RantWoman here collects reactions to and coverage of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the US Congress.
'Sometimes you need a foreign made washing machine to clean your dirty laundry."
"Collaboration is the essence of science."
Please note very articulate statements from people about why they are there, clear demands, and the STUNNING absence, compared to #J6, of assaults on police, gallows, bear spray, body armor fashion statements....
Military people in both US and Israel say there is no military path to victory.
Youtube has an abundance of additional clips.
RantWoman here notes a couple comments from Protest Curmudgeon.
--Somewhere in the protest an AMerican flag was burned. RantWoman is NOT a big fan of flag burning: frankly, anyone mad enough to burn a flag should TRY to find a more constructive way to deal with what one is PO'ed about. RantWoman herself has a complicated relation to flags: they matter and something in the Sunday school RantWoman was steeped in as a child still half regard flags as idols. So, no flag burning, and not quite the same veneration as others might express.
And from X, a protest at Union Station, not far from the Capitol involving a replica of the Liberty Bell placed by veterans.

A replica Liberty bell, not even the real one, gets vandilized with magic marker: My heart is broken ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ https://t.co/RhmjrCIhrM
There were several comments similar to the one here. There also were calls to arrest, jail, deport the "artists." RantWoman imagines that people who spread graffiti all over the bell might expect to get arrested, fined, and perahps asked to make restitution. RantWoman does not consider that inappropriate. RantWoman also has the impression that the graffiti should be easy to clean up, but RantWoman is no expert.
