Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky has introduced a resolution in the House that would express solidarity with the anti-overhaul protest movement in Israel.
The resolution states that “it is the sense of Congress that democracy is at the core of the special relationship between the United States and Israel; Congress opposes actions that undermine Israel’s future as a Jewish, democratic state; and Congress stands with all Israelis seeking to defend liberal democracy, judicial review, and independent political institutions acting in a system of checks and balances.”
It has backing from fellow Democratic Reps. Annie Kuster (NH-02), Jerry Nadler (NY-12), Jamie Raskin (MD-08), Julia Brownley (CA-26), Gerry Connolly (VA-11), Madeleine Dean (PA-04), Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), Anna Eshoo (CA-16), Dan Goldman (NY-10), Barbara Lee (CA-12), Mark Takano (CA-39), and Susan Wild (PA-07).
The resolution is symbolic and unlikely to pass.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
