In Congress today, the war criminal who has starved, killed and maimed tens of thousands of Palestinians was given standing ovations and 70 applause breaks.
It wasn’t the only thing that happened. Over 100 Democrats boycotted the address and thousands protested outside. Still, I think this cartoon captures the spectacle of what happened inside the building.
All of the worst ones just didn’t attend. Most of those in congress who “protested” by being absent for his speech still give their full support to Biden when he directly supplies the genocide with money and bombs. If you’re committed, the only way to change anything is to deny your support to anyone who doesn’t outright demand an end to the occupation of Palestine. Silence is complicity in suffering of this magnitude.
I will move my line in the sand a little more slowly than you I suppose but ahoy!
