Rep. Ro Khanna on Dem Vote to Halt Military Equipment Sales to Israel: We’re a Party That Believes in Two States and Peace

EXCERPT:

KHANNA: “We’re a party that believes in two states and peace. But let me tell you what we’re not for. We’re not for aid to Israel. They’ve got a $45 billion defense budget. Why are we giving them money? Why aren’t we providing it for health care here? Why aren’t we providing it for childcare here? By the way, that’s not just an issue on the Democratic Party. You look at Republican voters under 50, they agree with me. And then you look at what the devastation was in Gaza. Why aren’t we doing the Arab Peace Plan? Which, by the way, the UAE foreign minister has supported of two states. You’D have a Palestinian state and a — which is demilitarized — and an Israeli state. That’s what we are for. We should be for peace and we should be for justice in that region.”
