Political Quotes

“I will vote ``no'' today on the $17 billion aid package which provides a blank check to Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and the extreme rightwing government in Israel. How dare Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister, have the gall to criticize America while calling for the mass expulsion of Palestinians? I will vote ``no'' because this bill includes zero humanitarian aid while children are dying and 400,000 Gazans face famine. I will vote ``no'' because this bill undermines human rights and international law, ignoring the recent ICJ decision calling on Israel to do more to protect Palestinian civilians. I will vote ``no'' because it is painfully obvious to the entire world that what is needed today is a permanent cease-fire and the release of all hostages. There come moments in a Nation's history when our actions reveal our values. This is such a moment. We must stand for stopping the bombing, for ending this brutal war, and for justice in the Middle East with a Palestinian state with equal rights living side by side with Israel.”
