James — Bernie Sanders is loud and clear that he will boycott Netanyahu’s speech in front of Congress. Pramila Jayapal and other pro-Peace progressives have said several other Democrats will join them to boycott and protest the speech.
So, why did the Democratic leaders in the House and Senate invite Netanyahu to speak? Why, as the Israeli military kills tens of thousands of Palestinians and causes mass starvation in Gaza, did Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries give Netanyahu a platform in Congress? There’s no good, moral, or political explanation — and that’s why we’re speaking out. Add your name: Demand that Schumer and Jeffries withdraw their invitation to Netanyahu. No Democrats should support this speech!
Schumer and Jeffries have given great legitimacy to Netanyahu’s regime AND handed the right-wing liars in Congress major political points. The GOP knows Netanyahu will use his speech to criticize Democrats and cheer on Republicans, who stand by his side without question. This has fueled Speaker Mike Johnson’s disgusting lies about Bernie, equating his boycott of Netanyahu’s address to “siding with terrorists.”
Reject Johnson and Netanyahu: Urge Democrats to boycott Netanyahu’s speech!
While Johnson, AIPAC, and other right-wingers continue to spread lies about what’s happening in Gaza, Bernie is steadfast in his position along with other pro-Peace progressives like Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman and others.
Bernie and our movement for Peace can see that Netanyahu is actively obstructing a Peace deal. How can Democrats sit and listen to the leader bombing Palestinian civilians, cutting off food and medical aid, AND acting as an obstacle to an immediate, permanent Ceasefire?
Schumer and Jeffries never should have signed their names alongside Johnson and Mitch McConnell. It’s a gift to the GOP and the head of the regime killing so many people in Gaza.
Add your name: Urge Schumer and Jeffries to rescind their support for Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. All Democrats should boycott the speech!
When we organize, we win.
