IMO, Rula Jebreal wouldn't be wrong about Jeffries.
Agreed!
And yes, the "Democratic" Party leaders are most definitely out-of-step with Democratic
Voters!
Here's the original interview:
When Will America Finally Quit Israel & AIPAC? | Rula JebrealShe's correct on everything else, too.
Aside from her use of the word "monkey" -- which the host confronted, and for which Jebreal apologized and explained -- she's 100% correct on all counts.
What's troubling is the number of Israel-funded black influencers who are jumping on Jebreal to condemn her as a "racist". They're claiming that she called Jeffries a "boy" as evidence of her "racism".
But she clearly referred to Jeffries as an "
errand boy" for AIPAC and Israel -- which he absolutely IS. She NEVER used the term "boy" -- which
could be considered racist IF it was used alone, without being preceded by "errand".
Case in point: Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner called Hakeem Jeffries, asking for a meeting. Jeffries lied about their meeting, saying that it was about "affordability".
It wasn't. It was all about Kushner (& Trump & Netanyahu) making sure that even if the Dems win & control the House & Senate, the U.S. Congress will STILL be controlled by Israel.
After the meeting, the House Dems leaders appointed 3 hard-core pro-Israel / pro-genocide / pro-war hawks to prominent roles on House foreign policy committees:
- Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) was appointed to join the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC);
- Wesley Bell (D-MO) was also appointed to join HFAC;
- Jared Moscowitz (D-FL) was appointed as the new ranking member of the Middle East & N Africa subcommittee.
Quote:
The HFAC's ranking member and likely next chair Greg Meeks (D-NY) similarly a hardline supporter of Israel and of autocratic U.S. allies unsurprisingly praised the new likeminded appointees and expressed positivity about how they will soon "guide the committee as it addresses urgent challenges in national security and diplomacy."
Moskowitz's appointment in particular should be of concern to supporters of human rights and international law: It puts him in the position to chair the subcommittee in the likely event that Democrats gain a majority in the House of Representatives after the November elections.

These moves put the House Democrats solidly in support of the Trump / GOP foreign policy, and their disastrous & unpopular Iran War.For anyone who disagrees with Rula Jebreal's assessment of Hakeem Jeffries as an
errand boy for Israel & AIPAC, please share with us some evidence. Provide evidence of the times when Jeffries made a principled stand AGAINST AIPAC, or Israel, or any major "Democratic" Party Donor.
I'll wait...
As I've said countless times before --
"Democratic" Party leaders would rather lose to Trump than WIN with Progressive / independent / non-corrupt / anti-genocide candidates.So much for "Vote Blue no matter who."
