“We are anti-war, we are anti-occupation, and we are anti-apartheid.”
And, apparently, pro-jihad.
There is no doubt that the U.S. government should invest first in American communities, and lower tax rates so that people in those communities can take care of themselves and be masters of their own destiny. But her moral myopia, in claiming that Israel oppresses and brutalizes “Palestinians,” while ignoring the “Palestinian” jihad, strips her words of any moral authority.
The fight for Black lives and the fight for Palestinian liberation are interconnected.
We oppose our money going to fund militarized policing, occupation, and systems of violent oppression and trauma.
We are anti-war. We are anti-occupation. And we are anti-apartheid. Period. pic.twitter.com/DO42FEre0W

“‘Squad’ Member Says US Aid to Israel Should Go to Homelessness,” by Aaron Bandler, Jewish Journal, August 4, 2021:
A clip of Representative Cori Bush (D-MO), a member of “The Squad,” giving a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives suggesting that United States aid to Israel should be redirected toward combating homelessness went viral on Twitter on August 4.
Bush was paying homage to Bassem Masri, a Palestinian activist who died in 2018. Bush said that Masri was among those protesting the “state-sanctioned murder” of Michael Brown in 2014 and that she learned that “the same equipment that they used to brutalize us is the same equipment that we send to the Israeli military to police and brutalize Palestinians.” She later added that the “St. Louis community sent me here to save lives,” meaning that “we oppose our money going to fund militarized policing, occupation, systems of violent oppression and trauma. We are anti-war, we are anti-occupation, and we are anti-apartheid, period.
“If this body is looking for something productive to do with $3 million instead of funding a military that polices and kills Palestinians, I have some communities in St. Louis city and in St. Louis County where that money can go, where we desperately need investment, where we are hurting, where we need help. Let us prioritize funding there, prioritize funding life, not destruction.”…

That’s why we need to be rid of every Bush! Be it Cory, George, Jeb, Billy, whoever! I have nothing against George P, but if he wanted to really be useful, he should have taken on a RINO somewhere, instead of Ken Paxton
But back to Cory. She was apparently one of the thugs who tried to storm the McCloskey’s property in St Louis. I do hope that McCloskey wins, so that she is unable to talk down to him going forward
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
This is the same queen bee clown who calls for defunding the police all the while she uses taxpayer money to the tune of $70,000 a year to provide her with private security. How is that for protecting the lives of her constituents?
Infidel says
Also, Cory, explain this to us very slowly. How are ‘black lives’ and ‘Palestinian liberation’ connected? Other than being Leftist pet causes?
Joeyn says
Yes and the ultimate and common pet cause of Leftism and Islam is to destroy Western Civilization which is based on Judeo Christian principles and on which the USA was founded on and thrives on.
Keith O says
The fact that she is a Dumbocrap says a lot.
No concept of reality,no morals, no common sense and a “holier than thou” mind set.
PATHETIC AND HYPOCRITICAL.
OLD GUY says
Cori Bush, just another loud mouth individual who has never done anything but shoot off her mouth as a racist black women.
