sional input. “I’
m frustrated
by the avalanche of tweets
that tend to circumvent
discourse,” she said. “After
visiting Ramallah, it stressed,
for me, the need for exper-
tise in this process, such as
my colleagues Ted Deutch
and Brad Schneider have.”
Deutch, D-Fla., is the
ranking member of the
House Foreign Affairs
Committee’
s Middle
East and North Africa
Subcommittee, where he is a
champion of Israel’
s security.
Schneider, D-Ill., introduced
the bipartisan resolution
opposing the global BDS
movement that passed this
summer.
Stevens spoke out against
Israel’
s decision to bar entry
to representatives Rashida
Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, who
had planned their own trip.
She added that she “strongly
opposes the BDS movement
and all attempts to delegit-
imize Israel’
s right to exist,
and I encourage all to join
me in the chorus to disavow
these actions.”
As to President Trump’
s
declaration that Jews who
voted for Democrats were
being “disloyal,” Stevens said
the comment was “frustrat-
ing and hurtful and has no
place in the political dia-
logue.
“As members of Congress,”
she added, “we need to be
clear to call out anti-Sem-
itism when we see it. We
want to unify the party and
the country. The majority
leader carries forward our
principles: Israel has the
right to exist. It has the
right to defend itself, and we
remain committed to a two-
state solution.”
She said the visit to Israel
was transformative for many
of her colleagues. “It allows
for such a better understand-
ing of the issues and allows
you to put yourself in some-
one else’
s shoes.
“There’
s so much to cel-
ebrate about Israel and the
U.S. Israeli relationship,” she
added. “Incredible things are
happening. I choose to use
my time being positive.”
