I cannot believe how few politicians went to this vigil mourning both Israelis and Palestinians. During the two separate vigils mourning Israeli lives, hundreds of politicians showed up.
So deeply sad to see how many clearly value Israeli lives over the lives of Palestinians.
Tonight, I stood with my colleagues to remember the thousands of lives lost in Israel and Gaza.
Too many innocent lives have been lost. We need a permanent ceasefire to prevent more death and violence.

Compare with how many went to mourn only Israeli lives. I am shocked.
Joined my Congressional colleagues at tonight’s vigil to honor and pray for the innocent lives lost in Israel. May they rest in peace.

They are like paid protesters by AIPAC. And now the Americans and the whole world should wake up to this fact that the US is owned by Israel.

Everybody does. Especially the Palestinians themselves.
The only ones taking care to minimize Palestinian civilian losses are the IDF.

All of them, except Rashida, voted YES just TWO nights ago on a resolution equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism while Israel is committing GENOCIDE.
That is outright Fascism.
America is teetering on the edge.

The U.S. political class might as well start chanting “Palestinian Lives Don’t Matter.” It’s clearly what they believe:

They keep trying to stand with people who don't want to stand with them. Waste of time.

Correction: they don’t value Israeli lives over Palestinians. They value their own soulless career advancement.

Who attends a vigil for Extremist terrorists who started an evil war and has not released all hostages not surrendered as yet. If they had released and surrendered, I would have attended, knowing that the war is ending!

I’m even more sad looking at the comments tbh… even with the small number of politicians who showed up, people still believe Palestinian lives shouldn’t be mourned.

It’s bc this isn’t about Jewish lives.
If Rashida or any of these people actually cared about dead Jews, they’d be demanding Hamas be brought to justice, not a ceasefire.
