Ahmed Moor, a Gaza-born Palestinian American writer and businessman, launched a 2028 Democratic primary challenge Monday against Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, one of Israel's most fervent backers in Congress. Moor, 42, of West Philadelphia, calls Israel's assault on Gaza a genocide that killed members of his family. He wants to end US military aid to Israel and impose sanctions modeled on the 1986 law that targeted apartheid South Africa until Palestinians have equal rights. A DSA member, Moor is also running on ending the war on Iran, Medicare for All, free childcare and abolishing ICE. Fetterman hasn't said whether he'll seek a second term. 🎥 In a December 2024 interview with Democracy Now, Moor spoke about his family in Gaza, including his cousin's 19-year-old son, whom an Israeli sniper killed in Rafah, and laid out the conditions needed for moving towards resolution in Palestine. He said settlements have made a Palestinian state impossible, Hamas is an ordinary Palestinian party that won't simply disappear, and any real negotiation has to move past Jewish supremacy in Palestine.
