On July 24th, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will address a joint session of Congress in Washington. Sixteen members of Congress are boycotting his visit.

As someone who stands starkly against American values, international humanitarian law, and is responsile for the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians since October 7, Netanyahu must not be given a platform to address the U.S. Congress.

Your elected officials are meant to represent YOU. Please urge your members of Congress to boycott Netanyahu’s visit. 

What is happening: Since October 7, over 37,000 Palestinians have been killed, with tens of thousands injured or missing. What we are seeing now is an unfathomable humanitarian crisis unfolding, with the entire population of Gaza facing a collapse of infrastructure, essential facilities, and food supply.

This would be the second time that Netanyahu has been afforded this privilege at the U.S. Congress. In 2015, Netanyahu also addressed Congress and interfered in U.S. policy by criticizing then-President Obama’s efforts at reaching a nuclear deal with Iran. It is inappropriate for someone like Netanyahu to be given another opportunity to insult the intelligence of the American people, where he is expected to call for more unconditional support for his war on Gaza and Palestinians. With a pending International Criminal Court arrest warrant, Netanyahu does not belong in the U.S. Capitol.
