‘Terrible idea’: Bernie Sanders on Netanyahu addressing Congress as ICC seeks his arrest

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) weighs in on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's invitation to Congress as the ICC seeks a warrant for his arrest. #CNN #News

[@sergeitokmakovesq.9153]

Inviting Netanyahu to address Congress is a terrible idea for several reasons. First, it sends a problematic message to the international community by appearing to endorse his actions, which many have condemned as potential war crimes. This is not about being anti-Israel or antisemitic; it’s about holding leaders accountable for their actions. Criticizing Netanyahu and the Israeli government's actions does not equate to antisemitism; it is about standing against human rights violations and advocating for justice and peace. Bernie Sanders has consistently shown courage and integrity in his stance on this issue. He rightly calls out the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the disproportionate use of force that has led to the suffering of countless civilians. Bernie’s commitment to human rights and his unwavering principles make him a true leader in these challenging times. We need more voices like his in Congress, not more platforms for those who perpetuate violence and disregard international law.

[@chrisdurham1144]

Why is it Israel's problem thee's a humanitarian crisis? Thee's no government there and no infrastructure. Why must Israel bail out the civilians while they are prosecuting a war. I've never heard of a war whee one side is supposed to give aid to civilians. But, Israel is helping anyway. It's ridiculous, and it's just another reason why Hamas must be killed off. Netanyahu is appropriate to invite to Congress. He's not committing war crimes. Just because some people think so doesn't mean anything. People think a lot of things. The ICC prosecutor doesn't even know what a war crime is. All these protesters are insane talking about "genocide." Israel has never targeted civilians. And, yes, those inflammatory criticisms are anti-Semitic. To the core.

[@redstarchrille]

@@KateLopez-ys3nd Kid... he is... Systematically targeted and bombing both aid groups and civilians. Using torture and striping people their human rights. Using starvation and blockades on aid, along with giving information to milise groups that target and destroy food aid. Proposing a warrant is a strong evidence also he is, due to one has to have evidence to even start the process. Also in war and conflicts it's the nation that attack that should give aid to the civilianze, not others...

Netahyahu actually admitted guilt on USA live TV with CNN... He Said Quote "Israel has allowed 20,000 Trucks into Gaza since the start of the war"... Seeing you need 400-500 trucks a day to feed 2.3 Million People thats 45 days of food for a war thats gone on for over 190 days... or giving less than 25% of the required food for the population....

[@chrisdurham1144]

Why is it Israel's responsibility to feed the civilian population of a country it is invading? When has that ever been demanded of an invading force? When? There's no functioning government in Gaza; no infrastructure; no one to do ANYTHING for civilians, so why must Israel do EVERYTHING?

I don't want the U.S. govt officially supporting Netanyahu. We are supporting war crimes. Bernie's good, but I'm tired of people blaming Hamas when all they have ever done is to support the rights of the Palestinian people. What Sinwa did are not war crimes. Without the Oct 7 action the world would not be facing the Palestinian issue. Free Free Palestine!

[@MrBrock314]

That would be "ends justify the means' talk. Not great. Just because an action gets the right outcome doesn't make it the right action. This assumes there is only one path to any outcome which is almost invariably false.

"We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic of different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams." ~ Jimmy Carter, 39th president of the United States of America. His signature achievement as president was the Camp David Accords 🤝 signed by President Jimmy Carter, Egyptian President Anwar Sedat, 👏 and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin in September 1978, peace treaty signed March 1979. 👍 It's very important to understand that Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke against the Camp David Accords before President Anwar Sedat and Prime Minister Menachem Begin signed the Accords. The two leaders paid for this deal with their blood, having been assassinated by Islamic and Israeli extremists. I remember these assassinations and they were heartbreaking and brutal. 💔 😢
