Summary of events:

Bush was elected in 2020 when she beat former Rep. William Lacy Clay in the Democratic primary.

In a phone call last summer her challenger Bell told her he would not run against her.

Bush was one of the first members of Congress to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, alongside Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., the only Palestinian American member of Congress.

This primary AIPAC spent $8.5 million supporting Bell including mailers which featured images with distortions made to Bush’s features. It is the fourth most expensive primary in House history.

This is now the 2nd Squad member AIPAC has removed through its campaign financing.

      Oh, you think Israel defending itself from Hamas means that they’re “occupying Hamas’ territory”?

          The Jewish people were “indigenous” to Israel though, so that’s a false equivalency 🤦

            We are all indigenous to Africa, doesn’t make it okay to create an apartheid state there.

                “Jewish settlers are actually indigenous to Palestine” is the same nonsense logic of “the boers are actually indigenous to South Africa” or “The French are actually native to Algeria”

                It is nonsense logic and also doesn’t address the actual concern, the settler colonialism and the apartheid.

                  Thousands of years of history is nonsense to you, got it. Boers were clearly a colonial phenomenon. The French obviously weren’t in Algeria for thousands of years, you absolute fool. Jewish people were living in Israel for millenia, you completely brainless buffoon🤦

                  It’s not “settler colonialism” if a native people live on their native land, jackass.

                  It’s not “apartheid” to defend yourself from a homicidal death cult.

                    Lol I usually only counter this level of delusion on reddit. And in defense or apartheid and genocide no less.
