    Didn’t she also vote for bills that confuse criticism of Israel with antisemitism, gives military aid to Israel and their Iron Dome, and invited a bunch of AIPAC lobbyists who conflated anti-Zionism and antisemitism and condemned the BDS movement? She could do a lot better.

      I’m pretty sure she voted “present” for the Iron Dome funding, although the US Congress is complicated and maybe there were several votes (possibility even for the same bill). This predictably brought her criticism from both Zionists and pro-Palestine people.

      She was indeed condemned for having an anti-semitism discussion. I don’t know the details.

      I am sure I wouldn’t agree with every action she has made, but overall I find her to be a passionate, thoughtful leader.
