Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has just accepted the invitation to address both Houses of Congress during his defensive war to exterminate Hamas.
Netanyahu wrote on X: “I am thrilled by the privilege to represent Israel before both houses of Congress and to present the truth about our just war against those seeking our lives to the representatives of the American people and the entire world.”
אני נרגש מהזכות לייצג את ישראל בפני שני בתי הקונגרס ולהציג את האמת על המלחמה הצודקת שלנו נגד מבקשי נפשנו בפני נציגי העם האמריקאי והעולם כולו. pic.twitter.com/biMO3bcOXo

Of course, bigoted Bernie Sanders called Netanyahu a war criminal and said he should have never been invited to speak before Congress:
Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. He should not be invited to address a joint meeting of Congress. I certainly will not attend.

I’m sure there will be plenty who will follow Sanders with his boycott because there are plenty of antisemites in Congress. Ugh.
