Rashida Tlaib holds ‘war criminal’ sign as Netanyahu addresses Congress

The Democratic lawmaker Rashida Tlaib held up signs reading ‘war criminal’ and ‘guilty of genocide’ in US Congress on Wednesday as Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, delivered a speech to a joint session.

Israel rejects charges that is committing genocide in Gaza. The Michigan congresswoman has been a vocal critic of Israel’s war on Gaza and is the only Palestinian-American in Congress. In a post on X after the speech she wrote: ‘The apartheid government of Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Palestinians will not be erased. Solidarity with all those outside of these walls in the streets protesting and exercising their right to dissent’.

Bernie Sanders mistakenly called him the first War Criminal to address Congress, completely ignoring GW Bush.

It takes a stronger person to defy social influence and stand against the collective than blindly follow

[zcydssh]

Netanyahu's lying, hypocritical, self-serving speech was truly disgraceful and it is a stain on the us that he was allowed to address the House.

Paid for democracy. Wonder if things are any different for the UK parliament. Labour and Tories support the same WEF policies. Time for change.

The recent disregard for International Court of Justice (ICJ) arrest warrants by Israel and Western leaders highlights a concerning double standard. Given this precedent, Asian and African leaders should reconsider the credibility and authority they afford to the ICJ.
