In a lengthy statement the day before the vote, Jeffries said that the amendment was “overly broad” because it would limit “funds for longstanding initiatives,” including refugee resettlement and peacebuilding, and that it would “restrict our country’s ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations.”
Jeffries said he would not whip other members to vote against the amendment and acknowledged that urgent changes were needed to American policy toward Israel.
He didn’t think it was pro-Israel enough, but wouldn’t organize Dem votes against it.
Bullshit

Don’t let neoliberals pretend to be progressive
Party members voting independently with their brain, what a quaint concept. Stalin and Mao would have never let that slide.
