Watch what happens with Khan al-Ahmar. Whether Israel’s government chooses to proceed with the demolition of the Palestinian village and forced relocation of its residents is a choice between reducing tensions versus further provocative acts of annexation and human rights abuses.
Quote Tweet
Yesterday we led a tour of the community of Khan al-Ahmar, which Israel wants to forcibly transfer, with the Head of the EU Delegation to the West Bank and Gaza along with some 30 diplomats from various countries. Israel is due to respond to the Israeli High Court tomorrow.

Growing up poor, all I had was the American dream. It kept me going: as a kid sleeping on the floor, a student scrubbing toilets, a Marine losing brothers in Iraq.
Today, too many Arizonans see their dream slipping away. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to win it back for you!

Hochul is self-immolating. No Democratic official can have cops manhandling members of her base like this.
Quote Tweet
@GovKathyHochul showed up to Sunset Park and not only used MLK legacy but also Sunset park community as pawns to push her conservative judge. And the worst part was she brought police with her and kicked out a respected, afro-latina leader who belongs to the church. #NoLaSalle

so I think this also helps illustrate how bad Kathy Hochul is at politics: the neighborhood where she threw a Black woman out of her own church while crassly invoking MLK is split between the districts of two senators who are publicly uneasy with LaSalle’s nomination
