Thousands of protesters plan to demand a “citizen’s arrest” of Netanyahu for committing crimes against humanity.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attends the weekly cabinet meeting at his office in Jerusalem on September 27, 2023.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attends the weekly cabinet meeting at his office in Jerusalem on September 27, 2023.Congressional leadership’s invitation for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of the U.S. Congress on July 24 was an act of political violence.
Beyond boycotting or protesting Netanyahu’s speech, if members of Congress want to truly get serious about stopping the genocide and ending the racist Israeli state’s illegal occupation and colonization of Palestinian land, they must withdraw their votes of financial, military and diplomatic support, and urge their colleagues to do the same. Anything less will be disastrously ineffective.
It is clear that Israel is intent on depopulating Gaza. And despite international outrage, the U.S. remains devoted to supporting the assault, which, of course, is very much in line with its own bloody history — one built on the mass genocide of Black and Indigenous people. This history is reflected in U.S. laws and ingrained in its culture, and is at the root of the country’s social, economic, racial and gender inequities.
Netanyahu knows that the game is over for him, and we can predict that his remarks will be filled with political grandstanding and deceptive and dangerous lies intended to justify the horror of the past nine and a half months.
