Noura Erakat: During Netanyahu Speech, Congress Cheered "What Is Essentially a War on Children"

We speak with Palestinian human rights lawyer Noura Erakat about Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress, in which he defended Israel's brutal war on Gaza, lied repeatedly about the dire humanitarian conditions on the ground and refused to talk about how to reach a ceasefire to end the bloodshed. Although more than 100 Democrats skipped the speech, Erakat says the jubilant reaction from lawmakers in attendance showed U.S. leaders cheering "for what is essentially a war on children."

That have been universally condemned by the UN - with only 2 votes in opposition... USA and Israel.

Interesting that you represent the same misleading and uninformed arguments as the RW "exiles" in S Florida who want to take Cuba back to the "good old days" of the murderous Batista dictatorship, much the same as maga wants to take America back to the "good old days".

Interesting, that.
