Rep. Dingell declares, ‘my heart has always been with the children of Palestine’
Bold leadership from Dems camp that could potentially put an end to foreign aid:

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) recently withdrew her support for a bill that promotes the human rights of Palestinian children, explaining that she changed her mind after speaking with members of her community. This past weekend Dingell took to Twitter to inform her followers that she was still committed to the issue.
H.R.2407 is Rep. Betty McCollum’s (D-MN) historic bill that aims to end Israeli detention of Palestinian children. It would amend the Foreign Assistance Act to prohibit U.S. taxpayer money from being used for the detention of children in foreign countries, including Israel. Recent statistics from the Palestinian Prisoners’ Centre for Studies indicate that of the 450 Palestinians arrested by Israeli forces last month, 69 of them were children. Dingell (whose district includes a large Arab-American population) became a co-sponsor of McCollum’s bill in June, but on September 10th she withdrew her support.
“We must be committed to promoting a peaceful, two-state solution that empowers the Palestinian people to live in dignity and security with Israel,” Dingell told the Detroit Free Press, “After talking with many in my community about this bill. … I felt HR 2407 was ultimately counterproductive to a peaceful, two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

As Israel votes, Donald Trump proves he's the 'King of Israel'
Kim Hjelmgaard, USA TODAY Published Sept. 16, 2019
Every American president in modern times has been staunchly pro-Israel, President Donald Trump perhaps more than most.
"Trump's a true friend of Israel," said Haim Rokach, the head of the Golan Heights Regional Council that is overseeing the fledgling "Trump Heights" initiative in Bruchim, a shabby village, population approximately 7-10, that is part of Kela Alon, a larger adjoining community of 80-90 families who are predominantly secular Israeli Jews.
