As a Jew and as a Presidential candidate, I can tell you it’s not in the interest of either the United States or Israel to continue to allow AIPAC to dominate our policies. Progressive Jews in America are well aware that the relationship between our two countries, as well as humanitarian values shared by both, are in conflict with systemic patterns of injustice toward the Palestinian people. Only when that issue is addressed can there be a lasting peace. #Marianne2024
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is in Israel with a delegation of @HouseDemocrats "reinforcing our strong and ironclad commitment to the special relationship that exists between the United States and Israel." Thank you @RepJeffries for your leadership! 🇺🇸🇮🇱 #AIEF2023

Being a Jew doesn't make you an expert of Israel. Claiming your a Presidential Candidate doesn't give you any more authority than any other citizen- do you think that makes your opinion more valid than others?

Everybody in DC knows that you have to be on the right side of @AIPAC or you have no political future. And if you’re an American politician, you mentioned Israeli killing Palestinian Christians… Might as well just pack it up and go home now.

It’s nice how they want to have their cake and eat it too. Like who exactly supporting AIPAC- Jews, yes Jews in America support it. Also Bernie Senders doesn’t support equal rights for Palestinians. Would Williamson support equal rights? #Marianne2024
I asked @SenSanders about Palestine, the BDS movement targeting Israel, and whether he supports a one state solution

Thank you for standing up to the same principles you fight for here at home. Many politicians pretend to fight for justice here at home and when it comes to Israel they throw all their principles and values out the window.

You being a Jew doesn’t give you any special authority on this question, one way or the other.

You aren’t technically either of the two things you claim
