Independent Angus King did not sign, nor did any Republicans. On 35 senators send letter to Trump opposing Palestinian aid cut Dershowitz told Israel to pay no attention to international law. I suppose it's just a matter of time before "mentioning international law" is added to the IHRA examples. On Justifying landgrab, Israel says it is ‘allowed to ignore international law’ anywhere it wants Like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she has won the victory over herself.

We could have a ***third*** Palestinian in Congress in January. He has actually lived in Gaza. Here is an interesting article on Campar-Najjar's Palestinian background and his views on Israel: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/politics/sd-me-ammar-grandfather-20180221-story.html On Elizabeth Warren’s anti corruption crusade evaporates when foreign policy is raised OpenSecrets shows that Senator Warren has received funds from the pro-Israel PAC Joint Action Committee for Political Affairs for the 2018 election cycle. Among the largest funders of this PAC are billionaire venture capitalist J.B. Pritzker and his wife. At the start of Israel's 2014 massacre in Gaza, the PAC issued a statement in support of Israel. On Elizabeth Warren’s anti corruption crusade evaporates when foreign policy is raised "For 4,000 years, the Jewish people were seen as the world’s moral compass."
