Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians.
The Illinois Democrat said he backed the Senate bid to halt Israel arms sales to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over Gaza crisis.
I’m the only leading candidate in my Democratic primary who agrees with JB Pritzker that we need to put human lives first when it comes to foreign policy. You can read more about what I believe here: katforillinois.com/issues
Kat Abughazaleh is running for Congress in Illinois' Ninth District because Democrats need to do more to stop Trump and fight for working people.
Isn't it currently illegal in Illinois to boycott Israel? Maybe we should overturn that?
No more of ALOT of guff America has been dishing out to the world!!
In the last TWO years america has sent $22 BILLION dollars of military equipment to israel. 60,000 Palestine people murdered. So the american people are paying approximately $367,000 per Palestinian death.
western nations created israel.It wasn’t a country until after ww2. Western guilt has fully funded a genocidal “country”. Fuck israel. And fuck every country and person that supports this government.
Unless we condemn Netanyahu & The leadership of Hamas who is hiding in Qatar & Qatari leadership who is funding Hamas, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. Take the $$$ &SEND an INTERNATIONAL COALITION of xARMED HUMANITARIAN AID DISTRIBUTORS TO DO IT! ISR&HMS need to be held to account. GET HMS LEADERS INTO GAZA!
Problem is Trump is also a wanna be Hitler, and he likes the idea of extermination of a population. He would like to kill off the immigrants. And when they are gone, he would like to kill off the people who disagree with him in our country.
💯 We must stop funding Netanyahu. Israel can obviously stand on its own, it just needs real leadership and not a war criminal.
Pritzker is EXACTLY what the Democrats need right now. Absolutely no filter, just facts! And in their face facts! Give 'em hell Governor Pritzker!
Amen. I totally support that. Netanyahu has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. Why do we want to give him more weapons to kill more people. It's disgusting. If we had a sane & compassionate president, he would also stop weapons from reaching Israel.
PLEASE
But the winner in the deal is Hamas! From what I've read, they are the ones blocking aid.
He's a Jew so it's all just straight bullshit and empty words. All the people saying this are just wanting public appeal and votes. You can tell how much his words mean, the blue state of IL passed the law stating no fed or state contracts w/o signing the Israeli loyalty pledge. We are fucked.
I couldn't agree more!!
👏👏💯💯
He's a virulent zionist that allowed this to go on near two years without a peep. Like most Dems, still won't call it genocide. Eyes off 2028.
Fuck that war criminal Satanyahu.
How about no more state taxes to the federal government until the cuts are reinstated
2028
If only here were President ....
USA, stop supporting WAR Crimnal Netanyahu, stop staving children & murdering the Press.
Right message, wrong messenger
That’s what I want to hear from a possible POTUS
Enough of this war crimes against innocent people.
Trump, Netanyahu and Putin deserve the fate they are cursing others with!
We've been depleting our stocks of intercept missiles protecting them while they attack Iran.
All of the aid, weapons, defense, and support needs to be rerouted to Ukraine. The one we promised to protect in 1994. The one fighting for its life against our primary enemy.
It’s about time #CutIsrealOff and arrest Netanyahu —he is a criminal!
No more tax money for red states
Netanyahu and his cabal have to STOP this genocide OR be stopped!
I understand why so many are disgusted with Israel right now. What I don’t understand is why they weren’t disgusted by decades of terror and war by Arabs and Persians
Is his state divesting from Israel or is he just yapping?
I think it's about time we let our 75 year old step child fend for themselves.
Consider: 2/4/25 Trump declared his intent for the U.S. to take over admin. control of the Gaza Strip. Trump expressed his vision to re-develop the area into the "Riviera of the Middle East". Approx. 2 million Palestinians displaced. Trump claimed the U.S. will "take it" referring to the territory.
Too little, too late. And totally ineffectual.
It is way past time for this to happen.
@hickenlooper.senate.gov doesn’t seem to agree….
When did it ever become OK to starve children?!!!
Modern-day Progressives = Anti-Semites
You’re a moron.
I agree
Fuck Netanyahu. He’s a fucking war criminal.
absolutely
It’s not just Netanyahu that’s the problem of course.
I think it's a little bit late, isn't it?Aren't the majority of them dead now?!
Thank you 🙏
No more free health care unless every US citizen gets it as well.
Finally, a politician with a brain and heart.
He's right about a lot of things!
Agreed
We give our military blank checks every day, and they commit plenty of crimes against humanity as well.
RELEASE THE FUCKING HOSTAGES! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! ARE YOU WAITING FOR ALL OF THEM TO BE MURDERED BY HAMAS!
How about just “no more checks”. Maybe Israel should pay for their own health care and education too. Just a thought from US over here with nothing.
And yet, as the death children pile up, the money & arms keep flowing.
A bit late now, I guess still better than never.
He needs to be Dem presidential nominee in 28
Sadly, Dems don't get 2 make that call. I blame the far left for sitting out so many elections. Imbecility is not limited to the RW Maggots.
100%
We need to unite to restore democracy and perfect it. All that ailes our communities is from the oppressive laws these monsters have been subjecting us to. Even the school shootings. Multi-Generational oppression. bsky.app/profile/vlf7...
Yes, I agree but answer me this...why is virtually no one calling for the release of the innocent Israeli hostages? If your relative or friend was being held hostage you'd want to do everything you could to free them, right? It seems to me that achieving that is the best way to pressure Benjy.
Let's see how serious he is with this absolutely correct stance.
Stop ALL weapons shipments AND hijacked taxpayer money to Israel.
No more blank checks for genocide.
so disappointed to see 3 Dem Latino congresspeople (Cisneros, Rivas and Aguilar) from CA went on the AIPAC trip, smiling in the photos and accepting their blood stained bribes 🤬
Sounds good and no more endless money to unaccountable entities. Fake NGO’s, colleges that have billions in endowments (Harvard!),Ukraine which takes money but can’t show where it went.
Do you think AIPAC pays them in Palestinian baby formula? #freepalestine #feedpalestine #neveragain
From the White House to Congress, there's largely been silence from US leaders on the brutal killing of 20-year-old Florida native Sayfollah Musallet.
DUDE JUST GOT MY VOTE.
💯, they should not get aid till they address the inhumane conditions there. Using Hamas as an excuse to kill innocent people by starvation is appalling
Israel is now a Nazi state. There’s “a fascist state” and then there’s “a Nazi state”. The difference is those in the fascist state look at those in the Nazi state and say “at least we’re not as bad as those dudes. JHC!” America is becoming a Nazi State. We have concentration camps for Christ’s sake
💯
He is NOT the Ukraine. Stop the money now!
Indeed.
Cut off all funds to Israel! Biden should have done it the first time Bibi didn’t stop bombing Gaza! I don’t pay my taxes to kill children!
Practice this pro life stance of yours already, you insurrectionist freaks!
It doesn't make any sense that we're sending US tax dollars overseas to kill people and taking money away from school lunch programs here in the states😳🤬
And journalists.
Hi Kat
Yeah, great idea, make wandering a "vibe" for them.
I agree
Agreed 💯
UFC to Host Historic 2026 Fight on White House Lawn – First Event of Its Kind ...see more👇 www.trenzy360.top/2025/08/ufc-...
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
kat wants to defund the jews 👀
No kidding fuck that right wing government !!!
Let's start by making sure that everyone that takes AIPAC money is not reelected!
American Israel Public Affairs Cmte organization profile: candidate recipients for the 2024 cycle and top recipients of all types for the 2024 cycle.
if @govpritzker.illinois.gov is planning a white house run, he's going about it the right way.
but at the same time, I'm not seeing ANYONE admit the truth outloud.
the GOP must, MUST, be PURGED as a Domestic Terror Organization. everyone complicit in P2025 and this abuse must be sent to the ICC.
This should have stopped a long time ago.
Israel wouldn't drop a 500 pound bomb on a café full of journalists if it was the last 500 pound bomb they had.
Right now the developing world is doing the right thing, even though they're poor.
But the developed world, despite its wealth, is profiting off genocide.
As per freaking usual 😞
Regime first, then all the issues from Gaza to Healthcare to housing to human rights, can be helped. We can't make any progress with Republicans in power. We've barely made any in 40 years.
Lets get these assholes OUT!
Siding with people who elect terrorists to represent them…who teach their children to recite poetry about killing Jews and give their children mock suicide vests to wear, who starve their own people and dig tunnels so they can hide from the people they attack? Yeah, takes a genius to support that?!!
This is old news from April '25.
👍
SAME!!! Biden should have stopped it .
Thats what's up. Only money seems to send a message
TIME to TELL AIPAC back off and US POLICY FOR HUMANITY NOT GENOCIDE and OUR POLICY... TWO STATE SOLUTION and recogniztion that PALESTINE also deserves a STATE.. See EGYPT.. that policy worked...
About time Governor. #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine
Biden and Trump both missed the boat on this debacle!
I don’t think we should be giving tax payer money to any country committing genocide. I don’t care who they are.
I love this guy!
Do you really think the tariff slush fund is for USA? No, it’s to build the Middle East riviera for Trump which was procured by Kushner in trumps first term and sign off by the Saudi’s — the new regime over there was grateful for our blessings. Genocide for power hungry rich men 🤮
How long are the Western governments going to continue to support the Palestinian Holocaust. It's Netanyahu's final solution for the Palestinian question. Israel's people have transformed into more oppressive apartheid racist than the Nazis they ran from in Europe. Making world's largest ghetto.
Way past due.
Arresting settlers stealing land would send a bigger message.
I’m with him on this. Cut off the aid to a genocidal regime now.
Thousands of Israelis want the war to end and know Netanyahu is bad.😡
About time.
Yessir, let's make the bastard start paying us back.
Yeah. Protecting terrorists' rights is the most important thing to do.
Wow, humans arguing about war and checks while we raccoons are just trying to find shiny coins and tasty snacks! But hey, maybe if we all band together here in Canada, we can repel the Dominant Power and make a cozy, calm home for all critters.
Meanwhile in Germany...
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says Germany won't authorize exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza “until further notice.”
Okay, but the same should apply to Ukraine.
$4B a year to engage in genocide. What the hell have we become?! We need to divorce Israel whose leader is also an indicted felon.
Being anti-Netanyahu is not the same as being anti-Semitic or Anti-Israel.
Jew hater.
Agreed
Also no more Hamas
Can we block the $10miilion every day too?
They are our weapons dealers, they will always have a blank check from us. When our enemies kill us with our own weapons, they have purchased them from Israel. That is Israel’s job in the American economy. They will never be stopped.
Not one cent more.
Sure looks to me like the US is complicit in genocide.
Make it done & done!
Good
Send those guns to fellow queer people instead. We'll make good use of them.
Republicans have no problem watching Isreal starve Gazans, just like they have no problem starving ours.
FYI Israel has received the most financial military aid from the U.S. compared to any other country and for the longest period. Since World War II, Israel has received an estimated $300 billion. And all for what? To commit genocide and erase Palestine from existence?
An incredibly impactful point, coming from Governor Pritzker
Dumbvernor!
Finally
Gov Pritzker is on target with all the issues. Since we can’t clone him, just spread his messages and help him keep getting elected
About fucking time a Democrat got Netanyahu’s dick out of his mouth and said it, only about twenty fucking years too late.
Time to drop these Zionist cucks.
Cut it all off until they pull out of Gaza and create a two state solution. Everything.
Agreed!
Wow! You KNOW it’s really bad when the rats finally flee the genocide
Long overdue
Republicans fought against providing additional aid to Ukraine just so we could send all that aid to a country committing genocide, because that's where trump wants his new fucking resort. So this all works out perfectly for republicans. They get to help commit genocide and get a shiny gold resort.
So now it's the evil Jews again Poisoning the wells, kidnapping the Aryan children, desecrating the host, peeing on the wafers. And this raises no red flags for the neo-liberals. Joining the neo-nazis in Jew hatred, but you just ignore that. You rationalize it: "I don't hate Jews, I hate zionism."
This is what leadership looks like!
Totally agree
Let Israel buy their own bombs.
Free Palestine.
Damn right
Free Palestine.
If Israel wants to commit crimes, they can damn well pay for it themselves.
Their own citizens might be less antagonistic when they have to give up universal health care to buy their own bombs.
That’s what Trump campaigned on… ending all the wars… bringing down costs… and putting America FIRST… isn’t that right, I think I remember him telling us that every time he was at one of his rallies!!
I find it a little late. We no Trump won’t stop it. Protester should have pressured the guy he might have had influence over.
Hope he runs for President in 2028. I use to love Pete but he wants to continue to support the war criminal in ISREAL. No thanks!
EXACTLY (RIGHT ON!)
The United States * looking at Biden* has Palestine blood on it's hands. It's sickening to me.
Governor Pritzker is correct, he is also too late in speaking out. ymmv
Absolutely. Not in my name. Netanyahu is a war criminal who’s destroying Israel worldwide.
Supporting Netanyahu is supporting genocide. We should stop all aid to the government and military immediately. Oh yeah and make Netanyahu's government pay us back like he demanded of Ukraine. Funny how that door only swings one way.
This is no longer a war, it is inhumane!!! He won't even leave food and water in and kids are dying. Should be war crimes. AND THIS HAS NOTHING AGAINST JEWS OR PALESTINIANS!!!
✊I‘ll be going up against Hakeem Jeffries in the June 2026 primary for NY-8 of Brooklyn.
He no longer serves the needs of the people. He’s not the representative Brooklyn deserves. We need people not beholden to the billionaires and the capital class. We need REAL people representing REAL people!
It’s time
Pritzker is sick. And he is responsible for his sickness.
Love that Pritzker is stepping up, trying to provide leadership for Democrats who are leaderless. I see him as our next presidential candidate
👍
Gov. Pritzker is right 💯 But that’s NOT the only story here. Pete Butigieg fumbled same question badly with a non-answer, yet Gov Pritzker is saying this out loud, & he is Jewish. This matters greatly b/c centrist Democrats who ignore genocide cannot accuse Gov. Pritzker of being an anti-Semite.
No more checks, at all, period, ever again. Let Israel pay their own way and lie in their own bed from now on
You think?
No more! After a full on genocide 😂
Feels like something starting to happen? OMG I hope so, I can't take genocide happening anymore. Help Palestine 🇵🇸
It’s time for our elected reps to do what their constituents want / demand them to do.
Now let's hear the same from other Dem states: Gov. Shapiro?
Dems forcing me to like a billionaire is an additional crime
Profiting from War in ANY way should become an Internatoinal War Crime and anyone caught profiting from War should rot to death in solitary confinement for the rest of their lives. TADA! Most modern war would disappear.
Hey that sounds like an awesome idea…oh never mind because my AIPAC masters told me to keep on funding them & funding the orange felon & ass fucking America forever!
Cut off funds for Israel
The Governor is correct. Enough is enough. Children are suffering. Children are not responsible for those that started this war. Stop this insanity.
He's all talk. He can't stop Trump, the GOP, and MAGA. He can't even help fund programs that Trump took away. Useless governor.
It’s about fucking time.
Well, if Israel falls and becomes another Iran, or worse another Afghanistan, the world will not be a better, more progressive place.
Same sex marriage would be illegal. Women would lose dozens of rights. Jews would be set back to pre-holocaust persecution around the world.
This governor makes me proud of Illinois, for the first time in 50 years. 😃
What? A democrat publicly taking a stand against the deadly Israeli leader? Who is being funded by the deadly American leader? Am I in OZ? "we're not in Kansas anymore"
Isreal has universal health care, abortion on demand and free college. Because WE THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS PAY FOR THEIR DEFENCE.so trumpers you don't support those things here why do you support them there?
blocking arms sales, as directly as necessary, should have always been the tactic along with boycotting, embarrassing, and generally being major irritants to Netanyahu (hopefully in creative ways)
How about no more "blank checks" for the American military while we're at it.
About time.
Pritzker is currently among the best leadership the Democrats have. I am sure I don't share every position he has, but damn do I think he'd listen to those around him while also maintaining the eye on basic human decency.
Umm, you limp-wrists all know that Israel pays us for the Defense product we sell them?
Better late than never but Jesus Christ already. We have so much blood on our hands.
since the end of World War II, Israel is the largest recipient of US aid. We are complicit in this genocide
Give the blank checks to the Ukrainians!! They are fighting to survive against an autocratic tyrant who violated international law and invaded them!!!
Let Islam in your Country and find out🦠
Israel is protecting your sorry @sss but you will soon realize when the force women to be covered and are not able to breath without men promotion
This is a genocide. Isreal should know better.
Oh I think aipac and the rich Jews will call him antisemitic for that
Govenor Pritzker should run for President. He's highly qualified and speaks out forcefully against the abuses of the Trump regime!
Irrespective of your religious beliefs or traditional allegiances I cannot comprehend how anyone in the US can continue to condone and support what Netanyahu has inflicted on Gaza. Do people not see the news? It is a shameful reflection on the callousness of US people and politicians.
👍👍👍👍👍 my tax dollars aren’t for CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY🤬🤬🤬
We need to block all support to Netanyahu‘s Israel. All support! Otherwise, we are enabling a new Hitler in a new hot Nazi party.
Why is Israel doing to others what was done to them ? Can’t they be more compassionate?
CUT OFF ARMS SUPPLY TO ISRAEL ... ... INDEFINITELY
They need to cut off Netinyahu, any way possible. Crimes against humanity.
