is right—“...anyone that believes in a ceasefire, I would just say: Let’s call for Hamas to surrender and put down their guns...we will never have peace...unless we destroy Hamas.”
NSC’s John Kirby says it plainly.
Hamas can end the war immediately by meeting 3 conditions:
1. Lay down their arms
2. Turn over those who were responsible for the October 7th attacks
3. Give up all their hostages

Wishing Jews “Happy Hanukah” is acknowledging Jews defeated an imperial power to retake control of their land in 164 BC—160 years before Jesus’ birth & 734 years before Muhammad’s birth.
Acknowledging Hanukah is acknowledging that Jews are the indigenous people of Israel.
Rep. Tlaib is rewriting history.
Israel was born after the UN divided its mandate into a Jewish & an Arab state. The Jews accepted, the Arabs refused, & five armies invaded.
800,000 Jews forced out of their homes in Arab lands found refuge in Israel.
Speaker McCarthy wants to rewrite history but the apartheid state of Israel was born out of violence and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
75 years later, the Nakba continues to this day.
Iron Dome is used to protect all Israelis—Jewish and Arab alike—from missile attacks. Thank you to the majority of Democrats who spoke out against attempts to undermine it today.

@SecBlinken
The root of the catastrophe: the Arab world refused to accept the UN plan for a Jewish & Arab state in what was left of the UK's Palestine Mandate after Jordan’s creation. Instead, 5 Arab armies invaded Israel, attempting to destroy it & push the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea.
Today, I introduced a resolution recognizing the Nakba (catastrophe), where 400 Palestinian towns and villages were destroyed, over 700,000 Palestinians uprooted from their homes, and made refugees.
Hate to mess up your conspiracy theory with a fact, but Nina Turner & her Super Pacs *outspent* Shontel Brown and hers.

America's BDS supporters are either ignorant of the movement's positions or purposely misrepresenting them.
BDS is antisemitic. It opposes Israel's existence in any borders.
People are entitled to express antisemitic views in this country, but aren't entitled to evade the label
BDS is a movement that denounces and fights racism and oppression in all forms, and wherever it appears. As a movement that emerges out of Palestinian civil society, its priority is non-violent protest of the conditions in Israel and Palestine.
Today:
@HillaryClinton
calls out protests at

“You just have to ask yourself, how you could have an event on using rape as a tactic of war against women and girls…and you include the most recent horrendous example out of Israel—and that brings out the protestors.”
Unfortunately Hezbollah invented-and Hamas copied-suicide bombing. Terrorists wear vests with explosives under their clothing.
Would you want to interrogate a Hamas terrorist w/out knowing whether they could blow up you, your colleagues & other prisoners with a second’s notice?
Israel is a multiracial democracy. The majority of Israel’s Jewish population has roots in the Middle East, North Africa & Ethiopia. More than 20% of Israel’s population are Arab Israelis. Attempting to portray the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through an American racial lens to…

Today 418 Members of Congress voted to condemn sexual violence by Hamas.
Just one single Member,
@RepRashida
Tlaib, could not bring herself to condemn rape and other forms of sexual violence committed by Hamas.
Outrageous, even for her.
We're airing a new TV ad in the Detroit area.
Democrats support Israel’s right to defend itself, but Rep.

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.

But Russian trolls don't excuse her bigotry.

Fact: Israel is NOT bombing indiscriminately
Fact: Israel IS obeying intl law
Fact: There already ARE conditions on Israel aid
Fact: If Hamas surrendered themselves, their weapons & the hostages, Israeli military action would end immediately
Why aren’t you urging Hamas to do…
The truce between Israel and Hamas led to a significant number of hostages released and the entry of much-needed humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Now, Israel cannot continue their indiscriminate bombing that has led to 15k innocent Palestinian deaths. We need an indefinite ceasefire.
Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad makes 3 chilling, important points:
- Hamas is dedicated to Israel’s destruction because they view its very existence as catastrophic
- Hamas believes their murderous attack was fully justified
- Hamas is committed to attacking Israel over and over again

So it’s not up to Hamas to share its fuel and food with the people it governs?
It’s up to Israel to supply Hamas?
Has any nation that’s been attacked ever done so? Did the US ever meet that standard? Or is only Israel required to supply its attackers?

understands that while appealing, a simple ceasefire is dangerous. There was a ceasefire until October 7th when Hamas broke it with a savage attack. Hamas must be disarmed and dismantled.

We are grateful for your leadership in combatting these hateful acts in all their forms.
Fetterman at Pennsylvania Farm Show:
“I would ask anyone that believes in a ceasefire.. let’s call for Hamas to surrender and put down their guns, and then that would end all of the misery and the killing and everything…
“I believe to be on the right side for Israel on this.”
On May 28, 1948 the Jewish section of Jerusalem’s Old City fell into the hands of the invading Jordanians. Jews were forcibly expelled and their synagogues dynamited. The commander of the Jordanian legion reported that “Holy Jerusalem has been cleansed of Jews…”
Don’t know what’s under the hospital…but terrorists from the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine have openly made the hospital itself their HQ.

#BDS
Movement being antisemitic…
BDS affiliates created a map of “oppressors” responsible for harm in society. You know, synagogues, schools, hospitals, and charitable Jewish orgs.
BDS continuously reveals itself as naked Jew-hatred.
Tell the truth. By circulating complete falsehoods & half-truths like these, you incite violence. Your dishonesty endangers lives. It's irresponsible.
No sewage water was sprayed anywhere. Water was sprayed to prevent rioting at a gate to old city, 1/2 mile from Al-Aqsa (1/2)
The new Israeli PM has been in power for less than two weeks and it’s already bombed Gaza, sprayed sewage water on the Al-Aqsa compound, and expanded settlements.
We share your sympathy for the lives lost in Gaza, many of them killed by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
All of the victims would be alive today if the PIJ had not set out to launch a terrorist attack against Israel and fired 1,100 rockets at Israeli civilians.
My heart breaks for the dozens of Palestinians, including children, killed by Israel in Gaza. Palestinians too deserve to live free from siege and bombardment.
There must be accountability. Israel must end the blockade. And Congress must stop funding Israeli apartheid.
