Haaretz: Palestinian-American Congressional Candidate Called Out Over Pledge to Cut Military Aid to ‘Discriminatory’ Israel
In its statement regarding Tlaib, the JDCA, which describes itself as “the voice of socially-progressive, pro-Israel Jewish Democrats” vowed to continue “to speak out against candidates and elected officials — Republicans and Democrats — who do not share our positions on key issues. As we approach the midterm elections, JDCA will continue to focus on defeating Republicans who have politicized U.S. support for Israel, aligned themselves with neo-Nazis, and supported U.S. President Trump’s divisive and inhumane policies that are a betrayal of American values.”
“In the coming days and months, we hope to learn more about Ms. Tlaib’s views, engage with her on these issues, and discuss with her why we believe U.S. military aid to Israel is a national security priority.”
