Among the positions Chehade laid out were “opposing any legislation that entails ADDITIONAL military sales or aid to Israel,” supporting legislation that achieves “justice and self-determination” for Palestinians, and organizing “fact-finding” delegations to Palestine and other Middle East countries. 

This is only anti-Israel if you've managed to brainfuck yourself into a ideology that sees the existence of Palestine as an attack on Israel.

So supporting things that are bad for Israel isn’t “anti Israel”? You have such an interesting perception of the English language.

I think I'm confused is what you're saying in the comment that not accepting political donations from these groups is anti Israel?

Wait that is what you were saying? I for sure thought I had to be misunderstanding because that doesn't make any sense.

JNF funds projects in illegal Israeli settlements, they're a bad organization and I'm glad she's refusing to accept money from them. You're free to look up their sketchy behavior about where their funds go.

Zionism and the right for Israel to exist are frequently conflated by bad faith actors so criticisms of violent acts against Palestinians can be hand waved as antisemitic.

Are you implying ant-Zionist Jews are anti-Jewish? I think they'd be surprised to hear that.

I mean, that is literally the charter of HAMAS. Also in that charter is a decree that Hamas is part of the Muslim brotherhood which has been labeled a terrorist organization by other Islamic countries like Egypt. But whatever floats your boat

Pointing that out tends to get you downvoted to oblivion on this sub.

I strongly supported Newman over her predecessor, who was pretty much the embodiment of Chicago political corruption. Turns out Newman may not be that much different.

Just donated to Newman's 2022 primary opponent.

Anti-funding of illegal Israeli settlements isn't anti-Israel. But other than that yes she is corrupt.

Not surprised at all. While there are some who are openly biased towards Jewish people like Ilhan Omar, a few are probably maintaining anti-Israel positions due to bribes and dark money.
