BREAKING: @BettyMcCollum04 introduced a bill mandating US non-recognition of any Israeli annexation and barring US funds from being used by Israel to annex Palestinian land.
Co-sponsors on this bill are: @RashidaTlaib, @AOC, @MarkPocan, @AyannaPressley, @IlhanMN and @RepAndreCarson.
The “Israeli Annexation Non-Recognition Act” would put Congress on record as saying that Israeli land theft is illegal and a “prohibited act of aggression” under international law.

This is the latest attempt by progressive members of Congress to prevent US taxpayer dollars from going towards brutal Israeli human rights abuses. These members are changing the debate on Palestine.
