I was with @JamaalBowmanNY in Israel/Palestine a few years back. We weren’t allowed through a checkpoint in Hebron. Very young men with guns asked if we were Jewish or Muslim. Tense as they refused to answer questions. Guessing kids with guns as security is bad idea period. True.

What @AIPAC doesn’t tell you is they raise money from big Republican donors & spend it in Democratic primaries against Democrats. It’s a cynical, undemocratic strategy. And since they clearly don’t care about dead, kids, it’s all about backing a conservative Netanyahu position.

I agree with @AOC . 12 workers have been fired for possible involvement out of 13,000 employees. And @UNRWA feeds 1.2 million people a day, as well as helps distribute aid now to all Palestinians in need. Aid needs to be restored now to help the displaced millions in Gaza.

Cutting off support to @UNRWA - the primary source of humanitarian aid to 2 million+ Gazans - is unacceptable. Among an organization of 13,000 UN aid workers, risking the starvation of millions over grave allegations of 12 is indefensible. The US should restore aid immediately.

2 groups put millions into individual Dem primaries for Congress, spending more than the candidates themselves. Cryptocurrency & @AIPAC . The Crypto mastermind was just convicted. @AIPAC wants you to think their big GOP money in Dem races is normal. Bull. It’s toxic to democracy.

AIPAC raised more for Democrats last cycle than any other PAC in America. If you're not going to be honest at least be consistent, @MarkPocan . Why are you singling AIPAC out for doing the same thing PACs supporting you do? When will you also condemn them and return the money?

If you’ve seen me post on @AIPAC day after day, but not really sure who this shadowy conservative dark money group is, watch this video and learn more. In my opinion, their big money approach towards campaigns threatens democracy.

We're still waiting on the results for Iowa, but we're not done fighting. Whatever happens tonight, our movement is stronger, bigger & ready to beat Donald Trump in November. It's time for a president that fights for all of us. It's time for @BernieSanders .

I was glad to help lead 40 members of Congress today in writing the President to stop arms transfers to Israel and protect aid workers in Gaza. Enough is enough. Thanks to @RepMcGovern and @janschakowsky for leading the letter with me. ☮️🇮🇱🇵🇸

The Israeli airstrike that killed seven @WCKitchen aid workers, including an American citizen, was absolutely horrifying and unacceptable.  Today, I called on the Biden Admin to withhold offensive arms transfers to Israel with @RepMcGovern , @Janschakowsky and 37 other colleagues.

For some of you who don’t know who @AIPAC is, here’s a shot of their website. Did I mention they also endorsed over 100 people who supported overturning state’s electoral college votes to keep Trump President in early 2021? And then there is the GOP dark money… Sound fun, huh?

Your turn @DemMaj4Israel . Do you think US tax dollars should go to demolishing houses in the West Bank? Do you think essentially imprisoning people in Gaza leads to a safer Middle East or does that radicalize starving people without clean water? Asking for a nation. @SenSanders

Two questions for @SenSanders : 1. Did you know the U.S. already has a say in how its aid is used by Israel? See: 2. Do you believe U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority should pay special salaries & benefits to terrorists who murder Americans & Israelis?

He may be mega wealthy but ideas like this - firing half the teachers and doubling class sizes - are poor and intellectually despondent. Hoping richer ideas are on the horizon. @BernieSanders

Little sisterish groups of @AIPAC are now running false & racially-charged ads against @RashidaTlaib . We need to demand they take them down. Lies and distortions won’t save the lives of children in Israel or Palestine. No member supports Hamas attacks. We need to be better.

We're airing a new TV ad in the Detroit area. Democrats support Israel’s right to defend itself, but Rep. @RepRashida sides with those who want to destroy it. Israelis & Palestinians deserve to live in peace, dignity, & security — that will never happen with Hamas in power.

False narrative. As cease-fire was ending without renewal, Hamas shot missiles into Israel that fortunately didn’t kill anyone. Awful. To justify that with Israel randomly bombing Palestinians in Gaza as retribution is sick. @AIPAC cares about Netanyhu, not Israel or peace. ☮️
