Netanyahu and Trump are besties. There is no way in hell that he would speak "in a bipartisan way."

(11,098 posts)Starving civilians as a strategic weapon is a war crime. (Yeah, I know, starving civilians in a siege was common in the middle ages but this ain't the middle ages.)

Schumer is an intelligent man. He knows Netanyahu is a war criminal.
