Rep. Hillary Scholten has the blood of Palestinians on her hands

As a first term Representative of the 3rd Congressional District, Hillary Scholten has mad it clear from the beginning her time in Congress that she has a deep commitment to Israel.

In 2023, Rep. Scholten, like most members of Congress, voted for the annual $3.8 Billion in US military aid to Israel. In May, GRIID posted a piece that showed the difference between Rep. Scholten and Rep; Tlaib. Rashida Tlaib re-introduced a resolution calling on Congress to recognize “the ongoing Nakba and Palestinian refugees rights.” Rep. Scholten did not support that resolution, but she did post a message on her Facebook page that said, This week marks Israel’s 75th birthday. Happy Yom Ha’atzmaut! #Israel75.

In late July of 2023, Rep. Scholten signed in to a resolution, which stated:

(1) the State of Israel is not a racist or apartheid state;

(2) Congress rejects all forms of antisemitism and xenophobia; and

(3) the United States will always be a staunch partner and supporter of Israel.

In August of 2023, Rep. Scholten went on an AIPAC-sponsored trip to Israel, which solidified her allegiance to Israel. GRIID posted a piece about that trip, with AIPAC created videos you can find here.

Since the Israeli retaliation for the October 7th attack from Hamas, I have written 17 articles about Rep. Scholten and her unconditional support for Israel and her opposition to those who are opposing genocide. Many of these actions are in violation of International Law, specifically the Genocide Convention and the War Crimes Tribunal. What follows are links to those 17 articles demonstrating that Rep. Hillary Scholten has Palestinian blood on her hands.
