Related: About this forum"Terrible Mistake": Leading Israelis Say Netanyahu's Invite to Address Congress Rewards Bad Behavior
As the death toll from Israels war on Gaza tops 39,100, tens of thousands of protesters plan to march on Capitol Hill today during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus address to a joint session of Congress. Dozens of Democratic lawmakers plan to boycott the speech, including Senators Dick Durbin, Chris Van Hollen, Jeff Merkley, Patty Murray and Bernie Sanders. Congress has made a terrible mistake in inviting Netanyahu, says award-winning Israeli scholar David Harel, who co-authored a New York Times essay, We Are Israelis Calling on Congress to Disinvite Netanyahu. Harel says Netanyahu does not represent a majority of Israelis.

whereas Johnson is just infatuated with the idea of Armageddon because he's afraid of dying alone, and wants company.
