Democrat lawmakers boycott Israeli president's address to joint session of Congress

The usual suspects of course. It's sickening and disgusting that these people are part of our Congress.

Israeli president to address Congress as Democratic divisions over Israel break out​

Israeli President Isaac Herzog is scheduled to deliver remarks before a joint meeting of Congress this week, a speech that is putting Democratic divisions over Israel on center stage.

The speech Wednesday is meant to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Israel’s statehood, and to reaffirm the U.S.-Israeli relationship. A number of progressive Democrats, however, announced last week that they would boycott Herzog’s speech in part as a protest against Israel’s policies towards Palestinians.

Adding to the dynamics, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) over the weekend said Israel was a “racist state” — a comment she walked back, but one that nonetheless drew strong pushback from inside the party.

I see it as a good thing, why subject a head of state to their sour and mean-spirited faces?
