John,
Once again, AIPAC and corporate Democrats are coming after any member of Congress willing to voice basic support for the human rights of Palestinians.
This time, they’re attacking Rep. Pramila Jayapal for critiquing the Israeli government’s racist treatment of Palestinians ahead of Israel President Isaac Herzog’s address to Congress this week.
While progressives stand up bravely against smear campaigns from the far-right, Democratic leadership is once again throwing Palestinians under the bus to please their donors at AIPAC. This weekend, they doubled down on their defense of Israel and Congress’ unconditional support for its atrocities, even after witnessing Israel’s most recent unlawful invasion and destruction of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank earlier this month.
Unlike some corporate Democrats in Congress, Justice Democrats and our candidates, like Rashida Tlaib have proudly spoken out against Israel’s human rights abuses against Palestinians for years, and we’re not stopping now.
No amount of pressure from Democratic Party leadership or spending from AIPAC will prevent us from speaking truth to power and demanding basic human dignity for the people of Palestine, who continue to face violent Israeli military invasions in their homes and communities.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
