BTNews: Would you support sanctions on Israel similar to the sanctions imposed on apartheid South Africa?
NY Rep. Claire Valdez: Absolutely. We have a lot of tools at our disposal, including diplomatic tools. Sanctions can be one of those tools. In the same way that we sanctioned South Africa during apartheid, I think we should be looking at those tools now, in this moment.
I'm watching the Abdul El Sayed vs Haley Stevens debate.
He's critiqued her on policy after policy after policy.
She's attacked him on.....tax returns? What? She hasn't hit him on a single policy issue. It's because she knows his policies are extremely popular and her only hope is to paint him as someone untrustworthy with fearmongering.
Pathetic. Michigan: Please vote for Abdul.

🚨 BREAKING: Israel has killed Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi, director of public relations for the Egyptian Committee in Gaza, Tuesday evening in a strike on a civilian vehicle near the governorate building in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighborhood, per the Palestinian Information Center.
Two other Palestinians, including a child, were killed alongside him and others wounded, per Arabi Post, bringing the day’s death toll from Israeli attacks across Gaza to six, amid ongoing violations of the ceasefire.
The Egyptian Committee, established by President Sisi, is Cairo’s official relief arm in Gaza, distributing food, housing displaced families in camps it built at Netzarim, and clearing rubble.
Israel has killed its personnel before: in January, an Israeli drone struck a vehicle carrying committee workers filming a new displacement camp near Netzarim, killing five people including three journalists working for the committee. Israeli media reported Cairo sent an angry protest demanding explanations for that attack.
The targeted strike and killing of an official of Egypt’s own relief operation comes as Cairo hosts negotiations on the ceasefire’s second phase, with a Hamas delegation in its sixth day of talks there. Reports suggest the strike took place just before the Egypt-Argentina soccer World Cup match.
There is one man who's wanted a war with Iran, the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu.
For too long, our foreign policy has been handed to us by the likes of the Israeli government and AIPAC who has made sure that Democrats and Republicans are doing their bidding. #MISenDebate

💢🇱🇧 LEBANON | Israeli forces continued military activity in southern Lebanon on Tuesday despite the “ceasefire,” with an Israeli drone dropping four stun grenades over the border town of Hadatha—which Israel declared it had occupied as part of the “security zone” the previous day—Lebanon’s National News Agency reported.
Meanwhile, the town of Beit Yahoun came under Israeli artillery shelling as Israeli forces carried out a controlled demolition in the nearby town of Kounine in the Bint Jbeil District.
Separately, Israeli troops raided villages in the western sector of southern Lebanon, accompanied by heavy gunfire.

I think Troy Jackson seems like the only reasonable person that can take the mantle without serious friction. A pro-Israel centrist would divide the party and make Susan Collins a big favorite.
