Reported as misinformation. Please Google before hitting the report button.

"The invitation from House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, along with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, has been in the works for some time. No date for the speech was set."

The article you linked to indicates that Schumer's invite to Netanyahu came after it was clear that Netanyahu was committing genocide:

Johnson first suggested inviting the Israeli leader, saying it would be “a great honor of mine” to invite him. That came soon after Schumer, who is the highest ranking Jewish elected official in the U.S., had delivered a stinging rebuke of Netanyahu. Schumer said in the speech that Netanyahu had “lost his way” amid the Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza.

Even so, Schumer had said he would join in the invitation because “our relationship with Israel is ironclad and transcends any one prime minister or president.”

Schumer invited Netanyahu AFTER the genocide commenced. I'm confident that my comment was not misinformation.

Correct, which is why I ignored the report on it and posted the link. ;)

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Ah. I was confused. I thought you were saying you had reported it, like to the admins or something.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Nah, I would have just removed the comment if it were legit misinformation and noted it. :)

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Very confusing.

Which does make more sense, yes.
