Senator Bernie Sanders [I-VT] is vowing to boycott an appearance by Israel’s Prime Minister before a joint session of Congress. Senator Sanders calls Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu a “war criminal” and says it’s a “sad day” for the U.S. that the invitation came from both political parties. Israel has come under fire from critics over a large number of civilian deaths as the terrorist group Hamas continues to use th population as human shields in Gaza.  A letter inviting Netanyahu last week read: “We join the State of Israel in your struggle against terror, especially as Hamas continues to hold American and Israeli citizens captive and its leaders jeopardize regional stability,”
