The Spin

Inviting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the US Congress amid the Gaza violence goes against the very grain of the founding ideals of the United States. How will the representatives of the US people answer questions on the extensive civilian casualties and displacement caused by Israel's actions? Especially with the disproportionate impact on women, children, and the elderly.

Common Dreams

There never has been a more important moment for the US to stand by the state of Israel as the besieged nation fights terror on its own terms. America will reinforce its traditional solidarity with Israel by having Netanyahu speak to its representatives. The ultimate aim must never be lost sight of: defense of democracy, enduring peace, and an end to terror.

netanyahu's potential address to the US Congress has put Pres. Biden and other Democrats in a delicate position — balancing support to Israel with acknowledging the Gaza tragedy. The event is a politically charged move by Republicans, aimed at exposing divisions within the Democratic caucus.
