Majority of Senate Democrats Speak Out Against Israeli Settlement Annexation
Haaretz ^ | 06/15/2020 | Amir Tebon

Posted on 06/15/2020 12:22:39 PM PDT by aimhigh

More than half of the Democratic senators currently in office havespoken out in recent weeks against Israeli annexation of settlements in the West Bank. Together with the opposition to annexation expressed by former Vice President Joe Biden, the senators’ statements on the subject show that annexation could harm Israel’s standing with Democratic politicians and voters.

As of Monday, at least 28 of the 47 Democrats in the Senate have expressed their opposition to annexation, most of them by sending letters on the subject to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz. A Democratic source in the Senate told Haaretz that more lawmakers are expected to make similar statements against annexation in the coming days.

No Democratic lawmaker has so far expressed support for annexation or encouraged Israel to go ahead with it, but one senator, Ben Cardin, said last month that he does not want to publicly contradict Israel’s government on this issue.

So now we clearly see that muzzlimes and leftists have obviously contributed heavily to the campaigns of these traitorous pieces of steaming excrement. They support the enemies of America against one of its most dependable allies. I really cannot understand why secular Jews vote for these traitors, except that they have, through a lack of Jewish education by their negligent parents, substituted progressive ideology for Torah.

Speak out all you want. Within a couple of weeks it won't matter what you say.

Haaretz is Dems’ mouthpiece in Israel. Far, far left.

Should say “Majority of Senate Democrats are deathly afraid of the wrath of muzzies and of losing their support and money, and so they trash Israel.”

Heads will explode. Shouldn’t it be put off to July 4, so as to be part of the fireworks? There. See. Everyone’s happy with a little compromise.

Bobby Kennedy was murdered by an Arab over his support for Israel, so yes, Democrats have been supportive in the past.
