Self-loathing Jewish Senator Bernie Sanders has announced he will boycott Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a joint meeting of Congress, labeling him a “war criminal” who should not be given a platform.
Netanyahu was invited Friday by leaders from both parties, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
“It is a very sad day for our country that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been invited… to address a joint meeting of the United States Congress,” Sanders said.
“Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. He should not be invited to address a joint meeting of Congress. I certainly will not attend.”
Sanders has been a vocal critic of Israel’s military offensive against Hamas, arguing that it has broken international law and should not receive further US foreign aid. He has also asserted a strawman argument that Israel cannot “destroy the entire people” in Gaza – which it is very obviously not doing.
Netanyahu has accepted the invitation to address Congress, eager to present “the truth” about Israel’s “just war” to the American people and the world.

When will old garlic breath finally kick the bucket?
Hey Bernie, I didn’t hear a peep from you when the US State Department was busy with its condolences for mass murderer Iranian President Raisi. Where were you then? Were you taking a nap with sleepy Joe?
If no body care they why report it. Also by reporting it, it just gives this self hating Jew a platform.
He’s clearly a tinok she’nishba and can’t be held accountable for things he has no way of knowing about. May Hashem have rachmanus on the neshomo of Benyamin ben Devorah Sanders (and also on the neshomo of Benyamin ben Tzila Netanyahu) and bring both of them close to His Holy Torah.
This shtick menivul is what happens to your child when you send him to a public school. He becomes like the other menivuls around him. Every Jewish child must be enrolled in a Yeshiva so that they will learn their lessons from the Torah not from the sewer.
Bernie Sanders is a sonai-Yisrael not “self-loathing” – where did you get that term from YWN?? He probably loves himself too much if anything!
Correction:
Sanders has been a vocal critic of Israel – always. Period. No matter the case or circumstances .
