Why are we even giving so much attention and political power to foreign leaders speaking to Congress when we should be focusing on protecting individual rights and minimizing government intervention here at home?
Bernie Sanders standing up to Netanyahu and boycotting his speech is exactly the kind of bold leadership we need to challenge unjust policies and show solidarity with oppressed communities.
