As a strong supporter of President Biden, Rep. Pramila Jayapal emphasized the importance of unity within the country and urged the president to be courageous on this issue.
She highlighted the moral significance of the conflict and the need for the American people to understand and support the actions taken by the administration.
While acknowledging that Americans support Israel’s right to defend itself and exist, Jayapal pointed out that they do not support a war crime exchanged for another war crime. She urged President Biden to carefully consider his approach and strive to bring the nation to a higher place.
“The American people are actually quite far away from where the president and even the majority of Congress has been on Israel and Gaza,” Jayapal stated. This statement reflects the growing divide between public opinion and the political establishment’s stance on the issue.
