If you want to help the innocent people in Gaza please consider donating through Anera, which is a well-regarded emergency relief organization in Palestine. $30 covers 16 blood bags; $100 covers food for a family for one week. support.anera.org/a/palestine-em…

Democrats are making a big mistake going down the anti-Israel foreign policy road, and it will backfire. Our relationship with Israel is not a charity case - it's mutually beneficial (and every liberal dem who has ever worked in national security knows this btw). Terror plots on U.S. soil are often thwarted thanks to intelligence from Israel, but that's just one example of the advantages of the relationship. Those who argue forget why the U.S. cultivates relationships with democracies around the world and why that's central to our foreign policy. It's because WE benefit from that friendship, whether it's through trade, security, or shared values. And that benefit is a force multiplier because it works not just for own safety but toward global stability. (Read more on democratic peace theory.) Only one group of people wins when they see calls to undermine the relationship with Israel: terrorist groups. They are listening and to them, they hear it as a message of encouragement. That doesn't just threaten Israel and our interests in the region, but it threatens us here as well. Terrorist groups are not just after Israel; they are after the West and all its values. Bending to them is the worst thing we can do. So, knowing this, my question to my Democratic friends is - why on earth would anyone give an inch to terrorist groups and extremists? You are about to lose so many national security experts because of this view. Does that not signal something wrong?

McMorrow rejects that she ever sought support from AIPAC. El-Sayed brought up the report at last week’s debate from @ryangrim claiming a supporter in a leaked campaign call said McMorrow produced an “AIPAC position paper” that is “outstanding,” but has not made public.
Sam Robinson@samueljrob

I also asked McMorrow about reporting her campaign drafted a position paper seeking AIPAC support: “No, we never sought support from AIPAC. There are many Michiganders who are members of AIPAC, and I think it's important to meet with everybody.”

@beyond_process @samueljrob @ryangrim What's your source for your claim? Because I am going by what is directly on El Sayed's website. And he's clear that he supports Medicare for every American, with the option for supplemental coverage. That's NOT in lieu of Medicare.

@nd_wallingford @samueljrob @ryangrim It's not supplemental, it's total coverage in lieu of Medicare. You don't even know how Medicare works, and you want to pretend to be an expert because you're hero worshiping a politician, one I might still vote for, in spite of, but definitely not because of what you said here.

@beyond_process @samueljrob @ryangrim And importantly, under Pete's plan the Medicare buy-in would require a monthly premium in addition to payroll taxes already paid for Medicare. One could say that this is better than purely private insurance which would likely have higher premiums. But it's not Medicare for All.

@beyond_process @samueljrob @ryangrim You are pretty terribly misrepresenting El Sayed's policy. He wants Medicare expanded to cover everyone, with an option to keep supplemental private insurance some may have via their union. That's not at all the same as Pete's plan, which was an option to buy in to Medicare.

@nd_wallingford @samueljrob @ryangrim Until he changed it this year to chase union support, and now it is exactly the same as Mayor Pete's was in 2020. My your podcast bro narratives are terrible frameworks. 100% of the time. They were bad in 2020, and they are bad now. Mamdani realized that.

@beyond_process @samueljrob @ryangrim Well, you are wrong about their respective policies. They are not the same. Buttigieg's is charitably described as a public option, while El-Sayed's is actually Medicare for All.

@nd_wallingford @samueljrob @ryangrim Yes, that's what Mayor Pete called it. Abdul is advocating the same policy. Medicare, but if you have employer provided insurance you can keep it instead of taking the public option. He did this to chase union support, and you didn't even notice.

@_iamblakeley KHive are really a bunch of Hillary dead enders. They've always been pro-Israel and are perfectly fine with anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant bigotry.

@samueljrob @ryangrim Maybe if Ryan hadn't broken his hatchet on Mayor Pete's kneecaps years ago, I'd give even a portion of a f**k about anything he does.
