The continued escalation of violence and civilian casualties, including many children, is unacceptable. I will always be on the side of peace and human rights.

It’s unconscionable to provide a blank check to the Israeli military while the genocide of Palestinians continue. I will keep calling for a permanent ceasefire and the release of hostages.

Today, I voted against the Israel Security Supplemental. I do not support unconditional military aid that further escalates the already horrific humanitarian situation.
