Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address a joint meeting of Congress next month, a move that is sparking calls for protests across the United States.

Congressional leaders announced July 24 as the date of the address late Thursday, almost one week after they invited the Israeli prime minister to speak before American lawmakers.

In their letter to Netanyahu, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell - both Republicans - said the invitation was extended to “build on our enduring relationship and to highlight America’s solidarity with Israel.”

I hope this vile scum bag dies some day soon in a humiliating fashion.

Oh wonderful. I can't wait for the US media to cry out against the US government for hosting a world leader with an ICC arrest warrant, like they cried out against South Africa when Putin visited them.

Even though the US is a crusader for international law, so they will probably still arrest him.

Right guys?

"mmkay, we're gonna keep killing Palestinian kids" Biden cries over a red-line and sends another shipment of bunker-busters. Republicans cheer. McConnell gets a turgid boner for the first time in 8 years. All is business as usual in America.
