I am a Democrat. With no exception I have always voted Democratic in the past.
But for the upcoming special election for NY Congressional District 3, due to the current circumstances in Israel I will not vote for the Democratic candidate Tom Suozzi.
In 2016 Mr. Suozzi got elected to Congress and was re-elected in 2018 and 2020. He “retired” from Congress to run for the Democratic nomination (his second attempt) for governor of New York in 2022, but he didn’t win his party’s nomination in the primary.
When first elected to Congress, Suozzi’s very first speech was pushing for a Palestinian state in the West Bank of the Jordan River, otherwise known as Judea and Samaria.
After the massacre and abduction of thousands of Israelis by some of the neighbors from Gaza, a microcosm of the Judea and Samaria, I believe it is absolutely insane to send such a zealot to Congress.
In the aftermath of the massacre by the Gazans, Israel need not be pressured by Congress for creation of another explosive entity protruding inward on its borders longing for “the river to the sea.”
