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.

    Why don’t you go join the homicidal death cult, terrorist sympathizer! Go kill a baby or rape some women, why don’t you, terrorist!

    Why would they want to join the IOF?

          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.
