Those who claim to support Israel but are willing to do so even when the policies of the Israeli govt are illegal or at the expense of democratic values or human rights, do not actually support the good of Israel nor express the opinion of the majority of American Jews.@AIPAC 1/4

An independent investigation into the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh is imperative, and the behavior of the Israeli police at her funeral is indefensible. A stand for democracy demands no less. @DemMaj4Israel 2/4

The United States should launch its own investigation into the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh as well as demand an explanation from the Israeli government for the horrifying and violent use of force at her funeral. 3/4

There can be no blank check for the government of any American ally, including Israel, to blatantly violate human rights and democratic principles, directly harming the Palestinian people as well as imperiling the interests of the State of Israel and the United States. 4/4

UN would be better. US isn't an unbiased party.
Replying to @marwilliamson
And the US can pressure Israel in to allowing this to be done!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes they should.

Can you believe this?
Replying to @RepSchneider
Israel must investigate the events surrounding the funeral, including the actions of its police officers, and take corrective action to prevent such situations in the future.

After calling for an investigation into UNARMED Ashli Babbitt's murder?
Replying to @marwilliamson
The behaviour of the police, while horrifying, is a domestic issue.
Israeli police have a brutality problem. It's indiscriminate. It does not discern between Arabs and Jews, Left or Right. Thread.
