while we discuss the daily drama that elons algo is dangling in front of us, israel is still carrying out these massacres with the weapons the west sends them every single day. the only people punished so far are those who speak out against these crimes.
The Stop the Settlements Act would sanction anyone looking to take Palestinian land in the West Bank or Gaza. And support keeps growing.
Since I introduced the bill alongside Reps. Dean, Beyer, Casar, Jacobs, and Escobar, over 50 members have now co-sponsored.
Settlement expansion pushes Palestinians off their land and makes peace harder to achieve. It’s time to use tools like sanctions to stop it.
Thank you to our newest co-sponsors:

I don’t understand what those protesters aim to accomplish!
If Mamdani hangs a Sinwar poster at city hall, then what? What impact would that have?
Was Nelson Mandela a “sellout” for acknowledging the suffering white Afrikaaners endured in concentration camps in the 2nd Boer War?
Was Mandela a “traitor” for saying Afrikaners as a collective group were not put "in the accused dock" or held collectively guilty for the sins of apartheid?
Attending a vigil for Israelis & Palestinians doesn’t mean capitulating, throwing Gaza under the bus, drawing false symmetries or covering up the genocide! Mamdani is still consistently speaking up about Israel's crimes & atrocities, & is trying to build a broad coalition to do something about those crimes.
In coalition building, there's a difference between a comrade (with whom you agree 100%) & an ally (with whom you may agree on one or two issues & work together towards them).
Saying "I would only work with comrades who fully agree with me" is the recipe for dooming your movement to remaining a tiny ineffective minority. The goal is to unite the many against the few, not the few against the many.
America has no place for Indians (1% of the population). America is for concussed hungover fullbacks who get 1500 on the SAT effortlessly (0% of the population; perhaps one or two exist).
