The Heritage Foundation thinks we don’t know Hamas is far right wing just like them.
The Heritage Foundation – casual observer that there is an active cabal of Jew-haters, Israel-haters, and America-haters in Washington—all apparently aligned with the far left, progressive movement. Given their leftist orbit, they are likely funded and supported by the same backers that support the HSN and its HSOs, which actively leverage these government officials to give their cause the gravitas of Washington’s progressive elite—in terms of platform, publicity, and even law—to the detriment of the American people. Moreover, whether it is by design or the result of pressure or incompetence, the executive branch appears to be unwilling to confront, pursue, or prosecute any HSO legal violations. The “Hamas Caucus” in the House of Representatives consists of a core group of roughly a dozen of the more “progressive” Members. They include Rashida Tlaib (D–MI); Ilhan Omar (D–MN); Cori Bush (D–MO);14 See, for example, Paul J. Larkin, “The Resurgence of Antisemitism in American Higher Education,” Heritage Foundation Legal Memorandum No. 359, August 6, 2024, https://www.heritage.org/education/report/the-resurgence-antisemitism-american-higher-education. Jamaal Bowman (D–NY);15 On Tuesday, August 6, 2024, Cori Bush lost her primary to Democrat Wesley Bell after a campaign that reportedly “was boosted by more than $8 million in spending from a super PAC affiliated with the country’s largest pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, and other similar entities. That outside money transformed the race into one of the most expensive House primaries in history.” Annie Karni, “Wesley Bell Defeats Cori Bush, a ‘Squad’ Member and Vocal Critic of Israel,” The New York Times, August 6, 2024, https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/06/us/politics/cori-bush-wesley-bell-primary.html (accessed August 9, 2024). Summer Lee (D–PA); Ayana Pressley (D–MA); Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–NY); Greg Casar (D–TX); Andre Carson (D–IN); Hank Johnson (D–GA); Jan Schakowsky (D–IL); Mark Pocan (D–WI); and Pramila Jayapal (D–WA). Collectively, they have consistently expressed their anti-Israel bias through numerous statements in speeches and to the press. Often forced to apologize or “walk back” their statements because of “ignorance” or “unintended hurtfulness,” their retractions seem insincere at best and reflective of the unqualified anti-Israel positions demonstrated in their voting records. The “Hamas Caucus” has support in the Senate from Bernie Sanders (I–VT); Chris Van Hollen (D–MD); Elizabeth Warren (D–MA); and, to varying degrees, several others.
