Tier 3, “Pro-Israel, critical”
Self-described 'enormous ally of Israel'; AIPAC-affiliated PACs and donors were her TOP contributor in 2023–24 (~$36K), though AIPAC money stops after October 2024 — the only 2026-cycle entry is a voided $5,000 contribution; has not cosponsored Block the Bombs; voted for the April 2024 Israel aid supplemental (H.R.8034). Her criticism predates July 2026: in February 2024 she said “I do not see enough evidence that the Israeli administration has shown the appropriate commitment” to the laws of armed conflict; in December 2024 she co-led, with Jason Crow and Madeleine Dean, a 77-member letter citing “credible reports of potential breaches of U.S. law” on humanitarian access; and in 2025 she signed letters urging more aid into Gaza and an investigation of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, signed the March letter demanding answers on the detention of Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil, and joined most House Democrats on the September Schneider–Raskin letter opposing West Bank annexation. In July 2026 she voted to strip Israel’s military financing, saying “The United States should not provide military assistance as a blank check.” Won't call the war unjust or use 'genocide.'
A 3. She voted Aye on the July 2026 Massie amendment and explained it in conditioning terms: “The United States should not provide military assistance as a blank check. Our security partnerships are strongest when they are grounded in accountability, American interests, and our shared values.” With Jason Crow and Madeleine Dean she co-led the December 2024 letter from 77 Democrats citing “credible reports of potential breaches of U.S. law” on aid to Gaza, and in September 2025 she wrote that “Weaponization of hunger is a war crime.” She voted against forcing the paused bomb shipment and both ICC-sanctions bills. What holds her at 3: she has not cosponsored Block the Bombs and cosponsors the U.S.-Israel Defense Partnership Act; she voted for the April 2024 aid package, the IHRA bill and the “river to the sea” resolution; and she calls herself “an enormous ally of Israel” and backs its right to defend itself. In the 2022 and 2024 cycles $56,848 reached her through AIPAC’s PAC (direct and earmarked), none since October 2024; DMFI paused its endorsement after the Massie vote, Jewish Insider reported.
