Life is full of hard choices. The NY Governor's race is not one of them. @KathyHochul is the clear choice for Muslims.
Lee Zeldin is the most anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian member of Congress. He should NOT be Governor.

TL;DR: Friends don't let friends vote for Lee Zeldin.

Zeldin's final act in Congress was to introduce a resolution to oppose "diplomatic mission in Jerusalem for outreach to Palestinians." His determination to deny Palestinian self-sovereignty is very clear. 😠

So if law enforcement officers shoot unarmed black people and lie about it, you’re not supposed to call for their defunding.
But if law enforcement officers execute a search warrant signed by a judge against someone you like, you *can* call for their defunding.
Got it.

The killing of American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is an horrific tragedy. A thorough, objective investigation is needed now. Congress is committed to the defense of press freedoms worldwide and protection of every journalist, particularly those in conflict zones.

I join countless others in mourning the death of journalist, #ShireenAbuAkleh, who was killed by Israeli military while on assignment. The U.S. must hold the Israeli government accountable for this and all other acts of unjust violence it commits.

Shireen Abu Akleh was EXECUTED with a shot to the head by Israeli snipers while wearing her helmet & bullet proof vest that said PRESS on in.
How long will we continue remaining silent while our “allies” kill journalists for telling inconvenient truths?

The Israeli military killing of Shireen Abu Akleh is devastating and infuriating. I condemn this unacceptable attack on her, on Palestinians and the freedom and safety of journalists everywhere.
There must be accountability, and we must demand an end to Israeli apartheid.

"She was fearless, but she was also human.”
Shireen Abu Akleh’s colleague and close friend @DaliaHatuqa remembers the impact she had on the Arab world, and how she inspired a generation of women to become journalists.

The passage of this legislation in the House of Representatives is a huge milestone for Muslims around the world and a powerful signal that Islamophobia cannot be tolerated anywhere.
Standing up against bigotry might expose one to attacks but we shouldn’t coward. Stand tall. ✊🏽
