lost his way” and calling for new elections in Israel.

    President Joe Biden later praised Schumer’s speech, saying “expressed a serious concern, shared not only by him but by many Americans.”


    The original article contains 392 words, the summary contains 126 words. Saved 68%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    “Tonight, I’m happy to announce something else to you: that we will soon be hosting Prime Minister Netanyahu at the Capitol for a joint session of Congress,” Johnson said in a speech marking Israel’s independence, hosted by the Israeli Embassy.

    “This will be a timely and, I think, a very strong show of support to the Israeli government in their time of greatest need,” he added.

    And a show of hostility towards the tens of thousands of civilians Israel has already killed, and the millions more who are currently being starved and bombed by Israel’s genocidal actions.

      …in a country that houses multiple war criminals, even as presidents.

      So, it’s totally on brand.

        Pretty sure everyone knows the GOP has been war hungry since forever. The larger problem is many Dems are also in that camp. The military is big business and neither party has motivation to change that because they enjoy the money

        They’ve exposed themselves as war mongers for decades and it hasn’t harmed them at all. What makes you think it’ll be different this year?
