Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said late Tuesday that Democratic and Republican leaders should withdraw their invitation for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak at a joint meeting of Congress next month after he released a video attacking the Biden administration for "withholding" weapons from Israel's military. "This man should not be addressing Congress. He is a war criminal," Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) wrote on social media. "And he certainly has no regard for U.S. law, which is explicitly designed to prevent U.S. weapons from facilitating human rights abuses." "His invitation should be revoked," she added. "It should've never been sent in the first place."

All of this seems like common sense and a welcome level of sanity in the face of constant bombardment by blind partisans of both camps. Also, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, right as usual but probably ignored again. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
