On July 24th, Netanyahu will come to Washington D.C. to address Congress. People of conscience from around the country have come together, signing an open letter rejecting his visit, demanding his prosecution for War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity, and Genocide and his immediate arrest upon arrival to the United States.

Arrest Netanyahu!

It is an outrage and a disgrace that Benjamin Netanyahu has been invited to speak before both houses of Congress. While the International Criminal Court prepares an arrest warrant for him for war crimes and crimes against humanity, we are about to witness the spectacle of members of the US Congress giving him a hero’s welcome. We demand that this invitation be rescinded.

We will not be silent! The members of Congress who choose to participate in this shameful ritualistic embrace of Netanyahu will be remembered by history as complicit in aiding and abetting crimes against humanity.

Netanyahu has refused every resolution from the United Nations demanding a ceasefire that would bring an end to the mass killing spree in Gaza. The Palestinian people in Gaza are the victims of a genocidal campaign that has led to more than 100,000 people having been killed or wounded in nine months. Tens of thousands of them are children. Most homes have been destroyed or damaged. This is not “self-defense,” as Netanyahu falsely claims. It is a mass killing spree inflicted by an Occupying Power in violation of the UN Charter, the Geneva Convention, and other covenants of international law. Netanyahu’s goal is to drive the people of Gaza from their homes forever.

The People’s Court, a gathering of legal professionals committed to true justice, came together last June to hold a People’s Tribunal, indicting Netanyahu on charges of War Crimes, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity. Now, the People’s Court is releasing its own arrest warrant for Netanyahu, calling for his immediate arrest when he lands in Washington D.C. on July 24th.

Join us at 11am at 3rd st. and Pennsylvania Ave. NW on July 24th to participate in the largest mass mobilization to SAY NO to Netanyahu’s visit and YES to an immediate and permanent ceasefire! We, The People, call for the execution of international law and Netanyahu’s arrest!
