        Can we get Harrison Ford as pilot? Love the man, but he keeps crashing his planes so it just seems like a good match.

    “Tonight, I’m happy to announce something else to you: that we will soon be hosting Prime Minister Netanyahu at the Capitol for a joint session of Congress,” Johnson said in a speech marking Israel’s independence, hosted by the Israeli Embassy.

    “This will be a timely and, I think, a very strong show of support to the Israeli government in their time of greatest need,” he added.

    And a show of hostility towards the tens of thousands of civilians Israel has already killed, and the millions more who are currently being starved and bombed by Israel’s genocidal actions.

      Ackchyually, he technically is. Semites, though now a defunct term, applied to any people that spoke a Semitic language.Arabs, Phoenicians, Jews, etc. It’s only after WW2 people erroneously assumed it meant just Jewish people—due to certain events at the time—and the term remained alive and evolved that way.

      So in a traditional sense, Little Ben is becoming his own Little Hitler.

      Guys, vote for us again and we promise we’ll stop him next time.

      Edit: don’t forget Biden called it outrageous that the ICC has labelled Netanyahu a war criminal.

    I’m looking forward to it. It could really give some insight into what the plan is for after the Rafah offensive. I hope some lawmakers are brave enough to ask tough questions about the ending of the war.

    If I had the time/money to get myself to DC when he’s there, I’d deck myself out in all my Magen David jewelry and a big fat “fuck you, Bibi” sign.
