This could be bad news for US taxpayers funded occupations and oppressions abroad (and probably for GOP-MAGA and Dem neocon wings Deep Pocket funders already getting some resistance from America-First factions of Deep State):
Congressional candidate Andom Ghebreghiorgis wants to end the occupation of Palestine. He’s running against one of Israel’s biggest defenders
Michael Arria on June 20, 2019
Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY 16th District) has been a member of the House since 1989, where he’s currently the leader of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Engel has consistently been one of its most hawkish Democrats: he supported the Iraq War, helped push former President Bill Clinton to intervene in Kosovo, and opposed the Obama administration’s Iran Nuclear Deal. He’s also been one of Israel’s biggest supporters. He’s long championed for the US to move the embassy to Jerusalem and in 2017 he introduced a motion that denounced the United Nations for condemning illegal Israeli settlements. He’s also been one of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s staunchest critics and has pushed federal legislation to criminalize the BDS movement. Last October, at an event (https://mondoweiss.net/2018/10/ocasio-cortez-educated/) organized by AIPAC, Engel said that the new progressive Democrats in Congress “need to be educated” on the subject of Israel.
