John,
When AIPAC – the American Israel Public Affairs Committee – launches a political attack, they have one intention – destroy the target. Now, they have their sights set on me.
Last election cycle, AIPAC targeted Democrats who fight for reproductive rights, labor rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and Palestinian human rights. Now, AIPAC is escalating their attacks, calling me a supporter of Hamas. Take a look for yourself:
Here are the facts: Nearly 20,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by Israel’s military. Along with 153 nations at the United Nations, I support an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to save the lives of innocent, defenseless Palestinian children, mothers, fathers, and grandparents.
I have repeatedly and unequivocally condemned Hamas and their barbaric attack and murder of innocent Israeli citizens on October 7. Now, all the killing must stop.
For AIPAC, anyone who wants to stop the killing in Gaza is supporting the terrorists. And they will spend millions of dollars to slander and destroy politicians who, like me, support a just peace between Palestinians and Israelis.
In Congress, I am the lead Democrat on the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, entrusted with allocating more than $800 billion to protect the national security interests of the U.S. and the American people. I have a responsibility and obligation to the brave men and women who serve in our Armed Forces to make sure they succeed when they put their lives on the line to protect our nation.
Every day, I defend our country, and AIPAC has the nerve to call me a supporter of terrorists. But let me be perfectly clear: I will not back down.
To stop the killing there must be an enforceable, comprehensive ceasefire. And it is time to get the U.S. back in the business of defending human rights and working for diplomatic solutions to achieve peace and security.
It’s more important than ever for those of us who oppose AIPAC’s hateful attacks to stand together. I’m asking you to stand with me as I work to save lives, stop the killing, and work for peace and security in the Middle East and around the world.
Thank you for your support, trust, and confidence in my leadership. I will not stop working for a safer, more peaceful world for all children and families everywhere – including Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel.
Thank you,
Member of Congress
