Stance on PalestineĀ
I strongly support H.R. 786 to ensure the United States rigorously enforces the Leahy Laws, which prohibit the U.S. Department of State and Department of Defense from providing military support to foreign security forces guilty of human rights abuses. This critical legislation also advocates for the provision of unrestricted and unconditional humanitarian aid to Gaza, reinforcing our commitment to support vulnerable populations and protect human dignity. This bill embodies our resolve to foster global stability, justice, and respect for human rights.
Additionally, I am resolutely opposed to settler violence, which forcibly displaces individuals and destabilizes communities. Such acts of aggression not only infringe upon fundamental human rights but also threaten the prospects for enduring peace and stability. It is imperative that we confront and curb these violent acts to ensure that all individuals can live securely in their homes, free from the fear of eviction or harassment. Supporting initiatives that combat settler violence is essential in our pursuit of justice, peace, and adherence to international human rights standards.
