In just one week, the halls of Congress could become a stage for a war criminal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been invited to address a joint session on July 24th. This is a dangerous legitimization of brutality and suffering.
Let's be clear about who Congress has invited:
Netanyahu has weaponized starvation in Gaza, turning the necessities of food, clean water, and healthcare into tools of war. He's turned a deaf ear to millions pleading for a ceasefire, including the desperate families of hostages. Under his leadership, Gaza has seen death and devastation on an unprecedented scale.
This invitation is a slap in the face to every victim of Netanyahu's disastrous policies, to every mourning community, to every advocate for peace. We have one week to stop this. Tell Congress: Withdraw the invitation to Netanyahu now.
Netanyahu's record speaks for itself. He's manipulated U.S. public opinion, faced corruption charges, and even empowered Hamas to undermine peace efforts.
Giving him a platform in the heart of our democracy is unconscionable, yet leaders in Congress want to honor him with a public address to Congress.
They need to hear from us, loud and clear. They need to know that we won't stand by while they roll out the red carpet for Benjamin Netanyahu.
Let's show that America stands for peace, not brutality. That we value human life over political expediency. That we have the courage to say no to war criminals, even when they're allies.
Tell Congress: Withdraw the invitation to Netanyahu now.
Together, we can stop this dangerous legitimization of Netanyahu's brutality.
