Hamas Loving Senate Democrats Introduce Resolution Recognizing Palestinian State

I actually hope Majority Leader John Thune will hold a vote on this, put Democrats on the record as supporting Hamas and hating Jews/Israel

Democratic-led US Senate resolution seeks recognition of Palestinian state

A group of U.S. senators introduced on Thursday the first Senate resolution to urge recognition of a Palestinian state, further signaling a shift in Washington sentiment toward Israel nearly two years into its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The Democratic-led measure is unlikely to pass the chamber where President Donald Trump’s Republicans have a 53-47 majority. Trump said on Thursday he disagreed with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer over whether to recognize a Palestinian state and no Republicans have joined efforts to do so.

Democrat Jeff Merkley of Oregon, who is leading the effort, said in a statement: “America has a responsibility to lead, and the time to act is now.”

The resolution urges U.S. recognition of a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel and would offer both sides hope while boosting prospects for peace, Merkley said.

In the House of Representatives, Ro Khanna of California is circulating a letter hoping to rally support for recognition of Palestinian statehood.

Demilitarized? Good luck with that. The only way that happens is if Israel is allowed to finish the job in Gaza. Still, after that the violent, Jew hating Palestinians will surely see a resurgence of Hamas. Or Hezbollah. Or some Islamic terrorist group. Democrats are essentially rewarding Hamas and the Palestinians they rule and who support them for a terrorist attack against civilians. For decades of terrorist attacks.

The Palestinian death toll from the war surpassed 65,000 on Wednesday, Gaza health authorities say. About 1,200 people were killed in the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack that triggered the war and 251 were taken hostage, according to Israeli tallies.

Israel says 48 hostages remain in Gaza and around 20 are still alive.

The Gaza “health authorities” are Hamas. This is who Democrats are listening to. Offering statehood as a reward for horrendous behavior is a bad idea. But, the Democrat base hates Israel and hates Jews, so, this resolution will make them happy.
