The letter is backed by the anti-Israel hate group J Street. And what does AIPAC do while J Street and the Democrats smear Israel? Nothing. What are these Democrat Senators warning Israel about? They are warning Israel to not apply sovereignty to the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. All while they promise to send your money to the neo-Nazi Palestinian Authority. #Exodus!!

Contrary to the scenarios put forward by Israel's professional detractors, the sovereignty plan secures Israel and advances peace. Those who oppose it oppose everything Israel does to secure its interests.

Democratic senators release letter warning Israel against annexation
By Jewish Insider, May 21, 2020
On Thursday, a group of Democratic senators released a letter they have been working on for weeks, warning Israeli leaders against efforts against unilaterally annexing portions of the West Bank.
The letter, signed by 18 Democratic senators and authored by Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Tim Kaine (D-VA), is a watered-down version of the letter the trio drafted and distributed to fellow senators earlier this month. The initial draft threatened that unilateral annexation would end bipartisan congressional support for Israel.
The first draft of the letter had garnered seven signatures in addition to Van Hollen, Murphy and Kaine: Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Tom Udall (D-NM) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR).
A second draft of the letter, which softened the original language, was circulated among Senate offices and gained additional signatories.
The letter released on Thursday appears to have been further revised. The second draft of the letter suggested that annexation would “undermine” the close relationship between the two nations. The final letter added that “unilateral annexation puts both Israel’s security and democracy at risk.”
The last paragraph of the finalized letter, which was addressed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz, includes a warning that “If you move forward with unilateral annexation, we would not support that action.” Both prior versions of the letter read “If you move forward with unilateral annexation, we could not support that action.”
The final letter’s signatories, in addition to the original 10, include Ed Markey (D-MA), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Tom Carper (D-DE), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), who did not sign on to the letter, told Jewish Insider earlier this month: “I don’t think it is helpful for us to sow dissension in the United States as it relates to the support for Israel.”
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) issued her own letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the text of which was released last week.
The letters had the backing of J Street, which sent action alerts to its members urging them to lobby their senators to sign onto the letter.

Specifically, the 18 Senators that signed this letter. These feckless cucks are just doing the Squad’s bidding.
These are the same Congressional a-holes that screamed the sky was falling when Trump moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem.
“unilateral annexation puts both Israel’s security and democracy at risk.” but not the medieval terrorist groups, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. They’re champions of Democracy and they have the tunnels and rocket launchers to prove it.

It’s not really liberals, it is “progressives” or “progressive liberals” that are trying to take our country down by any means they can think up…May G-d help US!

Democrat Party was (is?) the party of the KKK, Jim Crow, et cetera. Why would anyone not believe they would do this to the only Jewish nation of the world?
Anyone surprised that Biden, who famously extorted Ukraine to fire an honest investigator, would want to turn on the money taps for terrorists while cutting off US support of Israel? What next; sell weapons to the jihadis?
Anyone surprised that Warren signed? I’m surprised that Sanders didn’t sign the first draft.
I just wonder if Biden thought this up on his own or was this in a script he was handed and told to read as is.

The constitution reserves foreign policy to the executive branch which resulted in the establishment of the state department and the office of secretary of state. Individual states do not set foreign policy.

“neo-Nazi Palestinian Authority” huh? The Paleswine Authority and their antisemitism and fascism owe nothing to nazism and everything to a much older and more popular form of antisemitic fascism that predates not only the existence of Germany but the existence of the German language.

Okay but why do most Jews vote D so much that the D’s take them as a default voting block? I don’t get it. The D Party is not their friend.

Who gives a s**t what these Jew hating liars and traitors say?
I sincerely hope that Israel invites them to go and do the anatomically impossible.
