Dave Matthews “ashamed” at Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to US Congress
Dave Matthews was part of a sizeable organised protest against the appearance by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United States Congress this week.Crowds gathered on Capitol Hill outside the government building on Wednesday (July 24), holding banners including slogans such as “Wanted War Criminal”, as the Israeli leader addressed members of the Senate and the House Of Representatives.While Netanyahu implored US leaders to support the war against Hamas in Gaza, the protesters outside argued that Netanyahu himself is a war criminal, citing the arrest warrant that has been sought by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.Among those picketing was Matthews, who told Al Jazeera: “I just think it’s terrible when the majority of the world is looking at this man and what he’s doing in Gaza and then also what he’s overseeing in the West Bank and East Jerusalem [and] we’re welcoming [him] into the so-called sacred halls of our government.”He added: “This man is the pinnacle of the obstacle toward that freedom and that we have [him] visiting the country is obscene. It’s a disgusting show of support for someone that doesn’t deserve our support.”The current war escalated on October 7 last year when Hamas launched a terrorist attack on a music festival in Israel, killing over 1,200 and taking 250 others as hostages.
