Guilty Of Genocide

I will never back down in speaking truth to power.

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.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib

During Netanyahu’s address to the U.S. Congress and Senate, 7/24/24

"The House voted on Friday to expel Republican Rep. George Santos of New York after a critical ethics report on his conduct that accused him of converting campaign donations for his own use. He was just the sixth member in the chamber’s history to be ousted by colleagues."

Congressman Jamaal Bowman:

“Netanyahu is a war criminal.”

“It is a shame that he is addressing Congress.”

“Our tax dollars should not be spent on killing children.”

Additionally, based on the video, it sounds more like they are angry about the migrants being violent and/or a threat to the seniors, children and their homes, but that doesn’t change the overall hypocrisy.

అరుణ ప్రశ్నః

https://mronline.org/2024/07/26/netanyahus-speech-was-as-american-as-it-gets/

"Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress was everything you’d expect: packed full of lies and propaganda spin, yet simultaneously very illuminating and revealing."

"Depending on how politically aware you are, this spectacle could be perceived as either deeply un-American, or as American as it gets."

"He made the completely baseless claim that Iran may be paying the anti-genocide demonstrators outside the Capitol Building during his speech [...]"

"Netanyahu went out of his way to frame Israel’s plight as civilized people against uncivilized barbarians, which only works if you harbor a supremely racist worldview."

"Netanyahu said Israel “must retain overriding security control” over Gaza “for the foreseeable future”, an open admission of plans for indefinite military occupation."

"You couldn’t ask for a better example of everything Washington stands for than this. Both houses of Congress rising to feverishly applaud one of history’s worst genocidal monsters dozens of times as he lies over and over again is a much better representation of what the U.S. government is about than anything you’ll see during the presidential race from now until November.

This is everything Israel is, and this is everything the U.S. empire is. They’re showing you who they are. Believe them."

The latest news re: the Brazilian congress invasion is that around 400 of the Bolsonaro supporters who stormed the buildings have been arrested.

Also, they’re (finally) calling it an act of terrorism on TV now.
