Tier 2/3, between “Mainstream pro-Israel” and “Pro-Israel, critical”
Voted Aye on the July 2026 Massie amendment to strip Israel's military financing, saying she “voted today against sending an additional $3.3 billion American taxpayer dollars to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government” and that, having ignored Americans' concerns “about its conduct in Gaza, which devastated civilians while ultimately empowering Hamas, and its support for settler violence in the West Bank, the Israeli government cannot expect Americans to continue to provide it with unconditional aid” — while calling her support for Israel's “right to exist and to defend itself as a Jewish and democratic state” ironclad. In August 2025 she said “innocent people in Gaza are facing a catastrophic famine” and “The unbearable and heartbreaking suffering of civilians in Gaza must end now,” and in November 2025 she joined 125 colleagues pressing Secretary Rubio to get aid to Palestinian civilians. She signed the April 2025 letter demanding answers on the arrest of Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi and joined most House Democrats on the September 2025 Schneider–Raskin letter opposing annexation of the West Bank. She voted against the January 2025 ICC-sanctions bill and the September 2026 anti-boycott bill and cosponsored the Gaza humanitarian-aid resolution (H.Res.473) and the West Bank Violence Prevention Act, but also cosponsored the 2025 Antisemitism Awareness Act and the U.S.–Israel Defense Partnership Act.
A 2/3, and the money is what holds her there rather than at 3. She backs Israel’s defense and two states, but she has criticized the conduct of the war in her own words — Gaza’s famine, civilians “devastated” by Israel’s conduct, Israeli support for settler violence — and voted to strip all of Israel’s military financing, which she explained as ending “unconditional aid,” adding that subsidizing Israel’s defense budget “no longer makes sense given the country’s wealth and military dominance in its region.” But she took money from the pro-Israel lobby’s PACs well into the 2026 cycle: $118,119 through AIPAC’s PAC (direct and earmarked), the last of it in June 2026, and $20,100 through NORPAC. At a September 2026 debate she said “the money that I did receive, I did give away”; her campaign’s report shows a $15,000 gift to the veterans’ charity she named, Operation Delta Dog (August 25, 2026); she has cosponsored no Block the Bombs or Ceasefire Compliance Act, and she cosponsored the 2025 Antisemitism Awareness Act. Counter-case: a flat 3 if the Massie vote and her famine statements are read as a break the money has not caught up with; toward a flat 2 if the vote is read, as she partly framed it, as a protest against Netanyahu that left air defense untouched.
