ACTION ALERT: Tell Congress to
Boycott or Disrupt Netanyahu’s Speech
Justice Democrats
(June 19, 2024) — Under far-right Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli military has killed at least 36,000 Palestinians, destroyed over 70 percent of civilian infrastructure, and dropped more bombs on Gaza than were dropped in Germany during World War II.
And yet, U.S. leaders invited Netanyahu to give a joint address to Congress on July 24. It is utterly shameful.
Netanyahu is a war criminal overseeing the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians — there is no good reason for him to be given this platform.
Netanyahu and his administration are still actively carrying out what historian Robert Pape has called “one of the most intense civilian punishment campaigns in history.”
Not only does the Israeli military continue to bomb refugee camps, schools, and hospitals in Gaza, but they’re still blocking desperately needed food, water, and medical aid from reaching those who need it. As a result, more than 1 million Palestinians could soon starve due to this man-made famine.
We need our leaders in Washington to stop using our taxpayer dollars to send billions in weapons and bombs to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire and the release of all hostages — not roll out the red carpet for Netanyahu.
Note: In March 2015, 60 US lawmakers boycotted
Netanyahu’s speech before Congress
