Hakeem Jeffries, representing New York's Eighth Congressional District, has faced criticism for his strong pro-Israel stance and close ties with AIPAC. His AIPAC-funded trips to Israel and supportive speeches give political cover to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
At the 2023 March for Israel, Jeffries declared unwavering bipartisan support for Israel and endorsed President Biden's supplemental funding request for Israel, emphasizing Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas. His paid-for position overlooks the nearly 40,000 Palestinians murdered since Oct. 7. and prioritizes military aid over humanitarian assistance. By equating criticism of Israeli policies with antisemitism, Jeffries stifles legitimate discourse and hinders efforts toward justice for Palestine.
Despite an overwhelming call by the American people for the U.S. to stop backing Israel’s genocide campaign in Gaza, U.S. politicians are prioritizing the demands of a foreign entity — Israel — over the interests of the U.S. population. Why? For decades, the Zionist lobby has bought out politicians to pass legislation solidifying U.S. support for Israel. Understanding the Zionist lobby machine is imperative for the liberation of Palestine. This resource page identifies some of the largest players in the Zionist settler-colonial project.
