As the death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza tops 39,100, tens of thousands of protesters plan to march on Capitol Hill today during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress. Dozens of Democratic lawmakers plan to boycott the speech, including Senators Dick Durbin, Chris Van Hollen, Jeff Merkley, Patty Murray and Bernie Sanders. “Congress has made a terrible mistake in inviting Netanyahu,” says award-winning Israeli scholar David Harel, who co-authored a New York Times essay, “We Are Israelis Calling on Congress to Disinvite Netanyahu.” Harel says Netanyahu “does not represent a majority of Israelis.”
