Rep. Pramila Jayapal sparked the controversy on Saturday while addressing pro-Palestine protesters who interrupted a panel discussion at the Netroots Nation conference in Chicago.
“Israel is the legitimate homeland of the Jewish people and efforts to delegitimize and demonize it are not only dangerous and antisemitic, but they also undermine America’s national security,” the Democrats said in the letter. “We will never allow anti-Zionist voices that embolden antisemitism to hijack the Democratic Party and country.”
Jayapal sparked the controversy on Saturday while addressing pro-Palestinian protesters who interrupted a panel discussion at the Netroots Nation conference in Chicago. Speaking to reporters Monday afternoon, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy suggested Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the House, take action against Jayapal.“I think this is a role for the leader, Hakeem, to prove that, no, they’re not antisemitic and they cannot allow their members to continue to say what they have said in the past.”
“I also know that the many policies of the current Israeli government, including rampant settlement expansion, make it extremely difficult for Palestinians, who simply want the same rights as their Israeli neighbors, to believe such a solution is possible,” she added.
