No. 2 Senate Democrat: I would not have invited Netanyahu to address Congress
The Hill ^ | 06/04/2024 | ALEXANDER BOLTON -

Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), the No. 2-ranking Senate Democratic leader, on Tuesday said he would not have invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress.

Durbin broke with the top four congressional leaders — Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) – who invited Netanyahu in a May 31 to address Congress.

“I’ve been waiting for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to embrace a two-state solution, which I believe is the only way to go forward in Israel,” Durbin told reporters.

“I would not have sent the letter of invitation,” he said when asked whether Netanyahu should address Congress.

What a stupid, idiotic POS Durbin is!

No wonder Illinois is so phuqued up, to have politicians as disconnected from reality as this bozo.

or maybe its the other way around, the phuqued up Useful Idiot voters get what they deserve

ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT is that it is the American people as a whole, not just citizens of Illinois, that suffer from having such a mental case in the UNITED STATES Senate

if he were in the Illinois Senate, the rest of the country would not be damaged so greatly by his occupying a political office.

We sure hope that the good citizens of Illinois will find it possible to send someone better, far far better, to Washington next time!

Dick Durbin said: “I would not have sent the letter of invitation,”,

"and for that matter wouldn't have him at my Country Club, either..."

Brace yourselves l expect him to praise Biden during the speech. I am sure from Israel it looks like Trump is finished after NY. Bibi thinks he is stuck with Biden now

WE have over 20 years of discussions bout a 2 STATE SOLUTION.

DURBIN needs a history lesson about WHO is NOT supporting such, and WHY.

A color revolution…just like in Ukraine.

And when someone fights back against them…it’s “unprovoked aggression.”

It is the arrogance of a power that feels invulnerable against any internal or external enemy…marching toward world conquest.

A huge conflagration will result at some point. And likely that arrogant power will not survive it.

They’ll try to kill him while he’s here.

If the aholes can sneak in Code Pink protestors with banners, they can sneak in an assassin.

So do like you RATS usually do when you get your panties in a twist. Don’t show up, walk out, or dress in whatever color you idiots choose to protest it. The solution its as simple as you are Dick.

“Until he embraces a two-state solution, I don’t think we can realistically expect this conflict to end,” Durbin said."

Sure Dick, Hamas murdered men, women and children and took hostages on October 7th 2023, all because Netanyahu hasn't embraced a two-state solution. What an idiot.

He's been called Turdbin here in the past.
