Summary of events:

Bush was elected in 2020 when she beat former Rep. William Lacy Clay in the Democratic primary.

In a phone call last summer her challenger Bell told her he would not run against her.

Bush was one of the first members of Congress to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, alongside Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., the only Palestinian American member of Congress.

This primary AIPAC spent $8.5 million supporting Bell including mailers which featured images with distortions made to Bush’s features. It is the fourth most expensive primary in House history.

This is now the 2nd Squad member AIPAC has removed through its campaign financing.

      Oh, you think Israel defending itself from Hamas means that they’re “occupying Hamas’ territory”?

                “Jewish settlers are actually indigenous to Palestine” is the same nonsense logic of “the boers are actually indigenous to South Africa” or “The French are actually native to Algeria”

                It is nonsense logic and also doesn’t address the actual concern, the settler colonialism and the apartheid.
