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.”
