Bernie Sanders denounces 'war criminal' Benjamin Netanyahu's US Congress address

Addressing the US Senate before Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming congressional address, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders said Israel’s war on Gaza has 'trampled on international law, on American law, and on basic human values'.

Sanders described the conflict as 'one of the worst disasters in modern history', saying it has been 'aided and abetted' by the United States.

What is the point of having an International law if this law does not apply to some who have placed themselves above the law with the help of the USA, this makes a mockery of the law

[Martynjs]

Spot on. If this were happening in Russia, Iran, China, and so on the US government would be all over it calling for all sorts of sanctions and international condemnation. How on earth Netanyahu can be allowed to enter the US is beyond insulting to humanity.

Thank you Bernie. Hope Netanyahu is arrested and prosecuted.

[ramblchat]

it's nice to see at least one politician has kept his morality.

Bernie Sanders is speaking the truth - why is Netanyahu being welcomed???

[dylandavidson]

The man should be finishing his second term right now

[PhilistineTheArtLuvr]

This man has some balls, what a rare picture to see in US politics. If Dwight Eisenhower was alive today he' would've told Israel to step back and cool it off. After all, the PLO signed a peace agreement with Israel ;in 1993, over 30 years ago. And Israel has to yet to live up to it. All because Netanyahu has been in power since then and refuses to honor that agreement.

Seems that few are in the senate when truth is being spoken.

[susettehorspool]

Thank you for calling it out like it is, Bernie Sanders. There are more US citizens who believe the same as you than you know, myself included. Netanyahu has long been trying to erase Gaza and take it over. This latest war of his is appalling!.

[Ethreality]

Thank you, Bernie, for not only your common sense, but also your humanity and compassion.

[Jeddidiah]

A voice of reason in a sea of corruption. There is hope for America.

[wendydoak]

US Congress is shameful to welcome Bibi. Thank you, Bernie

[Fyrestar]

Outrageous for him to be allowed to come to our country!!

[thesummerland]

bless you Bernie Sanders, for speaking out against genocide

[jin]

Such a disgrace that the actual politicians that would HELP the U.S. will be forever ignored and shut out like Bernie.

Huge respect to him for speaking the truth regardless.

[MenilaPaper]

Nice we are allowed to talk about the facts on the ground without being called anti-Semitic.

[RolaElay]

You're describing a genocide not a "war".

[tomanderson]

Arrest Netanyahu and send him to the Hague.

[sidewinder]

Netanyahu got standing ovations for everything he said at congress. Absolute madness.

[mariapadilla]

Netanyahu is the problem and not the solution. BB has to go to Washington to check on his employees. Congress Should Get Up And All Walk Out When He Speaks.
