More than 40 Dems turn on 'Squad' member for Israel criticism: 'dangerous and antisemitic'
Fox News
More than 40 Democrats released a letter on Monday night criticizing Rep. Pramila Jayapal after she called Israel a "racist state" over the weekend. She later retracted the comment.
"Israel is the legitimate homeland of the Jewish people and efforts to delegitimize and demonize it are not only dangerous and antisemitic, but they also undermine America’s national security," the 43 Democrats said in the letter. "Israel is critical to our fight against terror, and our defense and intelligence collaboration continues to strengthen our leadership in the world. Israel remains our greatest partner for peace in the Middle East."
They added, "Any efforts to rewrite history and question the Jewish State’s right to exist, or our historic bipartisan relationship, will never succeed in Congress. We remain committed to peace between Israel and the Palestinians to establish two states that exist side-by-side in peace, prosperity, and mutual security."
