I would simply say check the body count for the rag-tag Hamas dip-shit leader, and check the body count for Benjamin Netanyahu- just over the last 6 months. A leader of a country that the US funds and supports and gives diplomatic cover to. Israel has killed ten times more civilians AT THE LEAST and probably if we had an accurate count twenty times more civilians. The real death count is easily in the 100,000 range but Israel has killed all of the record keepers to hide the actual count so it's been stuck at 30k for the last month. Israel is *objectively* without a doubt the worse person in this comparison. They've killed eons more people. This doesn't even include disabled, maimed, and people who are currently literally starving to death. Israel is trying to eliminate every single person in Palestine regardless of age or status. As long as they are brown and dark skinned, they are targets of the Israeli government. 30 years from now when we look back in history, the official death count from Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians the last 6 months will easily be in the multiple hundred thousand range, and if they have their way, it will be in the million range. And the people that continued to fund and support this will be seen as only a *bit* less horrific than Hitler or Pol-Pot or Mao were. History will look at the entire West poorly. Just like it always eventually happens.

[@PaulK-ve1pu]

The US avoided signing up to the ICC for just such a circumstance. It wants to be the sole arbiter of morality and conscience in the world. Well, I'm afraid it doesn't work like that any more. Netanyahu's visit will seal America's isolation and draw contempt around the world.

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.
