More than 200 congressional staffers sign letter protesting Netanyahu address
The Hill ^ | 07/18/2024 | Brad Dress

Posted on 07/18/2024 7:52:33 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

More than 200 anonymous staff members across 122 Democratic and Republican congressional offices signed a letter this week calling for Congress to protest or boycott Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech next week on Capitol Hill, citing concerns about the ongoing war in Gaza.

The letter, organized by the Congressional Progressive Staff Associationa nd signed by 230 House and Senate staffers, said speaking out against Netanyahu’s July 24 joint address to Congress was an “issue of morality” and not politics.

“Citizens, students, and lawmakers across the country and the world have spoken out against the actions of Mr. Netanyahu in his War on Gaza,” the letter reads. “Israelis have been protesting in the streets for months, decrying his failure to negotiate a ceasefire and release of hostages. We hope you will join your fellow Members of Congress in protest at his speech or in refusing to attend it.”

Protesters and anonymous staffers....

that’s how things get done.

Why not follow anifa and blm protesters and get policies and actions done through their demands?

No need for senators and house members to get involved. Just allow the staffers and protesters to make the decisions. Biden should resign because, there are people who think his mind is gone. And Trump should drop out of the race because, somebody hated him so much to the point of trying to murder him.

Leadership is overrated. Let the staggers and protestors make all the decisions.

435 members of The House and I would venture that each and every one of them has a staff of five or more. So 200 is not that many.

Exactly.

Perhaps they can get hand writing experts to see if all the “anonymous” signatures are unique. However, it could have been signatures from the Muslim Brotherhood.

How exactly do you sign a letter anonymously? Make up names? X witnessed by another X?

This is a good first choice of ones needing a loyalty test if DJTrump is allowed back in.

“Pass the lie detector test or we assign you to some office in some “...stan” country.”

Anonymous??? Bunch of crybaby losers. Tell us who you are if you believe this so much.


They signed a letter, so normally that would be easy to ID. The assumption is they signed in script which they don’t know how to do. One X looks like another

Israel became a nation in 1948. I was born in 1952.
The idea of a “palestinian state” was the Soviet supported Palestine Liberation Organization headed by the criminal Yasser Arafat, and became enblazoned with the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre.

Were it not for the self-appointed Arab terrorist groups, and their insane ideology, there would be no war. Since it is they who are the puddingsticks, it is they that accrue the smackdowns.

Those terrorist organizations believe in generational warfare.For there to be no war, requires there to exist no generations, from grey hair, to swaddling.

This is a new one. They can sign their name and then keep in Anonymous. Now tell me what does that prove. I got a letter here. It is signed by all the leaders of the world. But you just have to take my word for it. Just the kind of tactic the communist Hill would love. Only simple minded people would give it any meaning.

They learned their lesson from the 51 security experts who told us the Hunter laptop was Russia Russia Russia!

Those people have their names out there and can be made to deal with (ideally, anyway) their hideous act.

These staffers don’t have to worry about being wrong if nobody knows who they are.

It’s brilliant, I tell you, LOL.

No Republican staffers signed this document. They would not be involved with an organization named. Congressional Progressive Staff Association
