The progressive “squad” members have been fueling the flames of unrest over the Israel-Palestine conflict, naturally supporting Palestine. Squad member Rep. Tlaib (D-Mich) called for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has accused him of genocide, coming forth with these claims on May 7. She is bypassing every branch of Washington and calling upon the International Criminal Court to immediately imprison the prime minister of a foreign nation for violating the Genocide Convention.
There is no unity in Washington. Twelve US Senators penned a letter to Karim A. A. Khan, the prosecutor for the ICC, stating that arresting Netanyahu or any Israeli officials would lead to the US retaliating. Now, neither Israel or the US are even ICC members but our lawmakers are issuing massive threats to leaders of foreign nations without understanding the consequences.
“By issuing warrants, you would be calling into question the legitimacy of Israel’s laws, legal system, and democratic form of government,” the letter stated. “Issuing arrest warrants for the leaders of Israel would not only be unjustified, it would expose your organization’s hypocrisy and double standards,” the letter notes. “If you issue a warrant for the arrest of the Israeli leadership, we will interpret this not only as a threat to Israel’s sovereignty but to the sovereignty of the United States,” the senators said. “The United States will not tolerate politicized attacks by the ICC on our allies. Target Israel and we will target you.”
This is precisely why we need competent leadership in Washington as Joe Biden cannot act as a mediator. Throwing fuel on the fire, the letter also stated that perhaps warrants should then be issued for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and even Chinese President Xi Jinping.
We are permitting these representatives to speak on major international matters that are certain to offend people in high positions.
Ilhan Omar, another useless squad member, has done everything to promote civil unrest at US universities while also accusing Israel of genocide. “I think it is really unfortunate that people don’t care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe and that we should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide.”
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a squad associate, recently attended a fundraising event in New York co-hosted by an Islamic extremist who said he was “happy to see” the October 7 attack on Israeli civilians. “The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege – the walls of the concentration camp – on Oct. 7,” Nihad Awad said during the 16th annual Convention for Palestine on Nov. 24 near Chicago. “And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land that they were not free to walk in,” Nihad Awad said at the event.
The squad and the “progressives” are openly supporting Hamas and not just the Palestinian people. The world is looking at America as a banana republic where there is no clear alignment in government. Perhaps we should stop sending US funding to anyone until Washington can come to an agreement on which side we are supporting.
