During Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent speech to a joint session of Congress, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., sparked controversy by protesting with a sign labeling him a 'war criminal.' This action drew condemnation from several social media commentators.
Netanyahu used his address to criticize Gaza cease-fire demonstrations in the U.S. and accused Iran of funding these protests. While many praised his leadership and speech, some Democrats chose to skip the event in protest.
