Elder of Ziyon
Since I'm always interested in the foreign policies of potential members of Congress, I looked up Lopez' platform on her website.
Here is her entire foreign policy:
The United States must cease interference in the democratic processes of other nations, whether through the use of unilateral coercive measures (sanctions), forced imposition of neoliberal austerity plans through the IMF, or through both covert and overt warfare. In every corner of the world, frontline communities are innovating responses to food scarcity, housing shortages, and climate change. These solutions have the best chance of building toward a liberated future since they are time-tested, sourced locally, and implemented through collaboration.I certainly agree that the United State shouldn't interfere in the democratic processes of other nations, but I don't think she means Israel. When she says "sanctions" she seems to be speaking about Iran.
Indeed, the only other time the word "sanctions" appears on her website is concerning Iran on her COVID-19 Response Page:
We also call for an end to sanctions on countries like Iran, so that their people can get access to the medical supplies they need in order to combat the COVID-19 crisis.Forget the fact that the US sanctions on Iran doesn't include medical equipment, or that Iran has rejected medical aid.
This idiot thinks that Iran is a democracy!
What part of "Iran's Supreme Leader" does she not understand? When the only people who run in "elections" are approved by the current leadership, does she consider the voting to be a "democratic process"?
Of course Jewish Voice for Peace loves her - they can feed her any lies they want and she's stupid enough to believe them!
