California Representative Adam Schiff is the poster child for Israeli lobbyists being that he's an open and proud supporter of Israel’s military agenda, deserving him the nickname Awful. Adam affirmed this by stating he’s, “a steadfast supporter of Israel, I am grateful for the Biden Administration’s efforts to help Israel defend itself… I also deeply appreciate the Administration’s efforts to meet the humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza who are cynically being used by Hamas as human shields.”
Hospital staff working in Gaza have denied these claims that Hamas operates in and under the hospitals. The World Health Organization has reported that Israel has bombed healthcare facilities 167 times in Gaza since October 2023, killing over 198 medical staff. The bombing has also left 26 hospitals and 52 healthcare centers in Gaza out of service, including the destruction of 55 ambulances. Despite these horrific facts, Shifty Schiff has continued to spread lies in order to keep his pockets full with AIPAC money.
Adam’s bad takes concerning Palestine do not end there, as he comments on student-led-protest on campuses demanding their school cut military ties to Israel. Awful Adam took to his twitter to write, “Jewish students should feel safe on campus. Period. That will never be the case if we allow situations like the one at Columbia (University) — where antisemitic and hateful rhetoric is being loudly and proudly displayed — to be tolerated. This needs to stop,” Adam failed to be concerned about the safety of the student protestors that were brutally attacked and arrested while on campus in New York and California college campuses by police. Awful Adam is willing to compromise higher education’s integrity and safety as long as his AIPAC check clears.
