"He’s prioritized his own political survival," stated Rep. Pramila Jayapal.
(September 3, 2024 / JNS) Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), who has called Israel a “racist state” and who, in December, twice hedged when condemning Hamas terrorists raping Israeli women, accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of “sacrificing” hostages and civilians.
“Today’s labor strike and protests are extremely important,” Jayapal stated on Monday. “Netanyahu has no interest in a ceasefire—he’s prioritized his own political survival while sacrificing hostages and tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians.”
“The United States must use the entirety of our leverage to end this war,” the congresswoman added.
Jayapal’s statement didn’t mention Hamas, the U.S.-designated terror organization that executed the hostages
