@deborahlipstadt TRUE! MORE FACTS:
Warnock supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, strongly opposes the BDS movement and conditioning or cutting aid to Israel, and will work to preserve the strong US-Israel partnership and to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

@deborahlipstadt In a recent op-ed titled “I Stand with Israel,” Warnock, who is the Senior Pastor at Martin Luther King Jr.’s church wrote: “I wholeheartedly and unabashedly echo Dr. King’s declaration that ‘Israel’s right to exist as a state in security is incontestable’.”

@deborahlipstadt Warnock stated unequivocally that he does not believe that Israel is an apartheid state and fully supports the Obama-Biden administration’s 2016 Memorandum of Understanding to support Israel’s qualitative military edge.

@deborahlipstadt Warnock has never said anything even remotely anti-Semitic, and he never defended any anti-Israel or anti-Semitic comments made by Jeremiah Wright.
Yes, Warnock has delivered sermons sharply critical of some actions of Israel’s government in the West Bank. But...

@deborahlipstadt But his solution to what he sees as mistreatment of Palestinians is not BDS and not conditioning or cutting aid to Israel. Rather, his answer is a two-state solution, which is the bipartisan pro-Israel consensus.

@deborahlipstadt The letter from the National Council of Churches that Warnock signed uses the word “apartheid” but does not call Israel an apartheid state. Rather, it notes some similarities between certain aspects of the West Bank.

@deborahlipstadt Warnock has made very clear that he does not believe Israel is an apartheid state. He strongly opposes BDS and conditioning or cutting aid to Israel.
