John,
In case you missed it, Congress just passed another bill to put Israel
first.
[ [link removed] ]Tweet from @PollTracker2024: "US House passes legislation that blocks
federal aid for colleges and universities if they engage in discriminatory
commercial or academic boycotts against Israel in 237-169 vote. 33 House
Democrats voted in favor, 2 House Republicans voted against."
Ironically, lawmakers named this bill the “Protect Economic and Academic
Freedom Act.” What it actually does is cut off federal funding for
colleges and universities that engage in boycotts against Israel, Israeli
companies, or Israeli institutions.
It passed with flying colors in a 237-169 vote, including 33 Democrats who
supported it.
According to Track AIPAC, these 33 members have collectively received a
total of more than $83 million from AIPAC and the Israel lobby.
Too many Democrats are willing to erode our First Amendment rights and
silence students to protect a foreign government at all costs. What’s the
point of an opposition party if you’re joining Republicans’ war on free
speech?
No matter how many public polls show that a supermajority of Democratic
voters oppose Israel’s genocide and our country’s enabling of it, these
politicians are more than happy to vote with Republicans if it means
keeping the AIPAC checks rolling in.
[ [link removed] ]As we keep up the fight to reject AIPAC and transform the Democratic
Party, help us elect three pro-peace progressives to Congress who will
reject harmful bills like this: pitch in $5 or whatever you
can to fuel our three general election campaigns →

In solidarity,
