Triangle-Area Congresswoman Valerie Foushee Traveled to Israel to Meet With Prime Minister Netanyahu

[Celerity]

Foushee’s office did not publicize the trip which lobbying group AIPAC organized and eight other congress members attended.

Foushee, who received more than $2 million in bundled campaign contributions from AIPAC in 2022, met with Netanyahu at a time when his government has killed more than 30,000 people, including more than 10,000 children, in Gaza in the span of five and a half months.

Netanyahu told congress members that they shouldn’t be worried about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. “We’re told, ‘you can’t do this, if you go into Rafah you’re gonna have a humanitarian catastrophe. You’re gonna have 30,000 civilian deaths.’ That’s not true. That is simply not true,” Netanyahu said. “‘Oh, the people won’t have a place to go’—well, there’s all of the Gaza Strip north of Rafah. People moved down. They can move back up.”

“People just move,” he said. “They move with their tents.”

Wilfully meeting with the war criminal Bibi (with the trip organised by the RW billionaire-funded, insurrectionist Rethug-endorsing AIPAC) more than makes her (and all other Dems on that junket) fair game for a Democratic primary challenge.
