Tier 3, “Pro-Israel, critical”
Voted Aye on the July 2026 Massie amendment to strip Israel’s $3.3 billion in military financing, calling it “a one-year moratorium on funding to Israel” and “a shift in tactics” driven by “my growing frustration with the right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,” while affirming that Israel “has a right to defend its borders and people” and remains “a vital American ally”; she was an original cosponsor of UNRWA restoration (Mar 2025) and voted Yea on the June 4, 2026 Lebanon war-powers resolution most Democrats opposed. She called for a humanitarian ceasefire by January 2024, wrote in April 2024 “Outraged. Heartbroken. Horrified. Fed up.” and “It is unconscionable to make the delivery and receipt of food and aid a death sentence,” and said in August 2025 “Food should never be weaponized against civilians.” In 2024 she signed the January Pressley–Raskin letter urging the State Department to affirm U.S. opposition to the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and the June Durbin-led letter backing refugee priority status for Gazans with U.S. citizen or permanent-resident relatives; in 2025 she signed letters demanding answers on the detentions of student activists Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi, and joined most House Democrats on the September Schneider–Raskin letter to Netanyahu and his ministers opposing annexation of the West Bank. In September 2026 she signed the Dexter–Ruiz letter seeking the release of Gaza pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya from Israeli detention without charge (Sep 8), the Pocan–Quigley letter on Palestinian medical workers held by Israel without charge, which says their detention “appears to represent part of a pattern by the Israeli government to further dismantle the healthcare systems in Gaza and the West Bank” (Sep 24), and a 72-member letter urging Netanyahu to contain settler violence in the West Bank and “halt further settlement approvals” (Sep 24). Early in the genocide she voted against the Hamas-financing bill (H.R.340) and the censure of Tlaib, later against the “river to the sea” resolution, the Antisemitism Awareness Act and both ICC-sanctions bills, Present on H.Res.894, and she skipped Netanyahu’s 2024 address. But she cosponsored the October 2023 “Standing with Israel” resolution, voted for the April 2024 aid package, noting that “The bill provides additional funding for the Iron Dome defense system” and that U.S. aid carries obligations up to “withholding certain arms transfers,” and she has cosponsored neither Block the Bombs nor the Ceasefire Compliance Act.
A flat 3. The Massie Aye is a real vote to withhold military financing, and she explained it by Israel’s conduct: its “actions must remain within the bounds enshrined in international law,” and it must address the humanitarian crisis, end illegal settlements in the West Bank and combat settler violence. It comes with early Nays (Nov 2023, Apr 2024) on H.R.340 and the “river to the sea” resolution, an original UNRWA cosponsorship and Gaza-civilian concern in her own words. But it is a single weapons-withholding act: she voted for the April 2024 package, citing its Iron Dome money, has cosponsored neither Block the Bombs nor the Ceasefire Compliance Act, and framed the Massie vote as a one-year signal to Netanyahu within continued support for Israel’s right to defend itself and two states. Counter-case: 3/4 on the Massie vote plus the June 2026 Lebanon war-powers Yea and her early critical votes.
