Dave Matthews Criticizes Netanyahu's US Visit

Musician Dave Matthews has voiced significant criticism against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington, D.C., calling the support shown by the U.S. Congress 'disgusting.' At a protest outside the U.S. Capitol, Matthews expressed shame over U.S. tax dollars aiding Israel's actions in Gaza, which he described as the brutalization of an entire people. Matthews' remarks have sparked controversy, with some accusing him of antisemitism and ignoring the violence perpetrated by Hamas. Netanyahu's visit and speech to Congress, advocating for a 'total victory' against Hamas, have added to the divisive responses. The protests saw clashes with police and vandalism, reflecting the heightened tensions surrounding the issue.
