Today, Congresswoman Elaine Luria issued the following statement regarding Senator Bernie Sanders’ comments on the AIPAC Policy Conference.
“As a proud Jewish member and staunch supporter of Israel, I condemn Senator Sanders’ comments and urge him to reconsider his derogatory remarks. Senator Sanders’ comments only contribute to the divisive rhetoric often used when discussing the issue of Israel’s right to exist.”
“I believe that a two-state solution is the most viable option for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and that goal becomes less achievable when representatives like Sen. Sanders question the motivation of Jewish voices in this discussion.”
“AIPAC’s Policy Conference is an opportunity to learn from people across the entire political spectrum about issues facing Israel and the premises that form the basis of the bipartisan U.S.-Israel relationship. I look forward to attending this year’s AIPAC Policy Conference and encourage my colleagues to join me in maintaining bipartisan support for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.”
Total nonsense , Ms Lauria . Apartheid Israel should be an embarrassment to every American. Nothing Bernie said was anything but truth which when it comes to Apartheid Israel , is in short supply .
AIPAC is simply an un-registered foreign agent that has repeatedly spied on the USA , got caught red handed ( e.g. Steve Rosen ) but never came to trial . Apartheid Israel is our albatross . Billions and billions of our tax dollars being sucked out by Apartheid Israel all the while they try to push us into a war with Iran . We have endured the greatest shakedown in the history of the world .
As for the ongoing occupation and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians …it’s been going on since 1932 by the Zionist Terrorists Irgun and is unrelenting cruelty .
It makes little difference what Bernie or Biden do or say…neither will ever be POTUS. Biden should lawyer up, they are coming for he and his crackhead son.
Trump plays hardball.
