Alaska’s Sen. Dan Sullivan wrote on X/Twitter about America’s loyalty and promises to Israel, and criticized the vice president of the United States, who is the presiding member of the Senate, for skipping out on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s historic speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
“He laid out the stakes,” Sullivan said of Netanyahu. “This is an axis of evil with regard to Iran, an axis of chaos. It’s literally barbarism vs. civilization.”
It’s customary for the vice president to preside during a joint session of Congress, but Vice President Kamala Harris was nowhere to be seen in the Capitol. Neither she nor President Joe Biden greeted Netanyahu as he disembarked his jet on Monday in the United States. Harris, now the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, is set to meet with Netanyahu privately after President Joe Biden meets with him on Thursday. Former President Donald Trump will meet with the Israeli prime minister on Friday at Mar-a-Lago.
During the Netanyahu speech, pro-Hamas rioters outside the building were pepper sprayed by U.S. Capitol Police as they became violent, burned the American flag, and shouted invectives against Israel and Netanyahu.
“It is disheartening to see Vice President Harris and senior Democrats boycotting an address from Israel’s prime minister at a moment of unprecedented vulnerability for America’s closest ally in the Middle East. We should be reinforcing, not undermining, the decades-long, bipartisan support for this critical democracy, recognizing Israel’s right to exist in peace and security,” Sullivan said after the speech ended.
Here’s Sen. Sullivan’t immediate reaction to the speech:
Sen. Lisa Murkowski made no mention of the speech and Rep. Mary Peltola was possibly absent, not spotted in the chambers.
FYI Dan our commitment is to Israel not Netanyahu, I know you are used to supporting a man who has been charged with multiple crimes. While you claim to be pro-life it seems you have no problem with the attempted genocide that is happening in the GAZA Strip. I know war expenditures are good for your donors pocket books which means you can ask for more political donations.
Back away from your bong.
Masked Pedo could probably use some THC… with a heavy dose of Lithium to keep the voices at bay.
More than 60 percent of Israelis dislike the Israeli leader and his wife and the far, far-right cohort that he courts to stay in power (and out of jail).
Although obsequiously pointing out the ‘heroes’ of this war, this fellow showed up at the Congress of the United States of America to beg more money to support killing more Palestinian citizens. He didn’t even attempt to propose how to end the military action or justify immorality he perpetrates in starving and outright killing innocents and children.
It seems as if Mr Netanyahu likes to think that he can get away with trying to blackmail Americans that he alone blocks an open war with Iranians.
He likes to cite numbers of the dead, but that don’t take into account those unidentified under exploded buildings, unidentified injured and dying folks that can no longer be tallied in the hospitals and government buildings because those no longer exist, those that died dependent on the hopes of a societal support such as those on kidney dialysis, starved children, and those that die before they’re born. And, this Mr Netanyahu still says that the Palestinian victims of Israeli attack and killings stand rapists and murderers, as if all are Hamas, and therefore all are evil. That’s the only way that these periodic war machines thrive; calling their fellow human being ‘other’.
Bottom line; it’s a lie, a vicious and blatant lie perpetrated no doubt by Mr Netanyahu and his rogue highwaymen that Mrs Harris ‘boycotted’ the address. It certainly seems that the Israeli leader did not consult her social calendar before he decided to show up and plead his warmongering case before his American enablers.
Don’t get me wrong, MA, there’s absolutely no doubt that a sovereign nation should defend itself against marauders, but destroying humanitarian aid to and killing innocent Palestinians is criminal.
Good comment, AK 4 Freedom.
Ditto! It is sad to see how silent Dan is on other really important issues like our Southern Border and why our Farms are owned by China and Bill Gates. Also, why is he silent on the Chem-trails being sprayed over our heads everyday poisoning our air, land and water. How about why we never here anymore on the Bio-weapons labs the USA built in Ukraine? Is he going to keep pressing for the truth about the Secret Service setting Trump up for assassination? Inquiring minds want to know!
With respect, Senator Sullivan, the answer is unfortunately obvious.
.
What decent, patriotic American would disrespect Prime Minister Netanyahu by contaminating his visit with the clear anti-semitism of Vice President Harris and senior Democrats?
Because they are America-hating traitors to OUR country.
Disheartening is too gentle of a word. Disgusting, despicable and abominable fit better in reference to the behavior of the supposed ‘leaders’ of our nation.
Disrespect serves as an insult. To insult our leading Allie in the middle East in such a pubic demonstration surely bodes poorly on the civility of our elected officials.
We can and will do better with the dislodging of the anti-American/Israel congressional
members regardless the party affiliations.
Simple. She’s an intellectual lightweight who needs the anti semite vote.
It’s worse than that. Dems are all in on genocide. Get a clue while you cheer murdering thousands of small children for your “cause”.
The Dems boycotted PM Netanyahu’s speech while Repubs were there for it, but the Dems are the ones who are all in on genocide?
That doesn’t compute
Kamala Harris laid out her vision during her recent speech in Wisconsin when she said “Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion and rule of law or a country of chaos, fear and hate?” she obviously has chosen chaos, fear and hate.
I seem to recall plenty of people showing up when the republican cohort invited him to address Congress at a rather inappropriate time. Did that rowdy bunch show up for the embrace this time … were the folks that invited him this time, or did he just show up uninvited? It would be rude if the folks that invited him were not there to welcome him with open arms, though.
Dissing Netahyahu is absolutely no surprise at all. What should be addressed is the hypocrisy inherent in Harris and the senior Dems’ recent coup that they engaged in while pointing the finger at Trump and his supporters for being a “threat to democracy.” The Dems and media are pulling out giant tubes of lipstick and applying it the pig that is Harris’ presidential campaign.
Sullivan is bought & paid for by the Military Industrial Complex. Fewer than 2% of Israelis are Christians. What is the name of peace is the USA’s interest in this ongoing genocide? The Israelis appear to be thugs and i will never support the extermination of a people.
Don’t like Jews? Or are enough not being killed for you?
Trump also distanced himself from Netanyahoo during his visit to D.C. It’s simply good politics. Bibi has become a pariah amongst world leaders. Unfortunately, the buffoons in Congress, as usual, didn’t get the memo!
Whatgenocide???it would have to be the most inept genocide ever!! Leaving so many loud mouths alive to scream about it! There is o genocide occurring in Gaza!!!!
After all this time you can’t trouble yourself to look up the definition of genocide and laugh off murdering thousands of small children. You are such a BIG MAN.
Maybe if the hamass butchers didn’t hide behind their children while attacking Israel’s children, they wouldn’t have so many killed!!!
Calling it a genocide devalues the meaning of the term!! The Jewish folks know what a REAL genocide is. Not. Fake made-up deaths that never really happened ,like the hospital parking lot that caught a misfired rocket, killing nobody at all!!
Are you sure you’re not putting a bunch of meshugge in that coffee?
Palestinians support Hamas. Live by the sword die by the sord.
Ukraine DAN that says it all.
