Sen. Elizabeth Warren has threatened that as president she would consider cutting off U.S. aid to Israel if the country moves against a two-state solution, but last year, she condemned President Trump for cutting off aid to intransigent Palestinians.
The Democratic front-runner said regarding aid to Israel, "Right now, Netanyahu says he is going to take Israel in a direction of increasing settlements. That does not move us toward a two-state solution."
She added, "It is the official policy of the United States of America to support a two-state solution, and if Israel is moving in the opposite direction, then everything is on the table."
Warren's harsh words toward Israel stand in stark contrast to her previous condemnation of Trump's cutoff of aid to Palestinians.
Trump has come under fire from the Left after making several moves to unwind aid to the Palestinians, who have consistently rejected opportunities for a two-state solution and created obstacles to a negotiated settlement while continuing their campaign of terrorism. The terrorist group Hamas controls Gaza, where missiles are fired into Israel, and the supposedly moderate Palestinian Authority has a program that pays salaries to imprisoned Palestinian terrorists and to the families of terrorists who get killed.
Trump's administration last year cut off more than $500 million in aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The agency has operated under an unprecedented definition that grants automatic refugee status to descendants of refugees rather than those who directly fled their homes as a result of a conflict, thus greatly inflating the number of Palestinians granted such status.
In September 2019, Warren joined dozens of Senate Democrats in condemning the move in a letter, stating, "We are deeply concerned that your strategy of attempting to force the Palestinian Authority to the negotiating table by withholding humanitarian assistance from women and children is misguided and destined to backfire."
Though the senators portrayed the UNRWA as nothing more than an honest provider of humanitarian aid, the reality is not so benign. The organization has long-funded textbooks in Palestinian classrooms that are littered with anti-Israel bias, a problem that has persisted despite claims the problem had been dealt with. More recently, an internal ethics report detailed a series of disturbing allegations against senior UNRWA management, including "sexual misconduct, nepotism, retaliation, discrimination and other abuses of authority, for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent, and to otherwise achieve their personal objectives."
It would be one thing if Warren were talking in a broader fashion about cutting foreign aid (an argument, that, say, Sen. Rand Paul might make). But instead, she is singling out Israel, even though the aid to Israel has to be spent on U.S. equipment, facilitates military cooperation, and does not involve any sort of commitment of U.S. troops.
That Warren would find it so objectionable to push the U.N. and Palestinians to change but would be so forthright about threatening aid to a close ally is an indication of how prevalent anti-Israel sentiment is within the Democratic Party. It's clear that Warren feels that to satisfy her base, she needs to signal a willingness to bring down the hammer on Israel.
She is insane, needs to be locked up, not put into the White House.
The President supports the good guys.
Warren supports the terrorists.
Quite simple really.
Amercan Jews will vote for her or another RAT no matter what.
I wonder what LIES Warren will come up with in the next months.
24% of Jews voted for Trump (I am one).
But don’t look for upsurge in support for Trump versus anti-Israel Warren and others (Bernie is a “self-loathing Jew”—a psychological problem case. We won’t mention AOC and Omar vs.Israel).
Many American Jews do not care in the slightest about Israel. Not like a sure thing at all. “That Netanyahu is too warlike.”—heard in person. Like out Dems cheerfully selling out America and the Constitution, Israelis themselves sometimes don’t like Israel-—but a large amount love Trump, too.
Just think that this bears amplification.
Blatantly extorting an ally with her virtue signaling.
warren seems actually committing that which her comrades are falsely accusing President Trump.
Warren is a big danger to America (and our allies), and must be defeated.
I still think that the same anti-American special interests that back her will switch to another candidate soon...
someone new to the race...
someone without her baggage of being such a huge liar and someone new so he/she will be without all the opposition that Warren generates
I think it will be a well-liked entertainment/sports figure...
who has NOT spoken up in such crazy, insane, stupid ways as Warren ..... so does not start out (at least) with all the opposition she engenders
(but still a person that will TAKE ORDERS from the SorozNazi type Puppetmeisters). THIS new candidate could be far more threatening to USA/our liberties/our economic well-being...
than even Warren or Bernie the Red
Lizzy Warren-Mann the Quid Pro Quo Mamma.
By the way, what’s the story on her current husband?
Does Mr. Mann have a history?
Soviet socialists hated and persecuted the Jews. National socialists hated and persecuted the Jews. Why would today’s Native American, persecuted pregnant, vaguely female socialists treat today’s Jews any differently? They have to pick an enemy and personalize the hate to sell a big lie like socialism, and the left has always found it convenient to hate people for being Jewish.
No telling what a dictator Warren would do with the Jerusalem embassy.
These Dem O Rats have trashed America’s Judeo Christian foundation and all our values. They have basically urinated on our founding fathers graves. From illegals to every non Christian punk who comes here for a free rides, they grant sanctuary. Tell me where real Americans who had both sides of their family here before the American Revolution can go and get freebies or any of us? Obama dumped Muzzies, plus every 3rd world POS on us. Little boys are being taught to be gay. SICK. Death to those who betray America. Warren is pure trash. She cannot even dress like a lady. Imagine her in her house cleaning clothes in OUR White House? I cannot.
Because dems love terrorists and hate God
Yet, the majority of American Jews would vote for her.
Go figure.
This commie cretin should be taken by the Marines to GITMO, waterboarded and disposed of. Of course , only after appropriate legal processes.
How does a liar like her get this far.
I think her supporters have more peyote in their blood-stream than she does. And that’s a tough nut to crack.
“She is insane, needs to be locked up, not put into the White House.”
Fork-tongued insanity. When did that start, Liz? Insanity issues ALERT!
