📢 How stupid does Benjamin Netanyahu think Americans and the rest of the world are?

Children are starving in Gaza because of Netanyahu’s policies. - Bernie Sanders

I am pissed. There is another report of an Israeli "wayward" strike that hit a school complex.¹ ² Of course, the Israeli military says that Hamas was working in the school. Zero proof, and even if they did, could they encircle them and wait for them out? Nope, let’s drop a strike on the kids at school. And just recently, seven aid workers were killed in Gaza as they attempted (and were approved to do so) to deliver food to the starving people in Gaza.³ As a mom, I am pissed that hospitals, food delivery trucks, and schools are being "accidentally bombed." How stupid do you think I am?

How stupid does Benjamin Netanyahu think Americans and the rest of the world are?

I have said it before, and I will say it again: what HAMAS did is despicable. They need to return the hostages immediately, and they need to be held accountable for their war crimes.

Additionally, with over 36,654 people dead in GAZA⁴ (made up of primarily women and children), almost 2 million people displaced from their homes, most of the country decimated, and a cruel famine ravaging the country, Benjamin Netanyahu and his military must also be held accountable for their war crimes. Israel has also started following the lead of China and Russia in using fake social media accounts to target US lawmakers so that also requires an investigation.⁵

Ok, now here is the part where I am really pissed. We keep funding the weapons for Israel with weak, mealy promises by Benjamin Netanyahu to do better. Now, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have sent an invite to Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before Congress. ⁶

I call B.S.

Listen, I believe we should arm our allies, and I think last time I checked, Israel was an ally of the United States. I don't think we should give arms or a stage to an ALLY gone rogue. Neither does Bernie⁷:
